Scenario:
Company A has Branch A1 and Branch A2;
Company B has Branch B1 and Branch B2....
In branch setting, we include two new columns and inputs as below:
e.g. in Branch A1, set
Supplier contactperson: SupplierCpA1
Customer contactperson: CustomerCpA1
in Branch B2, set
Supplier contactperson: SupplierCpB2
Customer contactperson: CustomerCpB2
Whenever Branch A1 create invoices to Company B Branch B2, it uses its supplier contactperson (SupplierCpA1) to pair with Company B Branch B2 customer contactperson (CustomerCpB2). The transaction will rely on the supplier contactperson and customer contactperson only, so two ways selling and buying from crossing companies will become more convenient than previous setting(one customer and supplier for one way transaction, specified selling and buying company).
Identify selling and buying companies and its branches.
E.g. A Co. has 2 branches namely A Co.B1 and A Co.B2.
On the other hands, there is B Co. which has 2 branches namely B Co.B3 and B Co.B4.Company Branch A Co. A Co.-B1 A Co-.B2 B Co. B Co.-B3 B Co.-B4 Here assume that
A Co. and B Co. are already registered group company.
A Co. only allows A Co.B1 to do intercompany stock transfer to B Co and B Co. only allows B Co.B4 to receive intercompany stock from A Co.
In short:
Supplier Customer Company A Co. B Co. Branch A Co.-B1 B Co.-B4
Create customer and supplier id(to represent buying and selling company respectively) with contact person(to represent branch of the company).
