Amending Purchasing Groups on a production client

Our production client is set to 'not modifiable' within SCC4.
Our customer wishes to directly maintain MRP Controllers and Purchasing Groups on the production client. Currently amendments are made on development
system on a transport and transported through.
It is possible to amend MRP Controllers on the production client using OMD0 despite client being 'not modifiable' .
However unable to amend Purchasing Groups on production client using OME4 due to client being 'not modifiable' .
Does anyone know how to get round this so that Purchasing Groups can be amended ?
Note - System is MySAP2004 (ECC 5.0)
Regards
Phil.

You have 2 options:
1) Create a Z t-code and a program which directly updates the table T024 (Purchasing Group)
2) Use 'Current Setting' option. See note 135028 on how to do this. This is the preferred option.

Update Purchasing group directly in production system

Hi,
We keep getting purchasing group changes requests and we follow conventional approach, configure in development - move to Quality and then to Production.
Since we have high number of requests, we are exploring the direct maintenance in Production system. Please advise on the best approach to this.
thanks
Mahesh

there is an alternative missing.
you can change a customizing activity to be a master data activity, and you do not need to have the PRODuction system open for customizing..
this is explained in OSS Note 135028 - Transfer IMG activity to current setting
However, I have made my experience in the past as I joined my current employer. In this system the purchasing groups were maintained in production system, which I did not know, and some key user did not know too, as they asked me to add a new purchasing group. I did this in the development system and transported to prouction.
And it happened, that I added a purchasing group in developement that was already accopied in production, so the entry in production got overwritten with my transport. so for a couple of days 2 buyers worked with the same purchasing group, they did not even realize it, as nobody is really looking at a PO form if a system is live for many years. This caused some trouble with statistics and as well with communications between vendors and us.
a second experience was made by the fact that people had deleted purchasing groups, after buyers had left the company. But SAP validates the existing of purchasing groups when archiving purchase orders. So I had to recreate all deleted purchasing groups before I could continue with archving.
I think that this experience is reason enough to not give this customizing activity into user hands.

Vendor Evaluation Purchasing Group wise

Dear Friends,
My clients Requirement is to evaluate vendors based on Product group wise.
I can use dedicated Buyers(purchasing group) for particular product group.
What is the possibility of evaluating vendors Purch. group wise in SAP.
Best Regards
Krishna

Hi ,
In Standard SAP , Vendor Evaluation is done at the purchase organisation level.All the data required for vendor evaluation is stored in the system acordingly.
In case you want to do vendor evaluation at purchase group level , you can acheive by custom developed program only.
In case , the same vendor is used by more than one purchase group ... There is no system check to control this . But the vendor master is maintained at the purchase organisation level that is why standard SAP is performing Vendor evaulation at the purchase organisation level..

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:
PurchORG:
- PORG1: Porg of country 1
- PORG2: Porg of country 2
and PurchGROUP
- 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: BAdI BBP_PGRP_FIND
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.

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
Regards
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

WRP1 considering Articles with different Purchase group

Hi
Gurus,
We
are facing issue in WRP1 program, in production system one STO is created
for many articles with different purchase group with same site,
But
My understanding is that when replenishment happens, different STOs will
be created for different purchase group for same site and client is also
expecting same thing...
Issue
- In STO articles are belongs to same site but different purchase
group, in PO header its updated purchase group as 002 but if check line items
Articles are from many purchase group like, 001 , 002 , 003 etc....
When
in header its showing purchase group as 002 it should consider articles
with same purchase group but its combining all articles belongs to same site
irrespective of purchase group.
Kindly advise
Regards,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
It's standard system behaviour. PO group on header level is for reporting purposes, it's not scoping the allowed articles on the item lines. Therefore, WRP1 creates the STO with a mixture of articles of several purchase groups.
Perhaps this apporach might be feasible for your challenge:
- In stead of creating STO, create purchase requisition as follow on document from WRP1 processing (see Store Order Control in SPRO);
- after WRP1 processing, run ME59N (also possible in background) for the purch. reqs. created in WRP1 with the parameter 'Per purchasing group' (and perhaps also 'Per site'). This should result in STO's per site/purchase group.

Johan

How to create Purchase group

Hai Guys,
What is the procedure to create my own Purchase group?
Kindly let me know the Steps..
Regards
Jino.

Hi,
You need to perform the following steps
Goto SPRO > Material management > Purchasing > Create purchasing group
Here you'll be able to enter the name, desciption, phone no., fax and e-mail Id of the purchasing group.
If you need to maintain the printer settings for the purchasing group please follow the below path
Goto SPRO > Material management > Purchasing > Messages > Assign output devices for the purchasing groups.
You'll have to maintain this in the development client and get it transported to production.
Hope this clarifies this issue.

Repeated purchasing groups across purchasing org

Hi there,
My client's setup requires the same set of purchasing groups across purchasing organizations. For example:
Purchasing Org 1:
PGRP1: SM1
PGRP2: SM2
Purchasing Org 2:
PGRP1: SM1
PGRP2: SM2
Reason being this is how it is setup in our R/3 system where all organization shares the same purchasing group.
How can I configure this in SRM?

Yes.
But, for one purchasing organization in SRM, you can have several purchasing groups (and not the reverse)

Not sure it is mandatory for confirmaton and invoice. Check by doing a complete purchasing flow.
