Hi,
When entering intercompany Journal Entry transactions in GP, there is no total of Debit and Credits appear at the bottom of the window. The difference between the Debits and Credits is also blank. The same is true on the Batch Entry window and when printing the Edit list for Intercompany Jornal Entries.
I understand that based on this link, it says: "In General Ledger, Batch Total Actual amounts for intercompany debits and intercompany credits are not included in the batch total shown on the Batch Entry window and on edit lists and posting journals. The number of journal entries, however, is updated for intercompany transactions."
However, it does NOT say why this unusual behavior. So, my questions are:
1) What is the explanation of this strange (apparently by design) behavior? Although this is an intercompany entry, it still needs to balance and we need to see the total DR and CR as well as any difference. It is essentially the same as any other JE with the exception that GP will add the Due To/Due From. So, again, how to explain this to the end-user?
2) Since non of the "Standard" ways of finding the totals are available, what is the "Alternative" options? Export the entry from Smart List and total it in Excel?
Can someone shed some light on this? Is it somewhat frustrating
Thanks!!!
For alternate ways, possibility of getting totals by customization can be another option.
