Sales on Product Documentation

Order confirmation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose

As soon as the receiving company creates a sales order from an incoming purchase order, BE-terna Intercompany reports back to the partner automatically. The purchasing company sees that the document has been picked up without asking.

Business value

Buyers get reliable feedback on the status of their order without contacting the partner company.
Differences between purchase order and confirmation surface early, because they are visible in the same IC flow.
Foundation for later Order changes on the same order.

Focus areas

Flow

After the receiver creates the sales order, the order confirmation is sent back to the sender as an IC document. The purchasing company sees it in the incoming transactions.

Order changes

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose

If the partner changes a purchase order after sending it, BE-terna Intercompany can propagate the change to the sales order that was created from it. This page describes the conditions for that and how deviating item numbers are handled.

Business value

Later quantity and price changes stay in sync between the purchase and sales sides.
No manual cancel-and-recreate of the sales order.
A clear rule for item-number changes (only before shipment).

Focus areas

Activation on the IC partner card

On the IC partner card you allow order changes on already received sales orders. Changes coming in from a re-sent purchase order then take effect on the existing sales order.

Extensions

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose

This page describes two sales-specific extensions: configurable handling of deviating prices and descriptions on incoming sales orders and manual resending of posted sales documents to the IC partner.

Business value

A clear rule when incoming IC data deviates from local master data (replace, ignore, or fail).
A targeted way to resend posted documents without disturbing the running chain.

Focus areas

Incoming sales orders

For each deviation (sales price or description) on an incoming IC order line you define the behaviour on the partner card:

Shipment

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose

For sales shipments an IC shipment document can be sent to the partner. It is the basis for the automatic warehouse receipt on the purchase side.

Business value

The purchasing partner sees the shipment in the system immediately, not only via the invoice.
The warehouse receipt at the receiver can be created automatically – no manual entry required.
Shipping and invoicing stay cleanly separated and traceable.

Focus areas

Setup on the IC partner card

On the IC partner card you enable sending the IC shipment. Without this setting only the invoice is transferred.
