IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Material Management > Assign Purchasing Organization to Reference Purchasing Organization

A reference purchasing organization can make favorable conditions or contracts available to other purchasing organizations. A reference purchasing organization can negotiate a comprehensive contract that can be used by other purchasing organizations.
 The purchasing organizations responsible for procurement in the individual plants can issue release orders against this centrally agreed contract, thus availing themselves of its more favorable terms and conditions.
When you assign purchasing organizations to a reference purchasing organization, the conditions of the reference organization can be used by other purchasing organizations for price determination.
You can assign several purchasing organizations to one reference purchasing organization, but a single purchasing organization should not be assigned to multiple reference purchasing organizations.
