Once you implement Intercompany Transactions, doing business with your subsidiary and internal partner organizations becomes as simple as engaging with your external vendors and customers. You enter intercompany transaction information only once in the appropriate documents. You can use the functionality you are already familiar with, such as receivables and payables management. Mapping facilities for the chart of accounts and dimensions help ensure that information appears in the right places.

Intercompany Transactions lets you distribute sales and purchasing documents, as well as General Journal entries to all of your satellite offices, sales offices, or subsidiary companies, from within the program. Savings of time and increased efficiencies result throughout the organization as you eliminate redundant data entry and the sending, receiving, printing, and archiving of the sales and purchasing documents on paper.

You are in full control of all transaction documents. For example, you can reject a document sent to you and, in this way, Reverse Journal Postings and Undo Receipts/Shipments that were incorrect. Or, when making a purchase from a partner or subsidiary company, you can update the purchase order as long as the selling company has not shipped any goods.

When you enter a transaction, you do not need to specify the accounts for an individual set of books, but simply give the identification of the partner company. The Intercompany functionality creates general journal lines that result in the balancing of the books of both companies involved in a transaction. In receivables and payables, you assign an intercompany partner code to any customer or vendor. From that moment on, all orders and invoices generated pertaining to transactions with these companies will produce corresponding documents in the partner company, resulting in correct balancing of the accounts.
