Organization for Intercompany Postings

When you track multiple companies in DPS, you must create an intercompany organization to support intercompany billing for labor and expenses.

For intercompany transactions, you typically have an explicit entry and an implicit entry:

• Explicit: One side of the entry, usually an explicit entry, is made to a specific organization of the company being charged. This organization is usually the organization of the project, phase, or task receiving the charge.
• Implicit: The other side of the transaction is typically an automatic, or implicit, entry. This side of the entry is made to an organization of the company that owns the transaction.

In cases where the organization for the implicit entry is the organization of the project, phase, or task being charged, or an organization based on the credit distribution specified in Settings > Organization > Individual, DPS is not able to determine which organization should receive the implicit side of the entry. For this reason, you must create an intercompany organization to support intercompany billing for labor and expenses.
