Transaction Matching in General Ledger

The General Ledger in Dynamics GP allows you to link together posted transactions for enhanced control and reporting. This might be helpful if you have adjusting transactions and want to associate them in GP to the corresponding original transactions. Transacion Matching is easy to use.

First you will want to review the set up: Tools >> Setup >> Financial >> Transaction Matching.

To create a link to matching transactions go to: Transactions >> Financial >> Transaction Matching. In this screen you will lookup the account numbers for the transactions you want to link together, and then select the individual distributions within the account that you want to link. You can choose to require the links to balance in dollar amount, or not. See the setup.


Because in the above screen you cannot view the linked transactions unless you know the account numbers, you will want to print the link report by clicking on the printer icon. This is a sample of the report that will be created:

Once the transaction links have been saved, they may be viewed in this screen: Inquiry >> Financial >> Transaction Matching by, (Link Number, Account, or Group)

The Transaction Matching functionality offers a quick way to add additional documentation to General Ledger transactions, and it is easy to use.
