Hi

Usually you could have a group of customers to whom you sell and a group of
customers from whom you buy. However, there could be a central controlling
authority of these groups which can be regard as the Head office.

Head office for a group of customers is responsible for making payments to
you ( Centralized Payment though you supply materials individually to all
participants of the group. Likewise one vendor could be termed as Head
office for all the other vendors from whom you buy.

Usually all correspondence with such customers and vendors are initiated
with the head office only since open items are managed at the head office.
However, in the correspondence tab of such HO master record, you could
activate Decentralized processing ( (customers) and Local processing (
Vendors) so that related correspondence could be forwarded to the
respective branch customers / vendors.

These check boxes help in directing correspondence notes only.

Subject: Decentralized processing field in vendor head office master data

Hello experts,

I encounter an issue on invoice payment of branch vendor with head office. as we know if the vendor has a head office, amount will calculate on head office when create invoice via FB60, not branch vendor. the decentralized processing field in head office vendor master data can control the payment on branch vendor, if I understand is correct.

But I check this field in HO master , and post an invoice from branch vendor, it doesn't work. amount is still recorded on HO. Why the filed doesn't work ? any wrong on my setting / process?

Really appreciate your feedback, thanks!

Lilian
