Inter-company review point

Learn how Xenett automatically analyzes, matches, and reconciles inter-company balances.

Updated over a month ago

Overview

Xenett automates inter-company reconciliation by identifying balance differences between related companies, highlighting the exact periods and transactions causing those differences, and helping you efficiently review and resolve them. This eliminates manual, time‑consuming inter-company analysis.


Prerequisites

Before using inter-company reconciliation, ensure:

  • Both companies are connected in Xenett

  • An Inter-company task exists in your close/project.


Steps

Step 1: Add a task for Inter-company, if not already there

  1. Click New (Top Right)

  2. Select Task

  3. Choose Inter-company Review Point

  4. Save the task

This enables Xenett’s inter-company reconciliation workflow.


Step 2: Create an Inter-company Relationship

Xenett must know which accounts represent inter-company balances.

  1. Open the Inter-company task

  2. Click Create Relation

  3. Select the Source Company (the company you are currently logged into)

  4. Choose the relevant Inter-company Account for that company

  5. Select the Related Company

  6. Choose the corresponding Inter-company Account in that company

  7. Save the relationship

You can create multiple relationships if you manage multiple inter-company accounts.


Step 3: Review Inter-company Balances

Once the relationship is created, Xenett:

  • Pulls balances for both companies

  • Displays the balance difference (if any)

Click the difference amount to investigate further.


Step 4: Monthly Difference Analysis

To simplify analysis, Xenett:

  • Reviews the last 12 months of transactions

  • Calculates net activity (debits minus credits) per month for both companies

  • Highlights months where differences exist

This helps you quickly identify problem months instead of reviewing thousands of transactions.


Step 5: Transaction‑Level Drill‑Down

When you click a problematic month:

  • Xenett drills down to transaction details

  • Automatically matches identical transactions across companies

  • Displays only unmatched transactions for review

This ensures you focus only on transactions causing the imbalance.


Step 6: Manual Transaction Matching

If transactions differ in structure (for example, one transaction equals multiple transactions in the other company):

  1. Select the related transactions from both companies

  2. Click Match

Matched transactions move out of the mismatch list, leaving only unresolved items.

This is especially useful when dealing with large volumes of transactions.


Important Notes & Limitations

  • Xenett does not create or post accounting entries

  • After identifying differences, you must:

    • Verify whether transactions are recorded correctly

    • Post missing or correcting entries directly in the relevant accounting system

Xenett’s role is to identify and surface differences, not to fix them.


Additional Controls

  • Refresh Button: Pulls the latest data if changes were made in connected accounting systems

  • Delete Relationship: Remove an inter-company relationship if no longer needed

  • Balance Sheet Review Findings: Inter-company differences are visible directly from balance sheet review findings

Clicking a finding opens the same detailed reconciliation view.
