What is Inter Entity Transaction?
Inter Entity Transactions facilitate the management of allocations and transfers between entities. Entities equate to segments in General Ledger, and could include branches, divisions, departments, funds, projects, trusts, or multiple companies held within one or across Sage 300 (Accpac) databases.
Inter Entity Transactions will work on all GL transactions regardless of whether they originated from the GL, any subsidiary ledger, a 3rd party module, or an external system that has created GL batches.
