Supplier Contract for multiple Company Codes

[Kathrin_W]

Hi Team, 

One of my customers would like to see how to handle this scenario best in the S/4 Public Cloud: 

In the standard SAP system, purchase contracts can only be assigned to a single company code.
However, in the business practice of our customer, there are supplier contracts that are valid for several company codes and their
plants at the same time.

• The customer creates more than 700 new purchase contracts on a monthly basis.
• Each of these contracts must be duplicated for each company code.
• This leads to significant additional effort, process delays, and a high risk of inconsistencies in changes.

Request:
We need the ability to consume purchase contracts across company codes for the central purchasing organization, so that plants from
multiple company codes can apply the same contract.

Added value:
• Massive reduction of double maintenance effort (700+ contracts per month).
• Improve data quality through centralized and consistent contract management.
• Practical representation of a central purchasing organization with several company codes.

Does anyone have any input on this? 

Thanks and kind regards

Kathrin
