3720852 - RFQ Creation from Purchase Requisition with Items from Different Plants Does Not Validate Company Code in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

RFQ is created successfully and output processing is completed, even if the Company Code entered in the header does not correspond to the Company Code of the plants in the selected items.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Process Purchase Requisitions app.
  2. Select a purchase requisition that contains at least two items with different plants. 
  3. Choose Create RFQ.
  4. In the RFQ header, manually enter a Company Code .
  5. Continue and attempt to save the RFQ.
  6. Open Output Details of the created RFQ.
  7. Observe that the output status is Completed.

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.
