Hi I am using the new intercompany facility in Version 4.0. I have set up everything, IC COA, IC Dimensions, IC Partners etc. I have posted transactions not involving dimensions and it worked like a dream. My question is, when you need to post transactions involving dimensions in your company and dimensions in the IC Partner, where do you specify the IC Dimensions for that transaction in the IC General Journal? Please help. Fi
Hi Fiona, you have to link the IC dimensions to company dimensions in standard dimension setup: in Financial Management\Setup\Dimensions\Dimensions in field Map IC Dimension Code in Financial Management\Setup\Dimensions\Dimensions > Dimension\Dimension Values in field Map IC Dimension Value Code Otherwise if you want to insert them manually, you have to do it in the Outbox Transactions pressing Outbox Transactions\Details button you see the IC transaction lines and there you can add the IC dimension
Hi Fiona I have not done anything in this area, but isn’t this handled by the interCompany Postings set-up for Dimensions.
quote:
You use the IC Dimensions window to define how your company’s dimension codes correspond to the dimension codes of your intercompany partners. Intercompany dimensions are the dimensions that you and your partner companies have agreed to use on intercompany transactions.
Hi Elena and Steven, Thanks for your responses. I’ve done all the setting up and I’ve read and re-read the help file. I know that you can do them manually but I cannot seem to be able to do them immediately from the original journal. In the journal, you input the IC accounts which will be mapped to the partner company. That’s fine. But there is nowhere where you can call up the IC Dimensions. Fi
From the original journal you cannot see the IC dimension (well you could customize the lookup form Dimension Value List in order to see from them the Map-to IC Dimension Code and Map-to IC Dimension Value Code). As far as I know in standard version you can only set up IC dimension in the company dimension, then during posting the system transfer to the outbox transaction only the IC dimensions. You can see/manage manually the IC dimension to transmit only in the outbox.
Thanks a lot for your help Fi[:)]
