Manually Matching Transactions

In Valid8, you can manually match two transactions directly without using the automated Transfer Match feature. This is useful when you have identified a specific pair of transactions that you know are related and want to link them directly. Manual matches must meet two strict requirements: the transactions must come from two different accounts, and their combined values must equal zero (one positive, one negative of the same amount).

 

Before You Begin

Have the following ready before starting:

  • Transactions already loaded and visible in the Bank Transactions window
  • The two transactions to be matched must be from different accounts and net to zero

Steps

  1. From the process map, click the Bank Transactions tile.
  2. Locate the two transactions you want to match. Note that both transactions must be from different accounts and their values must net to zero (one positive, one negative of the same amount). If these conditions are not met, you will receive an error message.
  3. Check the checkbox next to each of the two transactions.
  4. Click the Match icon (circled check mark) at the top of the table.
  5. Click the Confirm button to complete the match.

Tips & Common Questions

  • Two rules for manual matching: different accounts and net to zero. Both conditions must be true or Valid8 will return an error.
  • Manual matching is not the same as Transfer Match. The Transfer Match feature uses a patented algorithm to find matches automatically. Manual matching is for cases where you have already identified the specific pair.
  • Use filters to locate the right transactions quickly. Filter by account, date range, or amount to narrow down the transaction list before selecting your match.
