So the idea is that if you have multiple companies with Sage50 and the businesses interact with each other. When a Sales invoice is created in company A on company A's sage, company B will receive the electronic confirmation of this invoice on company B's Sage as a Purchase Invoice from company A. This would require the businesses in the customers tab and suppliers tab of the respected businesses to be identified as specifically linked to the particular Sage profile.
Alternately if a company were to have a supplier or customer sage reference that could be provided to trusted customer's or suppliers both could enter each other's reference into the Sage 50 profile and link to each other so that when invoices are created by one they are automatically downloaded by the other and input into the profile. This could save on data entry time and require only a visual review and tick box to verify that the invoice is confirmed as received and accepted that the transaction occurred.
The same thing could be performed with sales orders and purchase orders. At this point the company could select which service they wished to automate or not.
Just wondering on the feasibility of the idea or if anyone else would find it useful? This would lower data re-entry times on companies that do a lot of business between each other and should increase bookkeeper free time to review the data and create reports.
