assignment of purchse organisation to site (plant) in IS-Retail

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Would like to have simple Query

We Have 3 Company Codes.

Is we need to have different purchase organisations, Company-Code wise and purchase organisations are assigned to sites

Or is it possible to have Centralised purchase Organisation for all Company codes in Specifically IS-Retail

The Assignment of Centralised Purchase organisarion with all sites belongs to different Company Codes is showing an assignment error in STATUS specfically in IS-RETAIL.

Plz advice.

B.Regards

Hi Javeed,

You have the following options:

a. You can assign a purchasing organization to one company code. This is company-specific purchasing.

b. You can assign a purchasing organization to no company code. 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(site/dc) 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.

But a purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants. This is plant-specific purchasing.

You can follow any othe above method, as per your requirement.

Hope this will bring more clarity to you.

Take Care

Dear sir ,

I do have the question regarding the diff. between the Plant specific and the company specifi.

Any how the plant is assigned to the company code

In both the cases do we need to assign the purchasing org.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use a reference purchasing organization, in this case all your site specific

purchase organizations will be assigned to this reference purchasing organization

and this can be utilized for all company codes.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Javeed,

Here's the recommended solution for IS-Retail:

1. Create only one purchase Org.

2. Do not assign it to any company code. (which makes Centralised Purchase Organisation)

3. If there's any specific requirement regarding to organisation, use Purchase Group instead.
