Microsoft Dynamics AX creates a customer transaction when an intercompany sales order invoice is posted. This customer transaction remains open until it is settled (paid). When the corresponding intercompany purchase order is invoice updated, a vendor transaction matching the customer transaction is created. This vendor transaction also remains open until it is settled (paid). To reduce the risk of discrepancies, an accounts receivable payment journal can be automatically created and posted when the accounts payable payment journal is posted.

To set up the intercompany accounts receivable payments, in the Intercompany action policyform (for sales orders), on the Setuptab, in the Payment journalfield, select the accounts receivable payment journal that you want to register intercompany vendor payments to. You set this up in the Journalform.

If you want to post to this journal automatically, select the Post journal automaticallycheck box.
