hi,
path for creating purchase organisation in sap.
spro->enterprise structure->definition->materials management->maintain purchasing organisation.
Definitions:-------
purchase organisation is responsible for all purchase activities.
From the Materials Management and Purchasing view, the purchasing
organization is responsible for all purchasing activities (including the
processing of requests for quotations and purchase orders, for example).
The purchasing organization is integrated within the organizational
structure as follows:
o A purchasing organization can be assigned to several company codes.
(= Corporate-group-wide purchasing).
o A purchasing organization can be assigned to one company code.
(= Company-specific purchasing).
o A purchasing organization can also exist without being assigned to a
company code.
- Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the latter
can be determined via the plant at the time of each procurement
transaction even if the procuring purchasing organization has
not been assigned to a company code.
o A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants.
(= Plant-specific purchasing).
o All items of an external purchasing document, that is, request for

The purchasing organization is the highest level of aggregation (after
the organizational unit client) for purchasing statistics. The purchasing
organization negotiates conditions for one or more plants. It is legally
responsible for concluding contracts.
The purchasing organization serves as a possible selection criterion for
lists of all purchasing documents.
From the Materials Management and Purchasing view, the purchasing
organization is responsible for all purchasing activities (including the
processing of requests for quotations and purchase orders). A purchasing
organization can be divided into several purchasing groups that are
responsible for different operational areas allowing:
• Each purchasing organization to have its own info records and
conditions for pricing
• Each purchasing organization to have its own vendor master data
• Each purchasing organization to evaluate its own vendors using MM
Vendor Evaluation.
Authorizations for processing purchasing transactions can be assigned
to each purchasing organization.

PLease check an excerpt from the documentation:
"Definition: purchasing organization
Purchasing (MM-PUR)
An organizational unit in Logistics, subdividing an enterprise according
to the requirements of Purchasing.
A purchasing organization procures materials and services, negotiates
conditions of purchase with vendors, and is responsible for such
transactions.
You specify the form of procurement by assigning purchasing
organizations to company codes and plants.
Possible forms are:
o Enterprise-wide: One purchasing organization procures for all the
company codes of a client - that is, for all companies belonging to
a corporate group
o Company-specific: One purchasing organization procures for one
company code
o Plant-specific: One purchasing organization procures for one plant
Mixed forms are possible. These are replicated in the system using
reference purchasing organizations.
A purchasing organization can access and use the most favorable
conditions and centrally agreed contracts of the reference purchasing
organization assigned to it.
