The Intercompany Billing tab is available in the Project Info Center if you use the Multicompany feature. You use Intercompany Billing to process labor and expense costs between companies when an employee from one company charges time or expenses to a project that belongs to another company.
You specify global intercompany billing options in Intercompany Billing Setup (). You can use this tab to override these global settings for individual projects. For a detailed description of how Vision determines where to get billing rate information, see "Intercompany Billing Rate Settings for Journal Entries" in the Configuration help.
