It is not a part of Standard SAP, nor a recommended Practice, nor it is logical.

We understand that when we are speaking of consolidating invoice of different company code, is it an acceptable business practice. In my opinion it is not acceptable business practise. Reason being that Company Code are different Legal entity and how is it correct to even think of merging transactions of different Company code in single invoice. It will invite financial confilct, audit problems and host of unexpected and unanticipated issues.

It is not recommended to go for any such development also to meet the requirement. Please check with the audit team in all locations whether it would be accepted. Technically also verify with FI team the impact. In my opinion it is a strong NO NO.
