Copy Company Journals Between Companies

You can use this function to copy company journals between different company identities, with the rest of the conditions unchanged.

You can only copy company journals from one company at a time. You can also copy all values with reversed signs. This function may be useful when a structural change has taken place.

Procedure

  1. On the Company menu, click Copy/Company Journals between Companies. The Copy - Company Journals between Companies window opens.
  2. Enter the actuality and period or periods for which you want to copy company journals.
  3. Enter one or more currency types and journal types for which you want to copy company journals.
  4. Enter company codes between which you want to copy company journals. Both companies which you are copying from and to must be of the same type, for example, from a subsidiary to another subsidiary.
  5. Select the relevant option button for which journals to copy:
    • Only Fixed/Reversing Journals: When you copy fixed/reversing journal entries, the numbering of the copied journal entries can change. This can be due to the fact that there are some temporary company journals among the fixed/reversing company journals in the period from which you are copying. If you do not want the numerical order of the company journals to change after copying, select Copy Journals Without Changing the Journal Number using the General 3 tab in the general configuration.
    • All Journals: Select this to copy all company journals, that is, journal types R, F and T.
  6. Select the relevant copy option:
    • Clear Existing Company Journals for Current Selections Before Copying
    • Change Signs for All Copied Values
  7. Click Run. The copying is a simple copying, in which changes cannot be made, which means that existing values are stored in exactly the same way as previously. In terms of intercompany balances, the information about the original company is changed, while the company identities in the Counter Company column will not be changed. In an extreme case this could mean that the company gets itself as a counter company. All selected journal types and all forms will always be copied.
