Hello Microsoft-Team, unfortunately Intercompany functionality is somehow limited. Intercompany cannot cope with a configuration on borrowing company side. Possibly configuration is created by constraint based configuration model or maybe manually.
Example from real world customers:
Company A: produces built to order products, let's assume PCs. (lending company)
Subsidiary B: resells product of A in a specific region (borrowing company)
Product: Factory-PC
Configuration: Number: 92635 (16 GB RAM, SSD, 1 TB, green coating, wall mount, heat and dust resistant)
(possible number of configurations: Millions and too many dimensions and dependencies to use color, style, size).
Borrowing company wants to be able to order a certain configuration. Ledining company needs bill of materials (BOM) to produce. Currently this is not possible.
