Intra-company transactions are executed using any document category that includes in its lines the entity,

Inventory Items.

This means that among Document categories, the ones adequate for intra-company transactions may be the following: Sales Documents, Purchases Documents, Inventory Documents, Inventory Composition Documents, Production Documents.

The only setting required on a document of the above categories in order for it to function as an intra-company transaction document (too) is to complete parameter <Intra Company transaction> in the design of its type.

 

Sales/purchases document type:

Type of inventory document:

Specifically, the main particularity of intra-company transactions compared to the basic functionality of documents is that document posting produces a pair of transactions per document line and not one transaction per line:

The exact "second" transaction per line to be produced is determined by parameter <Intra-company Transaction> of the document types.

Thus, in essence, a document acquires its property as an "intra company transaction document" if parameter <Intra-company transaction> contains an indication of Inventory transaction code.

 

The "first" transaction per line produced is the standard one defined in parameter <Inventory Transactions> in the Documents Type design job.

Terms "first" and "second" essentially refer to the correlation of the inventory transactions (defined in parameters <Inventory Transactions> and <Intra-company Transactions>) with the indications of Warehouses used in the document during posting.  That is:

1. The (first or "normal") transaction defined in parameter <Inventory Transactions> refers to the 1st Warehouse Area of the document line (which during posting is recommended to be the same with the Warehouse Area in the header of the document).
2. The "second" transaction defined in parameter <Intra-company Transaction> refers to the 2nd Warehouse Area of the document line (which during posting is recommended to be identical with the Warehouse Area 2 shown on page "Delivery transfer" of the Document.  Thus:

- Job parameter = Document typesDocument Line WH
- <Inventory Transaction > =  1st (WH)
- <Intra-company transaction> = 2nd (WH 2)

 

Take into account that during intra-company transaction document posting, if you do not complete Warehouse  2 (WH.2) then the application does not allow posting and displays an error message

In order to receive auto-suggestion for the 2nd WH, you must complete the 2nd WH in the line parameters used by the type.
