	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Intergroup transactions occur only in multicompany structures with more than one financial group company. To set up the financial group companies is not described as a separate step because it is part of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef> master data setup procedure.</Paragraph>
		<ProcedureList><ListTitle>To set up intergroup transactions</ListTitle>
			<ListIntro>To set up intergroup transactions, take the following steps:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Create a transaction type for intergroup transactions. The transaction type must be <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Journal Voucher</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Set up the intercompany ledger accounts in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0508m000" role="session">Chart of Accounts (tfgld0508m000)</GUIRef> session. The ledger account types must be <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.atyp#intercompany" role="enum">Intercompany</GUIRef>. As dimensions are not used during intergroup transactions, the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Dimension Options</GUIRef> of the Intercompany accounts must be <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Not Used</GUIRef>. If the companies of the multicompany structure do not share the Chart of Accounts (tfgld008) table, you must define the ledger accounts and dimensions in each company.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Decide which of the group companies is the base company. In each group company, enter the base company in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0501m000#tfgld003.bcmp" role="formfield">Base Company</GUIRef> field of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld0101s000" role="session">Group Company Parameters (tfgld0101s000)</GUIRef> session. The posting data is stored in the base company unti you run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld2201m000" role="session">Post Intergroup Transactions (tfgld2201m000)</GUIRef> session in the destination company.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld2501m000" role="session">Intergroup Relations (tfgld2501m000)</GUIRef> session, specify for each source company and destination company the ledger accounts to which the intergroup transactions must be posted. The source companies and destination companies must belong to different group companies and must use the same base company. The ledger account types must be <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/domains/gld.atyp#intercompany" role="enum">Intercompany</GUIRef>.</ListItem>

			<ListIntro>To process the intergroup transactions, take the following steps:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Finalize the original transaction in the source company. The transactions in the source company are posted. The posting data of the transactions in the destination company is temporarily stored in the base company.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>To import the intergroup transactions into the destination company, run the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld2201m000" role="session">Post Intergroup Transactions (tfgld2201m000)</GUIRef> session in the destination company. SSA ERP uses the data stored in the base company to create the postings in the destination company.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>In any of the financial companies for which you setup intergroup transactions, you can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld2402m000" role="session">Print Intergroup Interim Transactions (tfgld2402m000)</GUIRef> session to print various selections of the intergroup transaction posting data that is stored temporarily in the base company.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Finalize the transaction batch. You must do this both in the source company and in the destination company.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>In the destination company, use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/gld/tfgld2202m000" role="session">Delete Intergroup Transactions (tfgld2202m000)</GUIRef> session to remove the posting data of the intergroup transactions that have been finalized and completed.</ListItem>
