# Sender Identification in Reconciliation

## Business Value

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central standard, bank transactions are matched to open entries based on document numbers in the payment reference. When such a reference is missing — for example in bulk transfers or payments without a structured payment reference — automatic matching fails. Sender identification closes this gap by using the sender's IBAN or name for matching.

## Feature Description

365 business Banking extends automatic matching in the Payment Reconciliation Journal with **sender identification**: based on the business partner IBAN or sender name in the bank transaction, matching customer or vendor ledger entries are found and suggested. This significantly increases the hit rate for automatic matching, especially when no structured payment reference is present.

For more information on sender identification, see the documentation on [Related Party Matching](../../bank-reconciliation/related-party-matching.md).
