Bring Efficiency and Automation to your Intercompany Settlement Process

Step 1: Organize

Setting up entities and a netting schedule allows you to create a companywide program. This also helps when acquiring new entities.

Step 2: Compile Data

Decentralized or centralized data entry/file uploads allow process flexibility within the corporation as well as the ability to utilize shared services groups.

Step 3: Net Payments

After all data is entered and reviewed, the system will efficiently net funds between entities. Each entity will pay or receive one net amount in its functional currency.

Step 4: Reconcile

After the final netting step has been completed, upload data into your ERP system to clear account ledgers and automate reconcilement of each period.
