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?

  • 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.

  • User assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups

    Dear Experts,
    My issue is related to user assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups.
    According to the project requirement, we are using central purchasing organisation and we should create the purchasing organisations and purchasing groups locally. it is not reflected from the back end systems through RFC.
    Also we have one more team working with indirect materials and they also use SRM. They have already created the organisation model. Two projects are inter-related and belongs to same department in the company, but main different is one uses direct and the other in-direct materials.
    Now we should create our purchasing organisation and purchasing groups and assign the users to it.
    If we create it separately means not uder the main root and assign the users, we are able to create shopping cart till the contract. But when i create the new purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under the main root which is created for other project which deals with in-direct materails, i am not able to create shopping cart with the user. I am getting the error
    ' Process scheme could not be found
    Please let me know how to deal with this scenario. here i need to add the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under main root because of the reason that in the other project, purchasing organisation and purchasing groups defined needs to be accessed by our users as well. I mean the users should be able to access all the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups created under root node which gets the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups from the back end systems and the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups we created manually since we cant get it from back end system since it is central purchasing organisation.
    Please asvise

    Hello Masa,
    Thanks very much for your time and solution.
    Actually the problem was something else and was fixed.
    The reason for getting error 'Process schema was not yet defined' is because of missing definition of process schedma for the workflow since the process based workflow setting has been activated.
    So this has been resolved by copying the sap standard customizing BC set for SRM workflow using transaction SAPR20 and then process schema for workflow got configured or copied automatically from SAP BC set and the error was removed.
    Also the reason for error with user was that no purchaser assignment was done to the purchasing organisation and now it has been done and the users can access the SRM and create shopping cart and the contract.

    Srinath

  • Purchase service to Vendor assigned to a plant

    Hi experts,
    I want to do an internal po for a service material type (without plant view) to a vendor who is assigned to a Plant (vendor Master Data -> Adiotinal Purch. Data). Can't delete this assignment because I have a intercompany process wich uses this vendor.
    I can create po's with this document type for any vendor except those who are assigned to a plant.
    Any suggestions?
    When I try to make the po, those are the errors:

  • Purchase Organisation not copying to PR

    I am creating a PR thru MRP run (MD02) and PR is getting generated. My next step is to execute Auto PO creation using ME59N, but it was faling and I found that my earleir PR doesnot have Pur Org data in its line item.
    Eventhough I am having Purchase Org to Plant assignment in SPRO. Two purchase organisations are assigned to the plant.
    Can someone tell, why the purchase org is not copied to PR which is created during MRP run.
    Thanks
    Vineeth Varghese

    Dear Vineeth Varghese,
    The system behaviour is correct. For the Purchasing Requisition,
    Purchase Organization will be taken from Source List if you make
    Source determination.
    For MRP, Purchase Organization will only be taken from
    Source List.
    Hope this information will able to help you.

  • Purchasing Group - Assignment

    Hi
    Please advise me whether we can restrict Purchase group with Purchasing organisation and / or  Plant and /or  User.
    In a large Manufacturing company for example, we want to restrict the P.Group from generating P.orders for other plants than that of his own. ( broad example)...
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Is it possible for us to assign P.group to the user

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I checked boxes

  • Multi Company Code Purchasing Organisation Config

    Hi All,
    We're creating one corporate purchasing organisation, which will serve multiple company codes.
    Reading the documentation for the activity 'Assign Purchasing Organisation to Company Code' it says that for such a scenario, you can assign a purchasing organisation to no company code. However, when we do this, we get the error 'Company Code does not exist' displayed in the 'status' column.
    Furthermore, in the IMG activity 'Assign purchasng organisation to Plant', we get the error 'Company Code of plant / purchasing organisation are not identical' in the 'status' column.
    When using ME21N to create POs, no plants are identified in the input help, and I suspect that it has something to do with the two IMG entries above - I would be grateful for any assistance / guidance.
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Link all your plants with your corporate purchase organisation using the following link in SPRO.
    SPRO >Enterprise Structure >Assignment>Materials Management>Assign Pur. organization to Plant
    Hope this will help you.

  • Multiple Purchasing organisations

    Dear SRM Gurus,
    We are on SRM 5.0
    Our backend R3 structure is as below:
    Plant 1----Company Code 1 -
    Purchasing org 1
    Plant2 -
    Company Code 2 --- Purchasing org 2
    We have created both Purchasing organisations in SRM and assigned the same buyer with different purchasing groups to each of the Purchasing orgs.
    Based on the location of the shopper, we want the purchasing organisation to default during the PO creation.
    Firstly how do we assign the same buyer user to both purch orgs?
    Secondly how on PO creation do we get the PO to default to the correct PO org and company code?

    Hi Deelan,
    for your first question: go and use trx POMA_BBP using "Purchaser Assignment"
    view for the PGroup.Have a look into SAP Note 836262 for details.
    After following the steps mentioned in the note, you will not find the purchaser´
    assigned to the PGroup in PPOMA_BBP itself (where the default view would be
    "Staff Assignment" view). The user would be still assigned to the other business
    org unit. But in BUB3, when you display the available "Relationship" for the
    purchaser's BP number, you would find a new "Is Employee of" relation to the
    PGroup (in addition to the business org unit which the user already had). Then
    the purchaser should be able to perform purchaser activities according to the role
    assignment.
    For the second, use BADI Assign Purchasing Groups to derive the right combi in
    your case.
    Cheers,
    Claudia

  • 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.
