Internal Sales Process Limitations

The internal sales process is subject to key limitations across currency alignment, item handling, and financial and costing operations.

General limitations

The customer order (CO) and purchase order (PO) must have the same currency for internal sales.
Only the item basic unit of measure is allowed for internal sales.
Item replacement on internal sales is not supported.
The internal sales functionality is only available if you use ASN (Advance Shipment Notice).
Rescheduling of PO when CO is postponed depends on being triggered by a new CO confirmation.
The Internal sales process accepts only these valid categories:
- 00- Normal Item
- 05- Fixed Machine: You must set the Inventory accounting method equal to 1- 'Inv accounting'.
- 07- Repairable Item: The purchase of subcontract and repair orders is not supported in this category when using the Service process and Service fields.

Goods in transit transactions for internal sales CO and PO are not included in the inventory reconciliation list created in 'Inventory Value. Print Reconcil List' (CAS530) or in the inventory valuation list created in 'Inventory Value. Open' (CAS180). Use 'Goods in Transit. Print' (CAS540) for reconciling goods in transit instead.
You cannot use historic actual cost in combination with goods in transit.
Corrective invoicing or credits are not supported for internal sales.
Costing limitations: You cannot transfer a distribution costing model to internal sales, since the internal sales orders are based on PO and CO. Therefore, in the receiving facility, you cannot split the amount of goods based on the costing model.
