Assign a user ID (purchaser) to multiple position in org structure

Hello,
We have SRM ECS 5.0.
We would like that the buyers can be assigned to multiple purchasing groups in order they can view all the SC related to those purchasing groups in the Worklist of the sourcing cockpit.
Is it possible ?
I'm able to assign the user ID to several position created under the purchasing groups in the organizational structure, but then when I log on to the webUI, in the sourcing cockpit I can only see the SC from 1 purchasing group in the Worklist tab.
For example:
user buyer1 is assigned to position "purchasing group 1 position" and to "purchasing group 2 position" in the org structure.
First he was created under "purchasing group 1 position", then I added the user to the position "purchasing group 2 position".
When I log on to the system with this user, in the sourcing cockpit, in the worklist tab, I can only see SC for purchasing group 1.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Marc,
SRM does not allow one particular purchaser assigned to multiple purchasing groups at the same time. It is like you cannot ride two horses at the same time.
However, you can follow the below workaround if you want a particular purchaser to do buying for multiple purchase organizations.
first, let assign the buyer 1 to purchasing group 1 (which is inturn assigned to purchase organization 1). Now, in order to enable the buyer to do purchasing for purchasing group 2 (which is inturn assigned to Purchasing organization 2) and purchasing group 3 (which is in turn assigned to Purchasing Orgaization 3), you can follow the below steps:
1. Go to the responsibilities tab of the purchasing group 1.
2. Assign the purchasing organization 1 first in the org unit table.
3. Then, assign the purchasing orgaization 2 and and 3 in the org unit tab.
Now, the purchaser will be able to see shopping cart or purchase order for his own Purchase organization as well as purchase org 2 and 3.
I hope, it helps you to meet the requirement.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

Display of Person with position in Org Structure

Dear All,
We have a display issue, please help us to resolve.
While uploading the master data with help of BDC, the data is uploaded which has been checked properly showing data has been uploaded. But when we see the org structure through ppom_old we cant see person assignment to the positions.
chandan maity

Hi,
Whenever you run master data upload through BDC the relationships in OM are not created.
I am sure you have created the necessary positions in OM under Org Units and then used these positions in BDC to upload your IT 0001. But now you are not able to see the position - holder assignment in OM, right?
If this is your problem then go to SE38 and run program RHINTE00.
Select one or two persons for whom you have uploaded master data and run the above program for them
If you have already created OM objects then tick mark CREATE HOLDER RELATIONSHIPS ONLY
a session will be created with your username which you can process through SM35
please go through the documentation of the report to understand the use.
cheers

Want to use workflow ws20000075 to notify multiple Positions (HR org unit)

We use workflow WS20000075, in the config IMG 'Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order -> Workflow' , we assign agent HR Position to Release code. The workflow ws20000075 works fine to send workflow notification to 1 Position - procurement manager. Apparently the config only allow to assign 1 position only for a combination of release group and release code.
What we want to do is for the workflow WS20000075 to notify more than 1 positions (example, Assitance manager, manager and head of department) to release a purchase order. How can this be done ?
best regads,

Unfortunately I don't have SAP access at the moment, otherwise I would have checked if this is a dead end or not first.
For release of Purchase <u>Requisitions</u> the release codes take a parameter which is used to specify how the workflow is used for the release code (when you use release with classification). This parameter is left empty for no workflow, 1 for agent from customizing, and 9 for agent from user-exit (you need to implement an Enhancement).
If the same possibility exists for release of Purchase <b>Orders</b> here's a trick, assuming your agents can be derived from HR master data. If they can't there's always the possibility of a Z-table, but that requires additional data maintenance, which one should always try to avoid.
The thing is that you can define the agent in customizing, and read that value in your user-exit code. By combining the customizing information with other master data (purchasing group?, other) and HR information (job, organization unit) you can then find all the three agents you want. I've done a similar thing myself, but not for the purpose of finding multiple agents. Worked fine for my purpose, so it could be worth a try.

'BBPSC11' error in Monitor SC for one User having multiple positions but on

Hello,
'BBPSC11' error in Monitor SC for one User - having multiple positions in org structure - but having one BP code associated to all positions.
We have one BP ID associated to multiple positions of the same user - in multiple org structure.
The org unit is refered as one Project and like wise we have multiple projects people worked on.
Once the Proj is over we move the Users from one Proj (Org unit) to another Proj, with new Position created copying the old and associate old BP code to it.
With this when we go for Monitor SC option - enter User ID in Created By field - old SC are listed but we are getting error if we click on the Detail icon.
Error:The Internet Transaction Server could not start the transaction "BBPSC11" because of the following error: Attribute for user contains errors. Inform systemadmin. .
AD

Hi,
Pl. verify the user with txn-bbp_attr_check. It could be that the org. relationship of the user changed with what was captured on shopping cart. Also use txn-users_gen to repair the user.

CATS - Manager need to approve users reporting to him with out ORG Structur

Hi Gurus,
At our client, they did not have any Org Structure. They do not want to implement any Org struture.
They are implenting CATS (ESS). Users enter the Time sheets. Manager will approve the team members who report to him?
Is there any way how managers get ONLY see users reporting to him with out a ORG Structure?
I think we can do this restriction with Personnel Area and Personel Sub Areas but we need built separate role for each manager?
Please let me know if i am wrong.
Thanks,
Kshriram

Hi Srinivas,
I'm not sure about MSS. But you can integrate CATS with Project system and achieve this.

Multiple position for one central person and one user

Dear Guru's,
I have a requirement to create multiple position for a existing User - which already has CP Central Person and S Position.
How to create this new position and assign the same CP to all the new positions ?
Thanks and regards,
Anil Rajpal

Hi
Yes you can definitely do this
Create the new position and assign the CP to this position in transaction PPOME. You may find the position first there in PPOME, and then drag-drop the CP over the position to make the assignment. System will ask the percentage of responsibility.......which you will ve to enter...

SAP IDM position based security with user in multiple positions

Hi,
In case of Higher Duties, we have a scenario where a user can have multiple positions with access to the business roles of both the positions.
The design is to have one business role assigned to one position so that the user can have all the access he requires.
In case of higher duties, we see an exception.
Has anyone implemented such a scenario?
Inputs/advices are much valued.
Thanks
Chaitanya

Hi Chaitanya,
Is it possible to assign more than one position to an employee in HCM?
If so, there is many ways of dealing with that from IDM side, I don't know precisely your business requirement, what you need to maintain and what should be dynamic, but i can suggest you to :
1. Translate every position you receive from HR to a Business role and assign as many Business roles you want to the same user.
From HCM you will receive :
Employee :
- Z_POSITION_ID1 :1
- Z_POSITION_ID2 : 2
In IDM
Employee
- Member of BR1
- Member of BR2
2. If you have a lot of attributes related to HR position on user (link user-position) to maintain , then create a custom Object in IDM (entrytype Z_POSITION).
You wil be able to manage relations much easier than a simple relation (One-to-one attribute)
Otherwise, It worth to look over this blog for general design of HCM integration :

Problems with assigning user to Purchase Group

Hi all!
I'm trying to set-up standard workflow WS 20000397 - Handling invoices blocked due to price.
Somehow I left something out as nothing is sent to my inbox when a invoice is blocked.
It starts fine but it can't find and agent when I check the log.
I've created an org. structure with a company, that has one organizational unit under it.
To this I've assigned a position and thereafter a user to this with my user ID.
Then I've created an assignment in PFOM whera I assigned SO T024 001 (Purch. Group 1) to my newly created Position.
I have found Purch group 001 using F4 so no mispellings could be the case.
In the container I can see that it has found the correct purchasing group (001) with my created position (the S-code for the position is even shown as an agent in the container)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
//Roland

Error while assigning the user to orgunit and position

Hi,
We are having the below issue :
1.       Obtain the HR master record (P Ids) created by interface - ECC
2.       Assign a valid user to this HR master record -ECC
3.       Do the position/Org assignment against this P Id or personnel master record - ECC
4.       Transfer the Org Id, then the position ID and then the personnel master ID (P Id) to SRM u2013 ECC
5.       Check if the user is in SYNC in SRM - Ideally he should inherit the mandatory parameters from the above Orgs in the structure without which he shall not be able to shop in SRM u2013 step executed in SRM
Please let us know if this process is as per the expectation.
If so, we are ending up with error in the third step where the assignment is not allowed since the personnel master record is created with prior date than the position and the Org units.
Actually we are getting the idoc with user alone from other system, org and position ids are blank. So we are assigning the user in the system and we are getting above error.
Is this the correct process to bring the users alone into the system and doing the position/organization assignment in ECC now?
Or the Idoc comes with this data as well?
Regards
Venkatesh P
Edited by: Venkatesh Padarti on Mar 5, 2012 5:33 AM

Thank you vikas for your reply.
So we should bring all the data in the idoc(O,S,P). Even though O, S are present in the receiving sytem?

How do I assign a user ID to the purchasing group so it shows up on table..

How do I assign a user ID to the purchasing group so it shows up on table T024? I'm trying to create a STO but am recieving the following error
Configuration of User ID is not set up in purchasing group T024 table
    Message no. 00398
Diagnosis
    Placeholder for batch input error text, this message is not output.
    Configuration of User ID is not set up in   purchasing group T024 table
Thanks in advance

Table T024 has no field for a user-Id in standard SAP
you can only tie a user to a purchsing group via authorization with user roles.
The message 00398 is a generic message that can be used for everything.
I guess this message is triggered in a userexit. Designed by a collegue of you.

Multiple Positions for One Employee (OrgChart Campaign)

I am trying to determine if the OrgChart campaign offering will meet the needs of my client. They have an interesting setup where they assign one employee to multiple positions (example: 50% to one position, 50% to another position, etc). I want to confirm that the OrgChart campaign offering will pick this up and reflect each position and its holder even if the holder is represented in another org unit attached to another position. I assume this is possible since it uses the O-S-P relationship search but since we have trouble with some of the standard SAP reports returning only one position I just wanted to check.
Thank you!

Hi there,
Before I start you may wish to use TVN OrgChart 2.1 which was recently released on Service Marketplace as it contains all the functionality of the Accelerated Campaign offering with a bit more functionality and some bug fixes from TVN2.0.
OrgChart's standard functionality in this area is to show a node (box) for each position. Where two or more people sit in the same position it shows a node for each of these employees.
In your scenario where a person sits in two positions within different orgunits, OrgChart will represent this as two nodes - one in each orgunit.
I hope that helps!

Error when assigning business partners to positions in org. mgmt.

Hello,
I've got the following problem. I want to assign business partners to a position in organisation management. When doing this, the following error occurs:
"Object cannot be assigned to object xxx in the period xx.xx.xxxx - xx.xx.xxxx"
(xxx is the position to which the business partner should be assigned)
The number of this error message is 5A368.
Diagnosis in the detailed description of this message:
"The object period of object '1st Level Support' is not within the relationship period 26.03.2007 - 31.12.9999."
I've changed the object period of the position "1st Level Support" to several other dates, but it did not solve the problem.
The described problem does not occur, when assigning an user to this position.
Can anybody help me with this problem? I'm using SolMan 4.0.
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for your answer so far. Unfortunately it's not possible for me to upgrade to SP11. So I tried to solve the problem the way you described. I double-clicked the position on the left, the desired position is shown in the main screen and I try to assign the business partner to the position. But the same error appears.
Are there any other possible solutions?
What are the consequences of assigning users to a position instead of business partners?
