2 companies

SOLVED
hi, I'm setting up 2 companies and understand that they are separate databases and therefore transactions need to be manual. However, I've read note 11214 and am still unclear. I have a couple of issues, my main company needs top 'loan' my second company a float at business start up, I have stock to transfer and at periods to be decided, I need to recharge utility costs from one to another. I did simplistically think I'm could use one code as 'inter company', but guess its not as easy as that. any help anyone please? thanks neil
