Grant Access to Intercompany Accounts Based on Company

By default, each account you create is unavailable to any company, including the active company, until you specify access rights for it. You must specify which companies can access each of the intercompany accounts you create.

Warning: Use care when you determine which companies can access the intercompany accounts that you create. When another company processes a transaction involving one of these accounts, it is not possible for you to revoke access.

To specify access to intercompany accounts:

1. Select the active company.
2. On the Navigation menu, click Settings > Accounting > Chart of Accounts in the desktop application.
3. Select the intercompany accounts receivable account.
4. On the General tab of the Accounts form, specify which companies, if any, can access the account:

   Option	Description
   To make the account available globally	Select the Available to All Companies option.
   To make the account available to a set of companies that you specify	Click Insert on the Company Access grid and enter rows to specify which companies in the enterprise may use the account.

5. Click Save.
6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each of the remaining intercompany accounts:
   • Accounts payable
   • Suspense
   • Labor revenue (if you are using detailed subledgers for intercompany billing)
   • Expense revenue (if you are using detailed subledgers for intercompany billing)
   • Cash-basis suspense (if you are using detailed subledgers for intercompany billing and you are using cash-basis reporting)
   • Direct expense account for foreign employee type labor posting
   • Indirect expense account for foreign employee type labor posting
