Hi Ha,

Thanks for your answer. It seems you're right. But in the SAP library it says:
"Working with a reference purchasing organization saves time and effort in maintaining data because purchasing organization data for vendor master records and purchasing info records only has to be created by the reference purchasing organization. Other purchasing organizations that are linked to the latter via Customizing can use this data without having to maintain data themselves." [end quote]

Actually I was going to ask the second question as well: When I maintain the vendor only in RefPurOrg, I get the error message while creating the purchase order in another PurOrg saying that I have to maintain the vendor in that PurOrg as well.

In our Customizing the PurOrgs are assigned to RefPurOrg. RefPurOrg is not assigned to Company Code (as recommended in SAP Help). However, RefPurOrg is assigned to our both plants, because otherwise I can not maintain purchase info record in RefPurPOrg at all (I get the error message saying that the conditions have to be maintained on the plant level).

So, it seems that I can create central contracts in RefPurOrg, but I have to maintain vendors and info records on the PurOrg level as well.

Any other thoughts or hints?

Regards,

Hi,

To my best knowledge, the concept of reference purchasing organization will only be used in case of contract. It is not applicable to purchasing info record.

Cheers,
