Hi,

STANDARD P.ORG.

If several purchasing organizations procure for a certain plant, you can define one of them as the standard purchasing organization for the transactions "pipeline procurement", "consignment" and "stock transfers".

In source determination for stock transfers and consignment, the system automatically utilizes this standard purchasing organization. In the case of goods issues of pipeline materials, the purchasing info records of the standard purchasing organization are read.

REFERENCE P.ORG.

If there are 4-5 purchase organizations which are procuring for different company codes or plants and if you want one purchase organization to procure on behalf of others then you can maintain that one as reference organization .

Ex: if you create contract with reference purchase organization then same can be used for other organizations. Same conditions/terms will be valid for others also.

regards,

abi

Hi,

In SAP there are differrant purchase organisation types in SAP like normal purchase organisation, standard purchase organisation, reference purchase organisation.

Normal Pur org will be used when there are normal purchasings by local members.

Reference purchase organisation will be at the top level and will be creating the central contracts, which will be referenced to the local purchasing bodies.Like inh Govt, a reference PUr org will finds the rates and create contracts and supplyes to local offices.like statoanaries etc.

Standard purchase organisation is responsible for special procurement process, like subcontracting etc,

You can define them at SPROEnterprise structuredefinitionMMPurchase org--

You can define one of the purchase org created as reference and standard.

Normal Pur orgs will be assigned to the plant.If is is assigned to the CC then it can ve act as a reference.

Hi,,

Normal Purchase organization is to procure either for the plant/entire company code/cross company level based upon assignment settings in SPRO.

For Reference Purchase organization, it will be simply assigned to other normal Purchase organizations only but neither assigned to any plant or company code. This is useful to enjoy the corporate contracts and their price benefits.

Regarding Standard Purchase organization, it is to handle procurement of special stocks
