Hi

Working in E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 and was wondering about intercompany invoicing across sets of books. Is that possible. I have heard various thoughts - most of which suggest no. Do you have any comments?

Thanks

Patti Smith

Hi Patti,

If you are trying to create a single invoice in Payables or Receivables that has distribution lines that hit accounts in more than one set of books then you are correct this is not possible in 11i or R12.

You need to create a cross charge for the expense from one set of books to another and GIS (11i) or AGIS (R12) cna help with that.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough - we are considering implementing intercompany invoicing for 4 inventory orgs that are set up as follows:

Set of books 1:
Legal entity 1:
Operating Unit 1:
Inventory Org 101 & 201

Set of books 2:
Legal entity 2:
Operating Unit 2:
Inventory Org 251

Set of books 2:
Legal entity 3:
Operating Unit 3:
Inventory Org 161

Inventory Org 161 ships to Inventory Org 101
Inventory Org 251 ships to Inventory Org 201

Can this be done thru intercompany invoicing? Also, volume is about 20-50 for each shipping/inventory org per day; is this volume too much overhead to manage?

Thanks Patti

Patti,

Now the question is clear. Crossing a set of books in that way shouldn't pose a problem and those volumes should not be prohibitive either.
