How do I match my bank statement to invoices?

Upload your bank statement under Finance → Bank Import. The system automatically matches bank entries to open invoices – using, among other things, the invoice number in the remittance text, the amount and the partner – and you review, correct and then apply the matches. One bank entry can be split across several invoices.

How it works:

1. Upload the statement file from your bank under Finance → Bank Import.
2. The system tries to find the open invoice for every bank entry. Suggestions are based on the invoice number in the remittance text, the amount, the partner and earlier matches.
3. Review the suggestions: accept or change them, pick an invoice by hand, or skip the entry (for example a bank fee, salary or tax payment).
4. If one transfer pays several invoices, you can split the entry across them. A split always needs your approval.
5. Once applied, the matched entries become payments on the invoices.

If you also use the Ledger, recorded invoice payments and bank entries that a skip rule assigns to a category (such as bank fees) are booked automatically.
