The intercompany trade-order procedureAn intercompany trade order is created from an originating business object such as:
The intercompany trade order is created when the order lines or project lines of the originating business object are created, provided that an intercompany trade relationship with an applicable intercompany trade scenario is defined for the entities related to the originating business object. The application creates an intercompany trade order for each originating business object line. Step 1. Adjust and approve The initial status is Open. You can change the data of the intercompany trade order, such as the pricing data or the tax data. If manual approval is specified for the intercompany trade order, both the selling and the buying part of the order must be approved before transaction lines can be created, cost and revenue transactions can be posted, or, if specified, internal invoices can be created and sent. To approve an individual intercompany trade order, from the appropriate menu of the Intercompany Trade Order (tcitr3600m000) session or the Intercompany Trade Order (tcitr3100s000) session, select:
You can also perform approval by batch using the Buyer Approve Intercompany Trade Orders (tcitr3200m100) and the Seller Approve Intercompany Trade Orders (tcitr3200m000) session. Approval is also supported by a workflow application. Step 2. Approved - ready for further processing When both the buying and the selling organization have manually or automatically approved the intercompany trade order, the transaction lines can be created. The order status changes to Ready for Process. You can still change the pricing data of the intercompany trade order. If you do, the status reverts to Open. In this case, automatic approval is not allowed. If workflow is used and, during the approval process, changes are made to the originating business object that affect the intercompany trade order, the intercompany trade order must be recalled from workflow and resubmitted after the required adjustments have been completed. Step 3. Transaction lines present, posting and invoicing in
progress The status is set to In Process if one or more transaction lines are created for the intercompany trade order. Changes to the intercompany trade order are no longer allowed. Cost and revenue transactions, and, if internal invoicing is specified, internal invoices are posted for the transaction lines. The transaction line status shows the progress of this process. See Intercompany trade transaction lines - procedure. Step 4. Posting and invoicing completed, close and remove
intercompany trade order You can close an intercompany trade order if the cost and revenue transactions and, if specified, the invoice lines of the transaction lines are posted, which is indicated by transaction line status Posted or Invoiced. Intercompany trade orders are closed manually or batchwise using the Close Intercompany Trade Orders (tcitr3200m200) session. The order status is changed to Closed. You can remove closed and cancelled intercompany trade orders in the Remove Intercompany Trade Orders (tcitr3200m300) session. Cancel, delete, or change the intercompany trade
order An originating order or order line can be cancelled or deleted, or the to- entity can be changed, before deliveries are made. These activities can be performed before or after the intercompany trade order is approved, so the status can be Open or Ready for Process. An intercompany trade order receives the Cancelled status if the originating order or order line is:
If the to- entity of the originating order is changed and there is an intercompany trade relationship between the from - entity and the new to- entity, a new intercompany trade order is created that overwrites the old order. Other changes on the originating order, such as the delivery date or the item, are updated on the intercompany trade order. The status is reverted to Open and re-approval is required.
