FAQs for the Create/Delete Intercompany Receivables Screen
This section contains FAQs when creating or deleting intercompany receivables.
We are trying to create the Intercompany Receivable entry for the month, but Costpoint displays a message that there is nothing to create. How can we resolve this?
Check the following:
- Have you set up the "due to" and "due from" accounts on the Manage Organization Structures screen for each top level organization?
- Is the balance sheet level correct on the Manage Organization Structures screen for each top level organization?
- Is the intercompany activity at or below the balance sheet level?
- Are all of the journals with intercompany activity open for the current period?
When I go to the particular intercompany receivable that I am trying to create, Costpoint displays the following message: "There are no postings to eliminate for your screen selections." What does this mean and how can I fix it?
This means that you have already created the Intercompany Receivable entry. Generate the Intercompany Receivable Edit Report. It should display the transactions. If you are not sure that this is correct, delete the transactions and start again.
Costpoint displays a message which says that the status for Journal ICR is not Open for any Subperiod. What does this mean?
This means that the Use Maximum Open Subperiod check box is selected on the Configure General Ledger Settings and that there is no subperiod in the selected Fiscal Year and Period that has an Intercompany Receivables (ICR) journal status of Open.
When the 'Use Maximum Open Subperiod' check box is selected on the Configure General Ledger Settings screen, which subperiod will be used for posting?
The maximum open subperiod will be used for posting.
For example, the Use Maximum Open Subperiod check box is selected on the Configure General Ledger Settings screen and the following data exists:
Journal Code | Fiscal Year | Period | Subperiod | Open Status | Company ID | Subperiod End Date |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ICR | 2010 | 12 | 1 | Y | 1 | 12-03-2010 |
ICR | 2010 | 12 | 2 | N | 1 | 12-10-2010 |
ICR | 2010 | 12 | 3 | N | 1 | 12-17-2010 |
ICR | 2010 | 12 | 4 | Y | 1 | 12-24-2010 |
ICR | 2010 | 12 | 5 | Y | 1 | 12-30-2010 |
ICR | 2010 | 12 | 6 | N | 1 | 12-31-2010 |
The maximum subperiod that Costpoint will use for posting is subperiod 5 with end date 12-30-2010.
