• Key Concepts: 
  Matching expression is a feature of the FIN-CS-ICR S/4HANA Intercompany Matching and Reconciliation component. It is used to define the criteria for matching documents between two companies. The matching expression consists of a set of conditions that must be met in order for a document to be considered a match. These conditions can include the document type, date range, amount range, and other criteria.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the matching expression feature, first define the criteria for matching documents. This can be done by selecting the document type, date range, amount range, and other criteria that must be met in order for a document to be considered a match. Once the criteria have been defined, the matching expression can be applied to documents in order to determine if they are a match or not.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining the criteria for matching documents, it is important to consider all possible scenarios that could result in a match. For example, if two companies are trading goods with each other, it may be necessary to consider both the purchase and sales documents in order to determine if they are a match. Additionally, it is important to consider any additional criteria that may need to be met in order for a document to be considered a match.
