Hi,
What you need to do is:
In SPRO->Org.Structure->Definition->Materials Management->Maintain
Purch. Org. you need to "declare" all your Purch. Orgs.
In "SPRO->Org.Structure->Assignment->Materials Management->Assing
Purch. Org. to company code" you must NOT assign your corporal Purch.
Org to any company.
In the Plant assignment screen assign your corporal Purch. Org to all
the relevant Plants.
In this kind of hierarchy you make all the purchasing activities
(contracts, PO's etc.) for this purch org.
Thats all.
In the case that you have 2 level hierarchy: one corporal and many
company\plant assigned purch. orgs you need to do additional step.
After assigning a "small" purch. orgs to the plants and companies you
can assign them to "reference" Purch Org. (that not assigned itself to
any plant/company) in the ""SPRO->Org.Structure->Assignment->Materials
Management->Assing Purch. Org. to reference Purch. Org."
That kind of hierarchy allows you to make a contracts at the "reference"
org. level and use them in PO's by the lowest purch. orgs.
Hope that it will help.
Regards,
Udaya.

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 and Company Code

Currently we have one Purchasing organization(0001) (linked to) for multiple Company Codes(LE) for all of Americas
Now for a new implementation in Europe we are thinking of having one more Purchasing Organization for another multiple(10-12)company Codes.
Now the Questions is:
1) Should we just go with One Purchasing Org across all the Company codes in terms of SAP Pros and Cons
2) Or we should have 2 Purchasing Org one each for Europe and US.
What are the Pros and Cons within SAP for having 1 Purchasing Org for two different countries(can we have issues like Currency,Doc type,etc)

Hi,
Vendor Master data at P Org level is maintained with Vendor CUrrency, Terms of payment, INCOterms, Schema group (for pricing), etc. which are for sure, critical for procurement process. When the currency is getting changed from USD to EUR, you may not want to club these into one which could lead to issues in payment processing.
Downside of this is data maintenance. extension of vendors, inforecords etc to new P Org
This doesn't mean SAP can not handle multiple currencies even though vendor currency is USD, in PO, you can order in EUR....I have seen, buyers breaking their heads in handling this currency issues (most of the times spending a lot of time on manually working out these issues in the PO)
Advantage of having single POrg:
Data maintenance. No extension of vendor to new porgs is required....Of course, Company code extension has to be done anyway

SRM 7.0 Central Contract-For Centralized Purchasing Scenario

Hello Experts
Is it possible to set up a corporate (read Centralized) Purchasing strategy, where in One Central purchasing organization creates and manages Central contracts for various Plants assigned to different company codes using SRM 7.0 with ECC Backend?
Tried to set this scenario up by assigning Purchase organization directly to Plants (in ECC) but the Contracts were failing during replication in ECC.
Any inputs on this are appreciated.
Thanks
Raman.
Note: Contracts went through successfully in ECC after assigning the Purchasing organization to Company code.

Hi,
Please check this.
SPRO -> Enterprise structure -> Assignment ->
Logistics - General -> Assign Plant to company code.
Assign plant to company code
In the IMG activity "Assignment Plant - Company Code" you assign each plant to a company code.
A plant can only belong to one company code.
Note
Complete functionality of the system can only be ensured if the plants assigned to a company code are only those situated in the same country as the company code.
It is therefore recommended that you also create a company code for each country in which a plant is situated.
Examples
Only then are tax postings created when transferring stock between plants in different countries.
The taxation procedure and Intrastat declaration are supported only for the country of the company code.
Requirements
Before you can assign plants to company codes, you must define the valuation control.
You may change the valuation control in the production system only after contacting your SAP consultant. Changes may cause inconsistencies in documents.
Actions
Assign your plants to company codes.

Masa

Advantages and disadvantages for having the central purchasing organization

Hi all,
Cud neone list out the advantages and disadvantages of having central purchasing organization.
and what is the best practice of selecting the puchasing organization.
Thanks

Hi
Cud neone list out the advantages and disadvantages of having central purchasing organization.
Rather than asking for the advantages and disadvantages it will be helpful if u see why the functionality of having the purchase organisation centrally and decentralised has been provided in SAP. I hope u have seen the help file in ur SAP about purchase organisation.
The point u can note down which will be of importance is Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing. if u go for the centralised purchasing organisation say in company code u have three plants and purchasing organisation is for all theree plants, then the conditions and inforecords holds for all the thrre plants. If u go for the decentralised say for each plant different purchse organisation then each plant has its own inforecords and conditions. This is upto the business requirement which u should select.
Similarly u can use this logic for the following cases
Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing.
Each purchasing organization has its own vendor master data.
Each purchasing organization evaluates its own vendors using MM Vendor Evaluation.
Authorizations for processing purchasing transactions can be assigned to each purchasing organization.
All items of an external purchasing document, that is, request for quotation, purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement, belong to a purchasing organization.
The purchasing organization is the highest level of aggregation (after the organizational unit "client") for purchasing statistics.
The purchasing organization serves as the selection criterion for lists of all purchasing documents.
Here u can apply the logic and see how centralised and decentralise purchasing organisation effects. Whethe u want the data should be applicable for all plants then go for centralised if not go for decenralised.
what is the best practice of selecting the puchasing organization.
I think there is no best practice as such and it depends on how u r company business works.
I welcome the comments from experts if there is any best practice.
Thanks

Not able to get data from Reference Purchase Organization

Hi,
    the scenario is
Need to have one global pur. org for 3 company codes and
one each company code specific purchase org.
so i created Z300 as a ref purchasing org
and created Z100 for a specific company 3000 n assigned to it
and assigned Z100 to ref purchase org Z300
and i created a vendor master with Z300 purchase org n company code 3000
but when i creating a PO with ME21n
when i enter the vendor and Z100 as the purchase org ...it tells me that vendor is not maintained for Z100.
( but as per the documentation the data shud come from ref. purchase org ? isnt that true)
and
when i enter the vendor and Z300 as the purchase org and enter the material and plant it says
plant is not maintained for Z300 ..? i understand this ...the correct process is the first one ..
can nyone let me know y this error is coming ....is there anything i am missing in assigning.
thanks a bunch

purchasing staff of your enterprise to work with conditions and contract
release orders on a cross-purchasing-organization basis.
It is then possible for:
o The conditions of a reference purchasing organization to be used by
   other purchasing organizations for the purpose of price determination
o Several purchasing organizations to access the contracts of a certain
   reference purchasing organization
You have to maintianed the vendor for all the Pur org for which you want to use
the ref pur org will come inthe picture when you create the contract at global level means at ref pur org so all other pur org can use the same contract.
So if you creating PO for your std pur org then you have to maintain the vendor and you can refer the contract from ref pur org

Centralized purchase organization

Dear All,
we have the scenario that one centralized purchase orgnaization is there which is responsible for the negotiation with vendor so after negotiation with vendor they will create the contract and this can be used by other purchase orgnizations. Now system is not allowing to create the conract without company code (ME31K) and when we refer this contract in the PO it should not allow to change the price in purchase order whether this can be achived? we have different plant assigned to different company codes.
Regards
Ramakant

Hi,
Create a Centralised Purchasing organisation - CPO in SPRO
In the assignment
Assign --CPO to the company code
Assign -CPO to the different plants say PLT1 ,PLT2 Etc
Create Purchasing info record for the material and plant combination
Now create a Contract and check

SRM - Centralized Purchasing Organization

We have Centralized Shoppers Organization Structure where they have one plant attached to each of their profile at this time inheriting from the header node . With our highlevel reorganization within the company , shoppers will be now shopping for multiple Plant Codes.
How can we set-up their profile to accomadate multiple plant codes and how can we mitigate the risk of not selecting the right plant code in a shopping cart ? Eg I have 3 plant codes 1000 , 2000 and 3000. And now its defaulted to 1000 and the shopper is shopping for 2000 how can we make sure that they are selecting the right plant code .
is there a possiblity of pulling the plant code from the Cost Center or any cost object i select in the plant code ?? or any other designs used commonly around teh Central Purchasing Organization.
Any inputs appreciated .
Edited by: Priyalakshmi Bhuvanendran on Jun 15, 2010 10:28 PM

Hi there,
Regarding "pulling the plant code from the Cost Center"
You could code this in the DOC_CHANGE_BADI so that it would automatically be inserted.
You could use the DOC_CHECK_BADI to do the checks, i.e. you could set up a check on what cost centre has been entered and if the incorrect plant has been inputed then put out an error message.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
Matthew

Purchase Order - Default Company Code depending on Purchasing Org in Me21n

Hi Gurus,
I have requiremnet to default Company code to a value depending on Purchasing Organisation in Purchase Order Create/Change Transaction ME21n , ME22n.,( Also -ME31K, ME32K )
Purchasing Org and Company code can be seen in Me21n -> Header -> Org . Data Tab

Hello AVI,
U can use the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST.
In that there is one method Process_header.
From there u can do all the things that u need in the header part of the Purchase Order.
I think the Below User Exit can also be used :
MM06E004.

Help purchasing org, plants & company codes

Hi Gurus,
I have the following scenario which need some advice and clarification from all of you.
Plant A is assigned to company code A
Plant B is assigned to company code B
*Note that company code A and company code B are using different currency
PO is to be raised out of company code A and deliver to plant B. That is the Bill to address is to company code A and delivery address will be plant B address.
I tried assigned both plants to the same purchasing org A, and input company code A in company code field and plant B in the plant field as PO data. And encounter the following error "Please only use plants with local currency XXX" where XXX currency is the currency used by company code A.
Is this method incorrect? If yes, can someone advise me the right approach to handle such purchasing scenario?
Thanks.
New@SAP

Hi Jürgen L,
the reason why they get company code A to pay for the plant B purchase is because company code A acts as a regional headquarters, sometimes it could be cheaper to procure in the country of company code A due to the tax issues. Hence, plant B is getting company code A to purchase on their behalf.

Is it possible to create a WBS without Company code

Hello,
I am a SAP CRM guy and I am creating a WBS in PS system from CRM Campaigns.
My question is whether its possible to create a WBSE without having a Comapny code?
The reason we need this is because we are planning campaigns at a very high level and later we want to procure for these cmapaings at multiple company codes and cost centers through SRM. So we do not want to restrict the WBSE to one comapny code.
Regards,
Vicky

Hi Ammar,
The reason this scenario does not seem to be feasible is we have a one to one relationship between campaigns and WBSEs. Creating multiple WBSEs would translate as creating multiple campaigns, which we want to avoid at the first place as this increases the amount of data entry for planning and planning will become based on the procurement we is not the right way.
However, atleast I am sure now that I cannot have WBSE without company code.
Abdul,
Now I am thinking whether its possible to create a Project instead of WBSE and then procure wrt project?
I need to check the possibility of creating project from a campaign, but from the procument perspective, do you know if its possible to procure wrt project?
Thanks & Regards,
Vicky

One Purchase Contract from Several Purchase Requisitions

Hi Experts,
I have a problem, I want to make one purchase contract from several purchase requisitions. Here, some of PR's are of same material and some PR belong to different material. What we want that same Material should be clubbed together in one line and diffrenent material code should come in diffrent line.
Regards
GR

Gi,
if you are creating the contract manually and still want to see the PRs used.
then i suggest you to maintain the detauils in the texts which are not used for printing and could be used for information purpose.
one thing that this is manualy created so PR in system will not show the assigned and will remain open.

IDOC - create SD Contract from a Purchase Order

Hi,
I need to know if exist an IDOCs to create a SD Contract from a Purchase Order and another IDOC to change a Purchase Order from a SD Contract.
Regards,

Hi again,
1. PO will create ORDERS IDOC this is SAP Standard.
2. ORDERS IDOC will be send
3. IDOC Segment E1EDK14 qualifier 12 contains the order type. A contract is also a type of sales order. So we need to get the correct order type in the segment. One option is using the userexit proposed earlier another and even easier is asking the XI colleagues to do the change already in XI.
4. During Inbound processing the contract will now be created.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/cf/ab3827940311d295e600a0c9306667/frameset.htm
You will send a ORDRSP from your Contract (I made a mistake earlier and said ORDCHG this would be the update of the contract from the PO...)
I think you will need to worry to much of the ORDRSP on the SD side as in fact the IDOC does not care if it is send from order or from a contract.
Depending on your configuration in MM it will update the PO.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/1c/deffb0844f11d2b471006094b9476a/frameset.htm
Bascally in regards to quantity you will need to do more on the MM side because usually it is not expected that the Vendor is chnaging quantities etc... So it is still possible:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/1c/deffb0844f11d2b471006094b9476a/frameset.htm
By the way we are having the scenario with the contract in our SAP sending ORDRSP and ORDCHG for contracts and it is working fine.
Hope it helps.
