Standard purchasing organisation

hi
pl guide me in defining and assignment of standard purchasing organisation

Hi dear Radha ,
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.
Define your standard purchasing organization.
You can define at SPRO > Enterprise Structure > Assignment ?> Materials Management > Assign standard purchasing organization to plant
Hope this helps you !

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

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.

Purchase organisation Field in Vendor master data

Hi All
During the creation of Vendor master ,Needs to make the Field Purchase organisation as a mandatory. I have checked the in the following configs.
Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors
Define Screen Layout per Company Code (Vendors)
Define Account Group and Field Selection (Vendor)
The option is not available. for the above requirement.
thanks & Regards
DP

In many companies the address data is maintained by different people than accounting data and purchasing org data.
I would not like that accountants to create my purchasing org data, and I am certain that my accountants dont want the buyer to create his accounting data.
if you could make this combination mandatory, then the user would have to maintain all screens at the same time, which may result in delays. as he can only start once he has all data available. SAP standard allows to create a vendor with general data and purchasing org data and purchasing can start buying. the company code data is only needed in the moment the goods arrive.
So you gain time to collect the data while you already started business.
Further, not all vendor master need to have purchasing org data. and not all vendors with purchasing org views need a company code view.
e.g. a restraunt may send you bills for lunch, but you do not place purchase orders with this restaurant. No purchasing org view needed here.
a goods supplier, that is needed for Intrastat purposes only, does not need a company code view, as you will never get invoices from the goods supplier.

Is it possible Purchase Organisation field is mandatory in PO(Me21N),
i have checked in spro define screen layout at document level; wise but there is no Purchase organisation field.
please guide me,
Thanks
Shital

Hi Shital ,
Pur.Org is the org level responsible for purchasing activities , u cannot set it to optional as it is hardcoded in the program itself.
Without this ur PO will not be saved .
Note: There is no point in creating a PO without Porg and is not possible in standard SAP .

HI
For the assignment follw the below path.
Go to SPRO> EnterPRise Structure>Assignment>Logistic general>Assign plant to company code
Check in this ,to chich COmpany code the Plant is attached to .
Know go to
Go to SPRO> EnterPRise Structure>Assignment>Material Management>Assign Purchase org to company code
Know check that the Plant and Purchase Org should be to same company code
if they are so yes then only we can link this Purchase org to the PLant as below
Go to SPRO> EnterPRise Structure>Assignment>Material Management>Assign Purchase org to Plant
Know comming to your questions.
Standard Purchase org.
If in the above config if we have defined Multiple Purchase org to one Plant.
then in some transaction for automatic flow it always required to have one Purchase org standard one
so for acheiving the same we will maintain this config at
SPRO> Enterprise Structure>Assignment>Material Management>Assign Standard Purchase org to plant
Reference Purchase Org.
IN some cases if in a company ywo Purchasing Deparent working for two purchassing Org want some data in common like the Pricing Procedures or conditions maintained.
to make this flexible and easy
we define one Master Purchase org as the refrence Purchae org ,which acts as reference to all purchase orgs and it has all conditions maitained in it .
Central Purchase org. Sorry to say that i dont /heard abt one.
let me know the path where i could fine the same.so that i would try to help you .

User assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups

Dear Experts,
My issue is related to user assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups.
According to the project requirement, we are using central purchasing organisation and we should create the purchasing organisations and purchasing groups locally. it is not reflected from the back end systems through RFC.
Also we have one more team working with indirect materials and they also use SRM. They have already created the organisation model. Two projects are inter-related and belongs to same department in the company, but main different is one uses direct and the other in-direct materials.
Now we should create our purchasing organisation and purchasing groups and assign the users to it.
If we create it separately means not uder the main root and assign the users, we are able to create shopping cart till the contract. But when i create the new purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under the main root which is created for other project which deals with in-direct materails, i am not able to create shopping cart with the user. I am getting the error
' Process scheme could not be found
Please let me know how to deal with this scenario. here i need to add the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under main root because of the reason that in the other project, purchasing organisation and purchasing groups defined needs to be accessed by our users as well. I mean the users should be able to access all the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups created under root node which gets the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups from the back end systems and the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups we created manually since we cant get it from back end system since it is central purchasing organisation.
Please asvise
Best regards,
Srinath

Hello Masa,
Thanks very much for your time and solution.
Actually the problem was something else and was fixed.
The reason for getting error 'Process schema was not yet defined' is because of missing definition of process schedma for the workflow since the process based workflow setting has been activated.
So this has been resolved by copying the sap standard customizing BC set for SRM workflow using transaction SAPR20 and then process schema for workflow got configured or copied automatically from SAP BC set and the error was removed.
Also the reason for error with user was that no purchaser assignment was done to the purchasing organisation and now it has been done and the users can access the SRM and create shopping cart and the contract.

Srinath

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?

Standard pur. organisation

hi,
what is the relevance of assigning a standard pur. organisation to a plant?
what is the use of assigning company specific pur. organisation to plant & comapny code also?

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.

Standard purchase order upload to oracle

hi,
we are on oracle apps 11i, database 9i.
I have a custom requirement that requires importing purchase orders to Oracle Apps through database. I was advised to use the following interface tables:
PO_HEADERS_INTERFACE
PO_LINES_INTERFACE
PO_LINE_LOCATIONS_INTERFACE
PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE
insert the data to these tables using a PLSQL procedure and then running the program IMPORT STANDARD PURCHASE ORDERS from front end.
If someone confirms the above is the right method, it would be appreciated.
thanks & regards

Looks correct. Refer to the below links.

Customized R12 Standard Purchase Order report with custom data and layout

Hi all,
We need to customize the seeded Purchase Order report in R12 to add an additional section to include cost data coming from our custom table. The key is that our customized report should be launched instead of the seeded report via various PO forms (e.g. View Document menu option, PO Communications form to email, fax and print PO, etc).
I manually set up a custom Document Type Layout for the Document "Standard Purchase Order" to use my customized template so my custom layout is shown instead of the R12 layout, but according to Oracle support the report can only draw data from a set of seeded Oracle views like po_headers_xml,po_lines_xml etc.
Any suggestions how we can add our custom data to PO report in R12?
Thanks! Mike.

Hi Mike
thats a tough one, the PO generation is a bit restrictive to say the least when it comes to customizing. It sounds like you have worked out how to get your own template in there to render the PO.
On the data front, all I can think of is to customize and replace the seeded PO view with one that incorporates your extra data.
Or, get into the page customization world and write your own extract and format concurrent program/procedure and then hook it onto the buttons where you want to launch it.
You might have more luch, response wise from the EBS PO forum.

Import standard Purchase Order process and interface tables

Hi all,
We are populating three PO interface tables from our custom developed application. PO_HEADERS_INTERFACE, PO_LINES_INTERFACE and PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE. We are using 11.5.10.2 version of Oracle Apps.
Initially we did not manage to populate the distributions interface table, but, now we are populating it. And after doing so, when we run the Import standard Purchase Order process for 'Approved' POs, the process_id for even the record which has correct distributions info also gets 'Rejected' as a value. The process is considering a mix of records : the approved POs that DO NOT HAVE distribution info in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE (which we had not managed to populate) and the approved POs that HAVE distribution info in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE.
does the Import standard Purchase Order process populate partial data that could be good or it rejects the whole lot of records?
Can anyone guide on this issue?
Thanks and kind regards,
Aparna
Edited by: Aparna on Jul 24, 2009 3:45 AM
Another piece of info I would like to share is
I have run the process for an approved PO with distributions info in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE. This time no mixed data. In PO_INTERFACE_ERRORS table, an entry was found: for column name : PO_DISTRIBUTION_ID in ERROR_MESSAGE column 'Error: Has no distributions'.
Edited by: Aparna on Jul 24, 2009 8:03 AM
After carrying out number of tests, I have found out that
1) if the approval_status for the po is 'Approved' in the po_headers_interface table, it gives the above mentioned error and the process_id is 'rejected'.
2) if the approval_status for the po is 'Incomplete' in the po_headers_interface table, the process add the 'accepted' value for the process_id. But, the charge account number is not populated in shipments.
Edited by: Aparna on Jul 31, 2009 1:07 AM
There has been some progress on this issue. The process sees distributions data into the PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_INTERFACE table. Yet the following errors are found in the process log file:
Start dist default process
before getting period name
after getting period name
-->Intfc error occurred ...PO_PDOI_INVALID_GL_ENC_PER
