Hi all,
Maybe I am overlooking something easy or obvious, but right now I am unable to get the following to work in ByDesign:
We run a multi-company setup in ByDesign, with intercompany transactions. Due to the posting logic for Cost of Goods Sold, we have a lot of difficulty in correctly identifying (and eliminating) intercompany purchases.
As a workaround, we are thinking of setting up a dedicated Cost Center under each of our legal entities, to be used only for intercompany costs (purchases).
We use automated creation of Purchase Orders, creating PO's manually is not an option.
This dedicated Cost Center should become the Purchasing Unit on the intercompany Sourcing Contracts, and from there should become the Purchasing Unit on intercompany Purchase Orders.
I have setup the dedicated Cost Center in Organization Management, and turned on both the Strategic and Operational Purchasing flags.
I have created a new Sourcing Contract, where the Purchasing Unit is set to the dedicated Cost Center, the Buyer Responsible is set to the Manager of the dedicated cost center.
When I create a new Sales Order, the Purchase Order created automatically from the Sales Order:
- refers the correct Sourcing Contract - good
- the Purchasing Unit is blank - bad
- the Buyer Responsible is set to the person who created the Sales Order - bad
What do I need to do in order to get the following on the PO creates from a new Sales Order:
- Purchasing Unit copied from Sourcing Contract - must have
- Buyer Responsible copied from Sourcing Contract - should
Thanks & best regards,
Eelco
