Your organization has heard about SAP Intercompany Matching and Reconciliation (ICMR) and is wondering whether it could address their needs. For which purposes can ICMR be useful? Note: There are 2…

Question

Options

• ATo trigger elimination of intercompany revenues & costs based on rules configured
• BTo generate automatic elimination of intercompany AR/AP balances
• CTo generate automatic posting to correct intercompany discrepancy
• DTo highlight and solve intercompany data discrepancy triggering a workflow

• A
  14% (6)
• B
  11% (5)
• C
  75% (33)

Explanation

SAP ICMR is designed to match, identify, and resolve intercompany discrepancies - not to perform eliminations. C is correct because ICMR can automatically post correcting entries when discrepancies are found between trading partners. D is correct because ICMR's core function is to surface intercompany mismatches and trigger a workflow so the responsible parties can investigate and resolve them.

A and B are wrong for the same reason: automatic elimination of intercompany revenues, costs, AR, and AP balances is the job of a consolidation tool (like SAP Group Reporting), not ICMR. ICMR operates at the entity level to reconcile transactions before consolidation happens - it doesn't perform group-level eliminations.

Memory tip: Think of ICMR as a referee, not an eraser. It spots the problem (D), blows the whistle, and helps fix it (C) - but it doesn't eliminate the balances outright (that's the consolidation engine's job). If an answer choice says "automatic elimination," it belongs to consolidation, not ICMR.
