When you create an intercompany sales or purchase line to send as an outgoing transaction, you will enter an account from the IC chart of accounts as a default for which account in your partner's company the amount should be posted to. In the Chart of Accounts window, for accounts that you often use on outgoing IC sales or purchase lines, you can specify a default IC partner general ledger account. For example, for your receivables accounts, you can enter the corresponding payables accounts from the IC chart of accounts.

Note
Repeat the following procedure for each account that you often enter in the Bal. Account No. field on a line in an intercompany journal or document.

To set up default intercompany partner general ledger accounts

  1. In the Search box, enter Chart of Accounts, and then choose the related link.

  2. In the Default IC Partner G/L Acc. No field, enter the IC general ledger account that your partner will post to when you post to the general ledger account on the line.

    Important
    This field is available in the Chart of Accounts window, but it is not shown by default. For more information, see Personalize the User Interface.

Note
When you enter a general ledger account in the Bal. Account No. field on an intercompany line with IC Partner in the Account Type field, the IC Partner G/L Acc. No. field will be automatically filled in.
