Multi Company – Internal Orders #
An internal order is a sales and purchase order combination when a goods are sold between companies of the same group.
Important: internal orders are not used between business unit or between stock locations. These are handled by the Material Transfer screen.
Back to back orders: #
- If the Deliver From Address of a sales order line is in another group company (i.e. it is marked as a stock location in a business unit that is in a different company than the theme of the sales order), the line must also be marked as a Back to back purchase (which automatically creates a PO to the other group company), otherwise order activation is blocked
- Back-to-back orders of manufactured items can be created to other group companies, but not to external suppliers
