For Intercompany transactions, e.g. transferring a order from company A to company B, it is not possible to use "Transfer Type" = "File Location", as the Web Client does not know the local folders, but instead downloads the IC-file (XML) automatically. Thus, making it quite manual work.

Better and more up-to-date option would be the use of Web Service. As it could be used between companies, within same or different database , e.g. due to a country specific localisations.

Suggestion: to adapt Intercompany functionality to use Web Services.
