Intercompany Purchases and Returns: Generated Transactions

As you perform intercompany purchases and returns, you create and process a purchase order, a sales order, a shipment, a purchase receipt, an AR invoice, and an AP bill. When you release the AR and AP documents, the system updates the customer's and vendor's balances. Inventory documents are used to track item movements.
