Here is an example where the transaction has processed from the Purchasing Company, to the Selling Company, but has not been accepted and processed in the Selling Company.
In the Purchasing Company, the Quote has a Sales Order.
The Sales Order has a Job.
The Job has a Purchase Order for the Selling Company.
The Purchase Order is not linked to an Inter-Company Sales Order.
Go to the Selling Company and check the status of the ICPO.
In the Selling Company, launch Incoming ICPO Suggestions. Enter the PO Number and tab out.
The Purchase Order is ready to be accepted and processed to create the Sales Order for the Purchasing Company.
In this example, the Purchase Order in the Purchasing Company needs to be approved. Ask the Buyer to approve the PO and it will be sent to the Selling Company for processing.
When the Quote exists in the CCO and in CC5, the CCO Quote has its Sales Order and Job, but does not have an ICPO.
Create a PO in the CCO Company.
Create a Job Material PO Line for each space being purchased from CC5.
Approve the PO. Inter-Company processing will create the Incoming ICPO Suggestion in CC5.
