## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard

**Where to look in Business Central:**

> **Reports > Finance > Consolidated Trial Balance** (post-elimination)
> **IC Partner Setup**

**Why may differ:**

| Reason             | Direction | Why                                         |
| ------------------ | --------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Posting timing** | Either    | Both sides of inter-co should post same day |

**Cross-connector reconciliation:**

No commerce-side counterpart.

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Should this be zero?**
At consolidation, yes. Non-zero indicates timing differences or unposted IC entries.

**BC's Intercompany feature?**
BC has built-in IC Partner Setup; the card uses standard IC fields.

**Custom inter-co accounts?**
