Experts, Need your suggestion.
My customer ABC doing business in food industry. They use SAP ERP for last 8 years. They have only one company code 1000, one purchasing org 1000 and one plant 1000. In the year 2015, they have acquired a company XYZ which is also in food industry but different products.
As per enterprise structure configuration the following exists for last 8 years
(1) Purchase org 1000 is assigned to company code 1000.
(2) Purchase org 1000 is assigned to plant 1000.
Now the pre-study is going on to roll-out SAP ERP in company XYZ. The proposal is to create new company code 2000, new plant 2000. As most of the raw materials are same in both companies the purchasing organization remain same ie., 1000. The buyers will create centralized contract (without plant) and both plants of different company codes can create release orders by referring the same contract. This is very much possible in standard SAP.
Proposed configuration after considering both company codes 1000 and 2000 are as follows;
(3) Purchase org 1000 is not assigned to any company code.
(4) Purchase org 1000 is assigned to plant 1000.
(5) Purchase org 1000 is assigned to plant 2000.
As long as plant 1000 and 2000 are assigned to purchasing org 1000, the centralized procurement concept should work.
In this scenario point (1) and (2) are exists for last 8 years. We want to know the impact of de-linking the purchase org 1000 and company code 1000 in point (3). There are several PR / RFQ / Contracts / PO exists for company code 1000 + purchasing org 1000 combination.
Your suggestions are welcome.
Thank You,
