In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance version 10.0.31, the Automate ledger settlements process feature is available in the Feature management workspace. You can enable the Automate ledger settlements process feature only if the Awareness between ledger settlement and year-end close feature has been enabled.

Ledger settlement is the process of matching debit and credit transactions in the general ledger. Organizations that perform ledger settlement activities on a recurring schedule can now automate the process. During the automatic ledger settlement process, a debit transaction and a credit transaction can be automatically matched only if their amounts in the accounting currency are equal. For example, a debit amount of $1.00 can be automatically matched to a credit amount of $1.00. However, a debit value of $1.00 can’t be automatically matched to two credits, each of which is valued at $0.50. Partial matching of ledger transaction amounts isn’t supported.

Let’s see how it works in Dynamics.
