3663902 - Error when creating Purchase Order with plant from a different company code in SAP S/4HANA Cloud

• Error when creating a purchase order (PO) with a plant that belongs to a different company code than the PO header.

• System message example: “Please only use plants with local currency …”

• Cross-company code purchasing in a single PO is not possible.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create a Standard Purchase Order.

2. Assign a company code at PO header level.

3. At item level, select a plant that belongs to a different company code.

4. Try to save the PO.

5. System issues an error and PO cannot be created.

• Standard system behavior.

• A purchase order must always reference a plant belonging to the same company code as the PO header.

• SAP defines cross-company purchasing as intercompany trade between different company codes, not as mixing company codes within one PO.

1. It is not possible to create a Purchase Order where the PO header company code and the plant belong to different company codes.

2. To achieve cross-company procurement, use the following supported approaches:

   • Intercompany Purchase Orders – One company code creates the PO and treats the other company code as a vendor. This allows correct delivery and intercompany billing.
