This batch job is part of the Payments Ahead module, but it can also be used to match any customer entries (the use of the task does not depend on turning on/off the Payments Ahead module). The task requires the following settings:
Customer Card
Payments tab
Application Method = Manual
To be able to match items according to the set matching parameters, the standard field Applies-to method = Manual must be set on the Payments tab.
Automatic Apply Tab
Automatic Apply
Options Yes / No
Flag that determines whether this customer will be included in the Automatic Customer Entries Apply batch job
Manner Type of Apply by Field
Election
Insequence
This option specifies that the batch job will match gradually according to the individual features of the settlement. The task first tries to match Customer Items according to Matching Characteristic 1 (e.g. according to Variable Symbol) and pairs the matching items. If the items fail to match according to Application Field 1, they will try to match them according to Apply Field 2 (e.g. according to Dimension 2 = according to the contract number), etc.
Together
This option specifies that the batch job matches customer ledger entries that meet all of the set "settlement characters" at the same time. (E.g. matching by variable symbol and amount)
Apply Signs (1-8) (Apply by Field)
Up to eight "Apply Signs" can be set for a given customer:
Apply By Field 1
Apply By Field 2
Apply by Field 3
Apply By Field 4
Apply by Field 5
Apply by Field 6
Apply by Field 7
Apply By Field 8
Each Apply By Field contains 10 values. The values in all Apply Signs 1 through 8 are the same, so you can set any combination and order you want.
(Blank) (Blank)
If the apply character is empty, then this character is not taken into account
Document No.
Items are matched according to the Customer Ledger Entry Document No.
This option is usually not used, it can only be used in specific cases
External Document No.
Items are matched according to the External Document No. on the customer ledger entry.
The external document number is not typically used on sales documents
Amount
Entries are matched according to the original posted amount
E.g. a receivable of €1000 with an unpaid balance of €200 will not be matched with a payment of €200 in this setting!
Amount with Tolerance
Items are matched according to the original posted amount, and a payment that differs from the original amount of the paired invoice up to the set difference (in the given currency) is also matched
Dimension Value 1
There are matched entries that contain identical values for Global Dimension 1
Dimension Value 2
There are paired items that contain the same values of Global Dimension 2 (Contract No. Matching)
Currency Code
With this setting, items that have the same currency enter into pairing
If matching in the same currencies is enabled in the Sales and Receivables Settings (this setting is recommended for OneCore solutions, i.e. for leasing companies) and the customer is not set to pair by currency, then if items in different currencies are found for matching (e.g. according to VS match), the pairing of items in different currencies will be terminated by an error message, which will be written in the log. The customer's pairing will be terminated and the task will continue by matching the next customer.
Remaining Amount
Items are matched according to the item's current balance. For example, a receivable of €1000 that has a balance of €200 after partial payment is matched with a payment of €200
Remaining Amount with Tolerance
Items are matched according to the current balance of the item, and a payment that differs from the current balance of the paired invoice up to the amount of the payment deviation (in the given currency) is also matched
Variable Symbol
There are paired items that contain the same variable symbol
Note: The variable symbol is available for CZ and SK legislation
