Intercompany — Product Roadmap
Here's where Intercompany is heading. The next release focuses on a simpler setup experience, more flexible sales-order automation, and more reliable data transfer between companies. Beyond that, we're investing in richer data transfer, end-to-end shipment tracking, and smoother integration with third-party warehouse systems.
In the next release (version 28.4)
Simpler setup & onboarding
Fewer redundant settings, confusing duplicate pages and navigation removed, and tighter alignment with standard Business Central — including relying on BC's native digital voucher handling.
More flexible sales-order automation
Finer control over how intercompany sales orders are posted, including per-location auto-posting and configurable population of the "Your Reference" field.
More reliable data transfer
Custom field values carry across companies accurately, including time fields and longer contact names.
Clearer errors & easier troubleshooting
More precise, actionable error messages and fuller diagnostic detail when something goes wrong in the intercompany flow.
More accurate item availability
Availability reflects intercompany vendor changes correctly.
Also planned for this release (in progress)
- Guided setup with wizards — step-by-step company setup and connect-to-partner wizards, plus clearer field captions and tooltips throughout setup
- Clearer terminology — key fields renamed for clarity (e.g. the intercompany vendor on the sales order)
- Freight & non-item costs — capture freight and other non-inventory costs (and G/L lines) on intercompany sales orders, not just items
- Resources on intercompany orders — extend the intercompany flow beyond items to resources
- Intercompany price markup — derive the sales company price as a markup on the supply company price
- Richer item-availability detail — clearer visibility into stock availability across companies
- Dimension fidelity — local dimensions preserved when a sales order is re-released
Looking ahead (version 29+)
Richer data & custom-field transfer
Transfer long text and description fields, enable the full set of custom fields by default, and map units of measure to remove cross-language noise.
Shipment & tracking continuity
Carry package tracking numbers, shipping agent, and package-number detail from the supply shipment back through to the sales company.
Smoother third-party warehouse integration
Intercompany transactions process reliably when posting through an external warehouse management system.
