Cash is registered under entity MIT, how is this possible if AR is received in CMR?
All the cash received from customer is originally is received in the CMR. The IC billing documents transfer all that cash excluding the commission because that should remain in the CMR

Goods issue FOC --> 4001000 --> requires COPA document --> requires IC billing CMR Goods issue CC-order --> 8130000 --> doesn’t require COPA document --> no IC billing CMR needed
