Company Code determination for SRM PO Print Preview

[laurent_burtaire]

Hello,

when you make a print preview of a PO in SRM (our release is SRM 7.0 EhP4), standard process determines Company Code based on Purchasing Group ID (check function module BBP_OUTPUT_COMPANY_FROM_EKGR).

Nevertheless, using this way, this means Company Organizational Unit's attribute COMPANY is inherited to Purchasing Organization, so to Purchasing Group too.

So, in case in your Organizational Structure, your Purchasing Organization is responsible for more than one Company Code (which means Organizationl Unit is not under Company Code), you will not have this inheritance.

Consequently, how is it possible to manage this situation by customizing?

If not, what is the SAP recommendation?

I writing this question in order to not have to open an OSS message. So if SAP employees can answer to my question, i will save time and SAP Support too.

Thank you for your support.

Regards.

Laurent.

Hello Gergo,

a solution i could consider is to assign my single Purchasing Organization to first Company code in the Organizational Structure.

This way, I would no longer have a raise in the BBP_OUTPUT_COMPANY_FROM_EKGR function module.

Nevertheless, i will have to redetermine Contact data in PO form (SF_PO-CONTACT) as i will always have data from same Company, whatever company code of SC Requester.

Regards.

Laurent.

Hello Gergo,

solution is not at smartform level: problem is when PO data are fetched to generate the PO form.

Indeed, PO form is called well after, in function module BBP_OUTPUT_PO_PREVIEW_SMART whereas BBP_OUTPUT_COMPANY_FROM_EKGR is called at the beginning of this FM, through FM BBP_OUTPUT_PO_GETDETAIL_SMART.

And a raise is triggered, so it is not possible de manage it in standard.

Regards.

Laurent.

Hi Laurent,

there is no customizing for this.

I would change the smartform and append code to determine the company according to Your business needs.

Kind regards
