Anyone seen this error on a standard journal, not inter-company?
Copy code
Notice
Elimination settings for the journal line, account, and name do not match. To check this line for intercompany elimination, you must check Eliminate Intercompany Transactions on the account record and enter a To Subsidiary on the name record, if used.

you're probably posting a journal to an account that has "eliminate intercompany transactions" checked on account setup, and are specifying an intercompany customer or vendor on the transaction line. If you want to do this, you need to use a different journal custom form (or edit your standard one), with the "eliminate" field available on the transaction line, and the "To subsidiary" field available on the header

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, but the user is using a form with those fields available and is filling them out.
My best guess is that the customer they're trying to use isn't set up for intercompany somehow
j
yeah. Check the "represents subsidiary" field on the customer
k
I'll check that, thanks!
Elimination subs don't seem able to be selected in the Represents Subsidiary field on the customer form
All the non-elimination subs show up
The user is trying to do a regular journal from one account to another on an elimination sub
not between subs
k
elimination sub should not be used for the manual journals…. what is the purpose of this journal, do you know by any chance?
k
They recently rearranged their chart of accounts and need to move funds from an account they won’t be using anymore to an account they’ll be using going forward
k
you do not need to make a journal into the elim sub for that. just use the old sub and new sub, that’s all. Elim sub only plays during period close when it eliminates IC AR and IC AP
