Intercompany journal entry

Entry must be a valid site and the user must have security rights to the site.

This field can be used to display the company linked to the selected processing code.

Enter the date for the intercompany journal. This date is used as the accounting date during the journal creation.

Enter the journal code for the journal transaction that will be generated in Intercompany journal creation.

 Journal codes can apply to a specific company, a specific site, or a specific group. This information is defined when the journal code is created but the selection window for this field (using the selection tool) does not take this into account. These controls are applied when you select or confirm the journal code. You can amend the journal code if an error message warns that it is invalid.

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.

• A financial site belonging to another company can be selected.
• A target company must be mapped to the source company.
  

This field displays the company associated to the target site/site of the line.

Only one journal type can be assigned for each company. If the line company is also used on subsequent lines in the document, this value is displayed.

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.
This field is disabled if the main general ledger is equal to the main analytical ledger. Accounts linked to exceptional account classes cannot be selected. 

Enter the analytical control/collective account to be posted. The target account will automatically appear when a control/collective is entered.

On analytical inquiry, this field determines the non-financial unit linked to the displayed account.
The non-financial unit is determined when setting up an account associated with a given value.
This unit is called upon entry.

Because of the analytical nature of a line, you have to enter a quantity expressed in the indicated non-financial unit.
The default value of this field is calculated based on the amount of the entry line and the "Unit value" line of the analytical account, by dividing the ex-tax amount (converted into devise commune) by the value of the non-financial unit. The quantity can be modified.

 This information can be processed on the analytical and budgetary reports and be useful for the automatic calculation of the analytical allocations.

Defined here are the allocation methods for the line amount on the different dimensions of each dimension type.

These methods are defined as follows:

• the entry of an analytical allocation key previously configured,
   See the documentation on Allocation keys for further information.
• in amount. It is then possible to allocate the amount to as many sub-amounts as required,
• in percentage. A calculation is performed based on the sum of the coefficients used for the allocation.

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 %.
For these two later cases, it is possible to pre-initialize the allocation with an already existing key. The final display will be "$".

Indicate in this field the dimensions that should be assigned to the posting line.
The entry of this field:

• can be mandatory for a dimension type. (see the company record setup)
• is controlled according to the setup of the prohibited account-dimension and dimension-dimension codes.

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).

Total of the debit lines which compose the posting lines.

Total of the credit lines which compose the posting lines.

This field displays the main or the analytical account as well as its description.

This field displays the total sum of debits and credits.
