Understanding Interbranch Order Entry

To enter intercompany orders, verify that you have set the processing options in the P4210 program to use the appropriate pricing method and intercompany order types, and verify that you have specified whether the system creates intercompany invoices in addition to customer invoices.

Processing option combinations can indicate these options:

  • Use the cost markup price, but do not generate an intercompany invoice.

  • Use the cost markup price, and generate an intercompany invoice.

  • Use the interbranch price, but do not generate an intercompany invoice.

  • Use the interbranch price, and generate an intercompany invoice.

You can set up base prices in the F4106 table for interbranch orders based on ship to or sold to information at the supplying branch/plant. The cost markup is a specific price that you set up in the Branch Relationships Master File table (F3403) between the selling and supplying branch/plant. This markup is applied to the inventory cost.

Note: If you generate an intercompany invoice, you must specify the same intercompany document types in the P4210, Print Invoices (R42565), and Sales Update (R42800) programs.
