Different options to perform the procedure
Option 1:
Check whether your client has the amount in the foreign currency recorded in their general ledger. If they do, use that amount to run document matching.
Option 2:
Run document matching for other fields (f.e. invoice number, invoice date, supplier name, bank account number) and snip the amount manually.
Option 3:
Recalculate the results in the foreign currency and then run document matching. Use the steps described below:
- Add an extra column to the input data and use any search browser to look up the average exchange rate for the year
- Use the extra column to recalculate the foreign currency with the average exchange rate
- Click on the Document Matching button in the DataSnipper Ribbon, and “Start new Document Matching”.
- Select your sample data. If your sample data includes headers, check on the box "First row includes headers" & click Next and select All Documents.
- For the matching options in Input/Output table, click on the three-dots besides the Amount input and activate "Threshold Amount". Set the value to 10, and remember to adjust the threshold as needed, considering the fluctuations in the FX rate.
- Run document matching & review results!
