Diane,
I agree with Roy re: the use of vendors and creditors for intercompany (and
intracompany) transactions. This makes it so much easier on your
accountants. And, yes, the A/P payment process (F110) needs to have open
vendor or customer items.
In all of my years of SAP experience, I have not seen a move toward the use
of only G/L accounts (with no customers or vendors) for intercompany
activity. Even with some kind of intercompany netting process in place, the
use of customer and vendor open items and clearing is best practice.
I recommend that you really consider the pros and cons of this change before
you take further action.
