| Goods transfer relationships |  |
| Goods transfer relationships enable you to apply the ERP LN pricing and invoicing to the transfer of goods between the entities within a company or in a multicompany structure, without using sales orders and purchase orders. You must define a goods transfer relationship between entities or enterprise units if you want ERP LN to perform one or both of the following actions: Generate invoices for goods transfer within a single logistic company. Apply a commercial price for the goods or add a surcharge percentage to the valuation price. If you do not define a goods transfer relationship between two entities, all goods transfer between entities of the same logistic company takes place against valuation prices and without invoicing. Note Goods transfer between entities other than warehouses outside the logistic company (affiliated-company business partners and external business partners) is always controlled through sales and purchase transactions. In Enterprise Modeling Management you can define goods transfer relationships in the following ways: Between two entities that belong to the same or, in some cases, to a different logistic company in the Entity - Entity Relationships (tcemm2110m000) session. Between two enterprise units that belong to the same logistic company in the Enterprise Unit - Enterprise Unit Relationships (tcemm0134m000) session. If no goods transfer was defined for a particular combination of entities, ERP LN uses this goods transfer. Two global default goods transfer values, one for bilateral invoicing and another for triangular invoicing. If no other applicable goods transfer was defined, ERP LN uses these defaults. To define these defaults, use the Enterprise Modeling Management Parameters (tcemm0100m000) session. Note In addition to specifying the goods transfer relationship between the enterprise units and the entities, you must link the enterprise units to internal business partners. For more information on the types of entities for which you can define entity-entity relationships, refer to Entity-entity relationships. The goods transfer relationship parameters The goods transfer relationship parameters define some of the data that is relevant to the transactions. For example, the goods transfer relationship parameters define: The type of pricing (commercial price or valuation price). Any surcharges. The type of invoicing (triangular, bilateral, or no invoicing). For details, see Transfer pricing. The currency to be used.
