If invoices are sent to companies that are members of your consolidation group, you have to include these companies in consolidation. All sales revenues originating from business transactions within the corporate group have to be eliminated (elimination of intercompany sales). You enter a number in the Trading partner field of the master record so that the system can identify which accounts are to be included.

If you use this function, you should define the company ID (which is standard throughout the group) and inform the clerks involved before creating master records.

The system eliminates intercompany sales for those business partners that are identified by the same number in the Trading partner field of the master record.

Enter the company ID in the Trading partner field of the customer master record for each affiliated company.
