Purchasing Organization and Company Code

Currently we have one Purchasing organization(0001) (linked to) for multiple Company Codes(LE) for all of Americas
Now for a new implementation in Europe we are thinking of having one more Purchasing Organization for another multiple(10-12)company Codes.
Now the Questions is:
1) Should we just go with One Purchasing Org across all the Company codes in terms of SAP Pros and Cons
2) Or we should have 2 Purchasing Org one each for Europe and US.
What are the Pros and Cons within SAP for having 1 Purchasing Org for two different countries(can we have issues like Currency,Doc type,etc)

Hi,
Vendor Master data at P Org level is maintained with Vendor CUrrency, Terms of payment, INCOterms, Schema group (for pricing), etc. which are for sure, critical for procurement process. When the currency is getting changed from USD to EUR, you may not want to club these into one which could lead to issues in payment processing.
Downside of this is data maintenance. extension of vendors, inforecords etc to new P Org
This doesn't mean SAP can not handle multiple currencies even though vendor currency is USD, in PO, you can order in EUR....I have seen, buyers breaking their heads in handling this currency issues (most of the times spending a lot of time on manually working out these issues in the PO)
Advantage of having single POrg:
Data maintenance. No extension of vendor to new porgs is required....Of course, Company code extension has to be done anyway

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.

Contract from centralized purchase organization without company code

Hi Experts.
We have six company codes
And having one centralized purchase organization and it is not assigned to any company codes
While creating contracts all company code uses this centralized purchase organization.
My question is :-
I want to create contract with above centralized purchase organization without company codes in it so while converting above contract to po we can use any one company code in the po.
How to create contract with centralized purchase organization without company code? (Later this contract can be used to convert po from any the company codes )
Please helpu2026
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
What you need to do is:
In SPRO->Org.Structure->Definition->Materials Management->Maintain
Purch. Org. you need to "declare" all your Purch. Orgs.
In "SPRO->Org.Structure->Assignment->Materials Management->Assing
Purch. Org. to company code" you must NOT assign your corporal Purch.
Org to any company.
In the Plant assignment screen assign your corporal Purch. Org to all
the relevant Plants.
In this kind of hierarchy you make all the purchasing activities
(contracts, PO's etc.) for this purch org.
Thats all.
In the case that you have 2 level hierarchy: one corporal and many
company\plant assigned purch. orgs you need to do additional step.
After assigning a "small" purch. orgs to the plants and companies you
can assign them to "reference" Purch Org. (that not assigned itself to
any plant/company) in the ""SPRO->Org.Structure->Assignment->Materials
Management->Assing Purch. Org. to reference Purch. Org."
That kind of hierarchy allows you to make a contracts at the "reference"
org. level and use them in PO's by the lowest purch. orgs.
Hope that it will help.

Udaya.

Purchasing Organization to Company code relationship question

My client is running EEC 6.0 in production. When the original configuration was done, the purchasing organization was incorrectly assigned to the company code (table V_T024E_Assign; menu path: IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Materials Management > Assign Purchasing Organization to company code). This should have been left blank since we wanted the purchasing organization to serve multiple company codes. I know that I can blank out the company code and assign each plant ( e.g. plants for company code 1 and plants for company code 2) to the purchasing organization.
The question that I have is: What impact would this change have on any of the existing purchasing related transactions currently in the system (e.g. purchase orders, invoices, receipts, issues)? Would it cause any problems?
Any assistance is answer this would be appreciated. If you need more information, please let me know.

(1) You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.
(2) You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code but to plants.
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.
When you will delete the realtion of P.Org and Company code. It will shift to the second situation where P.Org is assigned to Plant and since Plants are assigned to company code so it will refer to the respective company code.

In that there is one method Process_header.
From there u can do all the things that u need in the header part of the Purchase Order.

Help purchasing org, plants & company codes

Hi Gurus,
I have the following scenario which need some advice and clarification from all of you.
Plant A is assigned to company code A
Plant B is assigned to company code B
*Note that company code A and company code B are using different currency
PO is to be raised out of company code A and deliver to plant B. That is the Bill to address is to company code A and delivery address will be plant B address.
I tried assigned both plants to the same purchasing org A, and input company code A in company code field and plant B in the plant field as PO data. And encounter the following error "Please only use plants with local currency XXX" where XXX currency is the currency used by company code A.
Is this method incorrect? If yes, can someone advise me the right approach to handle such purchasing scenario?
Thanks.
New@SAP

Hi Jürgen L,
the reason why they get company code A to pay for the plant B purchase is because company code A acts as a regional headquarters, sometimes it could be cheaper to procure in the country of company code A due to the tax issues. Hence, plant B is getting company code A to purchase on their behalf.

Company and company code

Hi friends
Can any one tell me the usefullness and functionalities of a company and company code.
Regards
Balu

hi,
<b>company & company code:</b>
The smallest organizational unit for which individual financial statements can be drawn up according to the relevant commercial law.
A company can consist of one or more company codes.
All company codes within a company must use the same transaction chart of accounts and the same fiscal year
breakdown. The company code currencies can be different.
A company has one local currency in which its transaction figures are recorded.
company code is highest level of organisation unit in FICO

Bapi_Acc_Document_Post - E 018 : Invalid tax code and company code combination

Hi All,
I need the help of this forum once again.
I am using bapi Bapi_Acc_Document_Post to create KR documents in SAP. The bapi works absolutely fine except for one scenario:
For a particular type of invoice coded to Company "XXXX" with lines having tax code "I0", the bapi returns error message "E 018 : Invalid tax code and company code combination". The tax code "I0" and the company code "XXXX" has been mapped in SAP and if I try to create the invoice manually in SAP using the GUI, the invoice gets created without any issue.
I have tried searching the forum but could not find any post on this topic.
Therefore, requesting the masters to please help me out on this.
Best Regards
