Hiya. I am using automated IC eliminations to eliminate PO/SO linked to each other, as per the standard NS process. The journals get made, 2 for AP/AR and Expense/Income. However the SO and PO Invoice/Bill remain open? Are these transactions not meant to be closed, as there is technically no AR/AP balance for them? Thanks

the elimination of NS does not eliminate PO/SO which have no GL impact. Elimination takes care of transactions with a GL Impact (Bill, invoice and intercompany JE). The purpose of elimination is simply to post JE to elimination subsidiaries so that financial reports can be queried at consolidated levels without intercompany transactions. The open status has no link with the elimination carried out or not, but only with regard to a payment

Thanks Mb. So we should process those AR/AP transactions as normal, paying/receiving the money using the standard processes in place? I think I was looking at the consolidated reports when I saw the AP/AR amounts being eliminated

Yes you need to process AR/AP transaction as normal Elimination are used to remove transactions that occur between entities within the same company group during consolidation.

Great, appreciate your help. Thanks!

Note that you can close SO/PO anytime since they are non posting transactions
