Intercompany trade scenario External material delivery purchaseThe ownership of the goods changes from an external supplier (which can be an affiliated company) to an internal financial entity based on an order of another internal financial entity, which is invoiced by the external supplier. Example A multinational organization has a central purchase office that buys materials for its production plants located in various countries. The purchase office buys the materials from external suppliers. The production plants are modeled as separate financial entities. The purchase office charges the production plants internally for the costs it made. To charge the production plants, the central purchase office sends intercompany trade orders to the production plants. The charges can be based on various pricing rules, such as the purchase price paid to the external supplier. On the intercompany trade order, the purchase office is the selling entity and the production plants are the buying entities. Business processes The External Material Delivery Purchase scenario is used for these business processes:
In this scenario, the intercompany trade orders are generated when the originating purchase order lines, purchase schedule lines, or the supplier claim receipt lines are created. The transaction lines are created when the receipt is completed. See Intercompany trade orders Supported price origins
