Assign Purchasing Group to an Item in CCM catalog

Hi SRM/CCM gurus,
I'd like to seek assistance on how to check setup of the catalog items because each item is tagged to a specific purchasing group which appears during shopping cart creation. I will just inquire where to change or add purchasing groups that are available for the item.
TIA for the replies.
Regards.

Hi
I believe upon settings of responsibiliuty of product category under purchase group will determine which PG is responsible for that cart right. pposa_bbp

How to change an existing line item in CCM catalog using CSV file?

Dear All,
We are using SRM5.0 and CCM 2.0
We have uploaded the material and service master to CCM as supplier catalog from R/3.
The initial Upload was doen successfully.
My query is how to reflect the delta changes in CCM happening in R/3?
If I can generate a CSV file with all those items wich has been changed (Changes can be in description, Plant, status etc) and upload the same file in CCM, will it update the existing line in CCM or create a new line item?
How do i update an existing line item in CCM catalog using a CSV file?
Thanks
Abhishek

Hi Atul,
I am using CCM 2.0 and SRM 5.0 (EBP5.5).
We are not using XI, so i guess we cant use the program "/ccm/file_upload".
we have migrated the product master data from R/3.
We have developed a report which takes product category as input and gives out flat file in csv format containg all the items in that prod category.
Then we upload the file in CCM by logging thro the brpwser.
Similarly, i can develop another program which will give me a CSV file foll all those items changed in R/3 in a day.
Then we can upload that file in CCM.
But i have doubt if it will update the existing items in catalog.
Hope I could make myself clear.
Thanks
Abhishek

PO Group for different Purchasing Groups of SC Items

Hi ,
I want to create a single PO if 2 different PO Groups are available for items in SC.
I could see that standard code is splitting PO for different vendors different Purchasing Groups contracts and soo on.
is it possible to create a single PO for my case mentioned above.
I am using BADI BBP_BS_GROUP_BE for this but don't understand how to go about it.
Please help with your useful suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi
PO can be splitted based on Header Data
Company Code
Purchasing Organization,
Purchase Group
Vendor
It also depends upon the backend customizing for assignmnet of plant to Purchasing Organization

Assigning Purchase groups to plants or Purchase Org

Hi
Can the purchase groups be assigned to plants or purchase organisation? Or we can use the authorisation managment to restrict the user of one group in one plant to use purchase group of another plant?
Regards

Hi,
You can not link Purchase Groups directly to Plant or Purchase Org.
You can use following authorisation objects to restrict the Purchase Groups;
M_BANF_EKG - Purchasing Group in Purchase Requisition
M_ANFR_EKG - Purchasing Group in RFQ
M_BEST_EKG - Purchasing Group in Purchase Order
M_RAHM_EKG - Purchasing Group in Outline Agreement

IF sy-subrc = 0.
 gs_scr_basic_i-proc_group = wa_orgdata-proc_group_ot.
 gs_scr_basic_i-proc_group+2(12) = wa_orgdata-proc_group_id.
 gs_scr_basic_i-proc_org = wa_orgdata-proc_org_ot.
 gs_scr_basic_i-proc_org+2(12) = wa_orgdata-proc_org_id .
 read purch. group description
 CLEAR wa_orgdata_i.
 READ TABLE <item>-orgdata

Purchasing Group in equipment BOM ( Item level)

At the time of creating equipment BOM , purchasing group in equipment BOM (item level ) will be in sync with material master purchasing data.
When we change purchasing data (Purchasing group) in material master at that time system will not change purchasing group in old equipment BOM's at item level. Is there any standard method to maintain purchasing group in old equipment BOM in sync with purchasing group in material master data (System ECC 6.0 ehp5)
Thanks and Regards,
Pankaj

Thanks for reply Peter ,
Because of this issue wrong information is flowing to PR (when component selected from equipment BOM in work order).
Is there any negative impact if I will remove purchasing group at BOM item level ?
I did analysis for this and found no negative impact on PR , still looking for expert advice as client is not looking for any core modification.
Thanks and Regards,

Should Purchasing group be assigned to a purchasing organization.

Do we need to assign purchasing group to a Purchasing organization. If not then why.
Seems like silly question but please help me out conceptually.

Hi,
No need to assign purchase group to purchase organization.
Because if your are assigning purchase group to the perticular purchase organization, purchase group can raise Purchase order to that purchase organization only. He/She can't raise PO for the another organization.
That's why there is no assignment link for Purchase group to Purchase organization in the SPRO - Enterprise structure.
So, Any purchase group can raise PO for the any purchase org.

Purchase org & purchasing group

Hi,
How can we create a pur org at enterprise level ?
If we create a purch org at plant level, is it necessary to assign that purch org to the company code ?
is it necessary to assign purchasing group to the purchase org ?
Thanks & Regards

Hi
check help provided by SAP on P org.
which will clear ur doubt
From the Materials Management and Purchasing view, the purchasing organization is responsible for all purchasing activities (including the processing of requests for quotations and purchase orders, for example).
The purchasing organization is integrated within the organizational structure as follows:
A purchasing organization can be assigned to several company codes.
(= Corporate-group-wide purchasing).
A purchasing organization can be assigned to one company code.
(= Company-specific purchasing).
A purchasing organization can also exist without being assigned to a company code.
Since each plant must be assigned to a company code, the latter can be determined via the plant at the time of each procurement transaction even if the procuring purchasing organization has not been assigned to a company code.
A purchasing organization must be assigned to one or more plants.
(= Plant-specific purchasing).
A purchasing organization can be linked to one or more other purchasing organizations.
(= reference purchasing organization)
For more on this topic, refer toAssign Purchasing Organization to Reference Purchasing Organization.
A purchasing organization can be divided into several purchasing groups that are responsible for different operational areas.
Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing.
Each purchasing organization has its own vendor master data.
Each purchasing organization evaluates its own vendors using MM Vendor Evaluation.
Authorizations for processing purchasing transactions can be assigned to each purchasing organization.
All items of an external purchasing document, that is, request for quotation, purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement, belong to a purchasing organization.
The purchasing organization is the highest level of aggregation (after the organizational unit "client") for purchasing statistics.
The purchasing organization serves as the selection criterion for lists of all purchasing documents.
Possible organizational forms
You can organize your purchasing function in the following ways:
Corporate-group-wide purchasing
Company-specific purchasing
Plant-specific purchasing
All of these forms can co-exist within a single client.
Corporate-group-wide purchasing:
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of different company codes.
In this case, you do not assign a company code to the purchasing organization, but specify the company code concerned for each individual purchasing transaction. You assign plants from different company codes to the purchasing organization.
Company-specific purchasing:
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of just one company code.
In this case, you assign a company code to the purchasing organization. The purchasing organization may procure only for this company code. You assign only plants of the company code concerned to the purchasing organization.
Plant-specific purchasing:
A purchasing organization is responsible for the purchasing activities of one plant.
In this case, you assign the plant and the company code of the plant to the purchasing organization. The purchasing organization may procure for this plant only.
Note
If you wish to work with a mixture of the above organizational forms, the reference purchasing organization is of significance to you.
It is possible to allow one purchasing organization to access the contracts and conditions of another - a so-called reference purchasing organization. This makes it possible for advantageous terms negotiated by one purchasing organization to also be used by other purchasing organizations.

Document type wise PO with display & optional purchasing group.

Dear All,
we have six document type from NB1 to NB6 every document type has separate no ranges, & having three field selection as Me21n, fof, NBF,
in Spro MM Define screen layout at document level, in that we assign document type NB5 & attach field selection FOF in that purcahsing group is optional.
same other dovcument types we assign field selection Me21n & we assign purchasing group is Display option.
our requirement is that when i select documenyt type NB5, purchasing group will optional not in display.
But system shows display & we cant do PO.
Please guide me or any other config.
Thanks
Shital

Hi,
System is giving first preference to Field Selection Key ME21N, so you have to reverse the condition.
Maintain ME21N as optional and assign document type NB5 to it and
For other dovcument types Create another Field Selection Key with purchasing group as Display option and
assign that field selection key for purchasing group is Display option.

Vendor Responsibility for Purchasing Groups

Hi experts!
We should assign vendor responsibility for purchasing groups, what means depending on which vendor / source-of-supply is selected in the shopping cart the correct purchasing group is assigned.
Do you have any idea how to handle this in SAP standard?
Can we use a BADI to help out?
Many thanks for your ideas.
Best regards,
Corinne

Purchasing group determination in Shopping cart

Hi All,
when I am creating Shopping cart and choose Free Text Describe what you want and then I find that Purchasing group filed at item data tab is not available.
But when I am selecting select goods/service and choose Product Id then shopping cart is determining back end purchasing group and purchasing group field is shown at Item data tab.
why SC is not showing Purchasing group field for free text items.
Can any one has this similar issue in your system.
I am on SRM7.01 Extended classic scenario.
Abdul Raheem

Hi Nikhil,
If I choose the one material for the same product category in SC , it is picking back end purchasing group.
But If i am choosing free text item and selects the same product category , Purchasing group field, it self is not showing in SC.
I wonder, if I create a Local purchase group, and create a free Text SC for the same product categoy, it is picking local Purchaing group.

Limit/Blanket Purchase Orders and CCM Catalogs

Hi,
Is it possible to put Limit/Blanket Purchase Order items into CCM Catalogs?
John

Hi
It is possible to put anything into a catalog - however that does not mean the catalog item will be interpreted or acceptable to the SRM_SERVER, when passing data from a catlaog, the provided information has to be sufficient to allow for successful creation of a procurement document (not a limit/blanket order), i.e. you need either Material Number or Description, based on which of these are passed you may also then require vendor/UOM/quantity, price etc, it is clearly defined in note [395312|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=395312].

Purchasing groups as authorisation objects

I belive one can restrict the role of a user to create/display/edit purchsing documents by assigning purchasing groups with those characteristics or are the characteristics defined as authorization objects in the users role? I havent seen any customizations related to purchasing groups where we can restrict those groups to create/editing/displaying purchsing documents.
How do we make this assignemnt since purchasing groups are not part of the org structure.
Thanks
Edited by: Akhilpuri on Nov 4, 2011 10:49 AM

Dear Akhil,
In the Transaction code: PFCG look Purchasing Document role (click on the [LINK|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/52/6714a9439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/frameset.htm] to understand the concept of ROLE)
You can use this: Object M_BEST_EKG Purchasing Group in Purchase Order to assign Purchasing Groups and assign Activity like Display to control user role.
You can assign ACTVT = Create/Change/Display there are other activities like delete etc.
One more [USEFUL|http://www.fh-trier.de/uploads/tx_rfttheses/LamotteManuel.pdf] document about role and authorization concept.
Hope you will find these useful!
