Hi everyone,
We receive most SO as Intercompany PO.
I know that Owner company’s PO is connected to our SO. In this intercompany order, which field in the owner company PO does the ship-to information come from?
Thanks in advance!
Hello!
What ERP version is your company on?
MY ASSUMPTION:
I’ll preface this with saying my company is not set up for multi-company, but my assumption is that it may all come from within YOUR company’s Customer record for your Owner company.
Your Owner company should be setup in YOUR system within “External Company Maintenance”. There, your Owner company is set-up with an External Company ID.
The PO that comes to you should include that value in POHeader.ExtCompany
Your system uses that ExtCompany ID, looks at that ID in records created in “External Company Configuration”. There, that External Company ID is tied to a CustomerID.
So… my ASSUMPTION is that the PO you’re receiving includes a POHeader.ExtCompany value… and then your company is getting Ship To information from the Customer record tied to that External Company ID.
Thanks for your advice!
I don’t fully understand what you are saying, but I am in External Company Configuration & Maintenance in my owner company.
What should I look at here to find the answer I’m looking for?
So, if the record above is your Owner Company… again, my assumption, is that any PO coming from them would include 99476A in the POHeader.ExtCompany column.
So, if you tossed one of the PO’s from your parent company in a BAQ and included POHeader.ExtCompany… is that the value you see?
The next part of my assumption is that the “Customer ID” showing in your screen shot is the Customer ID you have assigned to your Parent Company. So the shipping information you’re seeing on the PO may be coming from that Customer record.
Long story short… my theory is the shipping information comes from the Customer Record in your system for your Owner Company. The POHeader.ExtCompany is simply the link between the PO and the Customer record.
I guess, it is coming from PORel table. We are multi-company and we see all shipping details in there.
Hi,
Is the field you are talking about the Ship-to field in PO Releases detail? Or is it this Ship-to Customer field in Drop ship Adress?
Hi,
As you said, I got the below result from Extcompany in BAQ.
But what I’m still looking for is which field in the owner company PO is the Ship-to information we see in the Incoming ICPO Suggestions? Because we could not find the Ship-to name we see in the Incoming ICPO Suggestions in the owner company’s PO.
With your help I found the field. The field I was looking for was in the owner company’s PORel. The Sold-To in the owner company’s PORel was connected to the Ship-to in Intercompany SO.
Sometimes the Ship-To on PORel would connect to the Ship-to on the intercompany SO, but I don’t know in which cases this would happen.
But I’m satisfied with what I’ve learned so far. Thank you to everyone who helped me.
