What is Inter Entity Trade?
Inter Entity Trade automates the flow of transactions in Sage 300 when related entities (companies, branches, divisions etc.) buy and sell products or services to and from each other.
Reciprocal documents are created according to business rules you set up, so when you initiate a transaction in one entity, Inter Entity Trade creates the corresponding entries in the other. You no longer need to manually enter mirrored entries for each side of the transaction.
Why should you use Inter Entity Trade?
- Accounts remain in balance at all times
- Improves accuracy and auditability in complex organizational structures
- Comprehensive audit logging for transparency, compliance, and reconciliation
- Simplifies collaboration and enhances visibility of operations across a group of companies
