Now why would we want to do that ?
Well... this is an introductory setup for processing D365 Intercompany Purchase and Sales Orders: Entangled Vendors and Customers
In this scenario, D365 Legal Entity US02 will buy from D365 Legal Entity US01.
We will create a Vendor in US02 to buy from US01, and
we will create a Customer in Us01 to sell to US02.
We will use a smart numbering for the Vendor and the Customer.
V for Vendor, C for Customer, followed by the digits 99 (to force them to the bottom of the Vendor and Customer master lists). We will end the smart Vendor and Customer numbers with the corresponding Chart of Accounts number to facilitate validation of the the related Vendor and Customer Posting Profiles (see step 6).
Example V99.290001 C99.190002
1. Chart of Accounts
Create the following Accounts.
Notice that the Main Accounts end with digits that correlate to the Legal Entity ID.
General ledger > Chart of Accounts > Accounts > Main Accounts (New)
190002, IC PO/SO Receivable US02, Asset
290001, IC PO/SO Payable US01, Liability
2. Groups
Create a new Vendor Group
US02 \ Accounts payable > Setup > Vendor groups
IC, Intercompany
Create a new Customer Group
US01 \ Accounts receivable > Setup > Customer groups
IC, Intercompany
3. Create Vendor and Customer
Create the following vendor, in company US02, with a user assigned vendor number.
US02 \ Accounts payable > Vendors > All vendors (new)
Vendor # = V99.290001,
Vendor name = US01 Legal Entity Name,
Vendor group = IC
Create the following customer, in company US01, with a user assigned customer number.
US01 \ Accounts receivable > Customers > All customers (new)
Customer # = C99.190002
Customer name = US02 Legal Entity Name
Customer group = IC
4. Entangle the Vendor
Go back to company US02 and open up vendor V99.290001
Within the new vendor, go to > General > Intercompany to setup the trading relationship.
Setup the Trading Relationship for the US02 Vendor like the exhibit.
Note: you are choosing the US01 customer that you setup above.
5. Entangle the Customer
Go back to company US01 and open up customer C99.190002
Within the new customer, go to > General > Intercompany to setup the trading relationship.
Notice, because you already activated the trading relationship, the setup is already done,
The Intercompany Vendor and the Intercompany Customer are now entangled.
Exhibit: US01 Customer, C99.190002
6. Posting Profiles
Let us round off today's blog with Vendor and Customer Posting Profiles
This will point any transactions we setup in later sessions to the appropriate Intercompany Payable / Intercompany Receivable accounts on the Trial Balance
Setup posting profiles in the proper Legal Entity.
US02 \ Accounts payable > Setup > Vendor posting profiles
Choose the General posting profile and "Add"
Account code = Table
Account / Vendor group = V99.290001
Summary account = 290001
US01 \ Accounts receivable > Setup > Customer posting profiles
Choose the General posting profile and "Add"
Account code = Table
Account / Vendor group = C99.190002
Summary account = 190002
Notice how easy it is to visually validate the proper combination of accounts.
(290001 and 190002)
In subsequent blogs we will dive into policies and integration with inventory.
