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.

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?

Cross-intercompany purchasing --about goods receipt in the receiving plant

Hello, everyone.
In cross-intercompany purchasing process, the goods receipt in the receiving plant can not posted at the same time as the goods issue in the issuing plant, but i have done the relevant custom design in system, the path as below:
Material managementPurchasingPurchase orderSet up stock transport orderAssign document type, one step-procedure, underdelivery tolerance.
I selected the one step-procedure.
Anyone can tell me that's why ? thanks.
xinzhou.

There is no doupt that it is possible to do either a 1step or a 2step transfer between to companies.
you usually choose the one or the other based on the time needed for the transfer.
I have 2 legal entities at the very same physical place. So the goods do not even move physically while the ownership changes. In this case I use 1step.

Hi Purushothaman,
If you have the following settings in OPJK:
Plant                 XXXX
Order Type       XXXX
Availability Check    2
[X]Status Check
[X]Check material availability when saving order (may not need)
Checking Rule        PP PP checking rule
Component Check Type    ATP check
Release material     2 Release permitted despite missing parts
Then in COHV you try to mass release the order with the following parameter:
List: Order Header
Selection: Your selection criteria
Mass processing:
Function: Release
Max. No.of Processes 99
Save Log: Always
Release control order: Collective Order Release
Then after the order is released, you can find the missing part list of that order in CO03 menu path:
Goto->Missing Parts->Missing parts list
Hope it helps.

Purchase organisation

hi to all
i have one doubt. plz explain
step 1 : I assigned purchase organization to company code
step 2 : also assigned all plants belongs to company code to purchase organization
why two steps are needed. only step 2 also enough to procure all plants with single purchase organization. what is the nead of assignment of purchase organisation to company code?
pl explain
thanks and regards
ravi

Hi Ravi,
As Company Code can have a several Purchase Organizations,
Company Code is a legal entity and independent accounting unit in SAP. The balance sheets required by law and profit and loss statement are carried out at company code level.
A purchasing organization is an organizational unit that negotiates purchases on behalf of one or more plants. Purchasing organizations can be plant specific or cross company. The purchasing organizational structure can be used to determine whether purchasing is centralized or decentralized. 
So you need to Assign Purchasing Organization to Company Code and the Plants to purchasing organization.

Very imp purchase organisation and group

please provide me the exact differences between purchase organisation and purcahse group.
regards

Dear,
A purchasing group is a key for a buyer or a group of buyers who are responsible for purchasing activities. The purchasing group is not assigned to other units of the enterprise structure in SAP R/3.
Purchasing organization is an organizational unit within logistics that subdivides the enterprise according to the purchasing requirements.
A purchase organization procures materials or services, negotiates conditions of purchase with vendors, and assumes responsibility for these transactions.
You can incorporate purchasing into company structure by assigning the purchasing organization to a company code and to plants. This means you can take into account whether purchasing is organized on a centralized or decentralized basis in your company. You can have a combination of these two also.
You can assign several purchase organizations to one company code. However a certain purchase organization is belongs to only one company code.
You can decide not assign a purchase organizations to company code in case of cross-company purchasing.
You can assign several plants to a purchase organizations and one plant to several purchase organizations.
For plant specific purchases, a purchase organization is purchase materials to only one plant.
If a purchase organization is to procure materials or services for several plants in a company code, you can set up a cross-plant purchasing organization within the company code. To do so, you assign the purchase organization to company code and after this you assign the plants for which the purchase organizations are to be responsible.
If a purchase organizations is responsible for procurement for all plants of a company code, the above setting not enough, but you must always assign the plants to a purchasing organization that is to procure for them.
However, assignment of purchase organizations to a company code is not necessary.
If you want to assign cross-company code purchasing, you must not assign the purchasing organization to any company codes in customizing.

Syed Hussain.

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.

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

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.

arun

Delivery Quantity Control at Purchase Organisation Level

Hi All,
In this scenario, I would like to have a control on the Delivery quantity by a vendor.
Quantity released: 100 pcs for Vendor ABC
Total Number of Plants: 3
Out of this 100 pcs, it can be delivered to any of the 3 plants by vendor ABC. Quantity delivered by vendor to these 3 plants should not exceed 100 pcs in total. How can we have a control for total released quantity at Purchase Organisation level.
Breakup of quantity to be delivered to each plant cannot be given as releasing is done at corporate level.
We checked same scenario by using purchase Info record maximum quantity field. We created purchase info record at Purchase Organisation level.
Scenario 1. which i tested
Maximum Qty:100
PO creation
Plant 1: 100 qty-- No error/warning
Plant 2: 100 qty-- No error/warning
Plant 3: 101 qty-- warning maximum qty exceeded than 100 pcs.
Above scenario will not help me as I need to total release control on all plants together.
Scenario 2. Expected
Plant 1: 60 qty-- No error/warning
Plant 2: 45 qty-- Error, Total released qty exceed by 5 pcs.
Thanks and Regards,
VV

Hi
You cannot do GR for a plant which is not given in Purchase order. Corporate level you can have contract but not Purchase orders. If you have reference purchase organization create a corporate contract and try creating a po against that contract.
