Ref pur org can be used when there is a requirement to maintain purchasing with two options aka purchase are with respect to plant as well as company code level purchases.

Here a n purchase orgs are responsible for say n plants hence assigned to plants, apart from which one or more pur orgs are  maintained as ref pur orgs where it is responsible for higher level purchases say entire company, hence these ref pur orgs are assigned to comp code as well as pur orgs for respective plants.

  1. C.Code

Plant

Standard P.Org

  1. Ref.P.Org

1000

1100

1100

1001

1000

1200

1200

1001

1000

1300

1300

1002

1000

1400

1400

1002

In this scenario Ref P.Org 1001 is serving for two plants through standard P.Orgs 1100 and 1200 and Ref P.Org 1002 is serving for two plants through standard P.Orgs 1300 and 1400.

So now those materials/services common for plants 1100 and 1200 can be maintained through 1001 and those materials/services common for plants 1300 and 1400 can be maintained through 1002.

Hence 1001 and 1002 have combined value to procure for two plants and hence can negotiate prices and terms and conditions and procure quite effectively when compared to individual Standard P.Porgs 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400. as they would split the overall requirement.

Where as when there is a material/service confined to a particular plant only then Standard P.Orgs can take care of it.

Dear Vikas,

As per my knowledge a ref. pur.org is not a multiple company code entity, it can serve only at company code level aka for plants within company code. On the other hand if we want to maintain p.org for multiple company codes then we need a higher level p.org aka CERNTRAL P.Org which is maintained at client level and not assigned to any company code, hence serve for multiple company codes within a client.

Please update me with this.

Hi

check the link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ff/515a2849d811d182b80000e829fbfe/content.htm

It shows the ref. purchasing organisation is cross company and it is at client/corporate level.

it creats contracts which can by refered by other purchasing org.
