3681982 - Cross-company-code purchasing is not allowed in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The system issues error “Cross-company-code purchasing is not allowed (KI113)” when creating a purchase order in cases where the plant belongs to one company code while the assigned account assignment object (such as a cost center or WBS element) belongs to a different company code.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Attempt to create a purchase order.
2. Assign a plant to the purchase order item that belongs to one company code.
3. Assign an account assignment object (e.g., cost center or WBS element) that belongs to a different company code.
4. Observe the error message: "Cross-company-code purchasing is not allowed (KI113)."

• The system performs a company code consistency check between the plant assigned to the purchase order item and the account assignment object (e.g., cost center or WBS element).
• If the plant and account assignment object belong to different company codes, the system issues the error message KI113.
• This validation is part of the Controlling (CO) accounting interface and is designed to ensure that postings occur within a single company code.
• This behavior is standard accounting logic and cannot be suppressed or modified through message control or configuration activities in the public cloud.

1. Ensure that the account assignment object (e.g., cost center or WBS element) used in the purchase order belongs to the same company code as the plant maintained for the purchase order item.
2. For example, if the plant is assigned to company code DS01, use a cost center belonging to company code DS01.
3. Avoid using a cost center from a different company code (e.g., DS02), as this will trigger the error message KI113.
