Scenario
Create Advanced Intercompany Journal Entry > error: "The subsidiary selected for To Subsidiary on the journal entry and Representing Subsidiary of Intercompany Vendor/Customer must match if you want to run Intercompany Elimination for this line."
Solution
- When users createIntercompany Customers or Vendors, aside from their respective Subsidiaries they would also need to associate those entities with the Subsidiary they are representing
- When users generate Intercompany Transactions via Transactions > Financials > Make Intercompany Journal Entries, they are required to select a Subsidiaryand aRepresent Subsidiary. Those indicate the subsidiaries involved in the exchange. Then, on each line users need to enter the Subsidiary,Accountand if Account is an AR/AP type of Account they would need to select anIntercompany Customer/Vendorassigned to the Subsidiary they have selected
Note:The available list underNameis by default filtered to show Customers/Vendors assigned to the subsidiary they have selected on each line
- To fix the notification, users need to make sure that theRepresent Subsidiaryfound on theIntercompany Customer/Vendoris the same Subsidiary found on theTo Subsidiaryor theSubsidiaryof the Journal Entry. This is because the transaction is only limited to those 2 Subsidiaries
- To illustrate the sample below will result in the error:
- Subsidiary: US Sub
- To Subsidiary: Canada Sub
- Lines:
US Sub | AR xx | Intercompany Customer(Rep Sub= Canada Subsidiary)
US Sub | Sales xx | -
Canada Sub | Expenses xx | -
Canada Sub | AP xx | Intercompany Vendor(Rep Sub= AUS Subsidiary)
