A Purchasing Organization may be responsible for multiple plants and this is referred to as “Distributed Purchasing”. On the other hand, “Centralized Purchasing” FEATURES ONE Purchasing Organization per Plant.
A Purchasing Organization doesn’t necessarily NEED to be ASSIGNED to a Company Code. This would enable procurement for every company code as long as buyers are ACTING for an individual Plant, and that Plant is assigned to the Purchasing Organization. Hence, a plant may be assigned to more than one Purchasing Organization.
