Contents

Field	Description
Reclass Intercompany Suspense as Receivable/Payable only	Select this option to move overhead labor 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 of the other options on this tab.
Create Labor Adjustment to transfer Labor to originating Company	Select this option to have Vision create a labor adjustment transferring an employee's overhead labor cost from the target company to the originating company, when Intercompany Billing is run. The labor adjustment clears out the Intercompany Suspense account and reverses the employee's overhead labor cost. 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 Vision 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. Vision posts the journal entry to the following: The credit account specified for the employee company. The debit account specified for the project's company. When you select Create Journal Entry, fields in the Journal Entry Information grid and the Journal Entry Override grid are enabled so you can provide information Vision uses to create the journal entries. This option is enabled only if Reclass Intercompany Suspense as Receivable/Payable only is not selected.
