• Key Concepts: 
  Matching method is a feature of the FIN-CS-ICR S/4HANA Intercompany Matching and Reconciliation component. It is used to match intercompany documents with each other, such as sales orders, invoices, and payments. The matching method defines the criteria that must be met in order for two documents to be considered a match. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The matching method can be configured in the system settings. The criteria that must be met for two documents to be considered a match can be set according to the user’s needs. For example, the criteria can include the document type, company code, currency, and date range. Once the criteria are set, the system will automatically match documents that meet the criteria. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the criteria set for matching are appropriate for the documents being matched. For example, if two documents have different currencies, it may not make sense to match them based on currency. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the date range is wide enough to capture all relevant documents.
