AGIS concepts

and benefits

Advanced Global Intercompany System

• Transactions between balancing segments can be

defined as either intracompany or intercompany

– Intracompany-Transactions between two or more

balancing segments within a single ledger

– Intercompany -Transactions between two or more

legal entities which are in different ledgers.

Intercompany journals involve balancing segment

values that map to different legal entities.


• Robust intercompany solution that serves as a method

for subsidiaries to exchange intercompany

transactions across ledgers

• Leverages the core building blocks of R12 architecture

in the areas of Legal Entity, Trading Community

Architecture, and workflow integration for processing

• Utilizes workflow processes to route, review, verify,

and approve intercompany transactions to increase

control and visibility


• Interacts with sub ledgers which facilitate invoicing using Receivables and Payables

• Invoices between intercompany trading partners are created accordingly where local statutory compliance requires physical invoices

• Allows institutions to treat intercompany transactions as “arms length” transactions

• Provides interactive reconciliation reporting, which allows you to drill down to the details of intercompany account balances so you can quickly find the source of discrepancies in the balances of each trading partner’s account


• Enhanced Control over Intercompany Setup

– Centralized setup

– Better monitoring and reconciliation

• Minimal manual intervention

– Reduces attention needed by finance staff

– Free resources to work on more value added activities

• Real time visibility

– Visibility across intercompany transactions

– Simplify and accelerate the reconciliation of intercompany entries

• Speed up the close process

– Ensures ability to identify and eliminate intercompany transactions during

consolidation to simplify and speed the close process
