1.1.1.1 Assign purchasing organization to plant

A purchasing organization has to be assigned to plants for which they are
responsible.
Maintain Purchasing Organization:
Purchasing organization is an organizational unit that negotiates conditions of purchase,
prices and terms of delivery with vendors for one or more plants.
It is responsible for procuring materials and services and purchasing organization
assumes legal responsibility for all external purchase transactions.
A purchasing organization can be divided into several purchasing groups that are
responsible for different operational areas.
• Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing.
• Each purchasing organization has its own vendor master data.
• All items of an external purchasing document, that is, request for quotation,
purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement, belong to a purchasing
organization.
• The purchasing organization is the highest level of aggregation (after the
organizational unit "client") for purchasing statistics.
• The purchasing organization serves as the selection criterion for lists of all
purchasing documents.
Possible Purchasing Organizational forms:
You can incorporate purchasing into company structure by assigning the purchasing
organization to company codes and plants this means you can determine weather
purchasing is organized centrally or decentrally in your company. You can have a
combination of centralized and decentralized purchasing organization.
You can organize your purchasing function in the following ways:
• Corporate-group-wide purchasing
• Company-specific purchasing
• Plant-specific purchasing
• All of these forms can co-exist within a single client
Note: Purchasing organization 0001 is already preset in all dependent tables.
SAP recommends that you retain this number if you require only one purchasing
organization. You will have then customized only few tables.
