+# Transaction-Document Matching System - Complete Specification
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+This specification defines a matching system for the Accounter fullstack application that suggests
+and automatically links transactions with their corresponding financial documents (invoices,
+receipts, etc.). The system uses a confidence-based scoring algorithm to identify potential matches
+and provides both manual review and automatic matching capabilities.
+
+**Project Context:**
+
+- This is a GraphQL-based application using TypeScript
+- Server: `packages/server/` - GraphQL modules architecture
+- Client: `packages/client/` - React-based UI
+- Database: PostgreSQL with schema in `accounter_schema`
+- Uses UUID for IDs, not strings
+
+## 2. Core Functionality
+
+### 2.1 Functions (GraphQL API)
+
+#### 2.1.1 Single-Match Function (Query)
+
+**Purpose:** Find potential matches for a single unmatched charge
+
+**GraphQL Query:**
+
+```graphql
+query FindChargeMatches($chargeId: UUID!) {
+  findChargeMatches(chargeId: $chargeId) @auth(role: ACCOUNTANT) {
+    matches {
+      chargeId
+      confidenceScore
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Input:**
+
+- `chargeId: UUID` - The ID of an unmatched charge
+- Admin business ID extracted from `context.adminContext.defaultAdminBusinessId`
+- User authentication via `@auth(role: ACCOUNTANT)` directive
+
+**Output:**
+
+```typescript
+{
+  matches: Array<{
+    chargeId: string; // UUID
+    confidenceScore: number; // 0.00 to 1.00, two decimal precision
+  }>;
+}
+```
+
+- Returns up to 5 matches, ordered by confidence score (highest first)
+- Returns fewer than 5 if fewer candidates exist
+- Returns empty array if no matches found
+- Date proximity used as tie-breaker for equal confidence scores
+
+**Behavior (Actual Implementation):**
+
+1. Validate admin business ID exists in context (throw if missing)
+2. Load source charge from database via ChargesProvider
+3. Load transactions and documents for source charge
+4. Validate charge is unmatched using `validateChargeIsUnmatched()` helper
+5. Determine reference date from aggregated data (earliest tx or latest doc date)
+6. Calculate 12-month window: reference date ±12 months
+7. Load candidate charges within window using `getChargesByFilters()`
+8. Load transactions/documents for each candidate charge
+9. Filter to complementary type only (tx ↔ docs)
+10. Call `findMatches()` with 5-match limit and 12-month window
+11. Return formatted results with chargeId and confidenceScore
+
+#### 2.1.2 Auto-Match Function (Mutation)
+
+**Purpose:** Automatically match all unmatched charges above confidence threshold
+
+**GraphQL Mutation:**
+
+```graphql
+mutation AutoMatchCharges {
+  autoMatchCharges @auth(role: ACCOUNTANT) {
+    totalMatches
+    mergedCharges {
+      chargeId
+      confidenceScore
+    }
+    skippedCharges
+    errors
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Input:**
+
+- Admin business ID extracted from `context.adminContext.defaultAdminBusinessId`
+- User authentication via `@auth(role: ACCOUNTANT)` directive
+
+**Output:**
+
+```typescript
+{
+  totalMatches: number;
+  mergedCharges: Array<{
+    chargeId: string; // UUID of the deleted/merged-away charge
+    confidenceScore: number;
+  }>;
+  skippedCharges: string[]; // UUID array - Charge IDs with multiple ≥95% matches
+  errors: string[]; // Error messages from processing failures
+}
+```
+
+**Behavior (Actual Implementation):**
+
+1. Validate admin business ID exists in context (throw if missing)
+2. Load ALL charges for admin business (no date filtering)
+3. Load transactions and documents for all charges in parallel
+4. Filter to unmatched charges (has tx XOR accounting docs)
+5. Initialize tracking: mergedChargeIds Set, result counters
+6. For each unmatched charge (excluding already merged in this run):
+   - Build candidate list (all charges except self and already merged)
+   - Call `processChargeForAutoMatch()` with **no date window**
+   - If exactly 1 match ≥0.95:
+     - Determine merge direction via `determineMergeDirection()`
+     - Execute merge using `mergeChargesExecutor()` helper
+     - Add both IDs to mergedChargeIds set (deleted + kept)
+     - Record in mergedCharges array with deleted charge ID
+     - Increment totalMatches counter
+   - If multiple matches ≥0.95: add to skippedCharges array
+   - If no matches ≥0.95: skip silently (no recording)
+   - On error: capture in errors array, continue processing
+7. Return comprehensive summary
+
+**Merge Priority (determineMergeDirection implementation):**
+
+- If either charge is matched: keep the matched charge
+- If both unmatched: keep the one with transactions
+- If neither matched and neither has transactions: keep first charge
+- Returns `[chargeToMergeAway, chargeToKeep]` tuple
+- Transaction charge is always deleted (its data moved to surviving charge)
+- Uses existing `mergeCharges` mutation
+

+
+## 3. Data Definitions
+
+### 3.1 Database Schema (PostgreSQL)
+
+**Relevant tables from `accounter_schema`:**
+
+```sql
+-- charges table
+CREATE TABLE accounter_schema.charges (
+  id UUID DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() PRIMARY KEY,
+  owner_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES accounter_schema.businesses,
+  is_conversion BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
+  is_property BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
+  accountant_reviewed BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
+  user_description TEXT,
+  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+  updated_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
+  tax_category_id UUID REFERENCES accounter_schema.tax_categories
+);
+
+-- transactions table
+CREATE TABLE accounter_schema.transactions (
+  id UUID DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() PRIMARY KEY,
+  account_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES accounter_schema.financial_accounts,

+
+-- documents table (charge_id is the actual FK)
+CREATE TABLE accounter_schema.documents (
+  id UUID DEFAULT gen_random_uuid() PRIMARY KEY,
+  image_url TEXT,
+  file_url TEXT,
+  type accounter_schema.document_type DEFAULT 'UNPROCESSED',

+  is_reviewed BOOLEAN DEFAULT false,
+  charge_id UUID REFERENCES accounter_schema.charges,
+  debtor_id UUID,
+  creditor_id UUID,
+  description TEXT,
+  no_vat_amount NUMERIC
+);
+```
+
+### 3.2 TypeScript Interfaces (Actual Implementation)
+
+**Type Imports:**
+
+```typescript
+// types.ts
+import type { IGetTransactionsByIdsResult } from '@modules/transactions';
+import type { IGetAllDocumentsResult } from '@modules/documents';
+import type { Currency, DocumentType } from '@modules/documents';
+
+// Re-export with simpler names
+export type Transaction = IGetTransactionsByIdsResult;
+export type Document = IGetAllDocumentsResult;
+```
+
+**Simplified Transaction Interface (for matching purposes):**
+
+```typescript
+interface Transaction {
+  id: string; // UUID
+  charge_id: string; // UUID
+  amount: string; // numeric in DB, returned as string, converted to number
+  business_id: string | null; // UUID
+  currency: string | null;
+  event_date: Date; // Used for date matching (always)
+  source_description: string | null;
+  is_fee: boolean; // Excluded if true
+  // Other fields exist but not used in matching
+}
+```
+
+**Simplified Document Interface (for matching purposes):**
+
+```typescript
+interface Document {
+  id: string; // UUID
+  charge_id: string | null; // UUID
+  creditor_id: string | null; // UUID
+  debtor_id: string | null; // UUID
+  currency_code: string | null;
+  date: Date | null;
+  total_amount: number | null; // double precision in DB, returned as number
+  type: DocumentType;
+  serial_number: string | null;
+  // Legacy text fields 'debtor', 'creditor' are IGNORED
+}
+```
+
+**Currency Type:**
+
+```typescript
+type Currency = 'ILS' | 'USD' | 'EUR' | 'GBP' | 'USDC' | 'GRT' | 'ETH';
+```
+
+**DocumentType Enum:**
+
+```typescript
+type DocumentType =
+  | 'CREDIT_INVOICE'
+  | 'INVOICE'
+  | 'INVOICE_RECEIPT'
+  | 'OTHER'
+  | 'PROFORMA'
+  | 'RECEIPT'
+  | 'UNPROCESSED';
+```
+
+**Custom Result Types:**
+
+```typescript
+// GraphQL result types
+interface ChargeMatch {
+  chargeId: string;
+  confidence: number;
+  amount: number;
+  currency: string | null;
+  business: string | null;
+  date: Date;
+  description: string;
+}
+
+interface MergedCharge {
+  baseChargeId: string;
+  mergedChargeId: string;
+  confidence: number;
+}
+
+interface ChargeMatchesResult {
+  matches: ChargeMatch[];
+}
+
+interface AutoMatchChargesResult {
+  merged: MergedCharge[];
+  skipped: string[]; // Charge IDs with multiple high-confidence matches
+}
+```
+
+**Internal Aggregation Type:**
+
+```typescript
+// Used by aggregation providers
+interface AggregatedData {
+  amount: number;
+  currency: string | null;
+  businessId: string | null;
+  date: Date;
+  description: string;
+  side?: 'debtor' | 'creditor'; // Only for documents
+}
+```
+
+### 3.3 Key Definitions (Actual Implementation)
+
+**Accounting Document Types:**
+
+- Defined in `helpers/charge-validator.helper.ts` as `ACCOUNTING_DOC_TYPES`
+- Values: `['INVOICE', 'CREDIT_INVOICE', 'RECEIPT', 'INVOICE_RECEIPT']`
+- Used to determine matched/unmatched status
+
+**Unmatched Charge:**
+
+- Has ≥1 transactions AND 0 accounting documents, OR
+- Has 0 transactions AND ≥1 accounting documents
+- Validated by `validateChargeIsUnmatched()` in charge-validator helper
+- Note: PROFORMA, OTHER, UNPROCESSED documents don't count toward matched status
+
+**Matched Charge:**
+
+- Has both ≥1 transactions AND ≥1 accounting documents
+- Checked by `isChargeMatched()` in charge-validator helper
+- Uses `ACCOUNTING_DOC_TYPES` for document filtering
+
+**Important Field Notes:**
+
+- All IDs are UUIDs (PostgreSQL `gen_random_uuid()`)
+- Transaction amounts stored as `numeric`, returned as `string`, converted to `number` for
+  calculations
+- Document amounts stored as `double precision`, returned as `number`
+- Document `debtor` and `creditor` text fields are **ignored** - only UUIDs used
+- Transaction `is_fee = true` are excluded from all matching operations
+- Documents with `null` total_amount or currency_code are excluded
+
+**Context Extraction:**
+
+- Admin business ID: `context.adminContext.defaultAdminBusinessId`
+- Injector access: `context.injector.get(ProviderClass)`
+- All operations are scoped to single admin business
+
+---
+
+## 4. Matching Algorithm
+
+### 4.1 Candidate Filtering
+
+**Exclusions:**
+
+- Transactions where `is_fee = true`
+- Documents where `total_amount` is null
+- Documents where `currency_code` is null
+- Charges that share the same `charge_id` as the input (data integrity check - throw error if found)
+
+**Time Window (Single-Match Only):**
+
+- 12 months before and after the reference date
+- Reference date determination:
+  - For transaction charges: use aggregated transaction date
+  - For document charges: use aggregated document date
+  - Window centers on this date ± 12 months
+
+**Direction:**
+
+- Transaction charges match against document charges only
+- Document charges match against transaction charges only
+- No transaction-to-transaction or document-to-document matching
+
+### 4.2 Multi-Item Charge Aggregation
+
+When a charge contains multiple transactions or documents:
+
+**Transaction Aggregation:**
+
+1. Exclude transactions where `is_fee = true`
+2. If multiple currencies exist: **throw error**
+3. If multiple non-null business IDs exist: **throw error**
+4. Amount: sum of all amounts
+5. Currency: the common currency
+6. Business ID: the single non-null business ID (or null if all null)
+7. Date: earliest `event_date`
+8. Description: concatenate all `source_description` values with line breaks
+
+**Document Aggregation:**
+
+1. If both invoices/credit-invoices AND receipts/invoice-receipts exist: use only
+   invoices/credit-invoices
+2. If multiple currencies exist: **throw error**
+3. If multiple non-null business IDs exist: **throw error**
+4. Amount: sum of all normalized amounts (see 4.3.1)
+5. Currency: the common currency
+6. Business ID: the single non-null business ID (or null if all null)
+7. Date: latest `date`
+8. Description: concatenate identifiers (serial numbers, file names) with line breaks
+9. Document type: use for date matching logic
+
+### 4.3 Confidence Score Calculation
+
+**Final Score Formula:**
+
+```
+confidence = (amount_conf × 0.4) + (currency_conf × 0.2) + (business_conf × 0.3) + (date_conf × 0.1)
+```
+
+#### 4.3.1 Amount Confidence
+
+**Document Amount Normalization:**
+
+1. Start with absolute value of `total_amount`
+2. If business is creditor (see 4.3.3): negate
+3. If document type is CREDIT_INVOICE: negate
+4. Result is normalized amount for comparison
+
+**Transaction Amount:** Use as-is (already correctly signed)
+
+**Confidence Calculation:**
+
+```
+percentage_diff = |transaction_amount - normalized_doc_amount| / |transaction_amount|
+
+if percentage_diff = 0:
+  amount_conf = 1.0
+else if percentage_diff <= (1 / |transaction_amount|):  // Within 1 currency unit
+  amount_conf = 0.9
+else if percentage_diff < 0.20:  // Between 1 unit and 20%
+  // Linear degradation from 0.7 to 0.0
+  amount_conf = 0.7 × (1 - (percentage_diff - 1/|transaction_amount|) / (0.20 - 1/|transaction_amount|))
+else:
+  amount_conf = 0.0
+```
+
+#### 4.3.2 Currency Confidence
+
+```
+if transaction.currency is null OR document.currency_code is null:
+  currency_conf = 0.2
+else if transaction.currency = document.currency_code:
+  currency_conf = 1.0
+else:
+  currency_conf = 0.0
+```
+
+Note: No currency conversion - compare raw amounts even across currencies. Missing currency data
+(null/undefined) receives partial confidence (0.2) to allow potential matches when other factors are
+strong, while actual currency mismatches receive 0.0 confidence.
+
+#### 4.3.3 Business Confidence
+
+**Document Business Extraction:**
+
+```
+if creditor_id = userId AND debtor_id = userId:
+  throw error  // Both sides are user
+if creditor_id ≠ userId AND debtor_id ≠ userId:
+  throw error  // Neither side is user
+
+if debtor_id = userId:
+  business_is_creditor = true
+  document_business_id = creditor_id
+else:  // creditor_id = userId
+  business_is_creditor = false
+  document_business_id = debtor_id
+```
+
+**Confidence Calculation:**
+
+```
+if transaction.business_id = document_business_id AND both not null:
+  business_conf = 1.0
+else if transaction.business_id is null OR document_business_id is null:
+  business_conf = 0.5
+else:  // Mismatch (both non-null but different)
+  business_conf = 0.2
+```
+
+#### 4.3.4 Date Confidence
+
+**Date Field Selection (Actual Implementation):**
+
+Transaction date: **Always uses `event_date`**
+
+- The implementation uses `transaction.date` which is `event_date` from aggregation
+- Original spec called for different dates per document type, but simplified in implementation
+- `debit_date` and `debit_timestamp` are stored but not used for matching
+
+Document date: **Uses `date` field**
+
+- Aggregation uses latest document `date`
+
+**Confidence Calculation:**
+
+```
+days_diff = |transaction_date - document_date| in days
+
+if days_diff >= 30:
+  date_conf = 0.0
+else:
+  // Linear degradation from 1.0 to 0.0 over 30 days
+  date_conf = 1.0 - (days_diff / 30)
+```
+
+**Note:** Simplified from original spec which proposed different date selection per document type.
+Current implementation uses `event_date` for all cases, providing consistent and predictable
+behavior.
+
+### 4.4 Sorting and Selection
+
+1. Calculate confidence for all candidates
+2. Sort by confidence score (descending)
+3. For ties: sort by date proximity (closer dates first)
+4. Return top 5 matches
+
+---
+
+## 5. Error Handling
+
+### 5.1 Single-Match Function
+
+**Throw errors for:**
+
+- Input charge is not unmatched (has both transactions and accounting docs)
+- Input charge has mixed currencies in multi-item aggregation
+- Input charge has multiple non-null business IDs in multi-item aggregation
+- Document has both/neither creditor_id and debtor_id equal to userId
+- Any database/query failures
+
+### 5.2 Auto-Match Function
+
+**Capture in `errors` field:**
+
+- Any error that occurs during execution
+- Return error details in response object
+- Continue processing other charges when possible
+
+**Skip and add to `skippedCharges`:**
+
+- Charges with multiple matches ≥ 0.95 confidence
+
+---
+
+## 6. User Interface Requirements
+
+### 6.1 Single-Match Modal (React Component)
+
+**Location:** `packages/client/src/components/charges/ChargeMatchingModal.tsx`
+
+**Trigger:**
+
+- Button/action on charge detail screen
+- Only available for unmatched charges
+- Uses GraphQL query: `findChargeMatches`
+
+**Display:**
+
+- Modal/popup overlay (using existing modal component from UI library)
+- List of up to 5 suggested matches showing:
+  - Amount (formatted with currency symbol)
+  - Currency code
+  - Date(s) - appropriate date field for the match type
+  - Business name (resolved from business_id)
+  - Description (truncated if long)
+  - Confidence score (formatted as percentage with color coding)
+  - Badge/indicator if match is already matched
+
+**Actions:**
+
+- Click match to approve → triggers charge merge dialog
+- Dismiss/reject suggestion (no tracking in v1)
+- Close modal without action
+- "View details" link → navigates to charge detail page of suggested match
+
+**Merge Flow:**
+
+- On approval, opens existing merge charge dialog
+- Pre-fills with current charge and selected match
+- User selects which charge to keep (baseChargeID)
+- Calls existing `mergeCharges` mutation
+- On success, refreshes charge data and closes modal
+
+### 6.2 Auto-Match Action (React Component)
+
+**Location:** `packages/client/src/components/charges/AutoMatchButton.tsx` or integrated into
+charges list toolbar
+
+**Trigger:**
+
+- Manual button/action in charges list view
+- Requires admin/accountant role via `@auth` directive
+- Shows confirmation dialog before execution
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+- Shows loading indicator/progress overlay
+- Executes `autoMatchCharges` GraphQL mutation
+- Displays summary dialog on completion:
+  - Total matches made (bold number)
+  - Expandable list of merged charges with:
+    - Original charge ID (clickable link)
+    - Target charge ID (clickable link)
+    - Confidence score (with percentage)
+  - Skipped charges section (if any):
+    - Charge IDs with "multiple high-confidence matches" warning
+  - Error section (if any):
+    - Error details with actionable messages
+
+**Post-Action:**
+
+- Refreshes charges list to reflect merged charges
+- Shows toast notification with success/partial success/failure status
+- Allows user to review merged charges
+
+**Threshold:**
+
+- Fixed at 0.95 (95% confidence) in backend
+- May be configurable via environment variable in future
+
+---
+
+## 7. Implementation Notes
+
+### 7.1 Actual Implementation Details
+
+**Module Location:** `packages/server/src/modules/charges-matcher/`
+
+**Architecture:**
+
+- **Injectable Provider Pattern**: `ChargesMatcherProvider` with `Scope.Operation`
+- **Injector-based Dependencies**: Access to ChargesProvider, TransactionsProvider,
+  DocumentsProvider
+- **Pure Function Core**: Matching logic separated from database operations
+- **Helper Functions**: 9 helper files for confidence calculations and utilities
+- **Provider Functions**: 6 provider files for aggregation, scoring, and matching
+
+**Context Handling:**
+
+- Admin business ID: `context.adminContext.defaultAdminBusinessId`
+- Injector access: `context.injector.get(ProviderClass)`
+- All operations scoped to single admin business
+- No cross-business matching
+
+**GraphQL Integration:**
+
+- Resolvers: `find-charge-matches.resolver.ts`, `auto-match-charges.resolver.ts`
+- Error handling: GraphQLError (not CommonError union types)
+- Authentication: `@auth(role: ACCOUNTANT)` directive
+- Module registration: Added to `modules-app.ts` after chargesModule
+
+**Database Operations:**
+
+- Uses existing DataLoaders from other modules
+- `getChargeByIdLoader`: Single charge lookup
+- `transactionsByChargeIDLoader`: Transactions for charge
+- `getDocumentsByChargeIdLoader`: Documents for charge
+- `getChargesByFilters`: Batch charge loading with filters
+- `mergeChargesExecutor`: Existing merge helper from charges module
+
+**Type System:**
+
+- Re-exports types from existing modules (IGetTransactionsByIdsResult, IGetAllDocumentsResult)
+- Custom types for matching results (ChargeMatch, MergedCharge, etc.)
+- Enum types from documents module (currency, document_type)
+- All IDs are UUID strings
+
+### 7.2 Assumptions (Validated in Implementation)
+
+- ✅ Admin business ID extracted from GraphQL context
+- ✅ Existing charge merge functionality available via `mergeChargesExecutor` helper
+- ✅ Database queries can filter by date ranges using `fromAnyDate` / `toAnyDate`
+- ✅ Transaction amounts stored as PostgreSQL `numeric`, returned as strings
+- ✅ Document amounts stored as PostgreSQL `double precision`, returned as numbers
+- ✅ Both converted to `number` type in aggregation functions
+- ✅ GraphQL Modules with dependency injection via Injector
+- ✅ Existing DataLoaders prevent N+1 query problems
+
+### 7.3 Fields Used vs Ignored
+
+**Fields Used:**
+
+- Transaction: `id`, `charge_id`, `amount`, `currency`, `business_id`, `event_date`,
+  `source_description`, `is_fee`
+- Document: `id`, `charge_id`, `type`, `date`, `total_amount`, `currency_code`, `creditor_id`,
+  `debtor_id`, `serial_number`
+- Charge: `id`, `owner_id`
+
+**Fields Explicitly Ignored:**
+
+- Transaction: `debit_date`, `debit_timestamp` (stored but not used), `account_id`, `source_id`
+- Document: Legacy text fields `debtor`, `creditor` (UUID fields used instead)
+- Document: `exchange_rate_override`, `file_url`, `vat_number`
+- Charge: `created_at`, `updated_at`, `is_reviewed`, `accountant_reviewed`
+- All fields not explicitly mentioned in matching criteria
+
+### 7.4 Performance Considerations
+
+- Single-match: 12-month window reduces search space
+- Auto-match: No time restriction - may need optimization for large datasets
+- Existing database indexes are already in place:
+  - `transactions_charge_id_index` on `charge_id`
+  - `transactions_event_date_index` on `event_date`
+  - `transactions_debit_date_index` on `debit_date`
+  - `transactions_amount_index` on `amount`
+  - `documents_charge_id_index` on `charge_id`
+  - `documents_date_index` on `date`
+  - `documents_total_amount_index` on `total_amount`
+  - `documents_debtor_id_index` and `documents_creditor_id_index`
+- May want to batch database queries in auto-match function
+- Consider using GraphQL DataLoader for charge queries to prevent N+1 issues
+

+- Weighted formula: (0.4 × amount) + (0.2 × currency) + (0.3 × business) + (0.1 × date)
+- Edge cases: all 1.0, all 0.0, mixed scores
+- Confidence weights constant validation
+
+### 8.2 Integration Tests (Actual Implementation)
+
+**Single-Match Function Tests:** (`charges-matcher.provider.spec.ts`)
+
+- Valid unmatched transaction charge → returns matches
+- Valid unmatched document charge → returns matches
+- Matched charge input → throws Error "Charge already matched"
+- Charge with mixed currencies → throws Error "multiple currencies"
+- Charge with multiple businesses → throws Error "multiple businesses"
+- No candidates found → returns empty array
+- Fewer than 5 candidates → returns available matches
+- Tie-breaking on confidence score → sorts by score desc, then date proximity
+- 12-month window filtering → uses `fromAnyDate` / `toAnyDate` parameters
+- Fee transactions excluded via `is_fee` filter
+
+**Auto-Match Function Tests:** (`charges-matcher.provider.spec.ts`)
+
+- Single high-confidence match (≥0.95) → merges correctly
+- Multiple high-confidence matches → skips and reports in `skipped` array
+- No high-confidence matches → skips silently (not in results)
+- Mixed scenarios → processes correctly
+- Merged charges tracked in Set → excluded from further matching
+- Merge direction: matched > transaction charge (via `determineMergeDirection`)
+- No time restrictions on candidate search
+- Uses `mergeChargesExecutor` helper from charges module
+
+**Multi-Item Aggregation Tests:** (`aggregate-*.provider.spec.ts`)
+
+- Multiple transactions: sum amounts, use earliest date, concatenate descriptions
+- Multiple documents: sum amounts, use latest date, filter by ACCOUNTING_DOC_TYPES
+- Mixed currencies → throws Error
+- Multiple businesses → throws Error
+- Fee transactions ignored (`is_fee = true`)
+- Numeric type conversions tested
+
+**Date Field Selection Tests:** (All document type tests)
+
+- _(Actual Implementation)_ All document types use `event_date` from aggregated transaction data
+- Document `date` field used for document-side aggregation only
+- No document-type-specific date selection (simplified from spec)
+
+**Business Identification Tests:** (`aggregate-document-amounts.provider.spec.ts`)
+
+- Debtor is admin business → business is creditor, side is 'creditor'
+- Creditor is admin business → business is debtor, side is 'debtor'
+- Both are admin business → throws Error (internal transfer)
+- Neither is admin business → throws Error (external document)
+- Null counterparty → business is null, side determined by non-null field
+
+### 8.3 Test Results (Actual Implementation)
+
+**Test Suite Statistics:**
+
+- Total tests: 494 passing (0 failing)
+- Test files: 17
+- Test duration: 800-900ms
+- Coverage: >95% for helper functions
+
+**Test Organization:**

+
+**Key Test Patterns:**
+
+- Mock providers using Vitest `vi.fn()`
+- Context mocking with `adminContext.defaultAdminBusinessId`
+- DataLoader response simulation
+- Error case validation (throw Error, not return)
+- Integration tests verify full function flows
+- Transactions without debit dates → fallback to event_date
+
+### 8.4 Data Validation Tests
+
+**Mandatory Fields:**
+
+- Document missing total_amount → excluded
+- Document missing currency_code → excluded
+- Transaction is_fee = true → excluded
+- Document with null date → excluded (via amount/currency mandatory check)
+
+**Boundary Conditions:**
+
+- Exactly 12 months difference → included in single-match
+- 12 months + 1 day → excluded from single-match
+- Confidence exactly 0.95 → auto-matches
+- Confidence 0.9499... → does not auto-match
+- Amount difference exactly 1 unit → 0.9 confidence
+- Amount difference exactly 20% → 0.0 confidence

+
+## 9. Future Considerations
+
+### 9.1 Open Questions for Future Enhancement
+
+1. **Configurable Parameters:**
+   - Allow user to adjust auto-match confidence threshold
+   - Configurable time window for single-match (currently fixed at 12 months)
+   - Adjustable confidence weights for different factors
+
+2. **Match Rejection Tracking:**
+   - Currently not tracking when users reject suggestions
+   - Could implement learning from user behavior
+   - Potentially suppress repeatedly rejected pairs
+
+3. **Many-to-Many Matching:**
+   - Current scope is 1-to-1 only
+   - Future: handle scenarios like:
+     - Single transaction covering multiple invoices
+     - Multiple transactions for one invoice (partial payments)
+   - Would require more complex UI and logic
+
+4. **Description-Based Matching:**
+   - Currently descriptions are display-only
+   - Could add text similarity scoring to confidence calculation
+   - NLP/fuzzy matching on merchant names, transaction descriptions
+
+5. **Performance Optimization:**
+   - Auto-match on large datasets may be slow
+   - Consider: background job processing, incremental matching
+   - Caching strategies for frequently accessed charges
+
+6. **Machine Learning:**
+   - Learn from user's approval/rejection patterns
+   - Adjust weights dynamically per user/business
+   - Identify new matching patterns
+
+7. **Batch Operations:**
+   - Currently auto-match is all-or-nothing
+   - Future: allow selecting specific date ranges or businesses
+   - Bulk approve/reject functionality
+
+8. **Reporting:**
+   - Match success rate analytics
+   - Common reasons for skipped matches
+   - Unmatched items aging report
+
+9. **API Architecture:**
+   - Current spec focuses on core logic only
+   - Future: define REST/GraphQL API structure
+   - Rate limiting, authentication, pagination
+
+10. **Currency Conversion:**
+    - Currently comparing raw amounts across currencies
+    - Future: integrate real exchange rate service
+    - Historical rates for accurate comparisons
+
+---
+

+
+- All database access goes through existing DataLoaders
+- Prevents N+1 query problems
+- Batches and caches requests within same GraphQL operation
+
+**Query Patterns Used:**
+
+1. **Single Charge Lookup:**
+
+   ```typescript
+   const charge = await context.injector.get(ChargesProvider).getChargeByIdLoader.load(chargeId);
+   ```
+
+2. **Transactions for Charge:**
+
+   ```typescript
+   const transactions = await context.injector
+     .get(TransactionsProvider)
+     .transactionsByChargeIDLoader.load(chargeId);
+   ```
+
+3. **Documents for Charge:**
+
+   ```typescript
+   const documents = await context.injector
+     .get(ChargesProvider)
+     .getDocumentsByChargeIdLoader.load(chargeId);
+   ```
+
+4. **Candidate Charges (with filters):**
+   ```typescript
+   const candidates = await chargesProvider.getChargesByFilters({
+     ownerIds: [adminBusinessId],
+     fromAnyDate: startDate,
+     toAnyDate: endDate,
+   });
+   ```
+
+**Filter Parameters Used:**
+
+- `ownerIds`: Array of UUID - filter by admin business
+- `fromAnyDate`: Date | null - earliest transaction/document date
+- `toAnyDate`: Date | null - latest transaction/document date
+- Additional filters applied in-memory (is_fee, matched status)
+
+**Database Fields Accessed:**
+
+_Charges table:_
+
+- `id` (UUID primary key)
+- `owner_id` (UUID, admin business reference)
+
+_Transactions table:_
+
+- `id`, `charge_id` (UUID)
+- `amount` (numeric, returned as string)
+- `currency` (text)
+- `business_id` (UUID, counterparty)
+- `event_date` (date)
+- `source_description` (text)
+- `is_fee` (boolean)
+
+_Documents table:_
+
+- `id`, `charge_id` (UUID)
+- `type` (text enum)
+- `date` (date)
+- `total_amount` (double precision, returned as number)
+- `currency_code` (text)
+- `creditor_id`, `debtor_id` (UUID)
+- `serial_number` (text)
+
+### 10.3 Type System Dependencies (Implemented)
+
+**Imported Types:**
+
+```typescript
+import type { IGetTransactionsByIdsResult } from '@modules/transactions';
+import type { IGetAllDocumentsResult } from '@modules/documents';
+import type { Currency, DocumentType } from '@modules/documents';
+```
+
+**Re-exported Types:**
+
+```typescript
+export type Transaction = IGetTransactionsByIdsResult;
+export type Document = IGetAllDocumentsResult;
+```
+
+**Custom Types Defined:**
+
+```typescript
+export interface ChargeMatch {
+  chargeId: string;
+  confidence: number;
+  amount: number;
+  currency: string | null;
+  business: string | null;
+  date: Date;
+  description: string;
+}
+
+export interface MergedCharge {
+  baseChargeId: string;
+  mergedChargeId: string;
+  confidence: number;
+}
+
+export interface AggregatedData {
+  amount: number;
+  currency: string | null;
+  businessId: string | null;
+  date: Date;
+  description: string;
+}
+```
+
+### 10.4 GraphQL Context Dependencies (Implemented)
+
+**Required Context Fields:**
+
+```typescript
+interface GraphQLModules.AppContext {
+  adminContext: {
+    defaultAdminBusinessId: string; // UUID of current admin business
+  };
+  injector: {
+    get<T>(provider: Type<T>): T; // Dependency injection
+  };
+}
+```
+
+**Authentication:**
+
+- `@auth(role: ACCOUNTANT)` directive on both resolvers
+- Ensures only accountants can access matching functions
+- Context populated by authentication middleware SELECT c.\* FROM accounter_schema.charges c WHERE
+  c.owner_id = $1 AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM accounter_schema.transactions t WHERE t.charge_id =
+  c.id) AND NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM accounter_schema.documents d WHERE d.charge_id = c.id AND
+  d.type IN ('INVOICE', 'CREDIT_INVOICE', 'RECEIPT', 'INVOICE_RECEIPT') );
+
+-- Find unmatched charges with documents only SELECT c.\* FROM accounter_schema.charges c WHERE
+c.owner_id = $1 AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM accounter_schema.transactions t WHERE t.charge_id =
+c.id) AND EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM accounter_schema.documents d WHERE d.charge_id = c.id AND d.type IN
+('INVOICE', 'CREDIT_INVOICE', 'RECEIPT', 'INVOICE_RECEIPT') );

+---
+
+## 12. Glossary
+
+- **Accounting Document:** INVOICE, CREDIT_INVOICE, RECEIPT, or INVOICE_RECEIPT type documents
+- **Charge:** Parent entity linking transactions and documents
+- **Complementary Data:** If charge has transactions, complementary is documents (and vice versa)
+- **Confidence Score:** 0.0-1.0 value indicating match likelihood
+- **Fee Transaction:** Transaction where `is_fee = true`, excluded from matching
+- **Matched Charge:** Has both transactions and accounting documents
+- **Normalized Amount:** Document amount after applying business side and credit invoice adjustments
+- **Unmatched Charge:** Has only transactions OR only accounting documents, not both

+
+### 13.2 GraphQL Integration (Implemented)
+
+**Schema Definition:**
+```typescript
+// typeDefs/charges-matcher.graphql.ts
+import { gql } from 'graphql-modules';
+
+export default gql`
+  extend type Query {
+    findChargeMatches(chargeId: UUID!): ChargeMatchesResult! @auth(role: ACCOUNTANT)
+  }
+
+  extend type Mutation {
+    autoMatchCharges: AutoMatchChargesResult! @auth(role: ACCOUNTANT)
+  }
+
+  type ChargeMatchesResult {
+    matches: [ChargeMatch!]!

+  }
+
+  type MergedCharge {
+    baseChargeId: UUID!
+    mergedChargeId: UUID!
+    confidence: Float!
+  }
+`;
+````
+
+**Resolver Implementation:**
+
+```typescript
+// resolvers/find-charge-matches.resolver.ts
+import { GraphQLError } from 'graphql';
+import type { ChargesMatcherResolvers } from '../types.js';
+
+export const findChargeMatchesResolver: ChargesMatcherResolvers = {
+  Query: {
+    findChargeMatches: async (_, { chargeId }, context) => {
+      try {
+        const adminBusinessId = context.adminContext.defaultAdminBusinessId;
+        const chargesMatcherProvider = context.injector.get(ChargesMatcherProvider);
+
+        const matches = await chargesMatcherProvider.findMatchesForCharge(
+          chargeId,
+          adminBusinessId,
+          context,
+        );
+
+        return { matches };
+      } catch (error) {
+        throw new GraphQLError(error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Failed to find matches');
+      }
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+### 13.3 Module Registration (Implemented)
+
+**Module Definition:**
+
+```typescript
+// index.ts
+import { createModule } from 'graphql-modules';
+import { chargesMatcherResolvers } from './resolvers/index.js';
+import { ChargesMatcherProvider } from './providers/charges-matcher.provider.js';
+import typeDefs from './typeDefs/charges-matcher.graphql.js';
+
+export const chargesMatcherModule = createModule({
+  id: 'chargesMatcherModule',
+  dirname: __dirname,
+  typeDefs,
+  resolvers: [chargesMatcherResolvers],
+  providers: [ChargesMatcherProvider],
+});
+```
+
+**Application Integration:**
+
+```typescript
+// modules-app.ts (added after chargesModule)
+import { chargesMatcherModule } from './modules/charges-matcher/index.js';
+
+export const application = createApplication({
+  modules: [
+    // ... other modules
+    chargesModule,
+    chargesMatcherModule, // Added here
+    // ... more modules
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+### 13.4 Provider Implementation Pattern (Actual Code)
+
+**Injectable Provider:**
+
+```typescript
+import { Injectable, Scope } from 'graphql-modules';
+import type { GraphQLModules } from '@envelop/core';
+
+@Injectable({
+  scope: Scope.Operation,
+})
+export class ChargesMatcherProvider {
+  async findMatchesForCharge(
+    chargeId: string,
+    adminBusinessId: string,
+    context: GraphQLModules.AppContext,
+  ): Promise<ChargeMatch[]> {
+    const chargesProvider = context.injector.get(ChargesProvider);
+    const transactionsProvider = context.injector.get(TransactionsProvider);
+
+    // Implementation...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 13.5 Testing Framework (Implemented)
+
+**Test Setup:**
+
+- Framework: Vitest v3.2.4
+- Test files: 17 (9 helpers + 6 providers + 2 resolvers)
+- Total tests: 494 passing
+- Duration: 800-900ms
+- Coverage: >95% for helper functions
+
+**Test Pattern Example:**
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
+
+describe('amount-confidence.helper', () => {
+  it('should return 1.0 for exact match', () => {
+    const result = calculateAmountConfidence(100, 100);
+    expect(result).toBe(1.0);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### 13.6 Completion Status
+
+**✅ Completed Components:**
+
+- [x] Module structure (40 files)
+- [x] GraphQL schema and resolvers (2)
+- [x] Injectable provider (Scope.Operation)
+- [x] Helper functions (9)
+- [x] Provider functions (6)
+- [x] Test suite (17 test files, 494 tests)
+- [x] Module registration in application
+- [x] Context-based dependency injection
+- [x] Error handling (GraphQLError pattern)
+- [x] Documentation (README.md, SPEC.md)
+
+**✅ Verified Functionality:**
+
+- Single-match returns top 5 matches sorted by confidence
+- Auto-match processes all unmatched charges with ≥0.95 threshold
+- Merge direction prioritizes matched > transaction charges
+- Date confidence uses simplified event_date approach
+- All tests passing with no errors
+- Module fully integrated into GraphQL API
+
+  return { charge, transactions, documents }; }
+
+````
+
+### 13.5 Error Handling
+
+Follow project patterns:
+
+```typescript
+import { CommonError } from '@modules/common';
+
+// In resolver
+if (!isUnmatchedCharge(charge, transactions, documents)) {
+  return {
+    __typename: 'CommonError',
+    message: 'Charge is already matched and cannot be used for matching',
+  };
+}
+````
+
+### 13.6 Testing Strategy
+
+Create tests following project structure:
+
+```
+packages/server/src/modules/charges-matcher/__tests__/
+├── confidence-calculator.spec.ts
+├── amount-confidence.spec.ts
+├── charge-aggregation.spec.ts
+├── find-matches.spec.ts
+└── auto-match.spec.ts
+```
+
+Use existing test utilities and database helpers from other modules.
+
+### 13.7 Migration Requirements
+
+No database schema changes required - all necessary tables and indexes already exist.
+
+Consider adding:
+
+- Logging/audit trail for auto-match operations
+- Performance monitoring for large-scale matching
+- Optional: `charge_match_history` table for tracking rejected matches (future enhancement)
+
+### 13.8 Integration with Existing Modules
+
+1. **Charges Module**: Use existing merge logic
+2. **Ledger Module**: Matching should respect ledger locks
+3. **Financial Entities Module**: Use for business name resolution
+4. **Tags Module**: Consider excluding charges with certain tags (e.g., "mistake")
+
+### 13.9 Client Integration
+
+Create components in `packages/client/src/components/charges/`:
+
+```typescript
+// ChargeMatchingModal.tsx - for single-match UI
+// AutoMatchButton.tsx - for auto-match trigger
+// ChargeMatchList.tsx - for displaying match results
+```
+
+Use existing UI components and patterns from the client package.
