Intercompany reconciliation with SAP

SAP Intercompany Matching & Reconciliation (ICMR) reduces reconciliation effort and significantly increases flexibility in execution in the General Ledger

Intercompany reconciliation in the general ledger of S/4HANA

Companies that operate internationally or have multiple legal entities regularly face the challenge of reconciling their intercompany data efficiently, transparently, and in an audit-proof manner. Traditional reconciliation is often time-consuming, error-prone, and occurs too late in the closing process.

With SAP Intercompany Matching and Reconciliation (ICMR), SAP offers a modern, automated solution that simplifies these reconciliation processes. It is fully integrated into S/4HANA and enables real-time reconciliation across companies.

Intercompany Matching & Reconciliation (ICMR)

ICMR is the successor to the SAP ERP solution ICR (Intercompany Reconciliation).  The S/4HANA solution is integrated into the S/4HANA core from SAP releases 1908 (cloud) / 1909 (on-premise) onwards and can be used without additional license costs. The application helps companies identify, analyze, and efficiently resolve intercompany differences in real time – without manual Excel lists or media breaks.
