FUNCTIONAL RESTRICTIONS
• When using Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) in the receiving plant, increasing the received
quantity is not possible because it would lead to posting errors during goods movements into the
receiving plant.
• Manual changes of the delivery address in the intercompany purchase order item are not transferred to
the intercompany sales order item.
• For intercompany purchase orders items where the field “Partial delivery” is set to “Create only one
delivery (also with quantity = 0)”, delivery items with zero quantity are not supported. In this case, the
respective intercompany sales order will be incomplete due to a missing quantity in the sales order item
as quantity zero is interpreted as initial.
• Delivery items having zero quantity are relevant for intercompany customer invoices.
o For delivery items having zero quantity an intercompany invoice will be created.
o Intercompany customer invoice items having zero quantity are not transferred into the
intercompany supplier invoice.
o In the Monitor Value Chains app, the process step “Intercompany Supplier Invoice” won’t always
get the document processing stage “Completed”.
• The billing date of the intercompany customer invoice is used as the posting date of the intercompany
supplier invoice.
o The intercompany supplier invoice can’t be created in case the posting period of the receiving
company is closed for the billing date.
▪ Solution 1: Cancel the intercompany customer invoice and recreate it with a billing date
where the posting periods are open in the delivering company and the receiving
company.
▪ Solution 2: Use the BAdI MMIV_IC_MAPPING to set a different posting date of the
intercompany supplier invoice.
▪ Solution 3: Open the posting period in the receiving company to post the IC supplier
Invoice.
o Remarks:
▪ Intercompany supplier invoice creation is only possible after stock transfer to physical
stock in the receiving plant has been posted.
▪ You can prevent this issue by creating the intercompany customer invoice after stock
transfer to physical stock in the receiving plant has been posted.
• Customer return processes with reference to the advanced intercompany stock transfer process are not
supported.
o Please use an intercompany stock transfer return.
• Manually created intercompany supplier invoices are not visible in the Monitor Value Chains app.

• Sales process flow will not display the intercompany sales order and the intercompany customer invoice.
• In some scenarios of Advanced ICo Stock Transfer the system uses the reason for rejection “62” in the
sales order in the delivering company. The usage of reason for rejection “62” is fixed in the source code
and can’t be configured.
o It’s necessary that the reason for rejection 62 is defined.
• A delivering company must have always the same supplier number in all selling companies.
o It’s not possible to have a deferring supplier number for a delivering company in a selling
company.
o The supplier number is used to create the intercompany supplier invoice.
• Advanced intercompany stock transfer is using valuated stock in transit. Therefore, the business function
LOG_MM_SIT (MM, Stock in Transit and Actual Costing) needs to be active in the system.
o The business function LOG_MM_SIT is activated by default.
• Integration of IBP for response and supply with advanced intercompany stock transfer is not supported.
• Proof of delivery (POD) must not be used and is therefore not available in the advanced intercompany
