Unable to assign the purchasing organization to company code

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

For generic rule, SAP does not have provision to delete any Organizational Structure Entity for an activated SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition system deployed by CBC. Once an organizational unit or assignment is confirmed, it cannot be deleted or unassigned. 

Resolution

For SAP Central Business Configuration customers:

  1. Click on initiate change and select “Organization structure”.
  2. Navigate to the “Set Up Organizational Structure” app.
  3. Check carefully for all the Org Unit and the assignment.
  4. Click on confirm and complete activity.
  5. Complete the remaining activities in “scope and org phase”.

After confirmed by the above step, you also can use SSCUI to manage Purchase Organization.
