Match Detail To display transaction details on the Match Transaction dialog box so that you can review matching posted records or manually match an imported record to a posted record, select the record in the grid and then click this option.
Matched This check box is selected automatically if a match between a posted transaction and an imported bank record is found during the import process. This check box is updated if you manually match a bank record to a posted record on the Match Details dialog box.

You can also select this check box if the imported bank transaction matches a journal entry that is not part of a bank statement.

Type This field displays the bank transaction type, such as Payment or Receipt.
Number This field displays the reference number (for example, the check number) of the imported transaction. The value of this field is used to match the bank transaction with a posted record for check-type transactions. For non-check related transactions (deposits, electronic fund transfers, and wires), this field may be blank and may not be used for automatic matching.
Description This field displays the description of the bank record as shown in the imported file.
Transaction Date This field displays the date of the receipt or payment as indicated in the imported bank record. The value of this field is used to match the transaction with a posted record. By default, non-check related transactions are matched based on transaction date and amount.
Receipt This field displays the amount of the receipt, as indicated in the imported bank record. The value of this field is used to match the transaction with a posted record.
Payment This field displays the amount of the payment as indicated in the imported bank record. The value of this field is used to match the transaction with a posted record.
Clear Matched Transactions Select this option when you want to clear the associated receipt and payment records on the Receipts and Payments tabs with the matched transactions. This option only appears if Automatically Clear Matched Transactions is not selected on the Import tabv of Settings > Accounting > Banks; when that option is selected, receipt and payment records are cleared when the record is matched.
