Post Intercompany Receivables

What can I do in this screen?

Use this screen to print Intercompany Receivable journal entries and post them to the General Ledger. The Intercompany Receivable tables provide detailed support by Intercompany Receivable number for transactions supporting the Intercompany Receivable journal entries.

Because you should print and retain Intercompany Receivable journal entries as part of the system audit trail, you cannot post Intercompany Receivable journal entries without first printing the journal.

You can, however, print the Journal without posting, so it can be reviewed and corrected. When posting, you must first print the journal during the same session. Your posting selection criteria must be consistent with the selections you made to print the Journal. If you exit the screen, or if your selections change, you will need to reprint the Journal, using the new criteria, before you can post.

When should I use this screen?

You can print Intercompany Receivable journal entries and post them to the General Ledger any number of times during the accounting period, but you must always print and post them at the end of each accounting period, unless no entries were created.

You should create and post Intercompany Receivable journal entries before printing any financial statements grouped by organization.

Field Descriptions

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID.  A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters.  Once you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.  

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency.  Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process.  If you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters will automatically display as selection defaults.  You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Parameter ID *

Enter, or use Query to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters.  You should choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made in the screen, such as “PERIOD” or “QUARTERLY.”  

When you save your record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to produce reports and run processes more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections.  Once the default selections display in the screen, you can override the defaults as necessary.

Parameter Description *
