Edit Intercompany Sales Order throws error: You cannot change the GL impact for Intercompany Inventory Transfer lines

Scenario:

·        Update fields on Intercompany Sales Order (e.g. Date, Location) which were created from Manage Intercompany Sales Order

·        Error:

You cannot change the GL impact for intercompany inventory transfer lines

Findings:

·        User cannot make a GL-impacting change on the Intercompany Sales Order (ICSO) that was created from an Intercompany Purchase Order(ICPO)

·        Modifications will cause an accounting discrepancy between the purchasing and sales parties

·        It is designed this way to keep the GL Impact consistent throughout the workflow

·        The GLImpacting fields include but not limited to: date, quantity, amount, etc.

·        Quantity and ItemRate change(s) are:

·        Allowed for Non-InventoryItems

·        Not allowed for Inventory items

·        Users are prevented from making GL-impacting change after the ICPO and ICSO are linked as a pair.

·        If user is likely to change the content of  ICSO:

·        Create the ICPO first

·        Do not generate the ICSO until field values are finalized (i.e. date, quantity, rate)on the ICPO

·        By doing so, user can keep on changing the ICPO items until the transaction is finalized, and have a consistent PO/SO pair once they are linked. 

·        If user wants to have a preliminary document to track the sales side activity, user can create a Sales Estimate for the Intercompany Customer

·        For existing ICSO:

·        Close the ICSO

·        Close the ICPO

·        Remake the ICPO with the correct field value (e.g. date, quantity, rate, Class /Department / Location)

·        Remake the ICSO
