Grant Access to Intercompany Accounts Based on Company

By default, each account you create is unavailable to any company, including the active company, until you specify access rights for it. You must specify which companies can access each of the intercompany accounts you create.

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.

To specify access to intercompany accounts, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the active company that you want.
  2. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Info Center > Accounts > Chart of Accounts.
  3. Select the intercompany accounts receivable account.

    To find the account, enter the account name or number in the Search field, perform a Quick Find, or click to display the Account lookup.

  4. On the General tab of the Accounts Info Center form, specify which companies, if any, can access the account:
    Option Description
    To make the account available globally Select the Available to All Companies option.
    To make the account available to a set of companies that you specify Click Insert on the Company Access grid and enter rows to specify which companies in the enterprise may use the account.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each of the remaining intercompany accounts:
    • Accounts payable
    • Suspense
    • Labor revenue (if you are using detailed subledgers for intercompany billing)
    • Expense revenue (if you are using detailed subledgers for intercompany billing)
    • Cash-basis suspense (if you are using detailed subledgers for intercompany billing and you are using cash-basis reporting)
    • Direct expense account for foreign employee type labor posting
    • Indirect expense account for foreign employee type labor posting
