Intercompany (between 2 companies) transfer starting from a CO to PO only

Hello,

 

I have the following scenario and would like your advice about it:

2 intercompanies involved - Primary and subsidiary company involved in non stock parts.

The primary company created a customer order and generates the purchase order to the subsidiary company.

 

Following several links on IFS, if a company starts from a customer order, the following happens:

3 companies are involved:

1 external CO generates1 Internal Purchase order and 1 Internal CO.

 

For intercompany flow between 2 companies, it starts with the following:

1 internal PO generates 1 internal CO.

 

In my case it involves a transaction between 2 internal companies and it starts from a customer order.

 

Is it feasible ?

 

Thanking you for your feedback.

Hi @BawLakshB,

Sorry but I need additional clarification regarding your comment:

“Following several links on IFS, if a company starts from a customer order, the following happens:

3 companies are involved:

1 external CO generates1 Internal Purchase order and 1 Internal CO.”

In this flow I can only see 2 companies: first company that creates the external CO and internal PO and second company that receives the Internal CO.

 

Then, regarding your question: if the flow with between 2 internal companies, you normally start with the internal PO raised against the internal supplier, that creates and internal CO for the supplying company.

Now, if you need to start the flow with a customer order, this means that you will deliver an article to a customer (either internal or external) that will be provided through an intercompany flow. This is also possible.

Hello,

 

The structure of the company is as follows:

Starts with a customer order from (primary company) and generates a purchase order to the subsidiary company.

 

Can you please confirme if this can be worked out in IFS?

 

Thanking you for your feedback.

Hi,

Yes, this can work in IFS. This is the first flow you refer. Is the first customer order delivering to an external customer, so the delivery is supplied by subsidiary company?.

Hi Lakshmi,

I agree with Pilar in that I don’t completely understand your question, but have you looked at distribution orders to make it simpler from a users perspective?

Hello,

 

Please find below the structure of our client:

  1. First, an internal customer order is created in the primary company.
  2. Secondly an internal purchase order is created in the subsidiary company.

Our client wants to start the interco process with a customer order and then generating a purchase order .

 

I would like to know if this interco process is feasible on IFS?

 

Thanking you.

@BawLakshB yes, the IC flow starting from an external CO is possible.

In this flow you will have:

  1. External CO coming from your customer in Company A
  2. internal PO from Company A to Company B
  3. internal CO in company B

Then the internal CO could be delivered via transit delivery - via Company A, or directly to the end customer (drop-shipping).

I hope this will help you.

Hello,

 

In our case, the client structure does not have an external customer order.

Only an internal customer order and an internal purchase order. The client starts by creating an internal customer order.

 

Can you please  confirm if this is feasible for an interco process ?

 

Thanking you.
