You can only select ledger accounts that are on the account set of the journal header company. When you submit the intercompany journal, Workday processes the intercompany journals for both the header and line companies according to the alternate account set from each company. However, when you view the as-entered journal lines, Workday only displays ledger accounts from the alternate account set of the header company.

The dimensions you can use for alternate account set mappings depend on the dimensions available on the account posting rule of a transaction type. You can map your account set to more dimensions if your account uses multiple account posting rules across different transaction types. However, Workday only uses dimensions applicable to the transaction type when we derive the alternate ledger account.
