Dif between normal purchase organisation,std pu org and ref pu org

hi
what is the dif between purchase organisation, standard purchase organisation and reference purchase organisation.

Let me add some more...
Normal P.org is to procure either for the plant/entire company code/cross company level based upon assignement settings in SPRO.
for Ref.P.org, it will be simply assigned to other normal P.orgs only but neither assigned to any plant or company code.This is useful to enjoy the corporate contracts and their price benifits.
regarding Std.P.org, it is simply to handle procurement of special stocks if i am not wrong.
Hope this gives straight understanding in simple words.
regards,
arun

Relation between a Purchase Organisation and Reference PORg

Hi ,
1) Can any one explain me what is the relation between a Purchase Organisation and Reference Purchase Organistion.
2) I have removed the assignment of Purchase organisation 1000 to the Reference POrg 6666 . I want to do the testing in development server after making the above configuation change. Can any one let me know how to do the testing to see that this configuration change is taken place?.
Thanks in advance.

hi
Ref. Pur Organisation is used when there is no centralized pur. organisation. You have to define 1 pur. organsation as refernce pur. organisation and link other pur orgnisations to this ref. pur. orgaisation. When you create a contract using this pur. organisation and this contract can be used by other pur orgasations which are linked to this ref. pur oganisation.
Ref. Pur Organisation is basically used for better negotiation.
Eg- You are having 2 plants (A & B) of 2 different company code(A & B).
1. Pur org A is assigned to company code A & plant A
2. Pur Orga B is assigned to company code B & plant B.
3. Ref pur organisation C is created and linked to Pur organisation A and B.
Scenario -
Vendor A can supply Material A 1000 qty at Rs. 100 whereas more than 1000 qty at Rs. 90.
But your requirement for Plant A is Rs. 800 and Plant B is Rs.700
If you create a contract on plant basis to the Vendor A then you have to pay Rs. 100.
But if you create a contract with ref pur organisation C for total requirement of Rs.1500 without plant basis then rate will be only Rs.90.
Then this contract can referred by both the plant and can be converted to P.O at Rs.90.

Transacting between Serialized Org and Non Serialized Org

Hi
I have a general question on serialization I am hoping that someone can help me with.
If you have any inventory org where items are serialized and another inventory org where the same items are not serialized will this cause a problem if you transact between the two orgs?
For example you could ship an item from the serialized org into the non serialzed org or vice versa.
Can oracle handle this?
Regards
Sundeep
Edited by: user7575824 on Sep 11, 2009 5:19 PM

Should not be a big deal.
When you ship from the serialized org, you will have to enter the serial number.
Oracle will issue that serial number out of stores.
When you do the receipt in non-serialized org, it won't ask you for a serial number.
However you have to make sure that the attribute control for Serial Number Genertaion is set at org level.
(Inventory > Setup > Items > Attribute Controls)
Hope this answers your question

Purchasing organisation

What is the difference between Reference Purchasing organisation and Central Purchasing organisation.

Vishal
See these examples
Reference Purchasing Organisation
A purchasing organization whose conditions or contracts other purchasing organizations linked to it may access and use.
A reference purchasing organization can make especially favorable conditions or contracts available to other purchasing organizations.
Example
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/0b/ecb237e29bc368e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Central Purchasing Organisation
Centralized/Distributed Purchasing
You can organize your purchasing function in the following ways:
Centralized purchasing, with just one purchasing organization
Distributed purchasing, with a number of different purchasing organizations each responsible for different plants
You could also look this configuration on How to maintain Purchase Organisation
Maintain purchasing organization
In this step, you set up your purchasing organizations.
From the Materials Management and Purchasing view, the purchasing organization is responsible for all purchasing activities (including the processing of requests for quotations and purchase orders, for example).
The purchasing organization is integrated within the organizational structure as follows:
A purchasing organization can be assigned to several company codes.
(= Corporate-group-wide purchasing).
A purchasing organization can be assigned to one company code.
(= Company-specific purchasing).
A purchasing organization can also exist without being assigned to a company code.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the latter can be determined via the plant at the time of each procurement transaction even if the procuring purchasing organization has not been assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants.
(= Plant-specific purchasing).
A purchasing organization can be linked to one or more other purchasing organizations.
(= reference purchasing organization)
For more on this topic, refer to Assign Purchasing Organization to Reference Purchasing Organization.
A purchasing organization can be divided into several purchasing groups that are responsible for different operational areas.
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.
Possible organizational forms
You can organize your purchasing function in the following ways:
Corporate-group-wide purchasing
Company-specific purchasing
Plant-specific purchasing
All of these forms can co-exist within a single client.
Corporate-group-wide purchasing:
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of different company codes.
In this case, you do not assign a company code to the purchasing organization, but specify the company code concerned for each individual purchasing transaction. You assign plants from different company codes to the purchasing organization.
Company-specific purchasing:
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of just one company code.
In this case, you assign a company code to the purchasing organization. The purchasing organization may procure only for this company code. You assign only plants of the company code concerned to the purchasing organization.
Plant-specific purchasing:
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of one plant.
In this case, you assign the plant and the company code of the plant to the purchasing organization. The purchasing organization may procure for this plant only.
Note
If you wish to work with a mixture of the above organizational forms, the reference purchasing organization is of significance to you.
It is possible to allow one purchasing organization to access the contracts and conditions of another - a so-called reference purchasing organization. This makes it possible for advantageous terms negotiated by one purchasing organization to also be used by other purchasing organizations.
Recommendation
Purchasing organization 0001 is already preset in all dependent tables.
SAP recommends that you retain this number if you require only one purchasing organization.
You will then have to customize only a few tables.
Hope this helps

Reference Purchasing Organisation in SRM

Hi there,
do you have any idea how to build a reference purchasing organisation in SRM? This reference purchasing organisation shall be used in MM for storing contracts centrally.
But as SRM shall be implemented as well a little bit later I would like to evaluate the impact. What is your experience with it?
Furthermore the question: Is it possible to assign 1 purchasing group to several purchasing organisations? Or must there be a 1:1 relationship in SRM? (in MM not necessary).
Thanks and regards
Britta

Reference pur. org. is created in the same way as pur. org. One has to assign pur. org. to ref. pur. org. to use the contracts created for ref. pur. org.
Pur. group is free floating entity in MM and has no linkage with pur. org.

Difference between Standard and Regular Purch Org

Hi Experts,
what is the difference between standar purch(used in pipeline procurement ,consignmnet and stock transfer)
org and regular purch org
Regards
Sameer

Hi,
If several purchasing organizations procure for a certain plant, you can define one of them as the standard purchasing organization for the transactions "pipeline procurement", "consignment" and "stock transfers".
In source determination for stock transfers and consignment, the system automatically utilizes this standard purchasing organization. In the case of goods issues of pipeline materials, the purchasing info records of the standard purchasing organization are read.

Diff between normal report and Smart forms

Hi Experts,
I am a fresher, i have only a basic knowledge in sap. please help me to improve my knowledge...
I have some doubts???
1) What the difference between normal report(created using SE38 interactive and classic) and smart forms report???
2) whether we will use any even in script and smart form???
Please do the needfull...
thanesh

Hi
in smartforms and in scripts we write a driver program to execute the smatform /script.
we can write the code in the smartform iteself also.
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc

STO between 2 Purchasing org

Hi experts ,
I have a client's requirement .i.e. One plant belongs to one Purch.org and other plant belongs to other Pur.Org within a company code.
Can we make STO between these 2 plants ? If yes , what are the settings that need to be carried out?
Please Explain.
With Regards
S.Siva

Hi Siva,
Just like Jurgen mentioned in his previous comments, I alos have a strong feeling that, P.Org does not create a issue.
in your scenario ensure following:
1. Define the Supplying plant as a Vendor say PXXXX for a P.Org1.
2. Assign the Plant under Venodr>Purchasing Data>Extra-->Additional purchasing data.
3. Carry out config under note spro>mm->Purchasing>PO> setup STO procedure> all the cofig i.e (Define Plant, Customer, shipping pt assignment, Denouement type to delivery type)
4. Define the Receiving Plant As Customer in the Supplying plant PXXX
5. Assign the Customer Value in STO config in SPRO.
6. Create the STO with Vendor as Supplying Plant.
Just check if you customer master has all the Parameter setup.
Hope this helps.
Thx

Questions regarding creation of vendor in different purchase organisation

Hi abap gurus .
i have few questions regarding data transfers .
1) while creating vendor , vendor is specific to company code and vendor can be present in different purchasing organisations within the same company code if the purchasing organisation is present at plant level .my client has vendor in different purchasing org. how the handle the above situatuion .
2) i had few error records while uploading MM01 , how to download error records , i was using lsmw with predefined programmes .
3) For few applications there are no predefined programmes , no i will have to chose either predefined BAPI or IDOCS . which is better to go with . i found that BAPI and IDOCS have same predefined structures , so what is the difference between both of them .

Hi,
1. Create a BDC program with Pur orgn as a Parameter on the selection screen
so run the same BDC program for different Put organisations so that the vendors
are created in different Pur orgns.
2. Check the Action Log in LSMW and see
3.see the doc
BAPI - BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) are the standard SAP interfaces. They play an important role in the technical integration and in the exchange of business data between SAP components, and between SAP and non-SAP components. BAPIs enable you to integrate these components and are therefore an important part of developing integration scenarios where multiple components are connected to each other, either on a local network or on the Internet.
BAPIs allow integration at the business level, not the technical level. This provides for greater stability of the linkage and independence from the underlying communication technology.
LSMW- No ABAP effort are required for the SAP data migration. However, effort are required to map the data into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.
Check your procedure using this Links.

Partner number of Purchasing organisation and group

Hi
I have to find the partner number of the Purchasing organisation and group to which a user is assigned. I have the partner number of the user.
I know that we can view this in PPOSA_BBP, I want to write a code to fetch this.
I have found the purchasing group of the user using BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_ORG_FROM_USER( here I have to pass the user name which I found from the partner number of the user using BUP_PARTNER_TO_USER_CONVERT.)
Eventually, once I have the partner number of Purchasing org and grp I have to fetch the address details using BUPA_ADDRESS_GET_DETAIL(this requires the partner number.)
Someone suggested me to use BAPI_ADDRESSORG_GETDETAIL but I dont know how to pass data in this bapi.
Please help me.

hi ,
consult your functional person some where they will assign link between purchasing organization -purchasing group--product category.
T024E - organization
T024 - groups
for exact solution get the link from where the configuration do.

Many Purchasing Organisation assigned to 1 Plant?

Hi all
This is going to be an easy question for all the expert here.
While I did some reference for Purchasing Organisation and Plant assignment, I realise that PLANT and P.Org has this M:N relationship.
I interpretate M:N as
(a) 1 PLANT to many P.Org or
(b) 1 P.Org to many PLANT
Questions
1. Does my Intepreation of M:N as above correct?
2. I do not think PLANT and P.Org has this M:N means Many to Many relationship as we cannot do so in SPRO. Please comment.
3. I have been seeing this 1 P.Org to many PLANT in the reference book but there is no actual business examples given to explain and also, I cannot find any such possible assignment in Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Materials Management -< Assign P.Org to Plant. Please advise the actual business example of this case and the SPRO path for this.
Thanks.

Hi Krishna
Thanks for clearing it up. Centralised P. Org is at the Company Level instead of the Company Code Level:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/75/ee0a9555c811d189900000e8322d00/Image191.gif]
Here is the summary:
1. Centralised P. Org = 1 single P. Org responsible for the purchasing of several CoCd. It can be seen in Cross-CoCd-P.Org
scenario. No assignment between CoCd and P.Org is required but the value of CoCd will be prompted for input during the
procurement activity.
2. Cross Plant P.Org (terms used in SAP Certification) is also known as Company-specific P.Org.
Questions:
1. I found out in the SAP Certification Material for the scenario of Plant Specific P. Org assignment with 2 Plants under 2 P. Org respectively, we are asked to "Assign just one plant of the company code to this purchasing organization under Assignment u2192 Materials Management u2192 Assign purchasing organization to plant."
Can't we assign all the plants used (under 1 Company Code) to the individual pairing P.Org 1 by 1? Is this SAP standard config feature to ease consultant?

Two purchasing organisations for one user

Hi Experts,
We are running SRM 4.0, extended classic scenario with a large international setup.
I have an issue with purchaser that need to be able to shop for two different pur. orgs. in two different company codes (A & B).
I have added both A & B in the Company Code attribute for the user.
And I have made both the local purchasing groups for A & B responsible for the purchaser.
When I create a SC I can select whether to use Company code A & B and I can select the matching Purchasing Group. When I finish the shopping cart the order is created in SRM with correct the Local Purchasing Organisation which the Pur. Group I chose belongs to.
But when it is tranfered to R/3 it is allways assigning pur. org. A. (also if the order in SRM has local pur. org. B). This results in a error, if the purchase wants to make a purchase for Company B.
Is it not possible in SRM to able to chose more than one backend pur. org.?

Hej igen, Anders.
I don't suppose you have found a solution here?
What I was thinking is, that you should try using the GUID of the purchase order from SRM and use it in the function module BBP_PD_PO_TRANSFER_EXEC_V2 to test which data are getting sent from SRM to R/3. You know you can find the GUID of the PO from transaction BBP_PD with BUS2201, and this GUID is the only thing needed to test the function module. This FM is sending your shopping cart/PO data from SRM to R/3, so if you can debug this to see that here the p org is correct, you would know that the error occurs in R/3.
On the other hand you could also see in BBP_PD for the purchase order in SRM if the p org is already wrong here?
Cross buying is possible, so hopefully you get to find your error. Otherwise post a reply here, we'll figure something else out.

Purchase organisation Field in Vendor master data

Hi All
During the creation of Vendor master ,Needs to make the Field Purchase organisation as a mandatory. I have checked the in the following configs.
Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors
Define Screen Layout per Company Code (Vendors)
Define Account Group and Field Selection (Vendor)
The option is not available. for the above requirement.
thanks & Regards
DP

In many companies the address data is maintained by different people than accounting data and purchasing org data.
I would not like that accountants to create my purchasing org data, and I am certain that my accountants dont want the buyer to create his accounting data.
if you could make this combination mandatory, then the user would have to maintain all screens at the same time, which may result in delays. as he can only start once he has all data available. SAP standard allows to create a vendor with general data and purchasing org data and purchasing can start buying. the company code data is only needed in the moment the goods arrive.
So you gain time to collect the data while you already started business.
Further, not all vendor master need to have purchasing org data. and not all vendors with purchasing org views need a company code view.
e.g. a restraunt may send you bills for lunch, but you do not place purchase orders with this restaurant. No purchasing org view needed here.
a goods supplier, that is needed for Intrastat purposes only, does not need a company code view, as you will never get invoices from the goods supplier.

How to create vendors in the Purchasing organisation via mass change?

Hi,
I have a list of vendors which are created in a company code.
Now I need to create them in a purchasing organisation.
I think I can do that via a CATT with transaction XK01.
The required fields are "order currency" and terms of payment.
Is that a correct way?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hai, If u want to upload master records from legacy (non sap) to sap we have sum processors like (Lsmw ,Bdc .Ecatt and Scatt)
Normally Ecatt and scatt used for testing purpose not uploading but it has uploading functionality also.
Bdc is used Abaper's.
Most of the functional consultants uses lsmw
If it is use ful to u plz assign the points
