Question:
Hi SAPfans.
Can anyone help?
My client has a scenario whereby they have an inter-company invoice between company A and company B. Company A raise the invoice (company B are the customer). It posts an entry on the accounts receivable side (to the customer and revenue accounts), but there doesn't seem to be any automatic posting made on the accounts payable of Company B.
Is it possible to make offsetting postings on the books of both company codes? Or do we have to process the incoming invoice manually (w/out reference to any document) in Company B?
Any ideas?
Regards

P.S. Company B raise the sales order, the goods are delivered direct to the customer from a plant linked to Company A. Company B raise the invoice to the customer, therefore Company A raise an inter-company invoice to Company B.
Answer:
Hi,
This is SAP standard functionality using EDI output type RD04 from the Intercompany Invoice to trigger an Idoc that posts the vendor invoice on the ledger of company B. To set this up you need to maintain an EDI partner profile for the Invoice recipient (I think the message type is INVOIC) and then maintain the settings in AP for incoming invoice through EDI, set up the offsetting account determination and also which tax codes to post to. The values that are passed from the intercompany invoice to the AP vendor invoice are controlled by the output flag against the condition on the Intercompany pricing procedure. So bear this in mind when determining which amounts you want posted on the vendor invoice.
