Scenario is Company A purchases an item that is set to delivery to that company. At the last minute, that purchase order needs to be delivered to Company B that uses this same item. What is the best process to accommodate this scenario?

Thanks Andre,
Appreciate the response.
The concerning part of this scenario is that while the purchase order is originally for Company A and will be delivered to and owned by Company A, there is a last-minute change to send to Company B.
To expand, the invoice will come to and paid by Company A, but inventory will physically reside at Company B for use. I'm leaning towards intercompany orders, but I'm struggling with the process of changing an existing purchase order that has been communicated to the vendor and carrier already to an intercompany order process. It is almost like a reversed direct delivery if that makes sense.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Hi Trent,
Can you clarify is company A will still be the entity that will receive the invoice from the vendor? Or is the full ownership of the order to be moved to company B? Depending on the exact scenario, you would need to cancel the PO in company A and create a new one in company B (you can consider a customization to automate this process). If company A receives the invoice, you can create an intercompany order between company A and B.
