Change error KI113 Purchasing across company codes is not allowed from Error to Warning ?

[Oscar_DC]

Hi guys,

Has anyone had undesired consequences after changing error KI113 "Purchasing across company codes is not allowed" from Error to Warning?

We have two company codes and two purchasing organizations.

It has already been decided that we do not need two purchasing organizations, so I will make configuration and transactional data changes so that we only use one.

I'm thinking that our processes could be simplified if we allowed purchasing across company codes. This way I could create one single Purchase Order with one single item whenever I have shared expenses between both company codes. However, I am not 100% sure that this change is worth it.

• Did you have any problems with this?
• Did reporting on the MM side become too complicated because you could no longer differentiate expenses by plant and now you had to look at account assignments?
• Did you have issues with users just always using the same plant, regardless of which account assignment they were going to use just because it was easier to always use the same plant?

We do not have SRM implemented

Any advice would be appreciated ! Thanks !

All - We've decided to implement this. We'll change the KI113 error message to a warning so that we can post cross company invoices on framework PO's and use any settlement rule that we want for purchasing documents.

Other than changes done in custom code for VIM, no additional changes were needed .

Due to lack of reponse, I'll consider this closed ! Thanks!
