Plant specific Purchase organization.

Hi,
Can any one clarify me, In a plant specific Purchase organization  we assign Plants to company code also we assign Plant to Purchase orgianization.
Do we need to assign that plant specific Purchase orgainization to company code also or not?
Best Regards,
Sairam.

1<b>.Pur org assigned to Co code</b> :
You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
2. <b>Assigning Pur org to plants</b> :
One purchasing organization procures for one plant.
This is plant-specific purchasing.
One purchasing organization procures for several plants.
Several purchasing organizations procure for one plant.
Don't confuse .<b> generally as per SAP standard system, Pur org must be assigned to plant but can be assigned to cocode.</b>

  • Plant specific purchase organization - Reg.

    Hi Gurus,
    I have one qurrey.
    That is "Our client has two company codes 1000 & 2000. In company code 2000, there are 4 plant codes, which is including Head office as one plant.
    We created one purchasing organizaton related to company code 2000 as a central level pur. org.
    Is it better to create one more purchase organization of each plant specific for carryout purchase activities at plant level.
    or can we go for one common purchase groups for all site level procurement.
    kindly suggest at the earliest.

    Hi,
    It all depends on how your business wants it. If they are going to do purchase from all the sites & if they have site specific vendors or if they want different reports of Purchases based on site etc.. then its all advisable to go for plant-specific since it gives a one to one mapping.
    where as if your business doesn't do purchases from all the sites or site specific vendors then you can advise to go for Central Purchase.
    If you are going for plant specific P.Org then you need to create 4 P.Orgs since you have 4 plants or else 3 if your Head office doesn't procure anything.
    Just explain benefits of both the scenarios to business so that they will be clear & can take a decision.
    Thanks & Regards,

    2. Can I assign a plant to multiple purchasing organizations?

    1) go to IMG>Enterprise structure>Definition> logistics general> define plant
    Define Purchase organisation in MM
    IMG> Enterprise structure>Assignment> Materials Management> assign Purchase organisation to plant OX17

    This is plant-specific purchasing.
    One purchasing organization procures for several plants.
    Several purchasing organizations procure for one plant.

  • How I restrict Scheduling agreement type for specific Purchase organization.

    Hello Experts,
    I have created Scheduling agreement type (ZLT). I want to restrict this agreement type for specific purchasing organization.
    I have search many threads but I didn't get solution.
    Is it possible through Configuration or user exit.
    Kindly give me solution in details.
    Thanks,
    Ranjit Kumar.

    hi,
    I don't think that there is standard configuration to restrict Purchasing document type for purchasing group. you can restrict this trough user authorization or you can make user exit development.

  • Plant Specific & Cross Plant Purchase Organisation

    hi Guys,
    What is the major different between Plant Specific Purchase Oragnisation and Cross Plant Purchase Organisation.
    Regards,
    Sudhakar

    hi,
    when u r telling about plant specific purchase organization, the same plant organization is responsioble for all the procurement related activity of that specific plant.
    in case of cross plant P. orgN, they can procure the material for more than one plant to which they have been assigned.

  • Assignment of Purchase Organization with Company Code and Plant

    Please give me solution to Assign Purchase Organization with Company Code and Plant. While creating a material in organization level plant and purchase organization should be assigned.
    Please help me out.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am not sure if i have really understood your query.
    Material creation means creating master data, as far as creation and assignment of organization elements with other organizational elements are concern for eg : purchase org in you case is part of standard configuration.
    You create Purchase org using t-code OX08 here you copy from and existing one and then chane the description of Pur org as per your requirement.
    You assign Purchase Org using t-code OX01 to company code assignment, t- codeOX17 for plant assignment to Purchase Org.
    Normally you do all your changes in Devlopment server save the changes in an transport request then move it to quality and production enviornment.
    Hope this helps.

  • Purchasing Organization to Company code relationship question

    My client is running EEC 6.0 in production.  When the original configuration was done, the purchasing organization was incorrectly assigned to the company code (table V_T024E_Assign; menu path: IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Materials Management > Assign Purchasing Organization to company code).  This should have been left blank since we wanted the purchasing organization to serve multiple company codes.  I know that I can blank out the company code and assign each plant ( e.g.  plants for company code 1 and plants for company code 2) to the purchasing organization.
    The question that I have is:  What impact would this change have on any of the existing purchasing related transactions currently in the system (e.g. purchase orders, invoices, receipts, issues)?  Would it cause any problems?
    Any assistance is answer this would be appreciated.  If you need more information, please let me know.

    (1) You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
    (2) You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code but to plants.
    This purchasing organization can then procure for all plants assigned to it, irrespective of the company code to which the plant belongs.
    Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the company code can be determined via the plant in each procurement transaction, even if the procuring purchasing organization is not assigned to a company code.
    A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.
    When you will delete the realtion of P.Org and Company code. It will shift to the second situation where P.Org is assigned to Plant and since Plants are assigned to company code so it will refer to the respective company code.

  • Purchasing organization structure

    Hi Team,
    I have a question on purchasing organization management. Currently there are two scenarios:
    Option 1: There is only one purchasing organization for one country and two company codes. Purchasing organization is not assigned to company code. All the plants in the countries are assigned to one Purchasing Organization. But plants are assigned to respective company code.
    Option 2:  There are two purchasing organization for one country and two company codes. Each Purchasing organization is assigned to respective company code. All the plants in the countries are assigned to respective company codes and Purchasing Organization.  I mean one set of plants are assigned to one purchasing organization and company code and other set of plants are assigned to other purchasing organization and company code.
    Now my question is which option is better? The purchasing team (Buyers) are located in different cities in one country but they can procure for any purchasing organization so what is the benefit of having option2.
    I see advantage in option 1 as it reduces lots of master data and if needed we can control the conditions by Purchasing info record at plant level.
    Please reply.

    Hi
    Porg is a
    Organizational unit within Logistics, subdividing an enterprise according to the requirements of Purchasing. A purchasing organization procures materials and services, negotiates conditions of purchase with vendors, and bears responsibility for such transactions.
    Based on the Enterprise, Company and plant size, location, logisitics geographics  the decision has to be taken at what level the Porganisation has to be defined and assigned.*
    Purchasing organizations may be defined according to the following criteria
    Different legal responsibilities
    How procurement is organized within a specific enterprise, for example, several areas may be responsible for procurement, each enterprise may have its own purchasing policy
    The need to break down purchasing activities according to specific criteria, for example:
    According to enterprise areas
    According to responsibility for different geographic areas (national or international level)
    According to products procured
    The need to record certain purchasing-specific information, such as prices, conditions, or vendor evaluation, in the R/3 System
    You create purchasing-specific information for each purchasing organization, for example:
    Vendor master data
    Purchasing info records
    Vendor evaluations
    Porg may be defined based on the procurement methods
    Company-code- or plant-specific purchasing
    Central purchasing
    Central contract management
    The purchasing organization is then active for all company codes and is not assigned directly to one company code. In this case, you assign the purchasing organization to the company code when procurement processes are being carried out.

    Hope this will give an idea
    Cheers

    vendor Smith Corp.
    The purchasing organization EORG, responsible for procurement in the Houston and Austin plants, wants to issue release orders for the material Steel bolt 01 against this contract.
    Purchasing organization EORG procures other consumable materials from regional suppliers.

  • Assign Purchasing Organization to Plant

    Hi All,
    When assigning Purchasing Organization to Plant, the field "Status" retrieves the following information:
    "Company code of plant/purchasing organization are not identical"
    Where can I solve this?
    Kind Regards,
    Miguel

    HI Miguel,
    After Creating a Plant in Spro ,by the Copy of as plant it will creting all the remaing in the background it self.
    But to make plant as a valuation ,we have check at what level you are doing the valution
    Go to OX14 and Check your valution level it should be plant.
    Know Comming to the Usage og OMWD.
    THis Trasaction is used to Group the valuation area for the accounting determination
    in MOre clearly ,if we have three plants ,all the three plants can be linked to to a single Valuation group code or different .
    it should be assigned in such a way ,how you want to hit your financials .
    it has Link of your Plant and comapany code and the chat of accouts( check with your FI guy) and the Grouping Code( As per your Logic Z001)
    After Maintaing the same ,we can use this Valuation group code in OBYC, for accounting determination
    if you check BSX trsansaction  key --used for inventory Posting
    And it that if you Check the rules ,it has Valiation MOdif ,which is nothing but the Valuation grouping code.so they both are one and same.
    the other combinations are Valuation class ( Maintained in OMSK) and GL Account ( Maintainted in FS00)
    Hope so it help

  • Material Master - Purchase order Text view as plant specific

    Is there any provision in standard SAP to make Material Master u2013 Purchase order Text view as plant specific.
    Example: Material Master u2013 Sales text view is sales org & Distribution channel specific and the sales text is unique of each of the sales org and distribution channel combination.
    i.e, if we change sales text for a sales org and distribution channel combination, it will not affect the sales text of another sales org and distribution channel combination.
    Similarly, can we make the Purchase order Text view as plant specific? How to achieve this?
    As of now, if we change the text for one plant, it will be affected to all other plants also.

    Hi Pankaj, thanks for the reply.
    The solution you have given is applicable if the info record PO text is used only in Purchase order?
    Moreover, we are not using plant specific info records.
    We want to use material master PO text for some other custom transactions.
    Please give your inputs.
    Thank you.

  • Assign Purchase organization to plant

    Hi,
    I have created the reference purchase organization 2000 and assigned it to Purchase Organization 1000 as a reference P.Org.
    P.Org 1000 is assigned to plant 1000 .
    When creating a PO for P.org 2000 and Plant 1000. I get this message:
    <b>Purchasing organization 2000 not responsible for plant 1000.</b>
    Does the reference P.org have to be assigned to the plant?
    If I read <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/0b/ecb237e29bc368e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/0b/ecb237e29bc368e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm</a>
    it says "The reference purchasing organization RORG can be maintained with or without a company code and plant(s)."
    but do I have to assign the reference P.org to the plant anyway?
    /Anders

    Hi Anders
    It seems there is some confusion..will try to explain you once again..
    Suppose you have two pur organization(One refernce and other belongs to a plant)in your case 2000 and 1000 respectively.
    steps are:
    1) Both purchasing organizations(2000 and 1000) are maintained in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure under Definition-Materials-Management- Maintain Purchasing Organization.
    2)The reference purchasing organization 2000 can be maintained with or without a company code and plant(s).
    3)The purchasing organization 1000 is assigned to plant 1000.
    4)Purchasing organization 2000 is maintained as the reference purchasing organization for the purchasing organization 1000 in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure .
    Now suppose a vendor X is maintained for both purchasing organizations.
    material M is maintained for the plant 1000.
    Now  A centrally agreed contract has been created without a plant by the reference purchasing organization 2000.
    An employee belonging to the purchasing organization 1000 creates a purchase requisition for the plant 1000.
    The purchasing department(1000) processes the requisition and carries out a source determination procedure.
    The contract of the reference purchasing organization(2000) is determined as a valid source.
    SO it is the contract which will be used by pur org 1000 (contract belongs to 2000).
    if you want to raise a PO using ref pur org 2000 and plant 1000 then you have to assign 1000 plant to 2000.
    i hope it is clear now.
    regards
    Yogesh
