Parent Pays bill for Child. Create Fake Bank at Child Sub, Process payment using that Bank. Create Interco JE to move CREDIT from Child Co Bank to Parent Co Bank
k
Thanks.
I’ll pass it along.
j
lol much shorter and simpler --> clearer explanation than what i was typing. that’s exactly it! thanks @C_Billings
k
The parent pays bill for child thing. Is confusing. as the company that is paying the bill is another subsidiary not the parent company of the sub.
c
Same difference...its just a different sub and as such it will be an intercompany transaction...even the accountants should agree..KPMG agreed when I did it
k
So Parent Sub Pays bill for Sub. Create Fake Bank at Sub, Process payment using that Bank. Create Interco JE to move CREDIT from Sub Co Bank to Parent Sub Co Bank
Any issues if one the sub that is getting the bill paid is USD and the parent sub is GBP?
c
of course
k
i suppose you would have to know the exchange rate that it was paid with?
c
its never easy
is the parent sub is paying in the child subs currency it doesnt matter..you do need to replicate what actually happens though...
k
OMG this is my first dive into OneWorld and i dont much like it lol
c
It gets easier...you will be thinking like a GL accountant in no time...or running away screaming...one of the two
k
1. Sub gets bill in USD. Bill Raised on NS 2. Parent Sub pays with CC in GBP. 3. Payment needs to go on Parent Sub Account.
Er the latter to your previous message.
I tried raising a payment against the supplier with the gbp sub selected but the account to use didnt show up.
c
by raising payment do you mean create a JE? if so check the JE currency...might be filtered
k
No going to supplier and clicking make payment
I added both subs to the supplier.
Don’t worry i am sure it will all come out in the wash.
