Mapping of Intercompany transaction between SRM & SAP R/3

Question

Hi SRM gurus,
We have a scenario where the client wants intercompany transactions to be mapped between SRM & R/3.
i) they say according  to interco transactions, using SRM PO, the following journal entry will be posted upon GRN:
                    Dr           Expense
                         Cr          A/P to Co Code 1 for SRM Vendor code
Question : if co code 1 recognizes A/R in Intercompany code, can we match the balance i.e : is it possible to recognize "A/P to Co Code 1 for SRM Vendor code" as Intercompany balance
ii) When Co. 1 pays for pdts / services on behalf of Co. 2, an intercompany, the journal entry will be as follows :
Co. 1 : Payment voucher (FB60)
a) on GRN :
                    Dr   Prepaid promotion
                          Cr    GR/IR Clearing
b) on IR :
                    Dr    GR/IR Clearing
                          Cr    A/P to Vendor
Co. 1 : Journal Entry (FB70)
Charge to Co. 2
                    Dr. A/R from Co. 2
                          Cr.  Prepaid Promotion
Co. 2 : Journal Entry (MIRO)
On Invoice Recipt to Co. 1
                    Dr. Expense
                          Cr. A/P to Co. 1
Is it possible to make a set of journal entries as below by make config changes in SAP R/3 :
Co.2 :
Upon GRN : Dr Expense
                       Cr GR/IR Clearing
Upon IR :   Dr GR/IR Clearing
                       Cr A/P to Co.1
Co.1:
Upon IR :   Dr. from Co. 2
                       Cr. A/P to Vendor
The client wants to track the above postings scenario through old vendor code which is used as SRM vendor code and which is same as maintained in R/3 vendor master "Previous acct. no." field in Accounting view. To me the above entry on IR in R/3 is not at all feasible.
Like to have your expert suggestions on the above scenario how to map b/w SRM & SAP R/3.

Hi. What exactly are you looking for with the vendor material number? Note 444976 and 412817 are about it not transferring, butthey are very old, you have not said what version of SRM you are using.
For the goods receipt, I doubt there will be a note to let you set the posting date or document date in the backend based on approval date, but you can easily use BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI method BBP_CONF_CHANGE to set this date to whetever you want.
