Warehouse-To-Warehouse scenario is used for internally trading between departments, where for example your subsidiary buys raw materials from the headquarters warehouse.
The scenario will automatically generate a sales order to headquarter based on a purchase order in the subsidiary.
Scenario Setup
The scenario configuration for warehouse contains three different tab menus.
In the first tab menu ‘’Warehouse’’ you must setup a ‘’Source Vendor’’ and a ‘’Source Warehouse’’.
This two factor will trigger the InterCompany flow for the warehouse scenario.
It is possible to setup multiple warehouse-scenarios by using different Source vendor, Source Warehouse, Target customer and Target warehouse.
IMPORTANT: If the option "Disable source warehouse check" is checked then all lines one all purchase orders with a vendor matching what is chosen in "Source vendor" will synchronized.
It will change the behavior of Flow 2 - Goods Receipt before Invoice so that instead of the warehouse on the invoice lines being set to the value chosen in "Source vendor" it will based on the goods receipt line that the invoice will be based on.
This is due to a limitation in SAP B1 that requires invoice lines to have the same warehouses as the goods receipt lines they are based on.
Process Flow
The warehouse-to-warehouse scenarios can be performed in two different ways, which is depending on whether the goods is receipt before or after receiving the A/R Invoice.
