Using Manual Review

When importing bank statements, FinDock automatically tries to match each transaction record with an installment. In some cases, however, no match is found. These records are flagged for further processing which can be done either through Guided Matching or Manual Review.

note

We recommend using Guided Matching which provides more refinement and support for the reconciliation process. Manual Review is considered deprecated in favor of Guided Matching.

This article explains where to find the Manual Review option and what you can do with the provided information to assist in finding a matching installment.

Open a transaction for review

Once a bank statement file has been uploaded and processed, unmatched translations are available for review. To open a transaction for review:

1. Launch the FinDock app and click on the Transaction Sets tab.
2. Open the newly created transaction set and click the Review Transaction button at the top right.
3. Click on a transaction in the left-hand pane to open the review details (see below). If there are many transactions in the list, you can use Show Filter to limit the listing.
4. Add payment details to the transaction as needed and click Save to manually match the transaction to an installment.

Review results are processed and stored the moment transactions are matched. You do not have to match the entire bank statement file before payments become visible in FinDock. If you have a transaction that you are unsure about and want to discuss with a colleague, just leave it unmatched. There is no need to book it to a temporary contact.
