Hi! We have a parent company in USD and a sub in EUR. The intercompany journal is booked as EUR, example below:
Copy code
EUR ENTITY --
DR IC A/R 100 EUR
   CR IC Revenue 100 EUR

USD ENTITY --
DR IC Expense 100 EUR
   CR IC A/P 100 EUR
Once intercompany eliminates however, there is a balance in Net Income in the elimination subsidiary due to revaluation and translation of the transactions. Is this right?
s
is that balance hitting a Foreign currency variance account?
j
If it hits the CTA-E it should be expected. That is an equity account but sometimes due to report layouts can be in a weird spot
e
Thanks both! Yes, it hits CTA-E. Example elimination entry created below:
Copy code
ELIM ENTITY --
   CR IC Expense 100 EUR
DR IC Revenue 90 EUR
DR CTA-Elim 10 EUR
However sometimes the full Net Income balance doesn't equal CTA-Elim since it looks like other equity accounts eliminating would add to that CTA-Elim balance for the month

You have: EUR Subsidiary • DR IC A/R → 100 EUR • CR IC Revenue → 100 EUR USD Subsidiary • DR IC Expense → 100 EUR (converted to USD) • CR IC A/P → 100 EUR So far, everything is OK.
