INTERCO.PARAMETER file contains the details of whether a

multi-company accounting environment is being used and the
identifying details of the customer account number for each
company.
Only one record (SYSTEM) on this file.
If the record is missing then T24 assumes that a single
company accounting environment exists.
If you require inter-company accounting then you must input
and authorise this record SYSTEM before creating the second
company.
Before this record is authorised for an inter-company
accounting environment the record INTERCO must be present

SETTING UP A MULTI-COMPANY ENVIRONMENT

This Manual covers the steps to be taken in setting up a

multi-company environment from the start.
Same steps can be followed when converting a single
company to a multi-company environment.
Description has been divided into two main sections
Actions to be taken outside T24
Actions to be taken within T24.

15

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN OUTSIDE T24

The following must be decided before setting up multicompany environment

Which digits of the account number are to be used to
identify the company to which the account belongs.
Category code for Inter Company accounts.
Transaction codes for the Inter Company Transactions.
Company group number and sequence number in the
Company key are to be used.
Sub-division code for identifying each company is to be
allocated.

16

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN WITHIN T24

Add the application code MC to the Field Applications for the

existing COMPANY
Run the application CREATE.MASTER.COMP.BATCH.
This will reverse out all the Batch records and create new batch
records for the existing company with the company mnemonic
at the front.

Note:
For the batch process the DATE.CHANGE record will not be
changed to have the mnemonic at the front. This is because
this Process must be run only once and will cater for all
companies in the system at the time.

17

obtained before creating the company record.
