• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON060 - Cross Company Code Purchasing is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON060 indicates that cross-company code purchasing is not allowed in the system. This typically occurs when a purchase requisition or purchase order is being created that involves multiple company codes, which is not permitted based on the configuration settings in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Cross-Company Code Configuration: The system is configured to disallow cross-company code transactions. This is often a business rule to ensure that purchasing activities are kept within the same company code for accounting and reporting purposes.
  Purchase Requisition/Order Setup: The purchase requisition or order may have items that belong to different company codes, which triggers this error.
  Master Data Issues: The vendor or material master data may be set up in a way that associates them with different company codes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Company Code Settings: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system to see if cross-company code purchasing is allowed. This can be done in the following way:
  
  Go to SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) and navigate to:
  
  Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set Up Cross-Company Code Purchasing.
  
  
  If cross-company code purchasing is required, you may need to adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Purchase Requisition/Order: Ensure that all items in the purchase requisition or order belong to the same company code. If they do not, you may need to split the requisition/order into separate documents for each company code.
  
  
  Vendor and Material Master Data: Check the vendor and material master records to ensure they are correctly assigned to the appropriate company codes. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the vendor master data (transaction code XK03) and checking the company code data.
  Going to the material master data (transaction code MM03) and checking the plant and company code assignments.
  
  
  
  Consult with Business Process Owners: If cross-company code purchasing is a requirement for your business processes, consult with your business process owners or SAP functional team to discuss the implications of changing the configuration.
