Hi,
The Payment Reconciliation Journal combines payment application with bank reconciliation, so it can be a bit confusing.
When we import a bank statement and run Apply Automatically, Business Central tries to match the bank transaction with an existing open Customer or Vendor Ledger Entry.
If a transaction is successfully matched to a customer/vendor entry, Text-to-Account Mapping is not required. This functionality is mainly used for transactions that cannot be matched to existing entries, for example bank charges, interest, or other direct G/L transactions.
For a matched customer/vendor payment, I would not say that Business Central simply “picks” a G/L account from the Payment Reconciliation Journal. The G/L posting is determined by the normal posting setup behind the customer/vendor and the bank account.
To confirm which G/L account was actually used, the safest way is to check the G/L Entries after posting and trace the posted transaction.
For the exact account determination before posting, I would prefer to verify the specific scenario and setup rather than give you an assumption as confirmed system behaviour.
Regards,
Glad to help - follow up if anything is unclear.
► If this solved it, marking it verified helps others too.
