	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>SSA ERP carries out <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000030" role="glossary">triangular invoicing</Link> for transactions within a single logistic company that involve entities which are linked to different enterprise unit.</Paragraph>
		<ExampleSection><SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>A sales office and a warehouse of a single logistic company are linked to different <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000011" role="glossary">enterprise units</Link>. The sales-office's enterprise unit is linked to financial company 100 and the warehouse's enterprise unit is linked to financial company 200. A sales order arrives from an external business partner to the sales office.</Paragraph>
			<List><ListIntro>The sales office initiates a warehouse order to ship the goods from the plant to the business partner. The warehouse order contains the following information:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>The ship-from address.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The ship-to business partner and the ship-to address.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The invoice-to business partner.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The sales-order number.</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>No invoice is required between the sales office's enterprise unit and the warehouse's enterprise unit because they belong to the same logistic company.</Paragraph>
		</ExampleSection>
		<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Payments</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>As the enterprise unit of the ship-from warehouse differs from the enterprise unit of the invoice-to business partner on the warehouse order, SSA ERP generates triangular payments in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf" role="package">Financials</GUIRef>.</Paragraph>

			<List><ListIntro>The sales order/receipt activates the sales office to create an invoice to the invoice-to business partner. Internally, the warehouse's financial company expects a payment for the goods. The warehouse order issue to the ship-to business partner results in:</ListIntro>
				<ListItem>The generation of an open receivable invoice for the warehouse, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/acr" role="module">Accounts Receivable</GUIRef> module of the financial company of the warehouse's enterprise unit.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The generation of an open payable invoice for the sales office, in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tf/acp" role="module">Accounts Payable</GUIRef> module of the financial company of sales office's enterprise unit.</ListItem>
