What this article covers: How to use BrizoElim, the AI assistant for intercompany eliminations, in its two modes — Suggest Rules, which proposes recurring auto elimination rules, and Suggest Entries, which detects missing eliminations for a period range and proposes entries to confirm.

BrizoElimAI analyses your subsidiaries's charts of accounts and suggests intercompany elimination rules for account pairs that are likely to match. It only suggests rules not already configured, so you can run it at any time without creating duplicates.

Two Ways to Use BrizoElim

Mode What it does
Suggests recurring auto elimination rules for account pairs that are likely intercompany. Opened from Intercompany → Elimination Rules. Covered in sections 1–5.
Scans a period range for intercompany balances that have not been eliminated yet and proposes period-specific elimination entries for you to confirm or reject. Opened from the elimination entries page. Covered in sections 6–9.

The Set up BrizoElim dialog (shown the first time you open Intercompany → Other Eliminations) recommends one of the two based on your chart of accounts: Auto-elimination rules suits groups with reliable recurring intercompany account pairs; Period-specific entries reviews balances and available source documents for each period.

🛈 Edition: BrizoElim is not included in the Standard edition — both buttons are disabled on Standard subscriptions.

1. Opening BrizoElimAI

Go to Intercompany → Elimination Rules from the left navigation and click Suggest Rules. The BrizoElimAI dialog opens on the Elimination Rules page. The button sits in the toolbar above the rules list.

💡 Tip: The first time you open Intercompany → Other Eliminations, a Set up BrizoElim dialog checks your chart of accounts for recurring intercompany account pairs and asks how BrizoElim should operate. Choose Auto-elimination rules and click Continue to Rule Suggestions to go straight to BrizoElimAI on the Elimination Rules page. Choosing Period-specific entries instead takes you to entry detection on the elimination entries page.

2. Get Suggestions

Click Get Suggestions to start the analysis. BrizoElimAI scans your subsidiaries' charts of accounts and identifies account pairs that are likely intercompany — matched by account name and section similarity. When complete, a results panel shows how many suggestions were found.

If no new rules are detected, all matching account pairs are already covered by existing elimination rules.

3. Review Suggestions

Each suggestion shows the From organisation and account on the left and the To organisation and account on the right. Two badges appear on each suggestion:

Badge What it means
High — exact code and name match. Medium — name similarity. Low — weaker match. Review Low-confidence suggestions carefully before applying.
A rule for this account pair already exists. These are shown for reference and are deselected by default — they will not be added again.

Use the checkboxes to select or deselect individual suggestions. The Select all / Deselect all toggle at the top applies to all suggestions at once.

4. Choose a Method and Type for Each Suggestion

Each suggestion has a Recommended method selector, set to the method BrizoElimAI recommends, an Intercompany Type selector listing the types switched on for your organisation, and an AI reason explaining the recommendation. Change the method or type before adding if needed. The methods are:

Method Description
Use the amount in the From Organisation only
Use the amount in both organisations. Any difference is handled by the residual treatment below and is also listed in Elimination Review.
Use the lowest amount in both organisations (no FX gain/loss entry)
Review and approve before posting — prepares a proposal sent to Elimination Review

See Auto Eliminations for a full description of each method.

Method 2 Residual Treatment

If any suggestion is set to Method 2, an additional section appears at the bottom of the dialog. Select the default residual treatment to apply when the two sides of the elimination do not exactly match:

Treatment What happens to the residual
The difference is posted to the treatment account as a foreign exchange difference.
No treatment account is asked for. The rules are created with the default timing outcome, Review before posting, so a period with a difference waits in Elimination Review until it is approved.
The difference is written off to the treatment account.

For FX and Write off, also select the Treatment account — a profit and loss account from your common chart of accounts. The treatment applies to every Method 2 rule added in this step, and can be changed later by editing the rule on the Elimination Rules page.

5. Apply

Click Confirm & Add to create all selected elimination rules. The rules are added to your Auto Eliminations list immediately and can be edited, reordered, or deleted individually from that page. You can run BrizoElimAI again at any time — it will only suggest rules not already in your configuration.

6. Opening Entry Detection

Entry detection runs on the elimination entries page used when eliminations are posted at Subsidiary level (set in Organisation Detail). Open Intercompany in the left navigation, choose an intercompany type (for example Other Eliminations), and click Find missing eliminations next to + Add entry. The Detect Missing Eliminations dialog opens.

💡 Tip: Choosing Period-specific entries → Continue to Entry Detection in the Set up BrizoElim dialog opens the same dialog.

7. Company Pairs and Detection Settings

Field Description
The From / To company pairs to scan. Add at least one pair — detection will not run without it. Pairs are saved automatically and reused next time.
Actual, Forecast, or Budget.
Differences below this amount are suppressed. Defaults to 0.50.
The range of months to scan.

Click Run Detection. A summary line reports how many company pairs and periods were scanned, how many intercompany accounts were detected, and how many items were suppressed because they were already handled or below materiality.

8. Reviewing Missing Eliminations Found

Results appear in the Missing eliminations found panel, grouped by scanned period, with counts of suggestions, handled items, notes and suppressed items, and the notes themselves (for example a currency gap above materiality that needs FX treatment). Each suggestion shows the company pair and, where available, the names found on invoices or bills that support the match. For each suggestion:

  • Confirm — review or adjust the proposed entry in the inline form (lines, accounts, currencies, and any difference treatment) and click Confirm. The elimination entry is posted and the suggestion is marked Confirmed.
  • Reject — choose a reason (Not intercompany, Already handled, Mapping needs review, or Amount not valid) and click Reject. Nothing is posted.
  • Undo — on a handled suggestion, reverses the Confirmed or Rejected review status so it can be reviewed again.

Use Run again to repeat the scan, or Dismiss to close the results panel.

9. Saving a Detection as an Auto Rule

If a detected relationship recurs every period, click Save as auto rule on the suggestion. The Save as Auto Rule dialog shows the detected relationship and its From / To company and account, and lets you set the Description, Method, Tolerance %, Residual treatment, and the FX or residual treatment account. Click Save Rule; the suggestion is marked as handled and the rule appears under Auto Eliminations.
