Intercompany Notification Guide
Intercompany transactions consist of a number of rules and based on these rules users are guided through to the successful save of intercompany transaction processing.
-
Supply Only means a transport company, Hauler is picking up from the profit centre and simply put if the product is not available it cannot be sold and therefore picked up hence Supply Only is an invalid intercompany transaction. Based on this a Supply and Deliver transaction type is only permitted for intercompany transaction creation. Profit centre STU Quarries can out source product including transport from BCD Quarries. The intercompany purpose and function is to allow easily at a Basic User level the ability to out source product where adhering to customer contract (volume and/or delivery time frame) obligations is a priority.
-
The default product Location within the Pre-Entry, Entry and Exit windows are system set as per the Basic User logged in profit centre (and for Administration Users their Default Profit Centre setting). In using a scale from another profit centre not owning the transaction the Location Code from which the product is being out sourced will never be that of the default Profit Centre, Location Code match (STU Quarries with STU (default) Location Code using a BCD Profit Centre assigned scale).
Intercompany (profit centre) transactions are that of a Supply and Deliver transaction types only offering an ability to source the product from anywhere without communicating to the customer that product has in fact been out sourced.
