Intercompany Segments in the Vision Demo

One of the most common questions I get asked is

'Do we need to define an Intercompany segment in our chart of accounts?'

The answer is:

'We do not require an Intercompany Segment, but we still recommend defining one'.

Even if you do not have a great deal of intercompany activity at the moment, it is worth having one defined now as it is difficult to add one later.

Another question I have been asked is

'Can I define the same segment to be my balancing segment (aka Company Code) and my Intercompany segment?'
