Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure intercompany accounting setup
To meet the requirement of automatically generating balancing journal entries when transactions are posted between entities, you need to configure intercompany accounting setup. This setup defines the rules for automatic balancing entries. Option A (Define intercompany transaction pairs) is used for matching intercompany transactions but does not automatically generate balancing entries. Option B (Use intercompany journal posting) is a manual process, not automatic. Option D (Set up consolidation groups) is for consolidating financial statements, not for automatic balancing. Therefore, Option C is correct.
