Setting up a purchasing organization in an EBP system

Setting up a purchasing organization in an EBP system

I am currently trying to replicate the backend (SAP R/3) vendor data to my EBP system (3.0). I have created a Organizational unit to which I can assign the vendors, but when I run transaction BBPGETVD it keeps coming back with an error that my Purchase Org is not defined.

What do I need to do in order to set this purchasing organization up? I assume that this is the backend purchasing organization that has not yet been defined in my EBP system.


The problem you're facing is a fairly common one...Here are a few things to check:
1. Make sure that your Purchasing Org. is Checked to "Active". eg. it is Green.
2. If you've already set your purch.org, make sure you've assigned the RESP_PGRP attribute correctly.
3. Make sure that the Root Org of your Organization (Not the Vendor Org but the actual Root) is set to "Active"/

If this does not solve the issue then please check under OSS, there is a conscise note about this problem on SAP Support Site (OSS).
