Intercompany General Journal - necessary fields

I am trying to do just a basic intercompany journal entry and I am struggling to identify what fields need to be filled out, and what can be left blank. Does every line need to be an intercompany account? For example, I am trying to do the following:

Entry in Company A:

Credit bank account in Company A
Debit Expense account in Company A
Debit Expense account in Company B
Debit Expense account in Company C

I am given a message "IC Partner G/L Acc. No. must have a value in Gen. Journal Line" but I don't want an IC Partner G/L Acc. No on the first two lines.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

You'll have to fill in the journal as individual lines in Company A journal as follows

Cr Company A Bank Account, this is your normal bank account and won't require a G/L Account

Dr Company A G/L Account, don't forget the VAT/GST calculations

Dr IC Partner Company B and select an IC G/L Account

Dr IC Partner Company C and select an IC G/L Account

In Company A this will post to the Bank Account and G/L Account for the expense. Also in Company A it will post to the IC Current account and generate IC Outbox transactions

I have found that BC seems to post backwards (from bottom to top) so it may look like it's asking for an IC G/L Account on the first line but it's just the first line that it's posting, not necessarily the first line displayed in the Journal.
