Purchase Requisition - source of supply - contract for Reference Pur. Org?

Hi All,

Hoping to get some advice from experts!

Scenario: Release S4HANA 2021

  • Plant A001, assigned to Purchasing Org P001
  • Reference POrg also exists: R001 - P001 is assigned to this refernence Org here:
    SPRO > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Materials Management > Assign purch. organization to reference purch. organization
  • Contract 460001 created for R001, Vendor V001, Material M01, no plant, no storage location given
  • MRP creates PR: Now contract 460001, Vendor V001 is assigned to PR (plant A001, Sloc 1000), POrg set as R001 automatically - no error shown in PR
  • Manual PR (Me51n): Same Material, same plant A001 as above. When Source of supply is entered as 460001 - an error is thrown by system: 'Purchasing Organization R001 is not allowed for plant A001' (message 06355). I am entering contract manually or choosing from list on click of button 'Assign source of supply'.

Why is a contract for reference POrg not valid for purchasing requisition? Isn't this how reference POrg should behave? Noting that MRP Live creates this PR without error.

Thanks,

Neetu
