Cross-company purchasing in SRM without central purchasing organization

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

1. There is no central purchasing organization. A shared service organisation called SSC does all the purchasing. In MM this is possible as you give them

authorisation to use other Purchase organisations.

2. In our SRM organisation structure we have to assign the SSC staff to a purchasing group, which is alternatively assigned to a purchase

organisation. In this case we have no option but to assign it to the

SSC purchase organisation structure - as SRM does not allow us to

assign a purchasing group to multiple company codes with multiple users

3. When we create purchase requisitions for another company code, and

therefor another purchasing organisation we manage to pull it through to SRM. We can create the purchase order, but can not transfer it to R/3

4. The reason we cannot transfer it to R/3 as we get an error saying

that purchase organisation for SSC is not responsible for the company

code. I expect this error from R/3.

Do you have a workaround or a modification in this case.

With Kind Regards

Faisal

Hi,

Check BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI to change Pgroup anfd Porg defaulted from PPOMA.

If you need to change the value only while creating the PR or PO to the backend , use the related BADI.

ECS : BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI

classic : BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW or BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW

Hi Yann,

Thank you very much for the wonderful quick answer. I would discuss it with my developers and let you know if it works. This would ensure the consolidation of knowledge.

HI Fiasal Mahboob

Have you accomplished the cross functionality with Central Purchasing Org.

Is the scenario working with the use of BADIs.

Thanks for the reply in advance. Do update.....
