Reference Purchasing Organization

There are three main types of purchasing organizations: 1) Plant specific where each plant has its own purchasing organization 2) Cross plant where a single purchasing organization handles procurement for multiple plants 3) Cross company code where a single purchasing organization handles procurement for multiple plants across different company codes. Some companies have a centralized reference purchasing organization at the corporate group level that negotiates global agreements, which local purchasing organizations then use to create purchase orders, allowing for better prices through high volume purchases. SAP also provides a standard purchasing organization that the system automatically assigns to each plant to create automatic purchase orders.

Types of Purchasing organization :

1. Plant specific (one plant one purch org)


2. Cross plant (more than one plant)-
A single purchasing department is responsible for procurement activities for more than one plant.
3. Cross company code (more than one company code )
Some customers have just one purchasing organization for the procurement activities
of multiple plants in different company codes

Reference Purchasing Organization:

Some customers may have a scenario where they have one centralized purchasing department at the corporate
group level that is responsible for the negotiation and creation of global agreements. These agreements are used
by local purchasing organizations to create purchase orders. This business scenario helps companies negotiate
better prices due to high-volume purchases.
Standard Purchasing Organization
SAP also provides a standard purchasing organization, which is used to create automatic purchase orders. In the
automatic purchase order creation process, the system needs to find the purchasing organization. The system gets
the plant code from the purchase requisition and, from the plant code system, determines the standard purchasing
organization (because the standard purchasing organization is assigned to the plant). Finally, a purchase order is
created.
