Acumens Intercompany & MDM Enhancements (NW)

Acumens Intercompany & MDM Enhancements extends the standard Business Central Master Data Management (MDM) and Intercompany (IC) Processes by addressing gaps and improving existing features.

1. Centralized and Automated MDM Synchronization Setup

   Perform all Master Data Management setups from a single company and export them to other companies effortlessly – using a Copy Setup feature. Also, easily view which companies are included in the synchronization and enable or disable syncing for different companies directly from the central company.

2. MDM Validation

   This feature enables the following:

   1. Prevents local modification of shared master data, ensuring consistency by forcing data modification to occur only in the master data company.
   2. Prevents master data deletion in MDM if the record in subsidiary companies has related transactions.
   3. Automatically deletes subsidiary data plus related non-transaction entries when the master record is deleted in the Master Data company.

3. MDM Contact Synch

   The standard Master Data Management process does not synchronize company contacts. This feature synchronizes all contact changes between the master and subsidiary companies.

4. Automated IC Mapping

   Intercompany purchases, sales, and journal processes rely on mapping of dimensions and chart of accounts between the local company and the intercompany entries. This feature automatically maps these records and cascades modifications when the entries are modified in the current company.

5. IC location transfer

   The standard intercompany processing does not transfer Location Code from the sending to receiving partner during intercompany purchases and sales. This feature adds the Location Code to the data transfer, ensuring the location specified on headers and lines in the sending partner is transferred to the resultant document in the receiving partner.

6. IC Lot transfer

   Enhances intercompany purchase and sales processes by enabling the transfer of lot tracking information alongside other intercompany records.

7. IC Purchase Journals Processing

   Enables posting of intercompany purchase invoice and credit memo transactions by creating and posting intercompany journals from posted purchase invoice and credit memo lines, a capability not available in standard Intercompany functionality.

8. IC Sales Order Processing

   Enables the company to receive items from a third-party vendor and then seamlessly sell those items to an intercompany partner. Instead of performing separate transactions, the system creates and posts an intercompany sales order from the third-party posted purchase receipt. This ensures smooth transfer of items/services, accurate financial posting, and efficient fulfillment across related companies—without unnecessary handling or duplication of work.

9. Incoming IC Documents Posting

   Automatically posts incoming intercompany purchase and sales transactions as soon as they are accepted.

10. IC Documents Linkage

    Introduces the “IC Document No.” field on all intercompany documents, making it easier to track linked transactions. It also includes a “Find IC Document” function to search and view all transactions related by that document number.
