We have done "Self Billing" 3 ways.
1. Have a different environment for each division & treat each other as if 
another company ... not a good solution because of all the extra data 
processing.
2. Use Facilities for each division & treat each other as if another company 
in which Purchase Orders from one facility to another are entered as Customer 
Orders ... this is better, but accounting still does not want to do the play 
money transactions.
3. Use SSA's module DRP to handle the inter-facility requirements, bypass 
Purchase Orders entirely, and use Customer Orders type 9, with Resupply 
Orders ... you need to comprehend the documentation on DRP ... a few things 
have to be done a bit differently.

Any time you need to use a module of BPCS that was not on the set that you 
contracted to use, there is a financial hit with SSA, but this is probably 
less painful than trying to buy some non-SSA stuff & integrating it.
