Abstract
A method which provides for handling misplaced transaction documents in an image based transaction processing system which performs transaction balancing. A preferred form of the method provides for displaying out-of-balance transactions such that transaction debit and credit data are displayed along with one or more document images. Using this transaction display, it is determined whether a transaction includes a misplaced document which does not belong, or whether a document is missing from the transaction. If a transaction is found to include a document which does not belong, data corresponding to the document is stored in a free item store. If a transaction is found to have a missing document, the free item store is accessed and one or more documents therefrom are displayed to permit determining whether any of these candidates correspond to the missing document.
