What is the Intercompany Reconciliation page for?
Open this screen in Saral/accounts/intercompany-reconciliation
The balances between the group's companies, read from each organisation's cached Balance Sheet and laid out holder by counterparty. A debit in one company should be a credit in the other, so the Difference grid adds each pair together and flags any that does not net to zero — the break to chase. Under the grids the page shows what is usually behind a break: unsettled intercompany invoices, and payments one company's card made for another's supplier. Offsets sets loans off against each other with a board resolution and one journal per company. You enter: Which class to reconcile — Intercompany Loan or Vendor AP / AR — and the as-at date, from the Balance Sheets Saral holds; The account mapping: which loan and related-party GL accounts belong to which counterparty company (Map accounts), the one thing the matrix cannot know by itself; On a break: the pair to investigate, and — for someone who may pay — the unsettled invoices to settle in full, with the settlement account; On Offsets: the balance date, the loans to set off, the journal date, posted or draft, and the chairman and signatories for each company's resolution. Saral fills: The Balance matrix (holder × counterparty) and the Difference matrix, with a legend that says how to read each sign; The list of unreconciled pairs with the amount, how many unpaid invoices and card payments sit behind it, and whether an account is missing from the mapping; The unsettled intercompany invoices — the same live list as Recharge → Intercompany Payments — and the card or bank payments made for a sibling's supplier that the sibling never recorded; On Offsets: which loans can be set off, the journals each company would post, and the resolution wording — recomputed from the balances at posting and refused if they moved. It produces: The reconciliation as a PDF, an Excel with formulas, or an email; Settlement payments applied in full to intercompany invoices (through Recharge's pay route), and set-off journals and board resolutions filed and posted together from Offsets. Where the settings live: The account mapping is edited only here, through Map accounts. The intercompany GL accounts each company posts recharges to, and the recharge rules that create intercompany invoices, are on Recharge → Settings. Which GL accounts are excluded from consolidated totals, and whether intercompany balances are eliminated on the consolidated balance sheet, are on Accounts → Settings → GL Exclusions. Directors and signatories for an offset resolution come from Accounts → Company Structure.
