How to solve SAP Purchasing organization not responsible for plant

When facing the error SAP Purchasing organization not responsible for plant while creating a Purchase Info Record (PIR), the root cause is most likely pretty simple : the purchasing organization hasn’t been defined for the plant.

As described in the Performance Assistant, some customization must be missing – if the values used are correct only, of course, as it might be that wrong values are being used.

In transaction SPRO, find Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Materials Management > Assign purchasing organization to plant

Here, add an entry with the required purchasing organization and the Plant.

Select a customizing request

And the new entry should now be there, therefore not having anymore the issue while creating a PIR
