new purchasing organization in srm ecs

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

we are moving from classic to ecs. in this process we need to create a new pur org in srm and backend. the new pur. org going to be used across different company codes. can you pls let me know how to define the pur org in the backend as a standard or reference and does all the plants need to be assigned to the new pur org in backend and whether do we need to refer this new pur org in srm or not

Regards

Hi Depu,

I hope you are fine.

For ECS either "local" purchasing groups and purchasing organizations should be created (i.e. in PPOMA_BBP on tab "Function" the backend ID of these additional units should be empty) or - maybe more suitable in your case - the indicator "Backend Purchasing Groups Responsible" in IMG node:

"SAP Supplier Relationship Management / SRM Server / Cross-Application Basic Settings / Activate Extended Classic Scenario"

should be marked. Details please find in the corresponding IMG documentation and in the consulting note 944918.

944918 ECS: Find back end purchasing group as a responsible group

An important point, in any case, for CS and ECS, and for the different ECS scenario involving "local" and "backend" purchasing units u2013 the target system of the product categories must be the backend system.

Thank you,

Rafa.

Hi Rafa,

Thanks for your reply. But i am still unclear that whether the new purchasing we created shall be defined as a standard pur. org or reference pur.org. in the backend and since it is across all company codes, should all the plants be assigned to this new pur. org. in the backend.
