Central Org. Unit of Pur. Org in SUS

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Please clarify on the following :

Suppose i have 5 different vendors in EBP in different purchasing organisations.

01. Do I have to create those 5 purchasing organisations in SUS ? to have my EBP vendors in SUS

What is advantage / significance of creating only one purchasing organisation in SUS without assigning any value only by clicking the purchasing organisaction field under function tab ? Is it more equivalent to centralised purchasing organisation ? i.e. having one purchasing organisation without assignment to any company codes.

Thanks

Hi Rajesh,

Purch Org in SUS is like a dummy Purch Org. Hence you need not create 5 different Purch Orgs. This is because the PO which comes from SRM (EBP-SUS) or MM (MM-SUS) contains all details (Com code, Purch Org) in XML format. Also there is no mapping done here

HI Nikhil,

Thanks for confirming my assumption. However, i would like to know the exact reason for keeping the dummy pur. org. at SUS side and also the impact if we are not keeping the same.

Hi Rajesh,

SAP assumes that SUS and ROS will be hosted on the same client. Hence this Purch Org on SUS/ROS side is mandatory as the Purchaser who carries out the preselection in SRM needs to be maintained under a Purch Org in SUS/ROS too.

Also if you navigate to SPRO settingsSUSMaster Data--You will see that the entry for Purch Org is mandatory. Hence you will need to maintain this irrespective of whether you use SUS or ROS.
