Intercompany Transactions

ragrebelo

I'm configurating and testing intercompany transaction.

When I post a transaction (order to a vendor in the same database), I receive an error message: "IC Partner MN not exist as a Customer in current company".

MN is the company that is sending the order.
At the first time I didn’t configure the MN as customer in his company.
Then I configure MN as a costumer, and the same error appear.

If I change the IC Partner Code in the Company Information, the error message appears with this new code.

Could you please help me?

If you are making an Order to a Vendor, I assume that is a purchase Order.
Isn’t supposed to be vendor having a IC Partner Code instead of a customer?

ragrebelo

Yes it is. And the Vendor have the IC Partner Code.

I don't know why it check the customer.

I have made several intercompany purchases to vendors and I can't reproduce your problem.
Can you run debugger and inform in witch codeunit/table appears that message.

CodeUnit 427

I think that message it's from custom development. I'm in NAV 4.0 SP3 in that codeunit and don't have any message of that type.

Can you copy a few line where is the error message is from codeunit.

Here it goes:


GetCompanyInfo;
IF ICOutboxPurchHdr."IC Partner Code" = CompanyInfo."IC Partner Code" THEN
ICPartner.GET(ICInboxTrans."IC Partner Code")
ELSE BEGIN
ICPartner.GET(ICOutboxPurchHdr."IC Partner Code");
ICPartner.TESTFIELD("Inbox Type",ICPartner."Inbox Type"::Database);
ICPartner.TESTFIELD("Inbox Details");
ICPartner.CHANGECOMPANY(ICPartner."Inbox Details");
ICPartner.GET(ICInboxTrans."IC Partner Code");
END;
IF ICPartner."Customer No." = '' THEN
ERROR(Text001,ICPartner.TABLECAPTION,ICPartner.Code,Customer.TABLECAPTION);

I catch the error.

I don’t know why but the IC Partner Code for de MN code doesn’t have the customer number.

Because this field is hide, I did run to the table and insert the code.

Now I can do the IC transaction.

Thanks any way.

I think I found your problem.

When you create a Vendor has a IC Partner and its database transactions. You must create in other company a customer with your current company.

That field isn't hidden, it's in customer card.

i have gotten the same error...one workaround i found to change the IC partner code to the code of the IC partner on the document you are sending, eg, if you're doing an intercompany PO and the IC Partner on that is ICP 30; change company information IC Partner to ICP 30 and the error goes away and it goes thru to the other company...its just not rite tho coz the whole idea of intercompany is that companies can be both creditors and debtors of each other....*yawn* <sigh> ](*,) or maybe i was just wrong...i'll look again...but ya...

if you are in the company A then has recieved the order from company B
Have you made sure that company B has been setup correctly in company A ? this message suggests that the intercompany codes either have not been setup for MN or that it was setup incorrectly.

Check the company information for IC partner code on both companies.
