Matching Strategies Manual Match Link a bank transaction to an existing journal entry:
lim bank match bt_01K1... --entry je_01K3...
✅ Matched: bt_01K1... ↔ je_01K3... (AWS monthly ¥11,000)
Create and Match When no journal entry exists yet, create one from the bank transaction:
lim bank match bt_01K2... --create "office equipment purchase"
✅ Created je_01K8... and matched to bt_01K2... Equipment 30,000 / Checking Account 33,000 Input VAT 3,000
Auto-Match Let lim match transactions automatically using rules, amount matching, and date proximity:
lim bank auto-match ba_01J8...
Auto-match results: ✅ Matched: 38 transactions 🤔 Suggested: 4 transactions (review required) ❌ Unmatched: 3 transactions
Review auto-match suggestions before confirming. lim uses amount, date, and description similarity but may occasionally suggest incorrect matches.
Unmatch and Exclude # Unmatch a previously matched transaction lim bank unmatch bt_01K1... # Exclude a transaction from reconciliation (e.g., internal transfer) lim bank exclude bt_01K5... --reason "Internal transfer between accounts"
