EXPLANATION AND DISCUSSION OF AGIS

What is AGIS?

Streamlines the intercompany trading and

reconciliation process across ledgers

Allows companies to comply with local
regulations
Allows institutions to treat intercompany
transactions as arms length transactions

What is AGIS?

Allows companies to follow established

corporate standards for processing

intercompany transactions between related
legal entities of an enterprise
Provides interactive reconciliation reporting,
which allows you to drill down to the details of
intercompany account balances so you can
quickly find the source of discrepancies in the
balances of each trading partners account.

Define Inter-Company Accounting

Inter-company accounting allows you to

define the relationship between legal entities

In this example, transactions are only flowing
from Operations to Construction. The only
relationship defined for this session is
therefore Operations to Construction.

ADDITIONAL USES FOR AGIS

AGIS and FSAH

Financial Services Accounting Hub (FSAH) is

designed to be used as a repository for

transactions from disparate systems to be
accounted for in a single accounting system
SubLedger Accounting allows you to design
rules for specific transaction types and
events.

AGIS and FSAH

If youre using FSAH in R12, you can also

use AGIS to apply common intercompany

processing rules across the entire enterprise
Since FSAH is designed to accept
transactions from disparate systems (whether
Oracle, Peoplesoft, SAP, or some 3rd party
legacy), you can use FSAH and AGIS to act
as a hub for ALL intercompany transactions,
and acccount for them in one GL system
