About intercompany transactions

Using the Signature Transaction Entry window, you can create intercompany transactions, which allows you to record transactions in the general ledger for one company that will create transactions in the general ledger of another company.
Consider the following when creating intercompany transactions using this window:

• As with other intercompany transactions, when the transaction is posted in the current company, the GL batch is created in the destination company must then be posted in that company.
• For Service Management, you cannot create labor transactions using the Signature Transaction Entry window.
• For Job Cost, you can create labor transactions but not if you are using labor rates to calculate payroll amounts.
