purchasing contract for more than one company code

[Former Member]

Dear All,

we need to created a contract for all plants (belonging to different companies).. i tried almost everything, creating a purchase organisation that is assigned to all plants without the company codes, purchase organisation that is not assigned to anything, refference purchase organisation...

but still when creating the contract, the system keeps asking for the company code as the purch org is not assigned..

please advise if this is doable, and if so where did i go wrong

Hi

Contract release order can still be created for different plants eventhough company code is different. So create centrally agreed contract by selecting single company code.

Then create release orders for different plants of different Company code.

Config settings req: Assign reference P.org to P.org. Then assign reference P.org to the plants where central contract is utilized.

Hope this clarifies you

Hello kamesh,

thanks alot for your reply, the problem is that the system keeps giving the error "Please only use plants with local currency", whenever we add a plant for an external company.

i really appreciate your help

Hi,

The system message 06166 (Please only use plants with local currency) is hard coded and

cannot be changed to a warning. The header currency can only be used in the document.

In standard you can only use different company codes with the same currency.

As an option you could create a contract with no plant specified and then when creatin a PO

enter the Company code of the plant.. The contract currency will still default over however

you can then go to Header\details to change the currency of the document to the plant's

currency.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I have a question here, even if the contract is created for the different company codes or plant rather, your Vendor remains the same, so to my understanding you create the contract with vendors currency not your local currency, however every account potings is done in two currency, one is your vendor currency and the other is your local currency of company code.

Also for your contarct released PO, you can change the document currency at the time of creating the PO at the header level.
