Inter-Entity Trade Features

Configuration Options

Inter-Entity Trade operates within one and/or across multiple Sage 300 databases.

  • Map which companies will trade with each other
  • Select which documents flow through
  • Map information to flow through from document to document

Trade AP to AR (or AR to AP)

  • Map AP Vendor in source company to AR customer in target company (or vice versa)
  • Map source document GL Account to target document GL Account
  • Automate elimination entries in a consolidation or elimination company
  • Specify a multiplier to mark up or mark down the target document
  • Specify Sage 300 fields to flow through from source to target document. (This can include Project & Job Costing fields).

Create documents from:

  • AP Invoices to AR Invoices
    (or vice versa)
  • AP Credit Notes to AR Credit Notes
    (or vice versa)
  • AP Payments to AR Receipts
    (or vice versa)

Trade OE/PO options

  • Include Sage 300 Project and Job Costing fields to be transferred from the Source document to the Target document.
  • Include Sage 300 IC Serial and Lot Number fields to be transferred from the Source document to the Target document.
  • Override the category on the Target OE documents to easily identify intergroup transactions for consolidated reporting.
  • Override the location on the Target OE or PO documents to easily identify intergroup transactions for consolidated reporting.
  • Map IC items across companies if not identical.
  • Allow bi-directional processing. E.g. if POs in Company 1 against Vendor 2 automatically created Sales Orders (SOs) in Company 2 against Customer 1, you can either:
    - “Receive” the PO, which will cause the SO to be shipped, or;
    - Ship the SO, which will cause the PO to be receipted.

Trade OE to PO (or PO to OE)

  • Account to Account mapping: Map OE customer in Source company to PO vendor in Target company (or vice versa).
  • "Ship Via" to Account Mapping: Map OE "Ship Via" in Source company to PO Vendor in Target company (or vice versa).

Create documents from:

  • OE Orders to PO Orders
    (or vice versa)
  • OE Shipments to PO Receipts
    (or vice versa)
  • OE Invoices to PO Invoices
    (or vice versa)
  • OE Credit Notes to PO Returns
    (or vice versa)

Business Scenario Examples

Company A (Source company) sells goods to Company B (Target company)

  • OE Sales Order and OE Shipment documents being created in Company A.
  • Inter-Entity Trade (IET) automates the generation of the corresponding Purchase Order and goods Receipt documents in Company B.
  • Once the OE/AR Invoice has been issued by Company A, IET also generates the corresponding PO/AP Invoice in Company B.

Company B carries out services for Company A

  • Either Company can raise the Invoice.
  • IET will issue the corresponding AR or AP Invoice for the other party.
  • Company A can pay the Invoice, and have IET automatically create the Receipt in Company B.
  • Alternatively, Company B can enter the Receipt, and have IET create the Payment in Company A.

Testimonials

I must congratulate the Orchid team on what is quite an amazing module. The various Inter-Entity Trade scenarios have been very well thought through.

As much as we believed that Inter-Entity would solve the issues experienced, it was only once implemented that the true advantages were known.

Where we used to have to manually reconcile and invoice, all inter-company transactions are now being performed automatically. We are saving a lot of time...
