An Inter-Company Example
Say we have 2 Fincos (with GL accounts):
01 Projecting
450 - Plant Costs
902 - InterCo Suspense 02
02 Plant
210 - Plant Recovery
901 - InterCo Suspense 01
Â
The projecting jobs all reside in 01 and the plant in 02.
The following batch of plant issues is entered in a 02 batch, to a 01 job:
Â
With batch list ...
Â
Batch is exported, to Xero in this case.
Â
Now when we look at the batch list, this batch is showing as "InterCo to be generated".
Â
At the end of the month, or more often if required, the intercompany AR and AP Invoices can be generated for selected batches which have an intercompany component.
Â
This creates a "selling" invoice (AR Invoice) in Finco 02 and and a "buying" invoice (AP Invoice) on Finco 01. These go in system batches.
Â
On Finco 02 (Plant)
On Finco 01 (Projecting)
These can then be exported to the financials:

* Intercompany resolves
Â
If it is desired to show the balances of the "loan accounts" in the balance sheets, a manual journal could be entered to a B/S account with the balance of the intercompany debtors and creditors accounts. This is in effect the loan balance.
