I have created an intercompany purchase order which has create the sales order in my receiving company.
I have then posted the sales order with ship/invoice
This has then created an purchase invoice in my originating company rather that received than matched the invoice off against the original purchase order.
Has anyone any suggestions on what I may have done wrong. I am doing this in Business Central.
Thanks
Glen,
You would first manually Receive the Purchase Order. Then when the Intercompany Purchase Invoice is inserted, I would go to the Purchase Line, click Function/Get Receipt Lines to bring the PO Lines received into the document. This links the PO to PI. You can update the information as needed and then post. Make sure the Get matches with lines that came from the original PI or update them as well.
After you post, the PO will be closed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
I am getting the purchase invoice coming through as per your option 2.
Is there a way of automatically applying the purchase invoice against the purchase order?
I am currently deleting the purchase invoice and then posting the purchase order Ship/invoice. I am assuming there is a better way?
Thanks
Glen,
What you have noted is the standard process of Intercompany SO/PO in NAV. In fact, in BC its the same. Summary:
There are two types of intercompany: First is direct delivery, means the producing company delivers physically directly to the end customer, but in the system it’s company 1 -> company 2 -> end customer. This means, the goods are physically never in the warehouse of company 2. That's why the product receipt of the PO (company 2) and the delivery of the SO (company 2) can be posted automatically (drop shipment).
Type 2 is intercompany without direct delivery. In this case, company 1 sends the goods to company 2 and company 2 of course has to check manually which goods they received. Otherwise it could happen that your inventory does not match with your system anymore.
Typically the information sent through IC is the invoice, which creates a Purchase Invoice. The invoice would then be applied against the originating Purchase Order. The Purchase Order does not get received simply because the shipment happens. The system is assuming there is transit time, and that the receipt will be posted sometime after the shipment occurs.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
