Intercompany trade scenario Internal material delivery

Goods and the related ownership are transferred from one internal financial entity to another internal financial entity. For example, a warehouse transfer in which goods are transferred from one warehouse to another. Both warehouses are defined as entities. In this scenario, the shipping entity incurs costs on behalf of the receiving entity, or invoices the receiving entity.

Business processes

The Internal Material Delivery scenario is used in warehouse transfers.

In this scenario, the originating order is a transfer order. The intercompany trade order is created when the transfer order is created. There is no separate related order. For the intercompany trade order, the Related Business Object field is blank.

The transaction lines are created when the shipments of the outbound order lines of the transfer order are created. At this point, the issuing, or selling, warehouse can invoice the receiving warehouse. In this scenario, on the intercompany trade order the issuing warehouse is the selling organization and the receiving warehouse is the buying organization.

For one shipment from the issuing warehouse, multiple receipts can be generated in the receiving warehouse. Therefore, multiple receipts can exist on a transaction line.

Internal material deliveries involving projects

Intercompany trade is available for internal material deliveries from warehouses to project management offices if these conditions apply:

  • The Support Internal Material Delivery to Project check box is selected in the Intercompany Trade Parameters (tcitr0100m000) session.

  • The warehouses from which the materials are delivered are of types other than project WIP warehouse.

    A project WIP warehouse is a warehouse of type Project for which the Project WIP Warehouse check box is selected in the Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000) session.

  • The entities to which the materials are delivered are projects or project WIP warehouses.

  • An intercompany trade relationship is present between the warehouses and the project management offices of the projects and project WIP warehouses described in the previous conditions.

    This also applies if the intercompany trade relationship is present for the parent enterprise units or financial companies of the relevant warehouses or project management offices.

Multicompany warehouse transfers

For multicompany warehouse transfers, two warehouse transfer orders are created. One in the company of the issuing warehouse, and the other in the company of the receiving warehouse. The transfer order of the issuing warehouse is the originating order of the intercompany trade order and the transfer order for the receiving company is the related order.
