Accounting → Intercompany.

When one company in a group lends to or trades with another, each side needs its own balanced entry, and the group's consolidated accounts must not show the group trading with itself.

**Recording a transfer:** choose the two companies and the amount. IntuBu posts both sides:
- The lender: cash down, **Due from Affiliates** up.
- The borrower: cash up, **Due to Affiliates** up.

Both companies remain individually in balance.

**Eliminations:** the Eliminations screen matches every Due-to against its Due-from and reports what would be removed on consolidation.

**Why they are reported and not posted:** an elimination belongs to the group, not to any legal entity. Posting one into a company's books would misstate that company's own accounts.

**If the two sides stop mirroring** — because one was edited or deleted — the screen says so explicitly rather than quietly netting the difference. A consolidation built on unmatched intercompany balances cannot be trusted, and you should be told.
