Adding Due-To and Due-From G/L Accounts

Voyager uses due-to and due-from accounts for amounts that one entity owes the other. You need to set up these accounts before you set up intercompany relationships.

In a typical setup, the funding entity processes payables for the funded entity. Such a setup requires a due-from account for the funding entity, and a due-to account for the funded entity. The due-from account is an asset account showing the amount due from the funded account to the funding account. The due-to account is a liability account showing the amount due to the funding account from the funded account.

If the funding entity also processes receivables, there are two ways you can set up the due-to and due-from accounts:

l	Set up a due-from account and a due-to account for each entity, for a total of four accounts, so that one set of accounts shows payables due to the funded account from the funding account, and the other shows receivables due to the funding account from the funded account.

l	Set up one due-from/due-to account for each entity, so that each account shows the net due.

Use separate due-to and due-from accounts for payables and receivables, to provide clearer audit trails.

When creating due-to and due-from accounts, use the following settings:

Due-to Account	Number An account number in the range used for liability accounts Normal Balance Credit Report Type Balance Sheet Cash Account Yes Offset Account The cash account from which checks will be written. If this is the same as the account specified in the Cash field on the Essential Accts tab on the Accounts and Options screen, you can leave this field blank.
Due-from Account	Number An account number in the range used for asset accounts Normal Balance Debit Report Type Balance Sheet Cash Account Yes Offset Account The cash account to which deposits will be made. If this is the same as the account specified in the Cash field on the Essential Accts tab on the Accounts and Options screen, you can leave this field blank.
Combined due-to/from account	Use separate due-to and due-from accounts for payables and receivables. If you choose to use a combined due-to/from account, you can set up the accounts like either a due-to or a due-from account, depending on how you want transactions to appear in reports.
