Cross-Company Purchasing 

Purpose

If purchasing is set up on a cross-company-code basis, the customer works with a central purchasing organization that is responsible for worldwide outline purchase agreements and the negotiation of the relevant terms and conditions. This means that the purchasing organization is active for more than one enterprise and, in organizational terms, is not linked to one specific company code or particular plants.

If you do not want to create an outline agreement, you can use the existing one (4600000010).
