| Account matching |  |
| Account matching consists of the matching of credit and debit entries on a single ledger account. Account matching is usually performed on the following types of ledger accounts: Interim accounts Clearing accounts Suspense accounts When you close a period, the balance of these ledger accounts must be zero or the smallest amounts possible. Usually, the related postings balance and can be matched. If the amounts of the related transactions differ by a small amount, ERP LN can generate a matching transaction to balance the account. When you analyze these accounts, you can print a report of the transactions that balance and you can examine the unmatched postings. 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 matching, ERP LN does not check whether specific transactions can be matched. Instead, ERP LN performs this check when the resulting matching transactions are approved. Account matching can only be performed on finalized transactions in the local currency.
