How does this work?
Show match banner based on:
- Vendor name matching an outstanding bill vendor
- Payment amount matching outstanding bill amount
- If a transaction may match an outstanding bill in your ERP, then Ramp will surface for your review.
- You will have the ability to match the transaction to ERP Bills.

Accounting Impact
Decrease the Bill AP
Increase to the Credit Card AP
This will not show up as a credit card expense, but it will hit the Credit Card account. Therefore, this expense will be pulled into any report that looks at the Credit Card Liability account.
FAQs
1. What is the Match Transactions to Open Bills feature?
Match Transactions to Open Bills is a feature that streamlines your accounting process by allowing matching and syncing transactions made with Ramp Cards to open bills in your ERP.
Note: This feature is limited to bills that were created in your ERP, therefore, it won't apply to open bills created in Ramp.
2. How does Match Transactions to Open Bills simplify the accounting process?
By matching and syncing transactions to open bills in your ERP system, this feature reduces manual entry and errors, making the accounting process more efficient, and saving time for your accounting team.
3. How does the matching process work?
Ramp matches transactions based on the vendor name and payment amount. If the vendor name in a transaction matches an outstanding bill vendor and the payment amount matches the outstanding bill amount, Ramp will surface this match for your review.
4. What happens after a transaction is matched to a bill?
Once a transaction is matched to a bill, this information will be reflected in the Accounting tab in your Ramp account. This allows for enhanced financial management and visibility over your expenses.
5. Can I match a transaction to multiple open bills?
Yes, the Match Transactions to Open Bills feature allows you to match a transaction to multiple open bills. If you need to allocate a transaction to several bills, simply select the relevant open bills during the matching process in your Ramp account. This will help you maintain accurate records and better manage your expenses.
6. What bills do we pull into Ramp from your ERP?
A: We only pull in USD bills. When you view bills for a transaction, there's an additional filter where the bill must be in the same entity the transaction is in AND the bill must have a $ amount equal to or smaller than the transaction.
Note: For customers using Sage Intacct, who are a multi-currency customer, bills cannot be matched at the top level for the credit card. These bills have to be opened and created at the entity level.
7. Why am I receiving the error "Invalid Bill type" when syncing a matched bill?
A: The reason for this error is because the Bill you are matching the transaction to either 1) no longer exists in your ERP or 2) has already been paid in your ERP. If this is the case, then the workaround is to unmatch the transaction in Ramp.
