Purchasing: Working Across Purchasing Organization Boundaries

Description

Purchasing: Working with Conditions and Contract Release Orders Across Purchasing Organization Boundaries

Up to Release 2.2, conditions are dependent on the relevant purchasing organization. As of Release 3.0, the conditions of a reference purchasing organization can also be used by others for the purpose of determining purchase prices.

It is also possible for several purchasing organizations to access the contracts of one particular purchasing organization (the reference purchasing organization).
If purchasing organization 1 creates a release order against a contract of purchasing organization 3, the system will check whether the assignment of the two organizations has been maintained. If linkage has not been defined, an error message will be issued.

Change system parameters in customizing

In order to work with conditions and contracts across purchasing organization boundaries, you must assign individual purchasing organizations to the desired reference purchasing organization.
