Intercompany Recharges Part 1 – Centrally Posted Journals or Invoices (Quadruple Entry)

Overview

The Intercompany Recharge feature in GATHER.nexus enables centrally managed allocation of costs across multiple entities within a group structure.

This module allows users to post intercompany transactions from a single workflow while automatically generating balanced entries across all participating companies.

GATHER.nexus ensures that every transaction is fully traceable and correctly mirrored across entities using a quadruple entry logic, eliminating manual reconciliation and reducing intercompany complexity.

This feature supports two posting methods:

  1. Journal Entries – for direct ledger postings within GATHER

  2. Invoices – for AR/AP-based intercompany billing across connected accounting systems


Accessing Intercompany Recharge

To begin:

  1. Navigate to Intercompany Control from the main menu

  2. Select Intercompany Recharge

  3. Click Perform to start a new workflow


Step 1: Create Workflow

Enter a workflow name to identify the recharge process.

Example:

  • 2026 Salary Management Recharge

Click Update and Next to continue.


Step 2: Select Companies

Define the entities involved in the recharge.

A. FROM Company

  • This is the originating entity where the cost is incurred

B. TO Companies

  • These are the receiving entities where costs will be allocated

You can:

  • Select a single FROM company

  • Select multiple TO companies in the same workflow

  • Use predefined Groups to bulk select entities

Note: A company cannot be both a FROM and TO entity in the same workflow.

Click Update and Next.


Step 3: Select Transaction Type

Choose how the intercompany recharge will be recorded:

Journal Entries

  • Creates balanced debit and credit entries within GATHER.nexus

  • Updates group-level financial reporting instantly

  • Best for internal recharges without external invoicing requirements

Invoices

  • Generates intercompany AR and AP invoices

  • Syncs with connected accounting systems (e.g. Xero, QuickBooks)

  • Suitable for formal billing or settlement processes

For this guide, select: Journal Entries

Set:

  • Transaction Date

  • Transaction Status = Draft

Click Update and Next.



Step 4: Configure Recharge Type

Select the configuration method:

  • Simple Configuration

Used for straightforward allocations such as fixed cost distributions.

This allows you to define:

  • Debit accounts (FROM Company)

  • Credit accounts (TO Companies)

  • Narrations

  • Tracking categories (optional)

Click Update and Next.


Step 5: Set Recharge Amount

On the left panel:

  1. Click Set up Amount

  2. Select Enter Manually

  3. Input the recharge value

  4. Click Apply


How Quadruple Entry Works

When the recharge is processed, GATHER.nexus automatically creates:

  • A debit entry in the FROM company

  • A credit entry in the FROM company (clearing/offset logic)

  • A debit entry in each TO company

  • A credit entry in each TO company

This ensures that:

  • Both sides of the intercompany relationship are fully balanced

  • Group financials remain aligned in real time

  • No manual reconciliation is required


Workflow Statuses

Each recharge moves through defined statuses:

  • Draft – Initial setup and review phase

  • Posted – Finalised and recorded in the ledger

  • Repost – Used when adjustments are required while maintaining audit history


Processing Options

Once configured, the recharge can be completed in multiple ways:

  • Post individually

  • Post in bulk

  • Schedule recurring recharges (if enabled)


Completion Outcome

Once posted:

  • Intercompany entries are automatically created across all selected entities

  • Group financials are updated in real time

  • Transactions are fully traceable across all companies involved

  • Audit trail is preserved for every movement
