From a practical perspective you have two distinct entities so you would treat it as any other customer or supplier process. You'd have the subsidiary marked as both and generate both documents for each.
There is the feature to copy an order as a new order where you can assign different parties so it should be possible to save time copying the PO or Sales Order as the other type. You may have to tweak it a bit to get the type to change, not sure if that's supported OOTB. It wouldn't be too big of a project to write a bit of code in a service to trigger automatic PO creation from a sales order. I don't think this is OOTB right now because there are a ton of variables for both - financial terms (are you clearing payment immediately or end of the month internally?), shipping (is the stuff being transferred internally or just getting a new warehouse location?), vendor selection (if a product has multiple suppliers which supplier gets the auto PO?) etc. --P > On Mar 27, 2017, at 8:11 AM, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Anyone familiar with how this business process would work? > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Multi Company Question > From: <[email protected]> > Date: Wed, March 22, 2017 7:36 am > To: [email protected] > > > When in OFbiz if I am a main company and a subsidiary in which the > subsidiary purchases from the main company.
