Hi Community,

I would like to ask suppose Im using Company A as shown in screenshot.

So when i am in company A, I define company B as customer and vendor number in company A.

Visa versa in company B define company A's customer and vendor number in company B.

What if both Company A and B are intercompany of each other? How do I arrange the Customer and vendor for both Sales and Purchases at Intercompany Partner?

Thank you!

Here you can see how the setup should be in company A.

Then you just follow the same method in Company B.

Hi Inge,

What if the Company B is also a purchaser for Company A, and Company A is the Sales and also the Purchaser for Company B?

Does that means I need to create 4 sets of Interpartner?

Company A

Sales -> Purchase

Purchase - > Sales

Company B

Sales -> Purchase

Purchase - > Sales

Thank you!

No, each company needs only one Intercompany partner setup for each partner. So the Intercompany partner setup covers both purchase and sales transaction by using the defined vendor and customer no.

The setup in company B would be like this.

So combined these two partner setups cover both sales and purchase transactions between the two companies independent of what company the transaction is initiated from.

I have one query.

We are setting up the Intercompany in our company. I know all the configurations but, our business users have multiple intercompany customers & vendors that they want to setup all for IC transactions. In the Intercompany setup we can setup only one customer and vendor for each line setup.

Is there any way we can have multiple customers and vendors in the same line for intercompany setup?

You can configure the same company with different customer and vendor accounts as inter company partners.

Either the company name, vendor or customer is part of the primary key of the IC partner table.

It's not working. We can only map one intercompany code with the other company. We can not create multiple customer & vendor in the existing partner.

Correct, you can not do that in an existing partner. So you will have to create several partners pointing to the same company.

One partner for each customer / vendor you want to use. But you can have several partners pointing to the same company.

If we create the multiple partners for the same company it will not allow transaction to the other company because there its only allowed to receive intercompany transaction from one partner.

I am pretty sure i tried that out in a setup a while back and it worked pretty good.

Are you getting some kind of error messages or something?

Are you on the latest version of Business Central ?
