Hi,

Sales order improvements regarding intercompany
When it comes to sales orders and intercompany, you could have an item being sourced/produced at several different companies within the group and when deciding from where you should source the item, a good improvement would be to include the intercompany on-hand in the 'Delivery alternatives' view, to see the inventory in each company + site and warehouse. If the user then chooses a specific company and site and warehouse, the intercompany sales order within the supplying company, should be updated with the requested settings.

As of today, you are only able to place the intercompany sales order towards either the site and warehouse added on the default order settings on the item in the supplying company, or the settings added on the customer in the supplying company. This means that someone in the supplying company needs to manually update site and warehouse on the sales order, if the order should be rerouted and sourced from somewhere else then the default settings.

Return order improvements regarding intercompany
When working with intercompany direct delivery return orders, these are only created from a return order when the parameter 'Direct delivery' is set to 'Yes' on the return order header IF the item(-s) och the return order line(-s) have a default vendor set to them in the selling company. If the item could be sourced from several companies, this means that you would first have to change the default vendor on the item before creating the return order, if the item should be sent directly to the company within the group where the item were sourced from. As you see, this could cause some problems and the process itself isn´t really thought-through.

I´m more than happy to supply you with images describing the different scenarios.

Kind regards,
Jonathan
