Why error "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." appears when an Expense is created with an intercompany account payable?

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." appears when creating an Expense with an intercompany account payable because the settings for the journal line, account, and name do not match the requirements for intercompany elimination. To resolve this, you need to ensure that: 1. You are using an advanced intercompany journal entry, not a standard journal entry. 2. The accounts you are using have the "Eliminate Intercompany Transactions" option checked. This can be found in the account setup under List > Accounting. 3. You have entered the "To Subsidiary" to indicate the subsidiary with which the transaction is taking place. For example, if a US subsidiary sells to Canada, the AP account of the US subsidiary must indicate Canada in the "To Subsidiary". If you are trying to post 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, 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. Also, ensure that the customer or vendor you're using is set up for intercompany transactions. Check the "Represents Subsidiary" field on the customer or vendor. If you are trying to transfer balances from one department to another in the Elimination subsidiary manually and encounter this error, you might want to reverse the original journal and book it correctly. It is not possible without great difficulty to force your reclass into the elimination sub.
