Dear

we want to move stock from one legal entity to another at the Item's current Cost.

is Inter-Company Trading (AX functionality) meaning creating PO in Legal entity 1 automatically creating an SO in legal entity 2 our only and best solution ?

is there an inter-company inventory journal that will allow us to do the same from 1 legal entity to another or is this not allowed?

regards

Hi Silvano,

For inter-company inventory movements, companies need an invoice.

Even if you are able to find a journal that can handle the item transaction, you have ensure that you can generate an invoice somehow.

For that reason, I would suggest to go with the standard inter-company trading functionality.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Silvano,

I think inter company trading best suits this requirement and is designed to deal with all operational and financial demands of inter company trade.

Also cost and financial implications are taken care at there best.

Each company has its own set of financial set of books so you have to consider both how you will manage the physical quantities and the financial values. If there is no value transfer then one company is losing money and the other is gaining. So auditors and the tax man are likely to ask awkward questions.

There are work-arounds but in general those are less robust and more manual work e.g. you could e.g. free text invoice without a sale order and do stock adjustment in each company, but then there would still be need for payment/ collection, - and there is a risk of typing errors, forgetting to do a transaction, losing traceability etc.

Either they are separate departments within a company, or they are separate companies in which case they should trade with each other -even if at cost.

Dear All,

Can Inventory adjustment be a solution for the above by creating 2 journals for each legal entity, 1 for +qty and 1 for -qty ? you can also add a button to import journal lines from excel
