Match debtors creditors

Menu options: 'Maintenance', 'Debtors', 'Match debtors - creditors'

During the evaluation of a list of outstanding amounts, the outstanding amounts owed to a company must be subtracted from the outstanding amounts owed by that same company (the company is a debtor as well as a creditor). This requires the matching of debtors and creditors.

There are two ways to match debtors and creditors: automatically or manually

•	Automatically

In this case d-basics tries to match debtors and creditors based on certain characteristics. Push the button 'Auto link' to match debtors and creditors automatically.

Note:

The degree of successful matches depends on the availability of the information used to match. Therefore always check whether the automatic matches are complete and correct.

•

Manually

The following steps must be completed to match debtors and creditors manually:

1.	Open the window 'Match debtors - creditors'

2.	In the left column select a debtor

3.	In the right column select the matching creditor

4.	Move the selected debtor and creditor to the lower field by pushing the button 'Add'.

Repeat these steps until all matching debtors and creditor are move to the lower field.

Note:

•	D-basics saves the matching information. After the initial matching of debtors and creditors, the matching data must only be kept up to date.

•	It is not possible to match debtors and creditors until data is imported from the accounting program.
