When initiating an intercompany purchase order from the purchasing entity, once the Send Intercompany Purchase Order action is completed, there is no status field on the PO, such as Intercompany Status, which would let the user know that the Purchase Order has been sent to the Intercompany Vendor. The user has to navigate to the Handled Intercompany Outbox Transactions page to see the status. The idea is to add a status in the PO header. In addition, once the intercompany vendor ships (or ships and invoices) the sales order, there is no notification to the purchasing entity that the sales order has shipped/invoiced. The Handled Intercompany Outbox Transactions page still shows a status of “Sent to IC Partner”. The purchasing company will need to rely on the selling company to email the shipment documents. If the item being purchased is a physical item, the warehouse would then process the purchase order receipt. However, if the item was for services or something non-physical, there is no notification in any of the Intercompany Inboxes to let the purchasing company know that the sales order has been shipped and invoiced by the vendor. There should be an option in the IC Partner setup to allow for email notifications as well as the Intercompany Inbox/Outbox pages.
