Intercompany PO's and Inventory Receipts

leewhite1234

We are using NAV 2009 SP1. We routinely sell products to end-users from Company A, then in Company A issue a PO to Company B to manufacture the product. This is shipped by Company B to Company A who does the final processing and ships it to the end user. What I want to understand is what modifications are involved to have the intercompany module send information to the PO in Company A when Company B ships and posts the sales invoice? Navision sends a vendor invoice which is not connected to the PO. Has anyone developed a solution to this scenario?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Hi leewhite1234,
One way of doing this is to make a function in the purchase invoice that finds the related purchase receipt and fills out the "Receipt No." and the "Receipt Line No." fields on the lines of the purchase invoice. We put this function into the release of a purchase invoice.
After this the purchase invoice can be posted and it will be applied to the original purchase order (similar to when you manually use the 'get receipt lines..' function from a purchase invoice).

If you are using item tracking then you also need to handle that part. There is an already defined function to copy this information from the purchase order to the invoice:
ItemTrackingMgt.CopyHandledItemTrkgToInvLine2(PurchOrderLine,PurchLine);

This, of course, assumes that the purchase order has been received. In our case we just let the purchase invoices sit there until we have received the product.
