Intercompany items mapping

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 48

Hello,

 

Is it possible to use an Intercompany functionality in Business Central when the two companies involved do not have the same item codes? If yes, what is the best approach to map or link items between companies that use different codifications?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    Yes, it is possible to use Intercompany functionality in Business Central even if the companies don’t share the same item codes.

    Hi Maryem, 
     
    Just to further explain:- 
     
    For Intercompany item mapping, the recommended options as per my understanding:
    Common Item No. on the Item Card (shared code across companies), or
    Example using Common Item No.:
    Company A: ITEM-100 (Common Item No. = C-100)
    Company B: PROD-500 (Common Item No. = C-100)
    → When Company A sends an IC Sales Order, Company B’s IC Purchase Order matches via C-100.
     
    Mark it as "Verified" if it helps.

    Hi Maryem, 
     
    Just to summarise all options, when dealing with intercompany item nos.
     
    Same No (code field on the item card)- If both Intercompany Partners are using the same item no, no setup required.
     
    Common Item No (field on the item card) - If the intercompany is not using the same item number, the common item number field can be filled in.
     
    Vendor Item No - (replenishment tab on the item card > Vendor No = select Intercompany Partner No > Vendor Item No = Add Intercompany Parner Item No
    - Similar to the common item no. Enter the number the intercompany vendor uses for this item. This is limited to one only, if more than one vendor, use item references.
    - Can be used on the requisition worksheet
    Item References (item card>related>item>item references > select customer/vendor as appropriate > select Intercompany Partner No > Add Intercompany Parner Item No)
    - Used when there are multiple intercompany partners have their own item numbers.


    Regards,
