Exact matches
Lines that agree exactly (the same amount, with a matching reference or date) are always matched automatically, whatever the preset.
Help centre / Matching
Matched by itself,
within your limits.
Set it once for the organisation; change it for an account only when you need to.
Open BrillrecHow it is set
An administrator sets the defaults under Settings → Matching defaults.
Choose a preset
Cautious: a person confirms every suggestion. Balanced: Brillrec matches suggestions it is 93% or more sure of. Hands-off: 85% or more, for high-volume POS and payment accounts.
Enter your figures
For Balanced and Hands-off, enter the difference allowed on an automatic match (0 for exact amounts only) and the largest amount Brillrec may match by itself (or No limit). Also enter the difference allowed at sign-off. Each currency you use has its own figures.
Accounts follow the defaults
Every account, and every one-off reconciliation, follows the defaults for its currency. An administrator can give an account its own preset and figures on its Matching policy page.
Check what was matched
A difference on an automatic match stays open until someone (or a difference rule) explains it. Every automatic match is labelled (“Brillrec (auto)” or “AI (auto)”) and listed in the sign-off pack, and can be unmatched before sign-off.
Common questions
Quick answers.
Does AI review match things by itself?
Only when the switch under Settings → AI review is on, the account’s preset allows it, and the AI is at least 95% sure, whatever the preset. Under Cautious it never does.
Which preset should we start with?
Cautious for your first months, or if your auditors want every judgement made by a person. Balanced suits most finance teams once you are comfortable with Brillrec’s suggestions.
We set policies before these presets. What happens to them?
They keep working, marked “Custom (earlier settings)”, until an administrator chooses the organisation default or a preset for the account.
Where are difference rules and explanation rules?
Under Advanced on an account’s Matching policy page, with the ledger codes for its journal export.
