Why can’t I unmatch this bank line?

You click a bank transaction in Uskladitev (“Reconciliation”) and instead of the action you expected, a message says the line is already something else. VegaERP only lets a bank line be settled by one thing at a time, so before you can settle it a different way, whatever currently holds it must be released first.

What the screen says

Already matched to an invoice or payment

Ta bančna postavka je že povezana z dokumentom. Pred drugačno poravnavo jo najprej odvežite. (“This bank line is already matched to a document. Unmatch it before settling it differently.”)

Ta bančna transakcija je že povezana z drugim računom. Najprej odstranite povezavo, nato jo povežite znova. (“This bank transaction is already matched to a different invoice. Unmatch it first, then match it again.”)

Ta bančna transakcija je že povezana s plačilom. Pred razdelitvijo po računih odstranite povezavo. (“This bank transaction is already matched to a payment. Unmatch it before splitting it across invoices.”)

Already categorized to an account

Ta bančna postavka je že kontirana na konto. Pred drugačno poravnavo odstranite njeno kontiranje. (“This bank line is already categorized to a ledger account. Remove its categorization before settling it differently.”)

Already allocated across several invoices

Ta bančna postavka je že razporejena po računih. Pred drugačno poravnavo odstranite te razporeditve. (“This bank line is already allocated across invoices. Remove those allocations before settling it differently.”)

This message appears when you try to settle an already-allocated line a different way. Reversing the split itself no longer means visiting each invoice. There is an Razveljavi razdelitev (“Undo split”) button for that, described below.

Part of the payment is already allocated

Na to bančno transakcijo je že razporejeno delno plačilo. Preostali znesek razporedite med račune, namesto da celotno transakcijo povežete z enim samim računom. (“This bank transaction already has a partial payment allocated to it. Allocate the remaining amount across invoices instead of matching the whole transaction to a single invoice.”)

Already reconciled with a bank statement

Ta bančna postavka je že usklajena. Izberite odprto postavko. (“This bank line is already reconciled. Pick an open line instead.”)

There was nothing to unmatch

Ta bančna transakcija ni povezana z ničimer, zato ni česa odstraniti. (“This bank transaction is not matched to anything, so there is nothing to unmatch.”)

Already booked as a loan disbursement

Ta bančna postavka je že knjižena kot črpanje posojila. Če jo želite sprostiti, izbrišite to posojilo in jo nato poravnajte drugače. (“This bank line is already booked as a loan disbursement. If you want to release it, delete that loan, then settle it differently.”)

Why this happens

A bank line can only carry one thing at a time: a match to an invoice, a categorization to an account, an allocation across several invoices, or a loan disbursement. This stops the same money from accidentally being booked twice. When you try to settle a line a new way while it already carries one of these, VegaERP refuses the action and tells you what currently holds it.

What to do

Already matched to an invoice or payment

1. Open Uskladitev (“Reconciliation”), find the transaction (use the counterparty or amount filters if it isn’t in view), and click it.
2. In the right pane, click Razveljavi plačilo (“Reverse payment”). This deletes the payment that was recorded when the match was confirmed and reverses its journal entry; the invoice reopens as unpaid.
3. You can now settle the transaction a new way: match it to a different invoice, or split it across invoices.

If you get the same message on the transaction list under Banka (“Bank”), not in Reconciliation, use the Odstrani povezavo (“Remove match”) action in the row menu instead; the effect is the same.

Already categorized to an account

1. Under Banka (“Bank”), open the bank account and find the transaction in the list.
2. Open the row menu (the three dots on the right) and choose Razveljavi knjižbo (“Reverse posting”). The same action is also in the transaction’s details when you click it.
3. Confirm in the dialog. The journal entry the transaction was booked with is cancelled, and the cancellation is recorded under your name.
4. The transaction returns to unreconciled and you can settle it differently.

Already allocated across several invoices

Reverse the whole split in one action. You no longer have to visit each invoice:

1. Open Uskladitev (“Reconciliation”) and click the bank transaction.
2. In the right pane, on the panel listing the invoices this payment settled, click Razveljavi razdelitev (“Undo split”).
3. Read the confirmation dialog: every payment this split created is deleted, their journal entries are reversed, and each invoice it touched reopens as unpaid. Confirm with Razveljavi plačilo (“Reverse payment”).

The transaction returns to unmatched and can be allocated again.

If the accounting period has since been locked, the reversal will fail. Ask your accountant to open the period.

Part of the payment is already allocated

Instead of trying to match the whole transaction to one invoice again, allocate the rest of it:

1. Open the transaction in Uskladitev (“Reconciliation”).
2. Click Razporedi ostanek (“Allocate the remainder”) and add the open invoices the remaining part of the payment belongs to.

Already reconciled with a bank statement

This line is part of an already-finalized bank statement reconciliation (not just an invoice match), so it can’t be used again. Pick a different, still-open line from the list. If the line was included in that reconciliation by mistake, see below.

There was nothing to unmatch

This message means the transaction is already free, for example someone else already unmatched it. Click Osveži (“Refresh”) and check its current state before continuing.

Already booked as a loan disbursement

1. Open Bančništvo in denar → Posojila in najemi (“Banking & cash → Loans & leases”).
2. Find the loan that claimed this bank line and click Izbriši (“Delete”).
3. Confirm Izbrišem to posojilo in njegov načrt? (“Delete this loan and its schedule?”). This also reverses the disbursement’s journal entry, and the bank line is released so you can settle it differently.

If you can’t fix this yourself

If a line was included in an already-finalized bank statement reconciliation by mistake (the “Already reconciled with a bank statement” message), you first need to reopen that reconciliation with Razveljavi uskladitev (“Unreconcile”) on that account’s list of reconciliations. Since this reopens the whole reconciliation, not just one line, it should be done by the accountant or whoever finalized it, not by someone who only wants to unmatch a single line.
