Intercompany Matching Report for Acumatica
What is a Intercompany Matching Report?
An Intercompany Matching Report holds immense importance in the month-end close process for multi-company enterprises. It serves as a valuable tool for Group Controllers to identify and reconcile transactions between subsidiaries. This report automatically detects and presents due-to and due-from transactions, allowing controllers to easily compare and pinpoint any discrepancies. Each company’s matching transactions are displayed on the same row, accompanied by a variance column indicating the level of match. Below is an illustrative example of a consolidation report.
Purpose of Intercompany Matching Reports
The primary purpose of Intercompany Matching Reports is to streamline the month-end close process for companies and organizations. These reports play a critical role, especially for businesses with multiple subsidiaries and internal transactions, by significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of the Finance & Accounting Department’s operations.
