How to: Fill In and Post Intercompany Journals
Use intercompany (IC) journals to post transactions with your intercompany partners. When you post an intercompany journal, a corresponding journal is created in your IC outbox that you can transfer to your partner. Your partner can then post the journal in their company, without having to re-enter the data.
To fill in and post an intercompany journal
In the Search box, enter IC General Journal, and then choose the related link.
In the Account Type field, enter either IC Partner, Customer, or Vendor. In the Account No. field, select the IC partner code or the customer or vendor number of the partner that you will send the transaction to.
Note
If you enter a customer or vendor number, it must have an IC partner code assigned to it.
Fill in the fields as you would fill in a regular general journal.
In the IC Partner G/L Acc. No. field, enter the IC general ledger account that the amount will be posted to in your partner's company. This field must be filled in on a line with a bank account or general ledger account in either the Account No. field or the Bal. Account No. field.
After filling in the fields, post the journal.
Now entries have been posted in your company and corresponding entries have been created in your IC outbox for you to send to your partner company.
