Hello,
I am using Business Central and am testing Intercompany Functionality between my two companies, A and B.
When I create a Sales Order in Company A and use the "Send IC Sales Order" action, Business Central correctly creates a corresponding Purchase Order in Company B.
However, when I invoice my Sales Order in Company A, Business Central creates a Purchase Invoice in Company B even though there is already a Purchase Order in the system for that transaction. So, I now have an open Purchase Order and an open Purchase Invoice in Company B relating to my original Sales Order.
I am confused about why this happens and how best to manage it, because if I receive and post both the Purchase Order and Purchase Invoice I will be duplicating the posting. I need to either receive the PO and delete the PI, or vice versa.
I read a similar post where it was suggested to receive the PO and use the Get Receipt Lines function on the PI to link those lines to that invoice, but this seems like an unreasonably complicated method to deal with these types of transactions, especially for regular end users.
Can anyone explain why both a Purchase Order and a Purchase Invoice are being generated and how I should best manage this?
