SAP Advanced Intercompany Sales Processes: Transparent and Efficient!

SAP Advanced Intercompany is an enhanced version of the classic intercompany processes in SAP S/4HANA. These processes have been designed to overcome the challenges and limitations of traditional intercompany sales and stock transfers.

Conducting business between different subsidiaries or sister companies often involves complex challenges, such as a lack of transparency, unequal cost allocation or pricing between entities, high complexity due to billing procedures, and bureaucratic hurdles. Additionally, currency risks and tax implications arise when dealing with foreign entities. To mitigate these issues, it is crucial to develop clear internal transfer pricing guidelines and implement a process that ensures transparency and flexibility. This is where the new solution “Advanced Intercompany Sales in SAP S/4HANA” comes into play. With this solution, companies can optimize their intercompany processes, increase transparency, and significantly reduce complexity.
