MM vendor purchasing org

Vendor is not created for purchasing organization

ME21N or source determination cannot use a supplier because purchasing-organization data is missing for that supplier.

Likely root causes

  1. The supplier/business partner lacks purchasing-organization data for the organization in the PO.
  2. The wrong purchasing organization was entered or derived.
  3. Supplier replication to the target system did not create the purchasing view.

What to inspect

  1. Supplier/BP purchasing-organization data.
  2. Purchasing organization on the PO/requisition.
  3. Supplier replication or CVI status when master data is distributed.

Resolution path

  1. Confirm the purchasing organization is correct.
  2. Extend the supplier to the required purchasing organization through approved master-data governance.
  3. Fix replication/CVI issues if the extension should already exist.
  4. Retest PO creation and partner/payment data.
