Purpose​

Define intercompany AR/AP (due-to / due-from) relationships when the client will have multiple companies in Vista. Skip for single-company.

Prerequisites​

  • Multi-company in scope.
  • GL Chart of Accounts includes the intercompany / due-to / due-from accounts (preferably split per company).
  • GL Company Parameters: Allow intercompany GL journal entries checked when needed.

Vista configuration article​

See the detailed Vista guide:

Setting Up GL Intercompany Accounts

Field meanings and form steps live there. Do not restate them on this page.

Implementation guidance​

  • Only needed for multi-company Vista environments. Mark N/A or hide when single-company.
  • For companies that can charge each other, add the relationships.
  • Each relationship uses the AR and AP companies with their respective AR and AP GL accounts (due-to / due-from / intercompany GLs).
  • Prefer per-company split accounts (for example …01 / …02 / …03), not one shared pair (everything to 11300 and 24500). Separate accounts make balances easier to tie back by company.

Done when​

  • All chargeable company pairs have relationships set.
  • AR/AP company + GL account mappings exist.
  • Per-company split accounts used when following the recommendation (or a deliberate shared-account exception is documented).
