Assigning PGroups to POrgs in SRM 5.0

Dear SRMers,
System Info : SRM 5.0, ECC 6.0
We have a business scenario where we need to assign a unique set of 7 Purchasing groups to 4 Purchasing Orgs. So these 7 PGroups need to be shared across the 4 POrgs.
Can you please let me know how to set up this in the Org structure in SRM.
And for reporting purposes we need to send the POrg and PGroup during Shopping cart order creation to R/3.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

Hi Bob,
it is possible in trx POMA_BBP using "Purchaser Assignment" view for the
PGroup. Have a look into SAP Note 836262.
After following the steps mentioned in the note, you will not find the purchaser´
assigned to the PGroup in PPOMA_BBP itself (where the default view would be
"Staff Assignment" view). The user would be still assigned to the other business
org unit. But in BUB3, when you display the available "Relationship" for the
purchaser's BP number, you would find a new "Is Employee of" relation to the
PGroup (in addition to the business org unit which the user already had). Then
the purchaser should be able to perform purchaser activities according to the role
assignment.
Cheers,
Claudia

How does system finds for a Porg assigned to which companycode in SRM?

Hi Experts,
can anyone calrify me.
I have a company code Node in my org structure and Pur Org under the same node of company code .
where my fuction tab of the Pur Org is not having the box checked with the company code and only Pur Org is ticked and maintained the respective Logical system,Do my system still fetches for the right company code for that particular
Pur Org or does it throws an error incase if the company code check box is unticked and not maintained any company code and logical system in the function tab of the Purgorg.
Please clarify me on these lines.
To be more clear about my claim.
My claim is that does it required to tick the box of the company code and logical system in the function tab or is it enough if we place the Pur Org node under the Company code node.
Regards,
Sairam.

Hi. It doesn't.
The company code comes from the company code that the user is under in the org plan.
For example, if I am under company code X in the org plan, that is the company code that will go in my shopping cart.
Then, if purchasing org A and purchasing org B are in their own org units separate from my own, and both have responsibility for my part of the org plan, I will actually be able to choose either in the shopping cart. This is done by choosing purchasing group.
A purchase org is not necessarily only responsible for 1 company code.
In R/3 / ECC config you do not have to attach a purchase org to a company code, you only have to attach them to plants, and if you attach 1 purchase org to more than 1 plant, the plants can belong to more than 1 company code.
You can attach a purchase org to a company code in R/3 / ECC. If you do this you must make sure that the purchase orgs in SRM only have responsibilty for the right company code that matches what is in R/3 / ECC.
You can also integrate the purchase orgs and groups in the org plan above the users that belong to them, by setting the responsibility of the part of the structure that I am under.
For example, if you have 1 department that is 1 purchasing group, you can set that depertments org unit to have the function of the purchase group, and set resposibility as itself. That means any users under that org unit will have that purchase group and org.
To sum this up, if your purchase groups actually represent groups of people who are buying, and those groups are in the same org unit, then you can set their org unit to be the purchasing group, and the org unit above to be the purcahse org.
If however, your purchase groups represent what is being bought, and the people buying these items are scattered around the org plan, you should put the purchase orgs and groups in separate org units on their own, and set the responsibility for the appropriate parts of the org structure.
Whatever you do you must make sure that the purchase orgs that will be used match the config in R/3 / ECC else you will get an error when trying to create a PO in the backend.
I Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dave.

How to delete the multiple companies assignement of a employee in SRM

Hello Friends,
In business partner maintenance (BP), one employee assigned to multiple companies in relationship tab.
Following are the entries observed in relationship tab in BP Transaction code.
Is employee of
xxx(BP number) u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to -->1st entry
xxx(BP number) u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to --> 2nd entry
Ideally one employee should assigned to one company only.
Kindly let me know how to delete the relationship.
We are using release SRM 5.0 with classic extended scenario.
The organization structure is HR Replicated.
Thanks in Advance,
Pithani Suresh

Hello Ganesh,
Thank you for providing information.
The employee is not assigned to multiple companies. The assignment is related to orgnizational unit.
In organization structure (PPOSA_BBP), the user/position is assigned to one organization unit only
More details about this issue,
we find the relationship of the user/position in BP T.code (Relationship Tab), it is showing the relationship with current organizational unit and previous organizational unit. Ideally it should be assigned to one organizational unit. Due to some inconsistency, it is still showing the previous organizational unit.
Example: Ex: User A is replicated from HR to SRM and assigned to Dept A (org unit 1) and later User A is shifted to Dept B (org unit 2) from HR Replication.
Following are the entries observed in relationship tab in BP Transaction code.
Input is BP number assigned to of the user A central person.
User u201CAu201D is employee of
BP number of org unit 1u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to -->1st entry
BP number of org unit 2 u2013 Company(address type) --- xxx(description) u2013valid from --- valid to --> 2nd entry
Thanks & Regards,

Automitic source of supply assignment in backend system for SRM

Hello Experts,
I am facing one issue regarding source of supply for SRM purchase Requisitions in backend ECC system.
When we create a shopping cart in SRM 5.0, a purchase requisition is created in backend and has source of supply assigned to it.
I donu2019t want to assign source of supply to purchase requisitions created for SRM.
Can you please suggest how to achieve this?
Also I think, SRM is internally using BAPI u201CBAPI_REQUISITION_CREATEu201D from backend ECC system for creation of requisition. This BAPI has an importing parameter u2018AUTOMATIC_SOURCEu2019, and if we pass space to this parameter, it creates requisition without assigning source of supply.
If this is correct, then can I use any BADI or customization in SRM to set the value of this parameter as space when SRM calls this BAPI?
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjay

SPRO--> SRM > SRM server> cross application basic settings --> Define objects in backend system (PR,RS,PO)

Component configurator issue - Account assignment tab for SC in SRM 7.0

Hello Experts,
We have to disable some fields from account assignment tab of SC. We have identified the webdynpro application as /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC. We started the component configurator /SAPSRM/WDCC_ACC_DEF_SC and under the view V_DO_ACCOUNTING made the fields "DISTR_INDICATOR" and "COPY_TO_CLIP" as invisible.
The problem is that these fields are still visible in the account assignment tab of the shopping cart.
Do we need to do any other follow-up activity to disable the fields? Please guide.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarath

An easier way to hide the two elements for you is to enhance the view "V_DO_ACCOUNTING" and remove the drop down and the button. Save and activate the enhancement.

Dear:
Please apply OSS note 1292730 . In some instances it happens so that a tax procedure is assigned to company (Check in OY01) that does not use jurisdiction code but you have maintained settings in OBCL you have maintained settings for tax jurisdiction code for the co code. This mismatch may result in this error. Please check and revert back.

To get all the Usernames assigned to a Position in SRM

Hi Experts,
The function module BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_USER_FROM_POS is fetching only one username for that position.
I need to get all the usernames assigned to that particular position. Could you please help me out
Regards,
Farhana

Hi
probably, you get the details from the table HRP1001.
Key in the postion number in the field ObjectID and execute.
Look at the CP relationship (subtype A008, CP is linked to US-username). If you have multiple users assigned to this position, it will display multiple CP entries with Percentage distribution (field PROZT).

Customized Account Assignment Category In SRM 4.0

Hi All,
We are using SRM 4.0 & SAP R/3 4.6c in classic scenario. we need to map account assignment category (Balance Sheet) in SRM which is having fields Profit Center (mandatory), G/L account (optional) & partner (optional).
I want map this account assignment category in SRM. Please tell me how to do this.
Help me out in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Pakhale

Hi,
1. In customising (SPRO) in R/3 you need to create the corrpesponding account assignment category with the relevant fields specified.
2. In customising (SPRO) in SRM you need to create the new account assignment category and specify it as active plus the backend system reference. You can then assign the cost assignment types that are applicable and those that are mandatory.
I haven't got access to a system at the minute so can't give you the menu paths in customising but for R/3 it is under Materials Management > Purchasing and then look for Account Assignment. For SRM it is in Cross Application Components and then look for Account Assignment.

Chris

Co Code assigned to Porg

Hi
How do I un-assign a company code to a purchasing org?
I currently have 1 co code that is assigned to 1 Porg. I will create new additional Co Codes and what them all to be assigned to the 1 Porg. can I unassign this or assign them all to the 1 Porg.
Please tell me how to
thanks
B

Hi,
1.This sort of centralized purchasing is possible only with assignment of all plants of these company codes to your purchasing organization.
2. You cant assign one purchasing organization to multiple company codes.
Then the logical answer for this is to unassign( u can assign all plants of this existing company code first to the purchasing organization, and then remove the assignment) from this comany code
and assign the same purchasing organization to all plants of all company codes.

As explained by Lauren, you have to use PFCG transaction. Via Authorization tab, you can maintain transaction authorized for your role.

As you have already installed Java stack then it will be your EP. You don't need PI for SRM MDM.

The DBMS Server property defines the network identification string of the DBMS instance / machine / server that is used by the DBMSspecific client on the MDM Server machine to connect to the DBMS. The brand of DBMS on which the repository is running is shown in the DBMS Type property.
NOTE ►► When you mount two MDM repositories with the same name (but located on different DBMS Servers) on the same MDM Server, MDM distinguishes them in the Console Hierarchy pane by appending the name of the DBMS Server in angular brackets to the repository name (e.g. u201Crepository <server>u201D).
