Intercompany Account Mapping

(4) ShareShare

Posted on by Sneha Mani 320
Dear Members,

I have a requirement where each company has its own unique Chart of Accounts (COA). I have developed an intercompany Chart of Accounts that consolidates all the companies' COAs. However, I do not have a mapping for the intercompany COA. While creating a transaction, I selected the general ledger (G/L) account in the source company and the correct G/L account in the destination company, but I was unable to retrieve the G/L account in the destination company. For instance, I have five entities: Company A, B, C, D, and E, each with a distinct COA. I have merged the COAs of all five entities to create an Intercompany COA without any mapping. I recorded an expense entry in Company A, intending to hit account 8130 in Company B, but I do not see the 8130 account in Company B while the trasaction is created(Please find the attached screenshot below) Also, please assist me in figuring out how to have the 8130 account appear in Company B, given that each company has its own unique COA. Alternatively, please advise me on how to map the COA when we have unique COAs across all five companies.Kindly help me to resolve this.

 
Thanks in Advance,
Sneha

    Hello,
     
     
    Basically, you need to create a bridging G/L Account on your Intercompany COA to map to Company B 8130.
     
    Intercompany COA should be similar across all IC Partners.

    Intercompany Account Mapping
    Hello,

    In a multi-company setup in Dynamics 365 Business Central, where each company has its own unique Chart of Accounts (COA), intercompany transactions require a proper mapping of G/L accounts between companies.

    Since you created a consolidated intercompany COA but did not define mappings for it, the issue arises because the system cannot translate the G/L account from the source company (e.g., Company A) to the correct G/L account in the destination company (e.g., Company B).

    As a result, while creating an intercompany transaction, the destination G/L account (such as 8130 in Company B) does not appear.
    To resolve this, you need to set up the Intercompany Chart of Accounts in each company.

    This involves assigning an Intercompany Account No. (such as IC-8130) and mapping it to the correct local G/L account in each company—for example, mapping IC-8130 to 6000 in Company A and 8130 in Company B.

    Additionally, ensure that the Intercompany Partner Setup is properly configured to allow transactions between the companies and that the G/L accounts involved are marked to allow intercompany postings. Once this mapping is in place, Business Central will be able to automatically identify and apply the correct destination G/L account during intercompany postings.

    Hope this will help you to resolve this!

    Regards,
    Mansi Soni
