Distributing the GOA to multiple locations in the same backend

Hello Folks,

We are implementing SRM 5.0 (SAPKIBKT10 Support Package level) with Extended Classic Scenario, with only one backend system (R3 V4.6b) integrated with the SRM system.

Queries:

At GOA header - Distribution, Example is shown below....

Backend Purchase Organization 1 - Location A

Backend Purchase Organization 1 - Location B

When we distribute one GOA to the backend with multiple locations for the same Purchase organiation.

In the backend system two idocs are getting generated with the same contract number. While processing the first Idoc the system is creating the contract but while processing the second idoc the system is changing the previously created contract, instead of creating a new contract.

So, in standard does the system creates actually creates two contract numbers for two different locations?

Can somebody throw some light on the logic of the distribution

Hi Amith,

this is normal behaviour of the system in the case POrgs are set up accross company codes. In the Contract IDoc the Comany Code is derived from the location. When the system finds the same company code, it does not create an additional contract, but just updates the already distributed contract.

Hi Claudia,

Thanks for the insight.In that case is there any way where we can create multiple contracts for various locations in the same company code?

Hi Amit,

why do you want to create contracts per location?

With the distribution mechnism, the contract is available for the different locations.
