How to configure intercompany setup for multiple journals

(2) Share

Posted on by Shreya

Currently we have a requirement to setup Intercompany accounting for the same legal entites for multiple journals (Accounts payable, General journals).

We tried to setup 2 intercompany accounting rules for the same legal entites but system considers it as a duplicate record.

Is there any other way to achieve this?

Hi Shreya,

Can you tell us why you attempt to have two rules instead of one? What is the reason behind it?

Hi,
This is not the standard function of the system. You can explain the reasons for this demand and wait to see if other users have any ideas.
Best Regards,
Hana

Hi Andre,

So the Intercompany transactions would be different for Payroll, General journals and accounts payable.

Hence we want to setup different intercompany posting setup.

For Accounts payable, the debit and credit accounts would be different. For General ledger transactions the debit and credit accounts would be different.

For payroll the debit and credit accounts would be different for intercompany transactions.

Is there any other way, where we can achieve this requirement?

Hi Shreya,

Thanks for your explanation. The primary key can't be overwritten, so you can't extend the application allowing for other combinations. You can try to see if you can extend the coding by looking at another (new custom) table for IC setup, but this could be quite hard as it is at the core of the journal logic.

You can also consider using particular financial dimensions to identify the type difference on the IC account.

Hi Shreya,

Target legal entity journal can be only one , we can not have two or more journals defined.

Hi Shreya,

I provided two options in my previous reply. Are both options (financial dimension and customization) not feasible for you?

we are facing the same difficulties to reconcile the intercompany activity from different types of transactions as well. The old ERP system we use has the feature to setup different intercompany accounts for different module or types of transactions which makes the recon very efficient. I felt like we've been downgraded after switch to D365. It' just one set of intercompany accounts with everything in it. Really hope this feature should be rank as top to developed if there is no workaround solution today.
