Barter is the one-on-one exchange of a product or service with another country, vendor or person. This is distinguished as a one-on-one trading system. In organized barter or trading companies, one trades their product or service for trade credits (a form of currency within that specific community) and can then withdraw product or service from the pool of available products and services that the community offers. Often, there are trade brokers that assist in finding what you are wanting, and salespeople that will enroll vendors that offer what you seek.
Trade organizations are preferred over one-on-one bartering, especially if there is a service balance due. E.g., more often than not, those that trade a computer for oil changes may find the oil change facility is out of business before the services are completed and the value of the computer was never received in full. There are a few trade organizations that are public companies; the best known and largest in North America is ITEX.
It is estimated that 75% of the Fortune 500 Companies have divisions that trade in one form or another.

What are monetary transactions?
Most transactions recorded by the system are monetary transactions, where the units involved make or receive payments, or incur liabilities or receive assets denominated in units of currency. Transactions that do not involve the exchange of cash, or assets or liabilities denominated in units of currency, are non-monetary transactions. Intra-unit transactions are normally non-monetary transactions. Non-monetary transactions involving more than one institutional unit occur among transactions in products (barter of products), distributive transactions (remuneration in kind, transfers in kind, etc.) and other transactions (barter of non-produced non-financial assets). The system records all transactions in monetary terms. The values to be recorded for non-monetary transactions must therefore be measured indirectly or otherwise estimated. hope this helps?
