| # Account Matching (tfgld1550m000) Use this session to match transactions of a ledger account manually. If required, you can add transactions to an existing set of matched transactions. To match two or more transactions, take the following steps: Select the transactions to be matched. You can match two or more transactions. On the appropriate menu, click one of the following commands: Match without Transaction Use this command to match transactions that balance. Match with Transaction Use this command to match transactions and generate a matching transaction for the difference amount. Match with Existing Match Use this command to add the selected transaction to an existing match using the Add Transaction To Existing Match (tfgld1251m000) session. For each match LN creates a matching transaction in the Matched Transactions (tfgld1551m000) session. Note To perform account matching, you must be listed in the Account Matching Users (tfgld1152m000) session. In this session, a user's authorization is defined by an account matching authorization scheme and a ledger account matching scheme. During account matching, LN does not check whether specific transactions can be matched. Instead, LN performs this check when the resulting matching transactions are approved. To match transactions automatically, use the Match Transactions Automatically (tfgld1250m000) session.
