Overview
GoldFinch supports intercompany transactions among multiple subsidiaries and automatically tracks the corresponding Due To and Due From balances.
This section demonstrates how to process intercompany transactions between two subsidiaries using:
- Intercompany Sales Orders
- Intercompany Purchase Orders
- Intercompany General Journals
Warehouse Setup
Create a warehouse for each subsidiary and assign it to the appropriate GL Ledger.
This ensures inventory transactions are posted to the correct legal entity.
Note
For information on segregating inventory by subsidiary, see Configure Multi-Currency Overview – GoldFinch Clientcare.
Intercompany Sales Orders
Create a Sales Order using the intercompany customer.
Populate the following fields:
- Sell-to Customer – Intercompany customer
- Warehouse
- GL Ledger
When the Sales Invoice is posted:
- Revenue and inventory entries are posted to the selling subsidiary.
- The customer balance is posted to the configured Due To/Due From GL Account instead of a normal Accounts Receivable account.
Intercompany Purchase Orders
Create a Purchase Order using the intercompany vendor.
Populate the following fields:
- Buy-from Vendor – Intercompany vendor
- Warehouse
- GL Ledger
When the Purchase Invoice is posted:
- Inventory or expense is recorded in the purchasing subsidiary.
- The vendor balance is posted to the configured Due To/Due From GL Account instead of a normal Accounts Payable account.
Intercompany General Journals
General Journals can be used to transfer or reclassify balances between subsidiaries without creating purchasing or sales documents.
For example, an expense initially recorded in Actual-US can be reclassified to Actual-CA.
Journal Entry Setup
Complete the following fields on the General Journal lines.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Is Intercompany | Select True to enable intercompany processing. |
| GL Ledger | Leave blank. The posting process automatically creates entries in the appropriate ledgers. |
| GL Account | Enter the account being reclassified. The offset account should be the appropriate Due To/Due From account for the receiving subsidiary. |
| Transaction GL Ledger | Select the subsidiary's Actual GL Ledger that should receive the transaction. The total debits and credits across all subsidiaries must remain balanced. |
| Customer/Vendor Account | Select the intercompany customer or vendor representing the other subsidiary. |
Posting Results
When the journal is posted, GoldFinch automatically:
- Creates offsetting entries in the participating subsidiaries.
- Updates the corresponding Due To/Due From accounts.
- Maintains balanced intercompany receivable and payable balances.
- Preserves a complete audit trail for consolidation and elimination.
