Intercompany — Product Roadmap
Here's what's coming next in Intercompany — organized by the outcomes it delivers for your business.
In the next release (29.0)
Ready for release (29.0)
Simpler, guided intercompany setup
A new Company Setup Wizard walks you through configuring a company for intercompany, with obsolete and redundant fields removed from the IC Partner Card, all custom fields enabled by default, a direct link to unit-of-measure mapping from Intercompany Setup, and a partner connection test that confirms the partner is actually set up on the other side.
More of your business flows through intercompany
Freight and other non-inventory charges, G/L lines and resources can now travel on intercompany sales orders, and the sales company's price can be derived automatically as a markup on the supply company's price.
Richer, more accurate data transfer
Package tracking numbers and shipping agents carry across from the supply company's shipment, long custom field values and text such as work descriptions transfer in full, and unit-of-measure mapping removes noise in flows across languages. Dimension handling can now be set per partner instead of globally.
More reliable postings and document matching
Location codes are protected from being overwritten during updates, purchase invoices are matched to the right receipt lines, document pairing stays stable with duplicate external document numbers, manually created orders are no longer mistaken for intercompany documents, drop-shipment lines are protected once the partner has shipped, fully invoiced orders no longer leave shipments stuck in the inbox, and a currency-display setting no longer blocks document transfer.
Clearer behavior and stronger partner connectivity
The intercompany flag on sales lines is now set by the system, partner locations are applied consistently across availability views, tooltips are clearer and appear wherever a field is shown, Intercompany adopts a shared external-tenant connection model, and partners can extend the outbound document flow from their own extensions.
Also planned for 29.0 (in progress)
- Redesigned partner connection wizard — a guided way to connect a new intercompany partner, completing the setup orchestration effort.
- Item availability across companies — clearer availability details when selling stock held by a partner company.
- Shipment time on intercompany purchase orders — shipment time from the customer card is applied when the purchase order is created.
Planned for later releases (29.2, 30.0)
Item charges on intercompany orders — allocate freight and similar costs to intercompany sales orders using standard item charges.
Price markup through price lists — drive the intercompany markup through standard Business Central price lists.
Faster processing at volume — bulk-process selected Inbox and Outbox transactions, faster duplicate checks, and timeouts adapted to large lot-tracked picks.
Smoother third-party warehouse integration — Outbox transactions are processed automatically when posting through an external warehouse system.
Better item tracking across companies — lots and item tracking are preserved when quantities are reduced, remote lot lookups return results, tracking lines are visible on handled transactions, and credit memos carry tracking and location to the partner.
Guided recovery and cleaner documents — a supported path forward when a document pairing breaks, order numbers kept on combined invoices, company names with special characters handled correctly, and accurate transfer of negative decimal custom field values.
Clearer setup guidance — refined tooltips around order-release triggers and item tracking.
