Several company codes are involved in a cross-company code transaction. In
a cross-company code transaction, the system posts a separate document
with its own document number in each of the company codes.
Individual documents are linked by a common cross-company code number.
The system generates line items automatically (receivables and payables
arising between company codes) in order to balance the debits and credits in
each document.
At times one company code makes purchases on behalf of another company
code or makes payment on behalf of another company code. This needs
entries to be passed in both company codes.
If cross company code settings are done, entry in one company code would
generate the entry in the other company code also.
In this example, we have already two company codes 1009 and 1011 in
country USA.

Dear Venkat,
Is there a way to copy an intercompany entry that will copy both sides of the entry not
just the intercompany account.
Example:
Original Entered Data:
Company Code 2004 Account #
Company Code 1300 Account #
Posted Data:
Company Code 2004 Account #
Company Code 2004 Intercompany Account
Company Code1300 Account #
Company Code 1300 Intercompany Account
Copy Intercompany Transaction:
Company Code 2004 Account #
Company Code 1300 Account #
Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you for the informative inter-company document. It covers all aspects except New
G/L. From a CO perspective could you explain the approach that is used to derive the
Profit center for the Invoice Scenario that you described?

The basic concept is that the Profit center used (default from Cost Center) is extended
across both company codes, but what if each company code used independent profit
centers? Is partner profit center used? Substitution, CO derivation? Which is the best
solution? How is this handled?
Many thanks!

Hi,
Very informative.
But, what if the New GL is active?
How do we handle this in CO.
