Section 81.2, "Processing Intercompany Settlements from Other Environments,"
Section 81.3, "Posting Intercompany Settlements from Other Environments."
After the source company completes its processing of intercompany settlements, it sends the data to the target environments on tape. The target company then needs to receive and process the intercompany settlement data.

Before you can process intercompany settlements that were received from another environment, you must accept the data by running the Initial Receiving Facility program. You can run this batch program in detailed or summary mode, as follows:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Detailed mode | In detailed mode, the Initial Receiving Facility does the following:
See Chapter 82, "Reconcile Intercompany Settlements" for more information about reconciliation. |
| Summary mode | In summary mode, the Initial Receiving Facility does the following:
If you use summary mode and you do not set the processing option to create the Intercompany Reconciliation table, you must run the Reconciliation File Update program as a separate step. |

To process intercompany settlements that you received and accepted from another environment, run the Batch Journal Entry Processing program. This program processes the Journal Entry Transactions - Batch Input table (F0911Z1). It performs the same functions for intercompany settlement data as for journal entries that were received from other external sources.
For example, this program:
Assigns document and batch numbers
Checks for errors and provides an error report
Posts the transactions to the general ledger (if you set the related processing option)
In addition, for intercompany settlement data, this program does the following:
Changes the Cross-Environment Status field (ALTT) to 4
Updates the Intercompany Reconciliation table (if you set the related processing option)
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Reviewing and revising the cross-environment journal entries | You can review the journal entries on the Journal Entry Review form. However, you cannot revise journal entries received from another environment. Someone in the source environment (where the journal entries originated) must make changes and send them to the target environment. |
After you process intercompany settlements from other environments, you must post the resulting journal entries. You can post these batches, which always have a batch type of G, using either of the following methods:
Set the processing option in the Batch Journal Entry Processing program to post as part of that automated process
Run the post program as a separate step after batch processing is complete
For intercompany settlements from other environments, the post program:
Changes the Cross-Environment Status field (ALTT) to 5
Updates the Intercompany Reconciliation table (if you set the related processing option)
Note:
For companies who process multi-currency, intercompany transactions adjusting entries are noted with the value "AM" on the Posting Edit report.
