Case Study: Sherwin-Williams automates balancing journal entries with Virtual Trader Intercompany Engine

Sherwin-Williams automates multi-ledger journal balancing with Virtual Trader across 32,000 associates

Sherwin-Williams, a global leader in the paint and coatings industry, faced a significant challenge with functional gaps in its R12 implementation. The issue involved handling batches of single journals that encompassed multiple ledgers, which could not be imported directly. Sherwin-Williams selected the Virtual Trader Intercompany Engine to address this and automate the creation of balancing journal entries.

The Virtual Trader solution successfully automated the required balancing entries, addressing the core challenge. Due to its observed flexibility and power, Sherwin-Williams extended the use of the Virtual Trader Intercompany Engine to also handle applications for Treasury and Cash Management, as well as cross-company Fixed Asset disposition and discount allocation on Payables Invoicing.
