Overhead Expense Tab of Intercompany Billing Setup

Use the Overhead Expense tab to specify how to handle overhead expense intercompany transactions.

Contents

Field Description
Reclass Intercompany Suspense as Receivable/Payable only

Select this option to move overhead expense amounts from a company's Intercompany Suspense account to its Intercompany Accounts Payable or Intercompany Accounts Receivable account, when Intercompany Billing is run.

  • Selecting this option disables the other two options on this tab.

  • If you leave this option cleared, you must select at least one other option on this tab.

Transfer cost to originating Company

Select this option to have DPS transfer the overhead expense from the target company to the originating company when Intercompany Billing is run.

The transfer clears out the originating company's Intercompany Suspense account and reverses the target company's overhead expense.

This option is enabled only if Reclass Intercompany Suspense as Receivable/Payable only is not selected.

Create Journal Entry

Select this option if you want DPS to create a journal entry in the amount of the markup when Intercompany Billing is run. The markup is based on the transfer price defined by the applicable Rate Method and Multiplier fields. DPS posts the journal entry to the following:

  • The credit account specified for the company posting the transaction.

  • The debit account specified for the project's company.

This option is enabled only if Reclass Intercompany Suspense as Receivable/Payable only is not selected.
