When the Reference Matcher runs, it compares the transaction records to the reference records and populates the Reference Level1 Key and Reference Level2 Key accordingly.
To check the results
-
Drill down to the rows in the output of the Reference Matcher.
-
Verify that the REFERENCE LEVEL1 KEY and REFERENCE LEVEL2 KEY attributes are populated.
-
If a record in the transaction entity matches a record in the reference entity, the Reference Matcher copies a matching key number from the reference record to the transaction record (in the Reference Level1 Key and Reference Level2 Key attributes).
-
If a record in the transaction entity does not match a record in the reference entity, the Reference Matcher generates a new key number and appends it to the input record (in the Reference Level1 Key and Reference Level2 Key attributes). The new key numbers have a unique prefix to identify them. By default, the prefix is 99999.
