Order Import creates internal sales orders from the records in the interface table, and determines the order cycle and
defaults values based on the order type.

A Multi–Org implementation of Purchasing enables separate operating units within an organization to operate independently of each other. However, you may still need to obtain goods from another operating unit, and Purchasing supports this. You can create an internal sales order for an item in another operating unit. When creating this internal sales order, you must create it in the destination organization’s operating unit, and all Order Management activity must take place within that destination operating unit. For example, the following table lists the generalized steps involved and indicate the organization in which they take place.

When you use internal sales orders to transfer goods from another operating unit, the items’ transfer cost is posted to the intercompany payables and receivables accounts as defined in the shipping network and an intercompany invoice can be generated.
