Match a bill to a bank transaction

Open this in Talisk HQ

Matching tells Talisk that a bank transaction paid a specific bill, which records the payment and clears the bill from Accounts Payable. There are two ways in:

  • From the bill (Ledger › Expenses): click the approved bill's purple Match pill, then pick the bank transaction that paid it.
  • From the bank line (Ledger › Banking): open the transaction's match picker and choose the bill it paid.

The bill must be Approved first, and the bank transaction must still be unmatched. The Banking-side picker is single-select: one bill per transaction. When a single bank payment covered several bills, start from the bill side instead and use the combine pane.

Good to know: The Banking-side picker matches one bill to one transaction. To settle several bills with a single bank payment, start from the bill side (its Match pill): see "Pay several bills with one payment".
