After validation

Once the validation has been completed successfully, you can perform a number of other actions on the document.

These actions include:

• Save as draft. Only the creator can see and edit a draft and it is unavailable to other users in the system.
• Save to create an intercompany invoice. This generates a unique reference number for the document.
• Click Submit to send the intercompany invoice to other users.

Row data in Intercompany Invoices.

Rows can be auto-filled in intercompany invoices with the associated journal posting.

After successful validation, a second row of data has been added which includes the customer number.

Aico can be configured to automatically fill the posting lines required to account for the intercompany transaction.

Once submitted, Aico submits the AR for approval, and also simultaneously creates the AP side of the transaction. Depending on your configured approval process, once approved, both the AR and AP documents will be posted simultaneously. 

Since Aico can control both sides, it will store matchable characteristics such as a reference or assignment field on both the AR and AP documents. This allows you to identify and eliminate the matching process at the end of each month.
