Transaction lines and related business objects

A transaction line is linked to an intercompany trade order and displays the details of a delivery, service, or other activity performed for the originating business object. The transaction line triggers the creation of the internal cost and revenue transactions, and, if specified, the internal invoice lines.

A transaction line is created when a delivery is made or a service is rendered for the originating business object. In some scenarios, deliveries are created using related business objects, such as warehousing orders or work orders.
