3737906 - Switch to bgPF-based Automatically Post Payables for "Classic" Intercompany Invoices Since 2602 Release

In "classic" (that is, non-advanced) intercompany sales processes, there are two methods for posting the payables that represent the intercompany invoice to the selling company's accounts:

• Method 1 (recommended solution since 2602 release): Via background processing framework (bgPF), using output channel EDI

• Method 2 (standard solution before 2602 release): Via IDoc processing, using output channel IDOC

It is strongly recommended to switch to above method 1 as soon as possible, which requires fewer configuration steps during both initial setup and configuration changes, provides increased flexibility, and helps adjust to future business requirements more easily.

In a subsequent release, the bgPF-based solution is set to become the default and replace the IDoc-based solution.
