Deduction Matching
The Deduction Matching screen is used to match claims to deductions. Select Match Deductions from the Deduction menu to access this screen.
General Info
The screen is broken out into 3 separate grids: Claims, Deductions, and Deducted Claims.
In each grid, all columns can be filtered by entering data into the text box at the top of the column. Enter the text and click Enter to filter the data – this will also update the corresponding count on the tab as well as any totals at the bottom of that grid. To clear a filter, delete the text in the filter and click Enter.
Slide the vertical grid bar to expand/collapse the Claims and Deduction grids.
Claims
When a deduction row is selected, the Claims grid is populated with Probable Matches.
Each claim row is given an Score which ranks the matched criteria for the claim in order of most to least likely a match based on the following:
1. When the deduction number matches the invoice deduction number hint, add a score of 2.
2. When the case-insensitive deduction distributor invoice number is CONTAINED inside the invoice number, add a score of 2.
3. When the deduction distributor invoice number matches invoice deduction number hint, add a score of 1.
4. When the deduction company is the same as the invoice claimant, add a score of 1.
5. When the difference between the deduction amount requested and the invoice amount requested is less than 1 cent, add a score of 1.
The above rules are summed into a final 'score' for a claim. The first 1000 (or less) claims from highest score to lowest score will be returned.
To search for claims, click the Fetch Claims button.
Enter search criteria and click Fetch.
The claims meeting the search criteria will be returned in the Claims grid.
The Tolerance fields can be used to search the Amounts within a certain dollar amount. So if the Invoice Amount Requested is $100.00 and $5.00 is entered in the tolerance field, this will return all claims with an Invoice Amount Requested between $95.00 and $105.00.
The Invoice Deduction Number Hint performs a contains search on the Deduction Hint field on the claim header.
Auto clear will remove all search criteria when the window is closed. If the box is not checked, the next time the window is opened it will show the same criteria previously searched.
Deductions
This grid displays all deductions with an Active State of Open by default. For additional information on the deduction states please see the Deduction State Definitions section in the Help Documentation.
