Intercompany Logistics: ICL setting 'Use ICL item code'

WMS documentation

Introduction

This document describes the functionality of the 'Intercompany Logistics (ICL) item code'.

Description

Using the 'ICL item code', the item codes for sales orders exchanged between two ICL companies can be different.

In the ICL sales- or purchase database, you can configure for each item an alternate item code to be used in the central database.

In Exact Globe Next item maintenance in the ICL sales- or purchase database, you can configure an alternate item code using the 'ICL' button.

Upon entry this item code is not validated, since a direct connection to the ICL central database is not possible here. This entry works as a free text field.

Whether ICL applies this item code or not, depends on the ICL Sales or ICL purchase setting: 'Use ICL item code'.

When this setting is enabled, and an alternative item code is filled in item maintenance, the alternate item code will be used in the central company on creation of the new sales order, during export of sales orders or purchase orders.

Example:

item code "1003" in the ICL sales company has alternate ICL item code "X1003" configured
a sales order in entered in the sales company with item code "1003"
after exporting the sales order to the central company, the sales order line in the central database will be created for item code"X1003"

Points of attention

When recoding items in the central database, the 'ICL item code' is not recoded in the sales- or purchase database
For export of invoices from the central database, the setting is retrieved from the 'ICL Sales' settings tab.
