Set up single source transaction matching

Global Admins can configure a Transaction Set to use Single source transaction matching, where all transactions originate from one source file. The system automatically splits transactions into positive and negative values during processing to enable matching without requiring a secondary source.

 Tip:

  • Use Single Source when transactions naturally contain both debit and credit entries.

  • Ensure transaction data includes both positive and negative values for effective matching.

  • Avoid using this setup if matching requires data from independent external sources.

Create single source transaction matching

To create a single source transaction matching, follow the instructions in Setup transaction matching for an account.

This process includes the following steps:

  • Create a transaction matching type layout

  • Set up a transaction set. For Type, select Single source.

  • Configure accounts for transaction matching

  • Assign transaction matching workflow tasks to users

How matching works

During processing, the system:

  1. Takes all transactions from the Primary Source.

  2. Separates them into:

    • Positive values

    • Negative values

  3. Treats these as two logical groups for matching.

  4. Converts values to positive for comparison.

  5. Runs the standard matching engine.
