Plant and purchasing organization

Hi all,
I have two questions. Hope anybody can help me out.
1. Do we assign a plant to a purchasing organization or assign a purchasing organization to a plant?
2. Can I assign a plant to multiple purchasing organizations?
thx

Hi,
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
2)Assign purchasing organization to plant
In this IMG activity, you assign purchasing organizations to the plants for which they are responsible.
You have the following options:
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.
Depending on the form you have chosen, assign your purchasing organization(s) to the respective plant(s).
Rewards welcome
Thanks & Regards

How do we link the central organizational unit and purchase organization i

hi friends
How do we link the central organizational unit and purchase organization in SUS configuration?

The workflow process is associated to the transaction you select by parameters in the function call.
The Responsibility 9e.g. employee self service) is linked to a menu. The menu contains (amongst other things) functions. If the function is associated to a menu prompt, then when the user clicks on the prompt (e.g. Change Job) the function is invoked. When the function is invoked, it calls the workflow described in the function call.
The function will already (out of the box) point to a workflow process. If you have customised your own process, you will need to amend the function call to call your workflow name.
Look at the function in question and you will see what I mean.
Hope that helps explain it!

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.Pur org assigned to Co code :
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. Assigning Pur org to plants :
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 . generally as per SAP standard system, Pur org must be assigned to plant but can be assigned to cocode.

Authorization based on plant and Purchase order document type

Hi
My client has a requirement wherein a user will have authorization for transactions only in his plant. But only for Purchase order document type UB (Stock Transport Order) the user should be allowed to create for all plants.
In short, if Purchase order document type is UB, should be allowed for all plants
if Purchase order document type is NB, should be allowed to only one particular plant.
My Basis person says that such a restriction is not possible.
Kindly suggest me on how to provide a solution to this.
Thank U.

Hi,
This is possible.In this case you need to create two seperate roles.
1)Create purchase order for all plants (This can be used in long text)
2)Create purchase order for <plant no> plants.
For case 1:--
i)Populate field BSART of M_BEST_BSA with UB.
ii)Populate field WERKS of M_BEST_WRK with '*'. SAP reccomends to fill up organizational data through organizational level tab only.So while doing this step you need to put * from organizational level tab only.
For case 2:--
i)Populate field BSART of M_BEST_BSA with NB.
ii)Populate field WERKS of M_BEST_WRK with 'plant no'.
Dont worry about the objects i mentioned those are maintained through SU24 and will be automatically pulled once you insert ME21 transaction code.
Let me know if it helps.
Thanks,
Aveek

Division and purchase organization

Is there any way we can get division from purchase organization,vendor or plant. I was asked to run a report for some divisions and plants but in the selection screen i see only purchase org, vendor,pant and posting date . I guess we cant find division from these values . Am i correct?

Hi,
You can join tables TVKO and TVKOS to get division based on purchase organization by linking sales organization.

G/L account and Purchasing Organization

Hi,
I am new to SRM and have the following problem. I have the Item GUID. For this item, I want to get the G/L account in the program that I am writing.
1)Is there any function module that can give me the G/L account number for that item? or what tables do I need to query to get the G/L account for a particular line item?
2) From which table will I get the Purchasing Organization description? There are tables that give the 3 character Purchasing Organization, but I want the whole description for eg "Moses Sparks". How do I map the Header GUID to this Puchasing Organization and what tables do I need to query to get the Puchasing Org? Are there any function modules that give the Purchasing Org?
Thanks in advance,
Jayesh

Hello Jayesh,
For Purch Org & Group descriptions, you can look at following thread:
Purchasing Group Text
For accounting data, you can use the same logic: use function BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL for SC details, or BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL for PO details.
In table E_ACCOUNT, you can find the GL account, linked to the item GUID via field P_GUID (parent GUID).
If you don't want to use the FM, but direct access to tables, then you must follow the data model:
item GUID --> CRMD_ORDERADM_I --> CRMD_LINK (with correct fields to get the accounting set) --> BBP_PDACC with this SET_GUID.

Questions: Vendor Account Group and Purchasing Organization

Dear SAP experts,
I'm just a novice user and would like to have your advice on the following questions:
1. How to change Vendor Account Group
Vendor has been created already with wrong account group. Can we change account group??
2. How to add Purchasing Organization
Vendors have been created without purchasing organization. When we try to raise contract, error msg. mentioned that "There is no purchasing organization for this vendor number"
Can we add purchasing organization to that vendors?? If so, could you pls let me know the procedure.
Thanks with rgds,
Su

Hello,
Changing Vendor Account Group is not possible. Block the wrongly created vendor (FK05) & create a new vendor under correct group (FK01). Transfer all the balances from wrong vendor to new vendor code.
Use Transaction code XK01 to extend the Vendor to purchasing organization. XK01 would allow to enter purchasing view of the vendor.

Decision for Plant and Purchase Org

Hi ,,
Till time we have single centralized purchase organization but now our client wants to have different procurement departments to handle procurements for different areas.
We have suggested them to have different purchase organization for that. BUT wondering how a procurement department will know whether a PR raised by user department belongs to them or not.
I can think of different document type ( and so number series ) of PR for different procurement department but in that case chances are very high that PR user can select wrong PR document type while creating PR.
Client wants to have a rigid control on that.
Can u suggest any soln so that user of particular department can create PRs of selected document types ?
Regards
Shrey

If you have created PR Document types Based on the USer Departments like Service, Stores, Production, D&D etc then You can Restrict Users by using PR Doc types by Authorization.
Please Communicate your BASIS guy and fulfil your Requirement.

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.
Regards,
VB Rao

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,

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.

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
Ravi
