Enable Bank Match for Partial Amounts or Variance Tolerance
Currently, the Bank Match feature in Dext only allows matching when the invoice amount and the bank transaction amount are exactly the same. However, in real-world scenarios, this isn’t always the case. For example:
An invoice is for $1,000, but the bank feed shows $1,050 due to a credit card surcharge.
An invoice is for $1,000, but the bank feed shows $950 because the supplier offered a discount at the time of payment.
In both these cases, the match is still valid — it's just that the final payment amount differs slightly from the invoice total. It would be extremely helpful if the Bank Match feature could:
- Detect potential matches based on supplier name, even when the amounts differ slightly;
- Show a flag or suggestion that this could be a match with a variance;
- Possibly allow manual confirmation or adjustments within a defined tolerance.
This would significantly improve the efficiency of the reconciliation process and reduce manual effort in identifying these common, legitimate variances.
