    If a match or allocation is wrong, you can unmatch or unallocate the transaction. See Allocating bank transactions and Matching bank transactions.

    Auto-matching

    By default, MYOB Essentials will auto-match a transaction if there's one exact match available. You might want to turn this off if you've got a lot of transactions for the same amount, or if you find transactions are often incorrectly auto-matched.

    If you don't want transactions to be auto-matched, you can deselect the Auto-match bank transactions to MYOB Essentials transactions option from the Allocation rules page.

    If auto-matching is turned off, transactions with one match will show on the Bank transactions page as having 1 match available and you'll need to manually confirm the match yourself. See Matching bank transactions.
