Intercompany Invoices

The system processes intercompany sales orders in the same way as other sales orders except during invoice processing, the system prints an intercompany invoice for the selling branch/plant.

You must set the interbranch processing options for intercompany orders in the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) to identify the intercompany document type, which creates a sales order detail record in the Sales Order Detail File - Tag File table (F49211). After you process the intercompany order through the R42565 program, the system updates the F49211 table with the intercompany invoice number.

You can print intercompany invoices through the normal invoice process in the R42565 program or the Cycle Billing program (R49700). However, you cannot print an intercompany invoice with customer invoices. You can print consolidated invoices for intercompany invoices; however, you must specify this feature in the customer billing instructions for the selling branch/plant.

If you generate an intercompany invoice, you must specify the same intercompany document types in the Sales Order Entry (P4210), Ship Confirm Batch Application (R42500), Print Invoices (R42565), and Sales Update (R42800) programs.
