Jobs Overrun Entry Date When having jobs set up with overrun handling, overrun is checked on jobs when posting journals on the jobs. In case of an overrun, an overrun entry is posted to the job. The default date for the entry created is current date, in other words, the date that the journal is posted.
In this field you can control the entry date by company for entries generated on jobs where over run handling is set up.
Separate Transaction Numbers This means that separate transaction number series will automatically be created for the current company, regardless of whether a parent company exists or not. If a standard company is specified in the System Information workspace in the Set-Up module, the transaction number series created for the current will correspond to the number series created for the standard company. Note that the number series from the standard company is not reset when transferred to the current company. The company specific number series can be viewed in the Trans. No. Series workspace and the System Numbers and Number Series workspaces in the Set-Up module.
If this field is not marked, a parent company must be specified. When a company does not use separate transaction numbers, the transaction numbers are taken from the company specified in the island Parent Company in this workspace.
This field is marked by default.
Blocked Here you can specify that the company cannot be used for new entries. If the box is checked, you cannot assign the company to new transactions or information cards. However, the company is used if it is assigned to non-posted G/L entries before the box is checked. You can make statistics for a blocked company.

Intercompany Settlement Island

Field Description
Customer In this field, you can specify the number of the customer in the Accounts Receivable system that should represent the current company in connection with intercompany invoicing.
The field is used when intercompany invoicing is run in the Intercompany Invoicing workspace. When another company runs an intercompany invoicing involving intercompany entries for which the current company is responsible, Maconomy creates an invoice assigned to the customer in this field. At the same time, Maconomy creates a vendor invoice in the current company, assigning this vendor invoice to the vendor specified in the field "Vendor No." on the information card of the company running the intercompany invoicing. This way, the company running the intercompany invoicing can bill the current company for internally exchanged goods or services and the invoicing is automatically registered in the relevant companies.
For further information on the use of this field and the exact intercompany invoicing procedure, please see the description of the "Print Invoice" action in the Intercompany Invoicing workspace. See also the description of the field "Vendor" below.
Vendor In this field, you can specify the number of the vendor in the Accounts Payable system that should represent the current company in connection with intercompany invoicing.
This field is used when the current company runs intercompany invoicing in the Intercompany Invoicing workspace. When the current company runs an intercompany invoicing, Maconomy creates a vendor invoice for each responsible company being billed. The vendor on each of these vendor invoices is the vendor in this field. At the same time, Maconomy creates an invoice for each of the companies billed, assigning each invoice to the customer specified in the field "Customer" on the information card of the respective companies. This way, the current company can bill the individual responsible companies for internally exchanged goods or services and the invoicing is automatically registered in the relevant companies.
For further information on the use of this field and the exact intercompany invoicing procedure, please see the description of the "Print Invoice" action in the Intercompany Invoicing workspace, as well as the description of the field "Customer" above.
Parent Budget Company If a parent budget company exists, specify the name and number of that company here. When price-projecting a budget, a journal for each company in the budget model is created. If differences occur when price-projecting, the differences are posted on the difference account specified in the Create Budget Model workspace in the Budget module. If you specify a parent budget company in this field, the difference is posted on that company.
Parent Company If the current company is affiliated with a parent company, the name and number of the parent company are entered in this field. If you specify a parent company, the fiscal year and fiscal year template of the parent company are also used by the current company. If you change the fiscal year template of a parent company, the template is also changed on all subcompanies. You cannot change the fiscal year of a company assigned to a parent company.
If the system parameter "Create intercompany entries for companies with same parent company" is not marked, intercompany entries are never created between the current company and other companies with the same parent company. For more information about this, see the description of the system parameter "Create intercompany entries for companies with same parent company."
Settling Company, Customer In this field, you can enter the name and number of the company to be used as settling company for global customers. The field must be completed. If no settling company is specified on the customer information card, the customer is called a "global customer." In such cases, the company specified in this field on the company information card of the responsible company is used as the customer's settling company. In principle, all companies in the system can be used as settling companies. The responsible company will, for instance, be the company shown in the card part of the General Journal workspace or in the Company island in the Sales Orders workspace as the company that gives rise to a sales order. The responsible company will frequently be derived by the user; it is the company automatically shown in the Company island when a general journal or sales order is created by the user.
Settling Company, Vendor In this field, you can enter the name and number of the company to be used as settling company for global vendors. The field must be completed. If no settling company is specified on the vendor information card, the vendor is called a "global vendor." In such cases, the company specified in this field on the company information card of the responsible company is used as the vendor's settling company. In principle, all companies in the system can be used as settling companies. The responsible company will, for instance, be the company shown in the card part of the General Journal workspace or in the Company island in the Item Purchase Orders workspace as the company that gives rise to an item purchase order.

Dimension Combination Description In this field, you can enter the number of a dimension combination of the type "Dimension Derivation" created in the Dimension Combinations workspace.
If you specify a dimension combination, Maconomy will use the values in this dimension combination when deriving dimensions from the current company. However, any dimension derivation values specified in this island will be used instead of those specified for the same dimensions in the dimension combination. This means that the dimension combination only applies to the dimensions for which no value has been entered on the company information card.
Field Description
Base Currency In this field, you can specify a currency created in the Popup Fields workspace. The base currency is the currency in which the current company wants to register its information and base its reporting throughout the system. This makes it possible to, for example, present tax accounts in the selected currency.
