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

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.

Purchasing group transacting for multiple purchasing organizations

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have certain purchasers defined as purchasing groups in my organizational structure. However, these purchasing groups perform sourcing transactions (e.g., bid invitation, auction) for multiple purchasing organizations. In the organizational structure, these purchasing groups are created under an organizational unit that isn't defined as a purchasing organization. They appear "free-floating" since they are not assigned to a particular purchasing organization.
In sourcing transactions (e.g., bid invitation, auction), the list of purchasing groups from which I can choose from depends on the purchasing organization I select. Is there a way to include the "free floating" purchasing groups in the drop-down list?
Thanks and regards,
Joy

Hi Joy,
Its difficult to have a P.Grp with out a P.Org assignment.
My idea would be:
Assign this P.Grp to one of the P.Orgs (lets say POrg1). Add the entire root as the responsibility of this P.Grp.
When the Purchasers in this P.Grp create a Bid Invitation, the POrg1 will be defaulted always.
At the time of saving the Bid Invitation, use the "BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI" BADI to overwrite POrg1 value with any other POrg you desire.
You may test it out.
Cheers,
Akash

No Purchasing Group is assigned to Org plan attributes

Hi,
When the user is creating a SC he is getting the following error "No Purchasing Group is assigned to Org plan attributes".I have checked the users Org structure in PPOMA_BBP,But everything looks fine.
Any inputs will be appreaciated!!
Thanks
Rakesh.

Hi
product category are directly related to purchase group. depends upon the settings in the organisation structure , the system determines which purchase group is responsible for procuring this product category.
so back track your product category and purchase group link and this purchase group is made a link with purchase organisation. since product category responsiblity is a mandatory in srm.
Can you update here . where your user was positioned in org structure?
hope that you made a link between purch organ with purchase group?
po1
--> pg1
and moreover check following settings. are you try to procure via describe (spl request)?
Purchase group - responsibilty tab what are the product category you mentioned?
have you maintain Organisation responsibility under the responsibility tab?.
still you find difficulty ?

Can the same Purchase Group be assigned to two different Purchase Org?

Hello Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding the assignment of a purchase group to two different purchase Organisation?
If yes , How?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pratap Lingala

Hello,
In SRM standard, a purchasing group can be assigned to only one puchasing organization: this is done using 'Function' tab of Organizational Unit, as you did it to define an OU as a company and to define an OU as a purchasing organization.

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.

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 group

Hi all,
1. There is one scenario
There 2 purchase groups and 10 materials. I want to restrict first 6 materials with first purchase group and remaining 4 materials by second purchase group?
How to control above scenario?
2. Kindly confirm, for one purchase organization how many schema group purchase organisations and how many pricing procedures possible to assign?
Thnaks & Regards
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
1.There 2 purchase groups and 10 materials. I want to restrict first 6 materials with first purchase group and remaining 4 materials by second purchase group?
Enter the purchase group in the material master purchasing view and this comes default while creating PO. Also make this field display in the PO screen layout so that users will not be able to change this while creating PO.
How to control above scenario?
2. Kindly confirm, for one purchase organization how many schema group purchase organisations and how many pricing procedures possible to assign?
For one purchase organization only one pur org schema group can be assigned. Based on the combination of schema group pur org and schema group vendor pricing procedures can be assigned. so number of pricing procedures that can be assigned to one pur org will be equal to the max number of vendor schema groups available.

Purchase group security in the create PO role

Hi, What are other larger companies with multiple purchase groups across multiple plants, doing with purchase group in their create purchase order role? Are you following the same practice for all the purchase order roles that include purchase group?
Does anyone control the purchaser's access by purchase org, plant and purchase group or let them have all(*) for purchase group and follow business unit best practices.. We would potentially have 30 plus PO child roles per PO parent role for each plant if created by single purchase group access.
tanks,
Dawn Domina

Hi,
Follow the steps
1. Go to "Personal Setting" Tab in PO
2. Select "Default Values" menu
3. In the PO Header section Select the Default Purchasing Group e.g. 000 initial
Remember if the Purchasing group field is blank here then the Purchasing Group field will not appear in me21n transaction instead it will appear after you put relevant details like Material number and Plant. The purchasing group field is defaulted from Purchase Info record in such case. But you can always change it

How One Buyer can have access for all Purchasing Groups in classical scena

Thanks on Advance.

Purchase Requisition with wrong purchasing group - release strategy

Hello
There is a lot questions about release strategies but I cannot find answer.
I have release strategy based on:
- Plant
- Purchasing Group
If I create Purchase Requisition with right purchasing group release strategy is assigned to PR item.
When use wrong purchasing group - release strategy is not assigned.
How to easy set control if user use wrong purchasing group system automatically set one strategy which not allow to create purchase order.
There is too many plants (150) and purchasing groups (60) to create all combinations in strategy. So I cannot do that.
Maybe there is some useful user-exit?
I use SAP ECC 6.0
My problem occurred because SAP allow to create PO with reference to PR which have no assigned strategy.
Thanks in advance for help
Arek

Yes it is solution
But as I wrote before there is too many incorrect combination.
Example
PG A1, A2, A3, A4. A50
Pl 2200, PG A1 OK
Pl 2200, PG A2 OK
Pl 2200, PG A3..50 NOK
For this example I have to set 48 combinations (strategy with S).
I noticed that I would have to set about 200 strategies. Client dont want accept it.
You wrote set up one unique strategy. How? As I know I need 200 strategies (or there is something I dont know
Kind regards
