BC Intercompany Transactions + Binary Stream MEM

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6
Hi All, 
 
Hope everyone's doing well. So we have a unique situation where we are using Binary Stream MEM but have to create 3 separate companies as the functional currency for these companies are unique and the way MEM (Global Dim 1 - Legal Entity) operates per company it can have multiple legal entities but 1 currency that needs to be followed. 
 
So we have setup the other companies and then subsequently IC Setup along with IC Partners/IC Dimensions as well. 
 
1. USD Company - Entity X and Z needs to transact for Entity A and B (which uses CAD currency)
2. CAD Company - Entity A and B needs to be able to recieve and process IC Inbox and then Post which sent from USD Company. 
 
The issue originates upon receiving the on the IC Inbox. Steps followed.
1. Create IC General Journal Entry with G/L Expense Account and Legal Entity X (Global Dim 1.) along with Balancing Account as IC Partner Code and subsequently IC Bal. Account No. defined. 
2. IC Outbox from USD Company processes successfully and is sent to CAD Company.
3. IC Inbox in CAD Company even receives it but no DImension assigned to GJ entries which requires an action. Even if I do sleect Create Journal Entries which should land on IC Gen Journal for CAD its not even with me updating the Dimensions manually on the IC Inbox>Details before accepting. 
 
Apologies if I made this too confusing. I am lost for words as to why its not happening. Also followed up with Binary Stream. Appreciate your feedback in this matter. 
 
Thank You

    Maybe this will help guide some troubleshooting.
     
    You're right — this is a complex scenario due to Binary Stream MEM + Multi-Currency + Intercompany (IC). Based on your steps and setup, a few key points stand out:
     
    Possible Root Issues:
     
    1. MEM Legal Entity (Global Dim 1) Not Transferring via IC
    The standard Intercompany functionality in Business Central does not automatically transfer dimensions, especially MEM-specific ones like Legal Entity (Global Dim 1), unless explicitly mapped in the IC Dimension setup for both companies.
     
     
    2. IC Dimensions Must Be Aligned in Both Companies
    In CAD company, make sure that:
     
    The IC Dimension mapping includes the Legal Entity dimension.
     
    The exact same dimension code and dimension value codes exist and are mapped for both Entity A and B.
     
     
     
    3. Create Journal Entry Doesn’t Copy Dimensions
    Even if dimensions are visible in IC Inbox > Details, the Create Journal Entries function won’t apply them to the journal line unless:
     
    The dimension mapping is valid.
     
    The receiving company has the dimension value assigned to the IC partner or the relevant G/L account.
     
     
     
    4. Custom MEM Integration Required for IC?
    Since MEM works per company and assumes one currency, the workaround you’ve implemented (creating multiple companies) breaks MEM’s natural setup. In this case, the dimension data (Legal Entity) may not sync unless Binary Stream’s connector is specifically extended for intercompany IC dimension support.
     
     
     
     
    ---
     
    Recommendations:
     
    Double-check IC Dimension Mappings in both companies and make sure Legal Entity is included.
     
    Ensure dimension values are identical and active in both companies.
     
    If MEM is storing Legal Entity in a custom field, it may not flow through standard IC dimensions — a small customization or Binary Stream connector config might be needed.
     
    Follow up with Binary Stream to confirm if MEM supports IC dimension sync across separate companies — often MEM is designed to function within a single company with multiple entities, not across legal companies.
     
     
    Let me know if you’d like help reviewing how to set up IC Dimensions step-by-step.

    If you are using MEM then why not to have a quick support call with them to discuss the scenario. They have worked really well in using Global Dim 1 and making it use as a entity separator with many customizations from there side but there's still some loopholes which is not achievable via this but from the separate companies in Business central. This was my experience.
