Business Scenario Examples

Company A (Source company) sells goods to Company B (Target company), with 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, and 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.
