The triggers/errors used on the intercompany general journal page seem to be miscalculated, and I don't know why. it results in some of the least intuitive if not ugliest, journal entries of any part of the system.

Specifically the intercompany page has these two triggers for posting errors --

1. if you have a line with a G/L Account or a Bank Account, it requires the IC Account type & IC Account No. populated regardless of if that line has an "IC Partner" line anywhere.

2. If you have a line with IC Partner selected, it requires a balancing account Type & number (or if IC Partner is in balancing account, the regular account type & number) to be populated, meaning you can't do more traditional journal entries.

It really, really seems like the best use would be to replace the above a single error/trigger on posting that says if an account type or balancing account type is IC Partner, ensure IC Account Type and IC Account No. are populated.

• The receiving company already uses those two data points to generate its corresponding journal entries.
• It would also allow users flexibility to do a traditional journal entry or one-line style allocation at their discretion, and be more in-line with the experience had when posting other kinds of journal entries .
