Hello,
I have a case concerning semi intercompany way of working.
Company A is the logistical company. Here all the products are produced, prognosis of customers are being used for planning. From Company A orders are confirmed and shipped. Company A has its own Customers and invoices also its own Customers.
Company B is a Subsidiary of Company A. The Customers of Company B orders are confirmed, produced and shipped by Company A. Company B never has goods on stock.
So ideally you would want give in the orders from customers of Company B right in Company A. Then availability can be checked, prognosis can be used for MRP, packaging infromation is at the right place for shippping. For that the pricelists of the Customers of Comapny B should be made available in Company A. Company A invoices Company B for A different price..costprice+ standard margin. The shipment note is made out of Company A. The invoice is produced by Company B.
So Company B does nothing logistic..
If you use standard IC in Business Central, changes in orders like prices, delivery dates and quantities aren't synced. Also a lot of extra steps have to be taken. Company A now sees these orders, just like if it were their own orders, it is just another legal entity. So for conformation of sales orders they have to switch from company. When posting shipments and quantities are different than the ordered quantity you have to do the sipment twice (in each company), I believe. And so on... does anyone knows a good and efficiënt way to handle this situation?
Thank you in advance!
