Grant Access to Intercompany Accounts Based on Company

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.

Option Description To make the account available globally Select the Available to All Companies option.
