However, it requires a certain level of scripting knowledge in SuiteScript. The general consensus from the conversations is that you would first need to create an intercompany purchase order, then transform this into a sales order. The pairing is done through the "intercompany" field. However, there are some challenges that you might face during this process. For instance, when trying to create a sales order via SuiteScript and referencing the purchase order, you might encounter an "invalid reference value for intercotransaction" error. This issue does not occur when creating through the UI. Additionally, it's important to note that the accounts assigned to each item would need to align. You would want to make sure the Intercompany COGS and Intercompany Income accounts were the same for each item(s) or else you will get a mismatch in your Elimination process. Lastly, while it's technically possible to manually link an intercompany PO to an intercompany SO with different items on it, it's generally not recommended due to the complexity and potential for errors. It's also worth noting that this process is quite locked down and may not be allowed by the system. In conclusion, while it's possible to automate the creation of intercompany sales orders from intercompany purchase orders, it's a complex process that requires careful planning and scripting. It's recommended to thoroughly test this process in a sandbox environment before implementing it in a live environment.
