Intercompany Eliminations · Track 5 · Tutorial 9 of 9

Use Other Eliminations

Most intercompany items have a type of their own. For the rest there are two: Other Income / Expenses for income and costs that fit nowhere else, and Other Eliminations, which is always on and takes any account. Use them for what they are for, so each item stays easy to find.

You will needThe accounts mapped, as in the Set up intercompany track.

By the endCompany A’s software recharge to Company C eliminated under Other Income / Expenses, and a clear rule for when to use Other Eliminations.

1Choose the right type first

The item	Type
A balance one company owes another	Trade Receivables / Payables, or Intercompany Loans for a loan
Goods or services sold	Sales / Purchases / Services
Management fees, shared services, royalties	Management Charges, or a type of your own that works like it
A dividend	Dividends
Rent or a lease	Rental / Lease Adjustments
Other income and costs, such as recharges, commissions or guarantee fees	Other Income / Expenses
Anything that fits none of these	Other Eliminations

The type decides where an item is listed and which accounts its lines accept, not how much is eliminated. A specific type keeps the item where your team will look for it.

2Eliminate a recharge under Other Income / Expenses

Company A pays a software subscription for the whole group and recharges Company C its share: SGD 1,720 in Company A’s 4800 Recharge Income - Company C, and GBP 1,000 in Company C’s 6600 IT Costs - Company A.

Company A’s SGD 1,720 recharge income from Company C eliminated against Company C’s GBP 1,000 IT costs — Recharge income debited, the cost credited.

Switch on Other Income / Expenses, as in Switch on and add intercompany types. It is off in a new group.
Open Intercompany → Other Income / Expenses, choose Oct-2026, and click + Add entry.
Debit Company A’s 4800, SGD 1,720.00. Credit Company C’s 6600, GBP 1,000.00 at 1.7200. Click Confirm.

Under Other Income / Expenses, an entry’s lines can use Other Income, Other Expense, Interest Income, Interest Expense, Revenue and Expense accounts. A recharge that recurs on dedicated accounts can be cleared by a rule.

3Use Other Eliminations for the rest

Other Eliminations is always on and has no switch. Its entries can use any account, so it takes items the other types can’t — for example an entry that clears a balance and a cost together, or accounts no type accepts. Write a description that says what the item is: the type itself says nothing about it.

BrizoElim’s detection opens from Other Eliminations, and a suggested rule whose accounts point to a type that is switched off is filed under Other Eliminations too.

Check

On Month End Status for October, under Eliminations by data type, each item is counted under the type you would look for it under, and Other Eliminations holds only items that fit nowhere else.
