I am trying to setup some sample data for Intercompany transactions. I have following questions:

1) In standard practice, is it better to use separate accounts for "Due To" and "Due From" or use combined "Due To/From" Account Number for both?

2) In the Account Maintenance, What should be the "Posting Type", "Typical Balance" and "Category" for Intercompany Accounts - "Due To", "Due From" or "Due To/From" Accounts?

3) What is the standard naming convention for segments for those Accounts? Should I name the accounts -2XXX- similar to AP account?

4) How are the balances in those accounts handled after the intercompany transactions they are posted? Do the Companies enter payments to each other?

Thanks.

Nolan does a heck of a job on this type of functionality, and has online demonstrations and screenshots, which will likely provided better answers to your "standard practices" questions for Intercompany accounting than a protracted post from me.
