SAP Business One Intercompany integration
As a company, do you have multiple branches, multiple warehouses or different companies within one group? Then SAP Business One Intercompany helps to manage processes, inventory and administration centrally.
This allows you to work with one ERP solution while still allowing locations, branches and companies to operate independently.
Overview
Why do companies choose SAP Business One Intercompany?
Organizations with multiple branches or companies often run into the same challenge: information is scattered across different systems and processes do not align well.
SAP Business One Intercompany ensures that data, transactions and reports between locations are exchanged automatically. This creates more insight, less duplication of effort and better collaboration between branches, warehouses and companies within the same group.
"Sometimes a lot of time and money is wasted because individual locations have information that is not shared. Intercompany integration puts an end to that."

Multiple branches
Grip on multiple branches and warehouses.
Organizations with multiple branches, warehouses or companies within one group often run into the same challenges. Stock is in different locations, financial data is scattered and employees work with different processes.
SAP Business One Intercompany connects these locations within one ERP environment. This automatically exchanges data, creates more insight and makes it easier to manage processes.
Whether you manage multiple warehouses, move inventory between branches or want to consolidate reports: Intercompany helps keep a grip on the entire organization.

Functionalities
Assignment of tasks
Collaboration between employees at different locations is also made easy. To carry out certain projects, multiple locations may be involved sequentially or simultaneously.
With SAP Business One Intercompany Allocation, it’s immediately clear who is responsible for which task or responsibility and where any bottlenecks might be. You can create cross-location processes and, if necessary, coordinate logistics between both locations simultaneously.
Internal trade
Some organizations have subsidiaries that operate with a certain degree of autonomy. Sometimes this even means they are separate companies that need to purchase products and services from one another.
SAP Business One Intercompany Trade records and facilitates these internal purchases. This ensures transparency and prevents any surprises at the end of the fiscal year.
Control and insight
As a parent company, do you want to maintain control over processes, invoices and purchases that pass through your subsidiary companies?
With SAP Business One Intercompany Integration, you can. Responsibility for approving processes, invoices and purchases can lie outside the boundaries of the company.
Financial consolidation
At the end of your fiscal year, you want the results of individual locations to appear together on a balance sheet. With SAP Business One Intercompany Reporting, this is now simple.
When all purchases and sales are neatly recorded, you can easily extract the totals from the system and report them.
