Using the Standard Intercompany Trigger Accounts Setup:
When a transaction is posted in the source company, the accounts are checked against the Intercompany accounts specified in the Intercompany Accounts Setup window. Intercompany account triggers exist in the NCIC0003.
Once posting has finished in the Source Company, the Dynamics NCIC1004 is checked for Intercompany transactions that originated in this company. For each transaction it finds, a new journal entry is created which may offset the amount from the Trigger Account and also post it in the Source IC Account.
The journals created in the source company are put in a batch called ‘IC_BATCH’. This batch will be posted automatically if the ‘Auto Post Source Company Transactions’ setting has been checked in the Intercompany Setup window (Tools >> Setup >> Financial >> Intercompany Postings >> Intercompany Setup). If the ‘Auto Post Source Company Transactions’ option is not checked, then the batch must be posted manually in the Source Company.
Using the Alternate Intercompany Accounts Setup:
When a transaction is posted in the Source Company, provided all the necessary Destination Company information has been entered on the Source transaction, the data is written directly to the NCIC3006 for use in creating the transactions in the Destination Company. No further processing takes place in the Source Company.
Destination Company Postings
The Destination Company batches will post automatically if the ‘Auto Post Destination Company Transactions’ option is checked in the Intercompany Setup window (Tools >> Setup >> Financial >> Intercompany Postings >> Intercompany Setup).
If the ‘Auto Create Destination Company Transactions’ option is not checked in the setup window, then the Intercompany Import window (Transactions >> Intercompany Postings >> Import Intercompany Transactions) is used to import transactions from the Dynamics NCIC1004 into the Destination Company. The imported transactions are placed in a specified batch and can then be posted manually. The accounts used in the destination company journals will be the Destination Account and Destination IC Account that was setup in the Source Company for either the Trigger or the Alternate Accounts.
If the ‘Auto Post Destination Transaction (SQL) is checked, then the destination batch will auto post into the General Ledger.
