Anyone well versed in the intercompany process? I am uncovering odd issues and I am not sure if they are ... typical. Sub 1 has a Sales Order to an end customer with a dropship item of Sub 2. On that line item, an Intercompany PO is generated to Sub 2, which is then flipped into a Sales Order for Sub 2. When a PO is generated for that line item on the Sub 2 SO.... the PO isn't linked in the form. It is found in related records... but it doesn't show up on the line as it typically would. Note: Work Orders do show up as expected. Is there something in this process that I am missing??

Not sure where the second PO comes into the process.

Subsidiary 2 needs to acquire the item for the sale. That PO goes to the vendor
j
got it - so it is not in inventory of Sub2

It is not.

Is the 2nd PO to vendor for sub2 a drop ship, or just regular?

Generally it is DS, but the Intercompany process seems to only allow a SpecOrd PO to be created, so it is a Special Order PO.

Usually the IC process is without using dropship between two subs. Sub A that sells to the outside customer creates a PO for sub B, a SO is generated for sub B that fulfills it, etc. After everything is said and done (fulfillments, shipments, etc) Sub A sells it to the 3rd party as its own product if you will.

Yep, that is fine and kinda figured that out. My issue is that the Sub B will cut a Special Order PO to a vendor, but NS isn't linking that PO on the form. It technically is linked in Related Records, but not on the line. I opened a NS ticket, but who knows how long it will take to hear back. Doesn't seem like too many folks use this stuff in NS to tell me if I am having a issue, or if this is standard behavior.
