Intercompany receipts and serialnumbers

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by BrutusG 2

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to automatically via intercompany (IC) the receipt of a shipment? The process is as follows:

Company A has an order of Customer X. Via dropshipment an purchase order is generates. 

Company A sends the purchase order with drop shipment to Company B via IC

Company B produces the product with serialnumbers.

Company B sends the products to Customer X.

But the purchase order of Company A still has to be received with the correct serialnumbers and the IC invoice has to be generated on the purchase order in COmpany A.

(How) can I do this in Business Central...?

Thanks in advance!

    Hello BrutusG,

    Thank you for posting on the Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Forum.

    The processing of Intercompany Orders in this scenario is a manual process.  It is treated as an arms-length transaction between the entities, so the Item Tracking has to be validated and entered in the Intercompany Purchase Order Receipt Line for the receiving entity. There is no pass-through of the Serial Number or Lot Number from a Sales Order Shipment to the Purchase Order Lines Item Tracking in the Intercompany Purchase Order.

    It may be a good idea to post as a Product Suggestion if you are interested in writing this up to Product Management because it has been a requested feature in the past. I have seen it submitted in cases a few times over the years, but not often enough for development to introduce the new feature.  It will require getting votes for the feature to help justify the development requirements to enhance the area.

    I hope this helps confirm.

    Best Regards,

    Tom
