Purchase Group Default

Hello All,
Standard SRM has this functionality to default a purchase group based on product category and organization ID. Is it possible to default the purchase group in the shopping cart for ERP material numbers when shopped from Interna Materials/Services.
I assume this funtionality is present in SAP ERP.
We are in SRM 7.0 ERP 6.0 EHP4

Sathya

HI
It should work. Try this at your end:
1. Check the Material group(Prod Category ) of the internal material you are using in your Shopping cart
2. Assign the product category in the product responsibility of the purchase group you want to default, in the organization structure. The user department should also be there in org responsibility of the respective purchase group

  • Purchasing group sequence and defaults

    Folks
    We are in SRM 50 and was wondering if anyone has tinkered with the sequence of purchasing groups for a buyer, while creating a shopping cart ? If so, how?
    To explain, when the buyer logs in and he/she is responsible for say 4 purchasing groups, the system seems to be sorting purchasing groups based on the organization ID and it assigns the first purchasing group as default (It used to be the last one in the order in EBP 30, before we upgraded). Even this has exceptions at times. How is the sort sequence of the purchasing group determined/controlled?
    Any insights would be appreciated.

    Hi
    Welcome to the world of SRM. )
    Actually, it depends on the Organizational chart maintained in the SRM system using PPOMA_BBP transaction. For each company code in SRM, there will be at least one Puchase organization assigned to it, which in turn might be linked with several Purchase groups. (this is what you have maintained in PPOMA_BBP , inside the Extended Attributes section of the main root node of the Organization )
    - Well it depends .. sometimes, you might maintain the attributes at every level of the org units.
    Anyways, I will try to help you out on the Defaulting Purchasing group logic as well.
    Well, until, SRM 4.0, we have noticed, purchasing groups based on the organization ID and it assigns the first purchasing group as default. It is sure.
    After SRM 5.0, this purchasing group defaulting is changed to last, as in your case... ( I am not sure.. about this), might be some other reason can be behind this...
    Which SRM scenario are you using ?
    <u>You can control the Puchasing group by implementing the BADIs.. The Standard SRM system provides various BADIs to get this job done.</u>
    Please do read the standard documentation available with them, before writing any code for the custom BADI Implementations.
    Refer to the following Business Add-Ins (BADIs) in SE18 Transaction.
    <b>BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI
    BBP_PGRP_FIND_BADI</b>
    <u>In BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, you can change the already defined Purchasing group, based on your business logic and requirements.</u>
    In BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI, you can issue customer error messages incase the Purchasing group selected does not match with the company code, etc.. as per you business requirements.
    Similarly, In BBP_PGRP_FIND_BADI, you can make your changes accordingly.
    Let me know incase you face any issues.

  • The default value of purchasing group in "carry out Sourcing "

    Dear , expert :
         I work in SRM7.0 ,ECS!
       I have two questions about the screen of    "carry out Sourcing ":
    1,How can set the default value of purchasing group ?Now the default is empty .
    2.The purchaser can select many purchaser group here ,I want to know what controls this .in the group responsibility ?
    Thanks!

    Hi Alex
    If there are more purchase group responsible for one product category. the end user (requestor) can select which purchase group before he order a cart.
    so that sc goes to respective purchaser cockpit  in the sc ?
    if you have only one purchase group responsible . no probem
    or
    redistribute workload
    you can distribute your cart to another purchaser
    for eg. initailly ALEX is purchase group in the sc.
    now you can transfer MASA purchase group  via redistribution workload
    so now the sc shows in the MASA cockpit with new purchase group as MASA instead of ALEX purchase group name

  • Default Purchasing Group in Purchase Order from user parameters of an user

    Hi Team,
    I have an issue in defaulting the Purchasing Group in PO.
    The Purchase Order is capturing the Purchasing Group of the Contract when the PO is created with reference to a Purchase Requisition which in turn is created with reference to a contract.
    The Customer says he has default Purchasing Group in his user profile - parameter tab which would always overwrite any other Purchasing Group. But now, he is getting the Purchasing Group of the contract in the Purchase Order.
    Team,
    Request you to post your comments/ suggestions for this.

    Dear,
    System is behaving in the correct manner..
    If at all P GRP is maintained in contract....It will be defaulted in the PO.
    If there is no P grp data in the ref doc, then system will check the default parameters maintained in the User profiles.

  • Purchasing Groups values not populated in PR default settings - ME51N ??

    Hi,
    We have SAP R/3 MM ECC 6.0.
    I want to set Purchasing Group as one of the default parameters in ME51N (Purchasing Requisition) screen.
    The problem is I have selected 'Purchasing Group' as a default parameter in 'Default Values'/ 'Personal Settings' but,
    the Drop-down help does not show up any values for Purchasing Group to be selected as default.
    However, I can set-up 'Account assignment' & 'Item Category' as defaults and, I can choose their default values.
    Therefore, in result, I do not have any Purchasing Group set as default for my PRs.
    Is there a configuration setting required to populate the drop-down box of Default Settings (for purchasing group)
    with Purchasing Group values? Please advise.
    Could this be a bug?
    Thanks,
    Ruchika

    Hi Karthik,
    I have already done these steps.
    The problem is - Purch. Group field is there in Default settings but, it doesn't show me any values to select from and
    set a Default value.
    None of the purchasing groups available in system are appearing here.  The selection list is Blank.
    Is there anything I need to do to bring the P.Group values in the drop-down selection list of Personal settings?
    Thanks,
    Ruchika

  • How to Set default Purchasing Group in SC

    Hi Experts,
    We have define on PPOMA_BBP the Purchasing Org, and Purch. Groups.
    For each Purch. Group. we have set the Organizational Responsability (Object ID) ,
    Some Purch. Groups are defined to same Organizational Responsability (Object ID) ,
    So, we need to assign one of the Purch. Groups as a default for the SC.
    There is no any Attribute for it.
    How we can set the default one?
    Thanks,
    Moshe

    Hi,
    1) In the PPOMA__BBP you can define in the attribute tab the Purchase group can be  made as default.
    Without attribute you cannot create a shopping cart.
               (or)
    If you are creating shopping cart in this the is a DEFAULT SETTINGS available you can make the purchase group as DEFAULT
    Please try and reply

  • Defaulting value of Purchasing Group based on Company Code

    Hi All,
    Currently we have two company codes C1 and C2 each have one - one purchasing org(PO1 and PO2) and purchasing group(PG1 and PG2). So Now hierarchy is as below: -
    C1
      PO1
        PG1
    C2
      PO2
        PG2
    Now user of company code C1 can shop for C2 and vice versa but whenever he shops for C1 his Porg and Pgroup should be PO1 and PG1 only and same in the case for C2. Currently on shopping cart screen both company code C1 and C2 are appearing and like wise values of PO1 : PG1 and PO2 : PG2 is appearing in drop down list.
    Now client is asking that whenever he selects C1 as company code PO1 : PG1 should appear as default entry and for C2, PO2 : PG2.
    Can anyone tell me how this can be achieved and which BADI we are suppose to use to implement this solution?
    Thanks

    You shouldn't require a badi, look into the users attributes and extended attributes to see if that is where the extra information is stored.

  • Purchasing Groups not defaulting to all new line items

    Hi,
    We are on SRM 4.0. currently, we can only assign a user to one purchasing group.Now my problem is Purchasing Groups not defaulting to all new line items (when changed in default settings).If any one faced this problem help me out.
    regards,
    sobhan

    Sobhan,
    Depending on your material group, the purchaing group will be defaulted. According to the responsibility tab and SPRO Config define objects in the backend system, the purchaing group will default in your basic data of the shopping cart screen.
    Even though in your default settings you will assign a Purchaing group, the purchasing group will be defaulyed on the basis of the above two crietrias mentioned.
    Please assigbn points for usefull answer !!

  • Change Default purchasing group in requisition

    Hi,
    I have a purhcasing group X populated  from info record while creating the requisitions using ME51N.
    When i try to overwrite the default purchasing group with new purchasing group, systme does not allow.
    System doesnot allow to change the default purcasing group.
    How can i get rid of this ??

    I do not get any error . If in place of original purchasing group (which is defaulted from Info record) , i write new purchasing group then while saving system again changes it back to the original purchasing group.
    I should be able to change the pur. group as i want. But system doens't allow that.
    What can be the reason ??

  • The correct purchasing group is not being determined in the SC line item

    Dear all,
    I have a problem in that for some reason, when a shopping text line item is added to the shopping cart, the wrong purchasing group is determined. Further more when you look in the basic data section they is a drop down against the purchasing group field listing all pruchasing groups setup in the org plan via PPOMA_BBP.
    This means that the requisitioner can change the purchasing group to any one even the one that is not relevant to his or her Purchasing Organisation. This of cause is not right because if the requisitioner is allowed to change the P/Grp, the wrong buyer may end up recieving the buyer completion work item.
    What is causing this?
    We have uniquely assigned P/Orgs to P/Grps and assigned resposiibility of P/GRPS to one unique ORg unit (company).
    for example, a suppose product Category 1234567 is assigned to P/GRP 100 & P/GRP 100 is assigned to P/ORG 1000 and the P/GRP responsibility is set to Org unit(company) 1000,  The requisition "sits" under an orgunit linked to company 1000.
    If a requisitioner creates a text item and assigns product category 1234567, when the item is added to the shopping cart , I expect to see that the followig:
    1. The Company code(CC)should be 1000 (This is happening)
    2. The P/org should be 1000(This is happending)
    3. The Plant sssignment is correct
    4. The p/grp is worong. It appear that the first P/Grp is assigned plus a drop down listing all p/grps created for all purchasing P/Orgs.
    Regards,
    Grace

    Yann,
    Yes , we have (need to have)set 2 purchasing groups with the responsibility of the same product category. We have to do this because in our organisation, individual company purchasing organisations have same responsibilities to purchase similar products.
    Please note that we have a classic scenario implementation. SRM 4, Server 5.
    The business requirement and settings in the org plan is for example:
    P/Grp 100 has the reponsibility to procure Prod cats LAM001 to LAM010 via its assigned P/org 1000 which is linked to  own company 1000 and P/grp 200 also has the reponsibility to procure Prod cats LAM001 to LAM010  via its assigned P/org 2000 which is linked to own company 2000.
    Please note that thr buyer responsible for p/grp 100 & 200 are the same and will be the same for similar product cats across the organisation as a whole. Its just the SRM does not allow you in the orgplan to assign the same p/grp to multiple p/orgs, we had to double up on the p/grps.
    Also when a requisitioner who sits under company 2000 chooses a product cat 12345 if creating a SC text line, we DO NOT WANT the requisitioner to change the assigned p/grp.We want it defaulted to 200 (based on the org plan setting I have described above) and fixed(greyedout)
    when thr line item viewed in the basic data section.
    Do you think that because we have set the prod cat range LAM001 to LAM010, which is an alphanumeric product cat range, that could also be the reason for the dropdown listing all orplan p/grps even ones that do not have the product cat LAM001 to LAM010 in its responsubility assignments?
    If you are saying that the system does not know which p/grp to pick, why its it displaying all "unrelated" p/rps in the dropdown. I atlest expect to see two p/grps in the dropdown 100 & 200, because only these two p/grps have been set with product cat responsibility for LAM001 to LAM010 in our org plan.
    Also if you are saying that is the way SRM was designed to work (which may be the case!!!) how then can we set the org plan to meet our the purchasing org/purchasing grp /prod cat responsibility requirements I have described above?

    Grace

  • Same Purchasing group assigment to multiple Purchasing Org

    Dear all,
    I am facing an issue in SRM 5.0 in Classic Scenario.
    In R/3 the freedom exist to assign independently the Purchasing Organization and the Purchasing Group to a PREQ or PO.
    Then the following lists have been created:
    <u>PurchORG</u>:
    - PORG1: Porg of country 1
    - PORG2: Porg of country 2
    <u>and PurchGROUP</u>
    - PGRP1: Pgrp Office sup
    - PGRP2: Pgrp IT
    and then I want to be able to use all the following combinations:
    PORG1-PGRP1
    PORG1-PGRP2
    PORG2-PGRP1
    PORG2-PGRP2
    To do that I create in my Organization Plan the following:
    - PORG1
         -PGRP11
         -PGRP12
    - PORG2
         -PGRP21
         -PGRP22
    However as I am in Classical Scenario I need to link the OrgPlan Pgrp to the coresponding in R/3
    - PORG1
         -PGRP11 >PGRP1
         -PGRP12 >PGRP2
    - PORG2
         -PGRP21 >PGRP1 : Error Purchasing group ... in system ... already assigned to ... (message BBP_ATTR 030)
         -PGRP22
    1) I have read somewhere but I can not find it anymore that the system messages can be updated to avoid this error and to allow that functionality. Has somebody done it? Where is it? I am correct?
    2) Otherwise do you have an option to do it? 
    How must I create my Org Plan as I suppose all Porg and PGrp must exist once in Org Plan.
    Then must I use the BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND with Determine Responsible Purchasing Group(s) BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND.  Can you explain how, or provide piece of code.
    I looked in doculentation but I don't see clearly the difference between the 2 exit objects (they seem duplicate for me):
    - ES_PURCH_DATA - This output structure should contain the object type and the object ID of the default purchasing group and the higher-level purchasing organization. If you are dealing with a backend purchasing group (purchasing organization), then you must also define the corresponding backend IDs.
    - ET_PURCH_DATA - This output table passes the list of all responsible purchasing groups and their higher-level purchasing organizations. A table line is formed corresponding to structure ES_PURCH_DATA.
    Thanks in advance

    Re: Purchasing group from external requirements
    Re: Sample code for BADI implementation
    Every purchaser will be assigned to the relevant purchasing groups in Organization structure and purchasing groups have the product responsibility (product category) and person/organization responsiblility assigned in the 'Responsibility' tab. I think this should be sufficient to get the linkage.
    Re: "Proc_Group" assignment to shopping cart  from transferred requisitions
    Using BAdI BBP_PGRP_FIND for purch.group determination
    Use Function Module -> BBP_OM_READ_PURCH_ORG_ID
    Give Logical system and Purchasing group to this FM.
    It will give you
    ES_PURCH_ORG-OT
    ES_PURCH_ORG-OBJID
    Use this info in table HRP1000(Infotype 1000 DB Table) to get the value of text.
    Function module - BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP
    The purchaing groups are responsible for product catrgories (material group) and not material numbers. If you use "describe requirement" to create a shopping cart, the purchasing group will default from this responsibilty of product categorty and not material number.
    Also the purchasing group can default on other criterias like the organizational responsibility and so on....
    Inorder to determine the reponsible purchase organization for creating shopping carts for all product categories, this task can be accomplished by implemeting the badi BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. here you have to write some logic to change the purchasing organization based on product category. In the purchasing cycle Purchase Organization is not responsible to procure the product, Purchase Group is responsible for the same. In the Organization structure after defining Purchasing organization, you might have define Purchase Group also in the purcase group RESPONSIBLE TAB you have to define the PRODUCT CATAGORY to be procure by this Purchase group.
    Do let me know.

  • Restricting for creation or PO for material with other purchase group

    Hi,
      We have one requirement  we want to restrict the user for creation of purchase order for the materials which is not in there purchasing group
    on ME21N  in order data we enter the Pur. Group  e,g  101  and if user enter the material XYZ  for which the purchasing group is 102 system should issue the error message for this, so what setting can be done for this
    regards,
    zafar

    the purchasing group in material master is just a default for requisitions that are created via MRP.
    user can enter whatever purchasing group they want in a requisition if they create one manually.
    the buyer usually looks in his worklist e.g. in ME57 by selection all requisitions that are assigned to him.
    However, if the buyer 101  is the holiday replacement to 102, then the general concept allows that buyer 101 can pull the requisitions of buyer 102 and change the purchasing group to 101 in the PO.
    If you dont want that, then restrict authorization based on object M_BANF_EKG (purchasing group in requisition)
