Reference Purchasing Org??

Hi All,
We have two plants 0721 and 0722 for the same company code. I have assigned Purchasing org 0721 to plant 0721 and Pur org 0722 to plant 0722.
Also I have assigned 0721 as the reference purchasing organization for purchasing org 0722 in the config.
I have created a contract (with no plant assignment) for purchasing org 0721 which is the reference purchasing organization.
Now when I try to create a new PO using this contract for plant 0722 and purchasing org 0722 I get an error message as "Contract has different purchasing organization 0721".
But this error should not have been there as I have maintained purchasing org 0721 as reference pur org for 0722.
Am I missing something here......
Regards,
V S

Hi,
1. Did you get error message or warning message?
2. Is 0722 in T024Z-EKORG and 0721 in T024Z-EKORZ?

Standard and Reference Purchasing Org

What is the difference between standard and Reference purchasing organization?
In which scenario it is used?
Regards,
Komal

Dear Komal,
Please find difference of both these term & its application in simple manner.
A) Reference Purchase Organization( Also called as Central Pur Org.)
1)Used to map cross purchasing organization procurement transaction
2) Possible to use other purchasing organization to use conditions of this Purchase Organization
3) Allow to access contract
4) In customizing you can configure which data ( i.e. contract or conditions ) a purchasing organization can access
5) a multilevel reference relationship is not possible
6) Purchasing Info record for central Purchasing organization must exist.
7) This is normally at client level.
B) Standard Purchase Organization:
1) If a plant is having more than one purchasing organization , one of the purchasing organization is designated as standard Purchase Organization.
2)It is used for Transaction of pipeline material , Consignment material or stock transfer orders.
3) In source determination system automatically pulls this Purchase Organization
4) For goods issue Purchasing Info record of standard Purchase Organization is used.
5) Standard Purchase Organization info record is used for auto PO generation during GR
I thinks this will clear your concept.

Creating Central Contract using Reference Purchasing Org

Hi,
We are using two type of purchasing organization:
a.Global Purchasing Organization - It is not assigned to any company code or plant.
b.Country Purchasing organization u2013 It is assigned to Global Purchasing Organization. This cross-plant country specific purchasing organization is to procure materials for several plants independent to a company code. We have assigned the purchasing organization to the plant and not to a specific company code.
Global purchasing organization has been setup a reference purchasing organization to be able to create central contracts that is independent of company code and plant.
However whenever we create the central contract using the reference purchasing organization, the system will not proceed unless we define a company code. Please let me know how we can avoid the Pop up message u201CThe Purchasing organization XXXX has not been assigned to a company code. Please enter a company code.u201D
Please note that neither Global nor Country purchasing organization is assigned to company code. The company code will be determined only from Plant.
Please help.
Regards,
AG

Hi.
In your case, both the Purchase organizations ( Global Purchase Organization & Country Purchase Organization ) are not assigned to the company code. But Country Purchase Organization is assigned to the plants from the different company codes and Global Purchase Organization is not assigned to any plant also.
In this case, If you are creating central contract with the Global Purchase Organization , you will get error. Becuase Global Purchase Organization is not assigned to any company code or plant.
If you are creating central contract with the Country Purchase Organization, system will allow. Because this purchase organization is assigned to the plants from the different company codes. Based on this plant, system will identify company code.
So, conclusion is Purchase organization is must be assgined to the plants. This setting is mandatory in order to indentify company code which is giving in the Purchase document. But the assignment of company code to the purchase organization is optional.
So, assign plants to the Global Purchase Organization and try to create central contracts. It will work.

Regarding Purchase Org at plant and company code level

Hi MM Gurus,
I am supposed to prepare an organizational structure,
The procurement of raw materials is done centrally at corporate level,
and other nonstock items are done decentrally at plant level.
Is there a way we can design the organizational structure, based on material type.
How to define a purchase org for different material.

Hi,
Purchase Organisations can be based on material type.
purchasing org is where negotiations & vendor finalisation is done by the procurement team. this purchasing org is responsible for all material types.
you have decentralised policy of procurement. raw material is managed at corporate level, centrally. and non-stockable, fast moving items are managed at plant level.
You can have a individual purchasing org for each plant and assign it to them. a central purchasing would be assigned to all plants. You can keep the central purchasing org as reference purchasing org.
when you want that the prices fixed by central pur org should be applicable to all plants, then you need to create contract (OLA) in reference pur org. this contract is applicable to other plants by default.
Hope this answers your query.

Global Purchasing org

Hello Gurus,
I am working on a Global implementation. I would like to know the factors to be considered in setting up Purchasing orgs for each region. it is fine when each country does their own procurement but the problem is when one country wants to procure for the other country. How can i acheive this.
What are the currency issues involved when there is a cross country purchase.
Will setting up a reference Purchasing Org help in anyway.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

reference purchasing organization
Simply if contract is made with this Purchase org withs is decleared as Ref pur org then other purchase org can release PO with reference to the contract made by Ref pur org
Example
The reference purchasing organization RORG, which belongs to head office in Atlanta, has negotiated a comprehensive contract for the material Steel bolt 01 with favorable conditions with vendor Smith Corp.
The purchasing organization EORG, responsible for procurement in the Houston and Austin plants, wants to issue release orders for the material Steel bolt 01 against this contract. Purchasing organization EORG procures other consumable materials from regional suppliers.
Prerequisites:
Before the purchasing organization EORG can issue release orders against the above contract, the following settings and data must have been maintained:
Maintaining Customizing Settings
Both purchasing organizations are maintained in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure under Definition  Materials Management  Maintain Purchasing Organization.
The reference purchasing organization RORG can be maintained with or without a company code and plant(s).
The purchasing organization EORG is assigned to company code 1000 and the two plants.
Purchasing organization RORG is maintained as the reference purchasing organization for the purchasing organization EORG in Customizing for the Enterprise Structure ( Assignment  Materials Management  Assign Purch. Organization to Reference Purch. Organization).
Entering Application and Master Data
The vendor Smith Corp. is maintained for both purchasing organizations.
The material Steel bolt 01 is maintained for the plants Houston and Austin.
A centrally agreed contract has been created without a plant by the reference purchasing organization RORG.
Process Flow
1. An employee belonging to the purchasing organization EORG creates a purchase requisition for the plant in Houston.
2. The purchasing department processes the requisition and carries out a source determination procedure.
3. The contract of the reference purchasing organization is determined as a valid source.

Not able to get data from Reference Purchase Organization

Hi,
    the scenario is
Need to have one global pur. org for 3 company codes and
one each company code specific purchase org.
so i created Z300 as a ref purchasing org
and created Z100 for a specific company 3000 n assigned to it
and assigned Z100 to ref purchase org Z300
and i created a vendor master with Z300 purchase org n company code 3000
but when i creating a PO with ME21n
when i enter the vendor and Z100 as the purchase org ...it tells me that vendor is not maintained for Z100.
( but as per the documentation the data shud come from ref. purchase org ? isnt that true)
and
when i enter the vendor and Z300 as the purchase org and enter the material and plant it says
plant is not maintained for Z300 ..? i understand this ...the correct process is the first one ..
can nyone let me know y this error is coming ....is there anything i am missing in assigning.
thanks a bunch

purchasing staff of your enterprise to work with conditions and contract
release orders on a cross-purchasing-organization basis.
It is then possible for:
o The conditions of a reference purchasing organization to be used by
   other purchasing organizations for the purpose of price determination
o Several purchasing organizations to access the contracts of a certain
   reference purchasing organization
You have to maintianed the vendor for all the Pur org for which you want to use
the ref pur org will come inthe picture when you create the contract at global level means at ref pur org so all other pur org can use the same contract.
So if you creating PO for your std pur org then you have to maintain the vendor and you can refer the contract from ref pur org

Purchasing org

Advantages of having two purchasing orgs for each plant as opposed to one?
Technically and functionally?
Scenerios where each is better?

hi..
As per business need there can be set up for
Central Purchasing Organisation
Refernce Purchasing Orgainsation
Distibuted Purcahsing
They work as per the combinations / namesdefined.
We assign Plants to Purchasing Organisation.
We assign Purchasing Organisation to Compny Code
One plant may have no of purcahsing orgainisation
It means for one plant there can be three four purchasing organisation for procuremnt purpose.
These three four purchase ogranisation may have one compny code or diffrent compny codes in same clinet.
Depend on there function & setting they will be called as Central,Reference,or Distributed Purchasing Organisation.

SRM Purchasing Org Structure

Hi,
I'm in ECC 6.0 with SRM Server 5.5 as an add-on. I need some help in the area of Organization Structure.
1. In SRM config (PPOMA_BBP)I defined a Org Node for Company code. Then assigned it to a company. Then I defined a Purch. Org and attached a Purchasing Org (MM) to it. Then I defined a Purchasing Group and attached it to a Purchasing Group (MM). All these 3 entitities are defined as Org Unit (type 'O'). Then I link HR Purchaser to SRM purchasing group by relation 'is purchaser of'.
Am I correct?
Business partner is automatically created for Purchasing Org but it did not get created for Company and Purchasing Group. Is it correct?
I could not see the shopping cart. So I did a debug and findout that SRM is trying to find a Business Partner (BP) for the Purchasing Dept (Org Structure in HR).
So can anybody throw some light into this Organization Structure stuff?
Thanks
Deb

In ME51N need to make Purchase Org. as mandatory only for selected one

Dear guru's
While creation of Purchase requisitions (ME51N), I need to make Purchase Org. as mandatory only for selected one Purchase Org. out of say 10 Purchase Orgs.
Is there any userexit or workaround for this.
Thanks in advance,
With regards,
Harisha

Dear Harisha,
One way is to define a transaction variant with SHD0.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas620/helpdata/en/eb/5fab41d79b11d296190000e82de14a/content.htm
In the SAP Reference IMG, you can create transaction variants. Choose Basis Components -> Application Personalization -> Tailoring of Application Transactions -> Configure Transaction-Related Display Values for Fields (Transaction SHD0). Transaction variants allow you to preset values for fields in a transaction, set field attributes, or hide entire screens.
To execute a transaction variant, you define a variant transaction using the Transaction Maintenance transaction (SE93).
Once you have entered a transaction code and short description, choose transaction type Transaction with variant (Variant transaction).
To define a variant, enter the name of the transaction and the name of the variant. You can then use the new transaction code to start the special variant of the transaction.
or
In IMG under
Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Requisition -> Data Screen Layout at Document Level.
Hope this will help.

Naveen.

Reference Purchase Organization?

Dear Gurus,
What is the use of reference purchase organization.
In which case, we can assign our plant to reference purchase organization?
Pls clarify my doubts..

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.
Hope this helps you.

Purchasing orgs in SRM

Hi
I would like to create a new purchasing org and a few purchasing groups in SRM; in extended classic scenario.
Do we create the purchasing entities in ECC first and replicate this to SRM?? if so how do we replicate? is there any automatic replication?
Or do we manually create the entit in both the systems. Do we need to give a backend reference in SRM?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It's a good practice to first create the Enterprise Structure in ECC. From SPRO settings you can create the Org Strucutre. Once the Org Strucutre is created in ECC then you need to create the same org stucuture in SRM. Only plant needs to be replicated from the R/3 System, rest you need to create it manually.
Under Entereprise sturcute you will find Defination and assignment. So create the Org Structure as per client request and report "BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED" you need to run this in order to replicate the new plant created in R/3
Once this is done you need to create the Org structure manually in SRM.
If you want to replicate the org strucutre from HR System then please have a look the below SAP Notes 550055 ,934372

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.

Purchase org & purchasing group

Hi,
How can we create a pur org at enterprise level ?
If we create a purch org at plant level, is it necessary to assign that purch org to the company code ?
is it necessary to assign purchasing group to the purchase org ?
Thanks & Regards

Hi
check help provided by SAP on P org.
which will clear ur doubt
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 toAssign 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.
