Use this function to define the intercompany relationship between companies associated with intercompany transactions. It provides the ability to define the source and target company account mappings and serves as the basis for the creation of journal entries when a transaction involving multiple companies is posted.

Only companies defined can be selected during an intercompany transaction entry. The intercompany accounts can be a control account or not. If a control account is specified, then a miscellaneous BP must also be specified.  

This function is available only if the INTCO - Intercompany transaction  activity code is active.
