Setup and process for intercompany trade in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 Dynamics AX 2012 R3 allows for the capability to handle intercompany trade transactions. Intercompany trade transactions allow organizations to sell products and services to other business units or legal entities within the organization for fulfillment of a customer order.

Intercompany order processing in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Dynamics AX is not limited to handling only one production company and several sales companies. All companies set up for intercompany can be trading companies as well as production companies. If several companies have the ability to deliver the same item, you can choose which company to buy from. Before we can use the intercompany functionality, we have to make sure the items have been released to each of these companies. We also need to set up customers and vendors to run intercompany trade. In the example below, USMF is a sales subsidiary, and USSI is a distribution company. We will have a sales order for a customer in USMF and need to purchase this item from our distribution company. From the original sales order, a direct delivery purchase order will be generated. The creation of the purchase order will then initiate the intercompany sales order from our distribution company. The first step is to create a vendor...

Intercompany Project Invoicing in AX 2012 R3 (Part 1) Since the initial release of Dynamics AX 2012 in late 2011, we have invested a lot to make projects easier to use in multi-company scenarios. In the 2012 feature pack, we enabled users to report time against projects in other legal entities. In the R2 release, we added the ability to resource projects with employees of other companies. In R3, we are taking it one step forward and enabling legal entities to invoice each other for time, employee expenses and vendor expenses. This is especially important when a company has subsidiaries in multiple countries and has tax liability for sharing resources. In R2, intercompany cost and revenue was handled through ledger transactions in both companies at the time when the cost was recorded. The process in R3 allows for companies to adjust the amounts charged between companies and aligns the timing of the intercompany revenue in the resourcing company with the revenue accrued in the con...
