Companies using serial and/or batch numbers to trace their items also need to keep track of the serial number/batch numbers of picked items. The intercompany functionality automates the push/pull of serial numbers/batch numbers from one company to another. When you register the batch and serial numbers for the items on an intercompany sales order, you can set up the program to push the serial and batch numbers automatically to the intercompany purchase order and original sales order. You must set up the relevant parameters on the Intercompany action policyform for the Sales order:

• If you select the Batch numberfield, the batch number is synchronized to the inventory transactions on the intercompany purchase order lines when you post the packing slip of the intercompany sales order.

• If you select the Serial numberfield, the serial numbers are synchronized to the inventory transactions on the intercompany purchase order lines when you post the packing slip of the intercompany sales order.
