GL25.1 - Intercompany Relationships

Use GL25.1 (Intercompany Relationships) to define and maintain intercompany
relationships. An intercompany relationship identifies the intercompany
payable and receivable accounts used to post balancing transactions from one
company to another. The General Ledger system uses the relationships to create
balancing entries when you release an intercompany journal entry or when a
subsystem intercompany transaction is transferred to the General Ledger
system. You can define multiple relationships by system code. However, a
relationship with a blank system code must exist before defining relationships
with specific system codes.

You must establish intercompany relationships for any company that is used as
an originating company for a journal entry.

If the original entry for a company is a debit entry, the payable account is
used to balance entries. If the original entry for a company is a credit
entry, the receivable account is used to balance entries.

If you send intercompany transactions to a non-Lawson general ledger, the
non-Lawson general ledger must create the balancing entries.

Run GL225 (Intercompany Relationship Listing) to list all intercompany
payable and receivable accounts and the intercompany relationships.
