An error may occur if the dimension types are set to be required for the analytical ledger and the source company does not include that analytical ledger, but the target company does.
When the transaction is posted, separate journals are generated in the source and target companies using the designated debit and credit accounts from Intercompany account mapping.
This function is available only if the INTCO activity code is active.
Refer to documentation Implementation
Journal Entry Example:
Company A has a $100 transaction reducing cash which is $40 of rent to company A with dimension department 1 and $60 of rent to company B with dimension department 5.
When the Intercompany journal entry is entered, the entry would be as follows in source CO A:
Site | Company | Legal | Debit | Credit | Accounts used |
B1 | B | RENT | 60.00 |
| Account in CO B, DIM DEPT 5 |
A1 | A | RENT | 40.00 |
| Account in CO A, DIM DEPT 1 |
A1 | A | CASH |
| 100.00 | Account in CO A |
When the journal entry is created in Intercompany journal creation, the resulting journal entries would be separate journal entries in each company as follows:
Company A
Site | Legal | Debit | Credit | Accounts used |
A1 | RENT | 40.00 |
| DIM DEPT 1 |
A1 | DUE FROM CO B | 60.00 |
| Account defined in Intercompany account mapping |
A1 | CASH |
| 100.00 |
|
Company B
Site Legal Debit Credit Accounts used B1 RENT 60.00 DIM DEPT 5 B1 DUE TO CO A 60.00 Account defined in Intercompany account mapping

| This field displays the automated sequence number from Assignment. |
| Enter text to provide the purpose of the intercompany transaction. |
| The status displayed in this field is updated upon validating a journal entry from Intercompany journal creation and Intercompany journal entry.
|
Block number 2
| Enter the date for the intercompany journal. This date is used as the accounting date during the journal creation. The date must belong to a fiscal year or period that is open for all general ledger types assigned to the source company. If the date is modified after the documents are created, verify the accounting date period is open for all of the target companies that exist on the lines. |
| Enter the journal code for the journal transaction that will be generated in Intercompany journal creation.
|
| Enter the exchange rate type that must be used to convert the amounts in currencies. |
| Enter the rate date that must be used to convert the amounts in currencies. The accounting date is the default value. |
| Enter the currency to be used when the journals are created. The main general ledger currency of the header company is the default value. If the currency is different from the original currency, the conversion will be based on the exchange rates for the selected rate type and rate date. |
Grid Lines
| It is the line number. |
| When entering intercompany journals, this field will display only the site of the companies that were defined in Intercompany account mapping.
|
| This field displays the company associated to the target site/site of the line. |
| Enter the journal type for the journal entry that will be generated during Intercompany journal creation. Each accounting journal is linked to a journal type.
|
| Enter the code for the journal entry that will be generated during intercompany creation. A default journal is assigned based on the entry/document type selected in the Type field. Only one journal code can be assigned for each company. If the line company is also used on subsequent lines in the document, then this value will be used for all subsequent lines with a repeat company. |
| This field displays the default document/header currency. If the document currency is not equal to the main general ledger currency of the target/line company, then a currency rate must be specified on the first line of each target company. |
| Enter the main control/collective account to be posted. The target account will automatically appear when a control/collective is entered. If a control account is selected, the default account field will automatically display. |
| Enter the main ledger account that is associated with the target/line company to be posted for this transaction line. |
| Enter the analytical control/collective account to be posted. The target account will automatically appear when a control/collective is entered. If a control account is selected, the default account field will automatically display. |

| On analytical inquiry, this field determines the non-financial unit linked to the displayed account. |
| Because of the analytical nature of a line, you have to enter a quantity expressed in the indicated non-financial unit.
|
| Defined here are the allocation methods for the line amount on the different dimensions of each dimension type. These methods are defined as follows:
Example: on a basis of 100, a coefficient of 10 will be read as 10 %. But, on a basis of 50, a coefficient of 10 will be equivalent to 20 %. |
Indicate in this field the dimensions that should be assigned to the posting line.
If the accounting amount is not distributed over several analytical dimensions, the "allocation" field cannot be assigned. The entry is achieved directly in the following columns, in the dimension concerned, for each of the dimension types. Default dimensions can be specified in the analytical account and taken into account or not, according to the default dimension setup. For the journals automatically generated from other modules, the default dimensions are defined by a process (see the Default dimensions documentation). |
Totals
| Total of the debit lines which compose the posting lines. |
| Total of the credit lines which compose the posting lines. |
Account
| This field displays the main or the analytical account as well as its description. |
| This field displays the total sum of debits and credits. |

Action icon
This window is used to enter the target company’s dimension type values when the dimension types are different between the source and target company. If the source and target companies use the same ledger and exactly the same dimension type and number, the Intercompany dimensions window is not used.
Dimension types that are different between the source and target company ledger must be entered using the Intercompany dimensions window.
An error may occur if the dimension types are set to be required for the analytical ledger and the source company does not include that analytical ledger, but the target company does.
Up to 20 dimension types can be displayed in the Intercompany dimensions window.
