Hi All, I have an issue with intercompany procurement. At the moment we would • order items at subsidiary A from Subsidiary B • order items at subsidiary B from vendor • receive items at subsidiary B ( we don't actually receive them) • create a sales order • fullfill the sales order • receive the order in subsidiary A Our problem lies in when the items are serialized. We have to enter the serial number of the item at point of "receipt". However, this receipt is a "fake" receipt as we often don't have the items ( and never will ) as the are shipped directly from the vendor to the subsidiary, but in order for the subsidiary to receipt there order in we must first have had to fullfill the sales order. Is there a way we can either • bypass the item receipt as we are not receiving these items at the ordering location, • not enter the serial number at point of receipt • change the serial number after it has been received to the destination subsidiary without having to update the serial number at the source subsidary - at the moment we get an error message trying to do this as it is an interco transaction.

This is a common challenge with serialized items in intercompany drop-ship workflows. Depending on your setup, there are better ways to handle the fulfillment flow without relying on a "fake" receipt. I've helped optimize NetSuite intercompany and serialized inventory processes feel free to DM me, and I'd be happy to review your workflow and suggest the best approach. @BullgillRunner
