Hi @bldrayi 

we use distribution orders for this case. If you want to request a part from other sites. The process is similar to intercompany process.

Hi @bldrayi 

 

See what I extracted from F1 help.

 

Moving Parts between Locations
Parts can be moved between inventory locations in four different ways. The method to use depends on the situation and the kind of move that should be performed.

Distribution Order
Distribution orders are used for moving parts between sites. The part to be moved must have the same part number on both sites. The demand and supply site can belong to the same company or different companies. Distribution orders cannot be used for moving parts between different databases.

With distribution orders, the moving can be planned and re-planned. A distribution order is seen as a demand on the supply site, and as a supply on the demand site. Usually the planning is done with one of the planning tools (material requirements planning (MRP), master scheduling, or order proposal), but the planning of moves can also be done manually.

 

 

Transport Task
The transport task can be used for moving parts between locations within a site and between sites. The sites can belong to the same company or different companies. The transport task cannot be used for moves between different databases.

A wanted date is not available on a transport task, so it is not possible to plan when a transport task should be performed. The transport task is used for moves that should be executed outside the ordinary reservation, shipment, and receipt processes.

Change Inventory Part Location
The change inventory part location feature can be used for moves between locations within a site and between sites. The sites can belong to the same company or different companies. The change inventory part location feature cannot be used for moves between different databases.

Change inventory part location is used to report the moving of parts, i.e., get the transaction reported into the system. Usually, the move has already been performed without the system support for the execution.

 

Note: I excluded Inter Site PO and CO since you said you need to avoid COGS transactions.

@bldrayi you can use transport task to transfer between sites in different companies. You will then be able to map inter-company AR/AP accounts against M88, M89 posting types.
