Cross company purchasing and profit centre substitutions

Hi Gurus,
I am setting up cross company purchasing, which all appear to work sweet except for the profit centre determinations.
As the delivery creates from a purchase order rather than a sales order, the profit centre substituions rules available via transacion 0KEM do not appear to apply.  For good visibility of results we would like our intercompany transacitons to be posted to a different profit centre than than standard profit centre of the material. Any suggestions?
thanks,
Brian Rowley

For intercompany STOs you need to do following settings.
1) After creating a vendor for supplying plant, you need to assign supplying plant in XK02 to vendor.
2) Supplying plant need to be extended to company code of receiving plant in XD01.
Then you should not be getting this problem.
Thanks,

  • Cross-Company purchasing - Release 4.6C

    Hi All,
    The issue we are experiencing is specifically to do with SAP cross company purchasing, where we specifically want to raise a purchase order in company A against an outside vendor but against a cost centre in company B (no stock transfer involved) We also have 2 different purchasing organizations.
    What needs to happen is the following:
    1)     At goods receipt stage we need to get the following posting (against profit centres) u2013 this is working perfectly right now
    In Company code B:
    Debit Expense (against profit centre 2)
    Credit Inter-company (against profit centre 3)
    In Company code A:
    Debit Inter-company (against profit centre 1)  
    Credit GR/IR account (against profit centre 1)
    2)     At Invoice stage we need to get the following posting (against profit centres) u2013 this is not working right now and this is where we need the help
    In Company code A only:
    Credit Vendor account (against profit centre 1) u2013 forced through with substitution - working
    Debit GR/IR account (still sitting against the profit centre 2 u2013 we need this to be profit centre 1) u2013 not working
    Debit VAT account (against profit centre 1) - forced through with substitution u2013 working
    All we want is the expense leg to sit in company B against their profit centres. The rest of the postings we want in company A against their 1 profit centre. 
    Thank you very much for any ideas.

  • To validate no cross-company purchase order in F-47

    Dear Gurus,
    I would like to ask if there is any user exit / BADI that can be used  to validate no cross-company Purchase Order(s) being entered in transaction F-47 : Down payment request.
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks & regards,

    The reason for error message M8396 "Deviating local currencies &&"
    is explained in note 317318:
    "You enter a cross-company-code invoice. Here, all involved company
    codes must have the same (first) local currency."
    In the MM module it is not possible to post a cross company invoice
    for company codes with different local currency. As you are aware the
    error message is M8396 issued.
    M8 396 was introduced in the system by note 317318 to prevent posting
    cross company invoices with deviating local currencies and to prevent
    inconsistencies in FI from docs posted from MM. This type of complex
    posting is ONLY supported in the FI module. For more information on this
    error message please also review note 321790.
    You will not be able to post the invoice document with the company codes

  • Assign Plant to a GL Account and Profit Centre

    Where do I assign a plant to a GL account and Profit Centre.

    Hi,
    a plant is not direct assigned to a profit-center and not to a G/L account.
    A plant is assigned to a company code (in customizing), a GL account can be created (account master data) within a company code (if its used in this CC), a profit-center is assigned to one/more company codes (profit-center master data).
    In material master / costing 1 view (which is plant related) you can assign a material to a profit center, thus all postings in one plant related to this material belong to this profit center.

  • Cross-company purchasing

    Hi,
    In my company we have a scenario where one purchasing org serving 2 co.code. This has been set up nicely in ECC, and we suppose to have the same scenario in SRM as well.
    First, I do this:
    a. Create company A and company B
    b. Create org unit below A which is linked to central purchasing org X in backend,
    c. Making sure that attribute BUK (Co.code) A, B assigned to purchasing org X.
    d. Create org unit below purch org X, and linked to purchasing group Y in backend,
    e. Create person Z below purchasing group Y, the attribute BUK of A, B is inherited to him.
    Using user id Z I make a test, create PO using cost center in co.code B, and it works well, the PO created passed to backend using purch org X, co.code B
    When testing creating PO using cost center in co.code A, it fail. It seems that somehow co.code B is defaulted in PO, and it trigger error saying cross-company purchasing not allowed (I think because I'm using PO with co.code B to charge Cost center in A).
    At first I hope that setting BOTH co.code for the purchaser will lead SAP to use location to derive the co.code, but I was wrong. SAP still take the FIRST co.code it found in the attribute.
    Then, I plan to use BADI for document change; and to my suprise there is no way to change the co.code in the BADI. So I'm stuck in here as well.
    Lastly, I did this:
    a. Moving purch org X (and all below, including purch group Y and person Z) to the root,
    b. I remove the attribute BUK in the purchasing org
    With this I hope that SAP cannot find the co.code from attribute and for the last resort derive the co.code from the location.
    Then when creating the PO, I got error message that SAP cannot derive co.code, and cannot continue
    Then I'm in dead end now. Is it really NOT possible to have central purchasing in SRM? This seems to be wrong. I mean as SRM is targeted to make procurement simple and regulated, it sure SHOULD think about central purchasing. Even in ECC we can have a central procurement serving 2 company codes.
    Or is there any other way? Appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.
    Best regards,
    John

    This is related to change co.code in PO. SAP give note 1079525 as how to change web dynpro so field co.code will appear and letting purchaser to choose co.code. This has solved our issue

  • Cross company Purchase

    Hi Gurus,
    It there a standard way of blocking cross company purchase order with some error message ?
    So far it is possible to create the purchase order, receive the purchase order and then we are blocked in the invoice, it would be nice to be blocked in the purchase order. We dont want to do the OBYA customizing.
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    Yes company code is at the header level but you can make a purchase order on two different plant that belongs to two different companies. I want to allow a purchase order with different plants if they belong to the same company. And i want to forbid a purchase with different plants if they belong to different companies.
    I know i can ask a developper to do a check in a customer exit but i am sure (i think) that sometime when trying to do such a purchase order i had some blocking message like "Cross-company purchase order not allowed" or something like that
    But i can't find a way to activate this message

  • Cross Company Purchase / Sales Header Condition Posting to AP

    Hi All Expert,
    I don't know whether it is SD question or not,
    My company already config Cross-Company Purchase, for STO Purchase Order, and create DN using VL10b.
    Once create Invoice using VF01, it will generate AR and AP invoice using the EDI.
    The question is, now I want to add a surcharge to the AR and AP invoice.
    It is the percentage of the total amount base on the Material type, so I've add a condition table using VK11.
    Its work fine from retrieve the percentage and calculate the surcharge amount.
    I've also config the Account Key and generate the AR document successfully.
    However, I've no idea how to add the surcharge in the AP invoice side....
    I think it need to config the EDI.. but I cannot find the Account Assignment for the surcharge.
    Please give more information how to implement the surcharge.
    Thanks.
    Terry

    I've done it by another method.

  • Cross company purchases in SRM 7.0

    Hi all,
    We recently upgraded from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0.
    Can anyone confirm whether we can configure cross company purcahses in SRM 7.0?
    For SRM 5.0,I saw few threads which suggested use of BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADi to change the purchasing group but in SRM 7.0 is this part of std configuration?
    Pls advise.
    Thanks for your time.

    What do you mean by "cross company purchasing" ?
    You buy some materials between plant A1 from company code A and supplying plant B1 from company code B ?
    If so, there is no limitation for this kind of purchase, neither in SRM 5.0, nor in SRM 7.0

    There is no link in SRM between company code and purchasing groups. Purchasing groups are only linked to Purchasing Organization with cardinalities :
    1 Purch. Org : n Purch. Groups
    1 Purch. Group : 1 Purch. Org
    For more details regarding purchasing groups, see thread below:

  • Cost centre and Profit centre in one query - Authorisations not working!

    Hiya,
    I have another problem related to Analysis Authorisations.
    I have created an AA with Cost Centre and Profit centre access restricted to a certain node of a hierarchy (type 1 - this node and below). For example, the User can only run a query at Cost Centres level of Country Belgium - the query works fine. Now, the user wants to drill down by the relevant Profit centres. According to the log, the system checks for Profit centres like * and says the user is not authorised. All this, despite the fact that all Profit centres belong to country Belgium and user has been given access to see these profit centres.
    What do I need to do to enable drilldown by Profit centre? I can't make a "*" access to Profit centre as the user will be able to run other queries at global level, which is not what I can allow.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I don't know if it is relevant, but I had a similar problem when I had two characteristic each with hierarchy restrictions in one authorization object.
    I "solved" it by separting each characteristic into its own authorization object.

  • Sales Documents and Profit Centre and GL Accounts

    Currently a when we create a sales document for a plant, that document is posting to a specific GL account (Cash on Hand account) and profit centre. In VKOA, the Account Assignment Group is assignment to a GL Account, and that AAG is assigned to the material master. I want to find out how SAP is currently determining to which profit centre and GL Account it is posting to. The only thing that I can get is the Plant and sales office in the Sales document. I want to know the determination factor
