In most scenarios, incoming payments for invoices are automatically matched, but if for example a customer has rounded off the amount or partially paid an invoice you must match the transaction manually. Below, you will find examples and tips on how to match and post frequently occurring transactions.
- In Cash and bank, select the account you received a payment to.
- Select the bank transaction entry you want to match.
- Select Match.
- In the Transaction relates to field, select Payment of sales invoice.
- Select the sales invoice that has been paid.
- Select Post to ledger.
If you need to register multiple transactions for an incoming payment, select Add another until the complete amount has been matched against the invoices and the difference is zero.
There can be different situations in which the paid amount is lower than the total invoice amount. For example, the invoice will be paid via multiple partial payments, or the customer was allowed to subtract a part of the invoice amount due to payment discount. In other situations, bank charges are involved, or rounding needs to be applied to account for a small payment difference. You can handle these situations as follows.
- In Cash and bank, select the account you received a payment to.
- Select the bank transaction entry you want to match.
- Select Match.
- In the Transaction relates to field, select Payment of sales invoice.
- Select the sales invoice you received a payment for. Since the amount paid differs, the difference must be accounted for.
- In the field Reason for difference, select the option that applies to the situation.
- Select Post to ledger.
If the customer has paid an invoice with a larger amount than the invoice due, you first match the invoice to the payment and then the excess amount to the customer.
- Go to Cash and bank.

- Select the sales invoice that has been paid.

- Select Sales - Sales invoices.
- Select the credit note you want to offset.
- Select Actions - Offset.
- Select the invoice the credit note is to offset. If there are no invoices in the list, the sales invoice has probably already been registered as paid.
- Select Post to ledger.
If you have a credit note that should be used as a partial payment of a sales invoice, you match the amount the customer has paid to your bank account in Cash and bank, and then deduct the credit note to complete the payment of the invoice.
- In Cash and bank, select the account you received a payment to.
- Select the bank transaction entry you want to match.
- Select Match.
- In the Transaction relates to field, select Payment of sales invoice.
- Select the sales invoice that has been paid.
- Enter the total amount of the invoice at Paid amount. You now have a negative amount to reconcile.
- Choose Add another.
- In the Transaction relates to field, select Payment of sales credit note.
- Select the credit note you want to use as a partial payment.
- Select Post to ledger.
If the customer has paid more than one sales invoice in one single payment, the bank transaction cannot be matched against the sales invoices automatically. Instead, you have to match the incoming payment against the sales invoices manually.
- In Cash and bank, select the account you received a payment to.
- Select the bank transaction entry you want to match.
- Select Match.
- In the Transaction relates to field, select Payment of sales invoice.
- Select Select multiple.

When you receive a payment that needs to be matched against an imported journal entry, the matching is done manually. This can be the case when a payment has been registered outside of Visma eAccounting Pro and imported . If a matching journal entry cannot be found for the bank transaction, you can match it manually by following the steps below.
Please note that the journal entry that you match the bank transaction against must include a posting against the account that the payment is posted to. If for example the payment is made to the Operating account it is a posting to ledger account 1100 - Bank 1.
