Symptom
- When creating purchase requisitions in a specific Company Code against a different Plant/Purchasing Organization, users encounter the error message:
- "Cross-company-code purchasing is not allowed".
- Additionally, the error message "No postings can be made to profit center <Profit Center ID> in company code <Company Code>" is sometimes displayed.
- The issue occurs inconsistently and appears to be linked to the "My User Defaults" section in the My Purchase Requisitions app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the My Purchase Requisitions app.
- Create a new purchase requisition.
- Select a Plant/Purchasing Organization belonging to a different company code than the one in the user’s defaults.
- Save or proceed to create the requisition.
- The following error messages may appear:
- "Cross-company-code purchasing is not allowed"
- "No postings can be made to profit center <Profit Center ID> in company code <Company Code>"
Resolution
Use the identified below workaround:
- Navigate to My User Defaults.
- Clear existing values for Company Code, Plant, and Purchasing Organization.
- Re-enter the correct values (e.g., set all to the company/plant/purchasing org where the project resides).
- Refresh or log out/log in again before creating a new purchase requisition.
- This ensures the requisition picks up the correct defaults and avoids the cross-company code error.
- The issue has been fixed as part of the 2602CL update, which will be deployed to production systems by 16.02.2026.
- Until the fix is implemented, continue using the workaround to mitigate the issue.
