Is there anything in the works for matching transactions after doing a bank statement import. This feature would be really helpful. Example
Manual transactions are entered into the system but when you import bank statements unless the date matches the bank import the system will still import that transaction making a duplicate transaction in the bank account and there is no way of finding it easily. I think this could go hand in hand with the improvement of bank reconciliation.
Matching isn’t part of Manager’s import/reconciliation workflows.
The available workflows are:
Manually enter ALL Receipts/Payments/Inter Account Transfers
Import ALL bank transactions using Import bank statement feature.
A combination could be achieved of manual + import but you will have to manually reconcile your bank account pre-import outside Manager and identify missing transactions and then import those missing transaction only.
Personally, I go with option #3, as it is the method that allows automation using bank rules as well as give the flexibility to enter manual transaction whenever needed.
Thank you for your response. I understand how manager is currently working and this area is flawed.
What I’m asking from the devolpers is if there are any plans in the future to change this part of the program to achieve easier and smoother data entry.
You should not have to do extra work outside of the system to achieve something that a little coding could do.
Having the ability to match transactions and/or show potential duplicates because the dates are off would solve this issue. You will still have the bank rules which work wonders and save time and would still work even with a matching of transactions or showing potential duplicates as it does in the sales receipt area. one example would be to have the system show a duplicate if the amounts are the same but the dates are within a few days of each other.
