Symptom

Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Process Purchase Requisitions app.
- Select a purchase requisition that contains at least two items with different plants.
- Choose Create RFQ.
- In the RFQ header, manually enter a Company Code .
- Continue and attempt to save the RFQ.

Cause
Standard system behavior
Resolution
Standard SAP design permits cross-company code purchasing when the purchasing organization serves multiple company codes without strict validation for RFQ. Unlike purchase orders where company code validation can be enforced, RFQ creation bypasses these standard organizational checks. RFQs are treated as preliminary documents that do not require the same strict organizational validation as binding purchase orders.
