SAP Advanced Intercompany Sales Processes: Transparent and Efficient!

Optimize intercompany sales processes in SAP - transparent, automated and efficient business processes

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

The handling of business between different subsidiaries or sister companies is often associated with complex challenges such as a lack of transparency, an unequal distribution of costs or pricing between the companies, high complexity due to billing procedures and bureaucratic hurdles. There are also currency risks and tax implications for companies abroad. In order to mitigate these problems, it is all the more important to develop clear internal transfer pricing guidelines and to implement a process that can ensure transparency and flexibility. This is where the new “Advanced Intercompany Sales in SAP S/4HANA” solution comes into play. With this solution, companies can optimize their intercompany processes, increase transparency and significantly reduce complexity.
