Intercompany Invoices are duplicated

Posted on by MP-26111204-0 65
In Business Central we have a problem that when we ship and post an Intercompany Sales Order from Company A, it is setup to automatically post the invoice on the Intercompany Purchase Order in company B. 
 
The invoice is posted in Company B, however when looking in the purchase invoices that same invoice is created. 

When we try to post it, it clearly shows that it is a duplicate. 
 
Does anyone have an idea on why the invoice is duplicated? It is becoming a little messy as all intercompany invoices are duplicated and it is annoying to have to manually cancel the duplicated invoices.

    Hi, Maybe it has something to do with the following settings.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    This issue typically occurs when Intercompany Setup or Inbox Type settings are misconfigured, causing Business Central to both automatically post and create a purchase invoice document for the same transaction in the receiving company.
     
    ✅ Solution:
     
    1. In Company B, go to Intercompany Setup.
     
     
    2. Check if "Auto. Accept Transactions" and "Auto. Post Transactions" are both enabled.
     
     
    3. If auto-posting is enabled, BC will post directly and not require a second manual posting.
     
     
    4. If you're still receiving a purchase invoice, it means your Intercompany Inbox Type may be set to both “Journal” and “Purch. Doc.” — change it to "Journal" only to avoid duplicate document creation.
     
     
     
    Also, check the IC Partner Setup for the sending company to make sure settings are aligned correctly.
