Intercompany Invoicing Cycle

2.1. Intercompany Invoicing Cycle

When a sales order is entered in an operating unit, and if the shipping warehouse is part of a separate operating unit (may also belong to another SOB), then the goods can be shipped from the said shipping organization and the selling organization generates a customer invoice. Also the system automatically records an intercompany sale between the shipping organization and the selling organization by generating intercompany invoices. This is called Intercompany invoicing.

After entering the order in Selling operating unit, you can pick release and ship confirm the order from Shipping Operating unit. Then the following programs need to be run to ensure necessary Intercompany invoices are created ..

1. Launch the Cost Manager in Inventory > Setup > Transactions > Interface Managers. If it is not active then go to Tools  and Launch Manager. Intercompany Invoices will not be generated unless this manager is active.
2. In Shipping OU run ‘Create Intercompany AR Invoices’. Ensure that the items shipped have a price for ‘Internal Price List’.
3. In Shipping OU run ‘Receivables AutoInvoice Program’
4. In Selling OU run ‘Create Intercompany AP Invoices’. Ensure that the conversion rates between the functional currencies of above SOBs exist for the current date and GL period is open in both OUs.
5. In selling OU run ‘Expense Report Import’ (Payables)
