To accommodate different workflows and allow you increased flexibility when working with your incoming documents and reconciling your bank accounts, we have separated the auto-matching options so that you can choose to auto-match all types of documents or only invoices for example.

When the ALL filter is selected, all journals and drafts containing the bank account being reconciled are included in the list.

If you want to include specific journal series in the list so that you can use them as a filter, you can do so by ticking the Banking checkbox under Settings - Accounting - Journal types


 

Drafts are always included in the drop down together with invoices and banking templates, while only the specific journal series that have been marked for banking will appear in the process transaction view. See below.



 

Drafts and journals have their own automatic matching settings under Accounting - Automation Settings for Banking.  

For Journals we match the following fields: 

• Journal Description vs. Account description = (Payee or receiver)
• Journal's posting date vs. Transaction date
• Total of journal vs. Amount of transaction
• Transaction text (reference) vs transaction info
• Bank account vs bank account (in case of money out)

To make matching easier we now allow fuzzy matches for journals:

• partial description matching: where the journal description appears as part of, or within, the bank transaction text
• date deviation tolerance as enterd by the user
• amount deviation tolerance as entered by the user

• Exact matching is always attempted first, with rule-based matching as fallback
   

The automatic matching hierarchy is:

• Invoices
• Drafts & Journals
• Templates

Read more about matching based on journal templates.

When a journal is created from draft in banking Briox will use the data from the bank transaction to create the journal, behaving in the same manner as when creating a journal from a template.
See below what information will be displayed as journal description and what will be displayed as transaction information on the journal rows.  
This way when creating your drafts under incoming documents, you only need to enter enough data to serve as a place holder.
