Net wages - Not matched - MDA

Read the article on Net Wages Reconciliation to find out how to access the not-matched screen. The details below will explain how to match bank transactions to general ledger transactions in the net wages account.

Okay, so how do you go about matching the transactions that the algorithm was unable to match? These transactions are under the not-matched section of this screen. Click on the “Not Matched” button to access this screen.

You will then see the screen below.

The principle here is that you can search either for general ledger transactions on the right-hand side to match the bank transactions on the left or vice versa.

For instance, in this example, we will search for the general ledger transaction that matches the bank transaction at the top of the left list. To do this, click on the magnifying glass on the right in the row that corresponds to the transaction you want to match with on the left. A search box will appear like the one below.
​

There are three ways to search: by transaction date, by contractor name, or by transaction amount.

You can further refine the search by using a combination of all three search options. Once you have found the transaction you are looking for, click on the check box for the item, and then click on the “Add” button. A pop-up message like the one below will appear, advising that the transaction was previously in a different position on the screen. Would you like to replace it? As long as you are happy with your selection, select "Proceed."
​

You will now see that the green “match” button is available for the top row.

To match the transaction, simply click on the green “Match” button. The system will then confirm if the match was successful and remove the line item from the screen.

Partial matching in certain circumstances is possible on this screen. As you can see below, the top row will allow the match as long as the figure in the allocated box has been amended to the exact value of the net wages transaction on the right.
