			<Paragraph>If you define a relationship between a purchase office and a sales office, SSA ERP can generate internal invoices between the financial companies that are linked to the offices.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>For example, the relationship between a purchase office and a sales office is required if the sales office receives an order for goods that are not in stock. The sales office can request the purchase office to purchase the goods and deliver them directly to the customer. The sales office invoices the customer, and the purchase office invoices the sales office. SSA ERP generates an invoice from the purchase office to the sales office.</Paragraph>

		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Shipping office and sales office or purchase office</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>SSA ERP generates freight orders for delivery of the goods on sales orders and purchase orders.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>The shipping office that is linked to the issuing warehouse or the receiving warehouse is responsible for planning the delivery and pays the carrier's invoice. The sales office invoices the business partner for the order, or the purchase office pays the business partner.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you define a goods transfer relationship between the shipping office and the sales office or purchase office, SSA ERP can generate the internal invoices between the shipping office and the sales office or purchase office to balance the accounts.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Shipping offices and warehouses</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If a freight order is created for a warehouse transfer order, two warehouses are involved. If the warehouses are linked to different shipping offices, two shipping offices are also involved. One of the shipping offices must plan the goods transfer, and one of the shipping offices or warehouses must pay the carrier's invoice.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>You can define goods transfer relationships between warehouses and between shipping offices to specify whether the issuing entity or the receiving entity is responsible for planning the goods transfer and paying the carrier's invoice. SSA ERP can generate the internal invoices between the entities involved to balance the accounts.</Paragraph>
