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.
If useful reward points,

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?

Difference between Standard and Regular Purch Org

Hi Experts,
what is the difference between standar purch(used in pipeline procurement ,consignmnet and stock transfer)
org and regular purch org
Regards
Sameer

Hi,
If several purchasing organizations procure for a certain plant, you can define one of them as the standard purchasing organization for the transactions "pipeline procurement", "consignment" and "stock transfers".
In source determination for stock transfers and consignment, the system automatically utilizes this standard purchasing organization. In the case of goods issues of pipeline materials, the purchasing info records of the standard purchasing organization are read.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Contract - Purchasing org shown as display only

Hi,
I've had a question where one of our users is trying to maintain the purchasing organisation on an existing contract. Unfortuantely the field is greyed out and it isn't possible to amend this. I've had a look in config and the purchasing org field doesn't appear to exist within the field layout options. Does anyone have any idea how this field can be amended?
Many thanks,
Steph.

I'm 99.9% certain you can't change it after creation. SAP's logic would be that it is a field you wouldn't change part way through and if 'possession' changes, the new Purchasing Org. should raise a new Contract.
It's reasonable given other implications too. For example statistics/reports on purchase activity.

Nick

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

This is duplicate thread (NO POINTS required)
Hello Manjula,
Go to transaction code SAP1, this will show all the reports functional area-wise.
For purchasing reports : Go to Material management --> Purchasing
For Inventory management reports : Go to Material management --> Inventory management
Hope this helps

About a year ago I purchased the student addition of the Adobe Creative suite 6 Design Standard and just recently purchased an additional computer for my home. Can I use the same disc that I previously purchased to download the program?

Yes, as long as the machine meets the system requirements for the software you can install and activate it. Your license allows you to have the software installed and activated on two machines.

Company code and Purchase Org during vendor registration

Hi,
I have one enterprise context, with many company codes and purchasing org.
I am aware that vendor master data is at enterprise level in ESO. However while integrating to backend i need to capture the relevant co code and Purchasing org.
When the Purchaser wants to create a vendor, there does not seem anyway to enter which Purchasing org and company code the vendor should be created for.
Need your suggestions for the following options
1) capture co code and Purchasing org on bespoke fields and then in PI, pass these values to Co code and Purch org resp
2) create company contexts - would this resolve this? what are the implications if one vendor needs to be extended to multiple co codes
regards
Subrote

Hi,
Have you imported integration config workbook.
As part of ECC integartion guide we have couple of workbook and XML needs to integrated, which will create all the required extension for vendor master and vendor registration.
Once you imported the integration workbook, you will able to see the company code and purchasing org screens in vendor master.
Thank you,
Mani

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still, I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.
