Shipment

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.

Order: shipment before invoice

When shipping and invoicing run together, BE-terna Intercompany sends the IC shipment before the IC invoice. That ordering is required so the partner can apply the invoice automatically to the already posted warehouse receipt.

Outcome

• The partner sees the IC shipment before the invoice and can process receipt and invoicing automatically.
• The delivery chain stays chronologically consistent.
