Suppression Options for Intercompany Matching Reports

When you create an Intercompany Matching report, you can suppress several types of intercompany transactions and detail from the report. You can also select these suppression options when you print the report.

Suppressing Matches

When you create an Intercompany Matching report, you can show or suppress matching Entity/Partner transactions. If you select to suppress them, the system suppresses the transactions if the Entity and Partner amounts are within the matching tolerance amount or percentage. For example, if an Entity has an amount of 299 and the Partner has 200, the difference is 99. If the matching tolerance amount is 100 and the difference between the Entity and Partner is less than 100 as in this example, the system suppresses the transactions because it is within the matching tolerance.

If you select not to suppress the Entity/Partner transactions, the system does not suppress them even if the Entity and Partner amounts are within the matching tolerance amount or percentage. Using the previous example, even if the difference amount is 99 and if it is within the matching tolerance, the system does not suppress the transactions. The matching tolerance specified is displayed in units.

Suppressing Reversed Transactions

By default, the system displays the reversed transactions from an Intercompany Partner every time a transaction is displayed for the Entity. You can select to suppress these reversed transactions when you generate a report.

This option is very useful when you have one matching account for the report. For example, you might have a Cash account used to store intercompany transactions for Revenue and Expense. In this case, you must use the Suppress Reversed Transaction option to avoid a double entry because there is only one matching account for the report.

Suppressing Details

If you want to display only the different amount in the report, you can suppress the intercompany details. When you select this option, the report does not display the intercompany transactions and prints only the total difference for each Entity/Partner section. If there is a discrepancy and you need to view each intercompany transaction, you can regenerate the report and show intercompany details.

Suppressing Custom Dimensions

You can select to suppress the columns for any of the Custom dimensions.

Member Display Option

You can display the label, description, or both for the dimension member in the report.

Group By Option

You can group your intercompany partner transactions by Custom dimension. The system sorts the details based on this option and provides a subtotal for the group.
