Features

  •  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.

  •  MDM Validation:  This feature enables the following;

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

  •  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.

  •  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.

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

  •  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.

  •  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. This ensures smooth transfer of items/services, accurate financial posting, and efficient fulfillment across related companies.

  •  Incoming IC Documents Posting:  Automatically posts incoming intercompany purchase and sales transactions as soon as they are accepted.

  •  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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Business Central requires manual setup and maintenance of intercompany mappings, does not synchronize company contacts across companies, and fails to transfer important data such as location codes and lot tracking information between intercompany documents. It also lacks automation for creating and posting intercompany journals from purchase invoices and credit memos, leaving users to handle these tasks manually. The Acumens Intercompany & MDM Enhancements overcome these gaps by automating G/L account and dimension mapping, synchronizing all contacts, transferring location and lot details seamlessly, and enabling automatic posting of incoming intercompany documents.
Standard Business Central requires manual setup of intercompany chart of accounts and dimension mappings. Any changes must be replicated manually, which is error-prone and time-consuming. Acumens Intercompany & MDM Enhancements introduces automated mapping and cascaded modifications, ensuring consistency without manual intervention.
Standard Business Central’s MDM does not synchronize company contacts. This means customer, vendor, employee, and bank contacts must be maintained manually in each company, leading to inconsistencies. The Acumens Intercompany & MDM Enhancements fills this gap by automatically synchronizing all contact changes between the master and subsidiary companies.
