Intercompany Billing Special Projects

As part of Intercompany Billing setup, you must create one or more projects for use with Intercompany Billing, and reference them with each organization that will use Intercompany Billing.

Intercompany Billing's Journal entry and labor adjustment transactions use special projects to direct accounting entries to the organization's General Ledger.

Enterprises typically use one of these strategies to create each special project needed:

  • Create a unique project for each organization.
  • Create a unique project with multiple phases or tasks, one for each organization.

To create these new Projects hub records, you need to complete only the required fields. You can also specify a descriptive Project Name, or a name beginning with zzz, for easier identification in lookup lists.

Each project record must have:

  • An organization that matches the company's organization for intercompany postings, as specified in Organizations for Intercompany Postings on the Posting Accounts settings form in Settings > Accounting > Posting Accounts.
  • The Available To option set to Accounting Users on the Overview tab of the Projects form in the Projects hub, for each company for which the project will be used in Intercompany Billing.
  • A Status of Dormant, specified on the summary pane of the Projects form in the Projects hub.
  • A Charge Type, specified on the Accounting tab, matching the type of entry for which the project will be used:
    • If the special project is used to move overhead, its charge type must be Overhead.
    • If the special project is used to move revenue, its charge type must be Regular.
  • A Billing Currency, specified on the Overview tab.
