This article shows you how to test that connection.
Verify the intercompany connection between two companies in Business Central
When you have set up your intercompany partners in both companies and entered all the web service information, you can check whether there is actually a working connection between the two companies.
To run the test, go to the IC Partner card and use Navigate, then choose IC Partner and Test Connection.
If the connection works, you get a confirmation message. For example, if you are testing from the IC Sales company, you might see a message like “Hello, IC Supply from IC Sales.” When you receive a message like this, the connection is okay and your two companies are talking to each other correctly.
