Recenty it has been made possible to include the inventory status in the intercompany planning optimization. The problem now however is that the inventory status is not included in the update of the intercompany sales or intercompany purchase order. This means that we can do intercompany planning with an inventory status, but cannot automatically do transactions that keep the inventory status in mind.
In our use case the intercompamy buying party want to buy stock with a specific inventory status. However the status is not updated on the intercompany sales order from the intercompany purchase order (or vice versa). This means that the scenario is still not complete to use inventory status in intercompany transactions.

Good idea. Typically you want keep the same inventory status over different companies, while using the different warehouses. Now you have to update both purchase order and sales order, which will take extra time for the one who needs to update.
