You can use an intercompany purchase order to buy a rental business object or an inventory business object:

  • If the New fixed asset field is set to Yes, a fixed asset is created in the buying legal entity.
  • If the New fixed asset field is set to No, no fixed asset is created.

When you buy a rental business object, the system creates a fixed asset to inventory journal automatically.

You do these steps in the buying legal entity.


Standard procedure

1. Go to Accounts payable > Purchase orders > All purchase orders.
2. In the Purchase order lines section, click Add line.
3. In the Item number field, enter or select a value. Fill in the other fields as desired.
4. In the Serial number field, enter or select a value. If you buy a serialized item, you must enter the serial number manually on both the intercompany purchase order and the related intercompany sales order.
