Hi,

We are having trouble with intercompany orders. The problem is we get an error message saying Inventory dimension Site is mandatory, even though we already specified a Site in Intercompany purchase/sales line. Sites are already configured, Any ideas on what may be causing this issue?

    Hi fgil,

    Can you provide some additional information on your issue e.g. when do you receive the error message (creating IC SO/PO)? Please do also check your intercompany mapping at the IC customer/vendor level and check if this setup is complete and from where AX takes the different values from. All the best, Ludwig

    Hi Ludwig

    Wwe get the error both ways, regardless of what comes first from the purchase order or sales order. Intercompany parameters are all ok.

    This is probably quite late to reply to this question. 
    However, I am putting my response here, just incase someone faces it in future and comes looking for the answer here. The error message is not very helpful, and probably AX should try to make them clearer.
    The error you are getting is probably due to the storage dimensions setup on the customer/ vendor. By default, this is blank, but then AX has made site mandatory. Inorder to resolve this, go to the customer/ vendor card of the respective companies, go to the Sales Order defaults (or Purchase Order defaults) and choose a Site as default from the list.

    Next time you create a Purchase order, the corresponding sales order in the sister company will use this default Site value, and hopefully will not throw this error message.

    Hope this helps.
