About multi-company

As part of the monthly reconciliation process, review the Multi-company Reconciliation report and reconcile your intercompany accounts.

An intercompany bank transfer is the recommended method for reconciling these accounts because it makes both sides of the entry for you.

However, if you must pay another company in your organization with a check, you can use an intercompany vendor invoice and an intercompany client receipt to relieve the intercompany accounts.

With this method, both the intercompany vendor invoice and the intercompany client receipt are required to complete the audit trail. Until both are completed, the intercompany accounts are out of balance.


Note:

The following steps describe the underlying processes of intercompany vendor invoices and client receipts. They link to the Entering vendor invoices, Paying vendor invoices , and Entering a client receipt, which provide specific details on how to perform these tasks.

  1. To record that Company 1 owes Company 2 payment, enter a vendor invoice and select Company 2 as the vendor and Company 1 as the company. Be sure to:
    1. Select the Intercompany invoice check box.
    2. Enter the cost amount in the table.
    3. Press the Tab key.
  2. Ajera does this:
  • Accrual accounting: Debits the Intercompany Due To account for Company 1 and credits Accounts Payable

  1. Click Save.

The intercompany accounts are out of balance.

  1. To record that Company 2 received payment from Company 1, enter the client receipt, select Intercompany from the Type field, and enter Company 1 as the client and Company 2 as the receipt company.

The intercompany accounts are now in balance.
