The default value of purchasing group in "carry out Sourcing "

Dear , expert :
I work in SRM7.0 ,ECS!
I have two questions about the screen of "carry out Sourcing ":
1,How can set the default value of purchasing group ?Now the default is empty .
2.The purchaser can select many purchaser group here ,I want to know what controls this .in the group responsibility ?
Thanks!

Hi Alex
If there are more purchase group responsible for one product category. the end user (requestor) can select which purchase group before he order a cart.
so that sc goes to respective purchaser cockpit in the sc ?
if you have only one purchase group responsible . no probem
or
redistribute workload
you can distribute your cart to another purchaser
for eg. initailly ALEX is purchase group in the sc.
now you can transfer MASA purchase group via redistribution workload
so now the sc shows in the MASA cockpit with new purchase group as MASA instead of ALEX purchase group name

Defaulting value of Purchasing Group based on Company Code

Hi All,
Currently we have two company codes C1 and C2 each have one - one purchasing org(PO1 and PO2) and purchasing group(PG1 and PG2). So Now hierarchy is as below: -
C1
PO1
PG1
C2
PO2
PG2
Now user of company code C1 can shop for C2 and vice versa but whenever he shops for C1 his Porg and Pgroup should be PO1 and PG1 only and same in the case for C2. Currently on shopping cart screen both company code C1 and C2 are appearing and like wise values of PO1 : PG1 and PO2 : PG2 is appearing in drop down list.
Now client is asking that whenever he selects C1 as company code PO1 : PG1 should appear as default entry and for C2, PO2 : PG2.
Can anyone tell me how this can be achieved and which BADI we are suppose to use to implement this solution?
Thanks

Siddarth,
You shouldn't require a badi, look into the users attributes and extended attributes to see if that is where the extra information is stored.

Purchasing Groups values not populated in PR default settings - ME51N ??

Hi,
We have SAP R/3 MM ECC 6.0.
I want to set Purchasing Group as one of the default parameters in ME51N (Purchasing Requisition) screen.
The problem is I have selected 'Purchasing Group' as a default parameter in 'Default Values'/ 'Personal Settings' but,
the Drop-down help does not show up any values for Purchasing Group to be selected as default.
However, I can set-up 'Account assignment' & 'Item Category' as defaults and, I can choose their default values.
Therefore, in result, I do not have any Purchasing Group set as default for my PRs.
Is there a configuration setting required to populate the drop-down box of Default Settings (for purchasing group)
with Purchasing Group values? Please advise.
Could this be a bug?
Thanks,
Ruchika

Hi Karthik,
I have already done these steps.
The problem is - Purch. Group field is there in Default settings but, it doesn't show me any values to select from and
set a Default value.
None of the purchasing groups available in system are appearing here. The selection list is Blank.
Is there anything I need to do to bring the P.Group values in the drop-down selection list of Personal settings?
Thanks,
Ruchika

Purchasing group sequence and defaults

Folks
We are in SRM 50 and was wondering if anyone has tinkered with the sequence of purchasing groups for a buyer, while creating a shopping cart ? If so, how?
To explain, when the buyer logs in and he/she is responsible for say 4 purchasing groups, the system seems to be sorting purchasing groups based on the organization ID and it assigns the first purchasing group as default (It used to be the last one in the order in EBP 30, before we upgraded). Even this has exceptions at times. How is the sort sequence of the purchasing group determined/controlled?
Any insights would be appreciated.

Hi
Welcome to the world of SRM. )
Actually, it depends on the Organizational chart maintained in the SRM system using PPOMA_BBP transaction. For each company code in SRM, there will be at least one Puchase organization assigned to it, which in turn might be linked with several Purchase groups. (this is what you have maintained in PPOMA_BBP , inside the Extended Attributes section of the main root node of the Organization )
- Well it depends .. sometimes, you might maintain the attributes at every level of the org units.
Anyways, I will try to help you out on the Defaulting Purchasing group logic as well.
Well, until, SRM 4.0, we have noticed, purchasing groups based on the organization ID and it assigns the first purchasing group as default. It is sure.
After SRM 5.0, this purchasing group defaulting is changed to last, as in your case... ( I am not sure.. about this), might be some other reason can be behind this...
Which SRM scenario are you using ?
You can control the Puchasing group by implementing the BADIs.. The Standard SRM system provides various BADIs to get this job done.
Please do read the standard documentation available with them, before writing any code for the custom BADI Implementations.
Refer to the following Business Add-Ins (BADIs) in SE18 Transaction.
BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI
BBP_PGRP_FIND_BADI
In BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, you can change the already defined Purchasing group, based on your business logic and requirements.
In BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI, you can issue customer error messages incase the Purchasing group selected does not match with the company code, etc.. as per you business requirements.
Similarly, In BBP_PGRP_FIND_BADI, you can make your changes accordingly.
Let me know incase you face any issues.

Default Purchasing Group in Purchase Order from user parameters of an user

Hi Team,
I have an issue in defaulting the Purchasing Group in PO.
The Purchase Order is capturing the Purchasing Group of the Contract when the PO is created with reference to a Purchase Requisition which in turn is created with reference to a contract.
The Customer says he has default Purchasing Group in his user profile - parameter tab which would always overwrite any other Purchasing Group. But now, he is getting the Purchasing Group of the contract in the Purchase Order.
Team,
Request you to post your comments/ suggestions for this.

Dear,
System is behaving in the correct manner..
If at all P GRP is maintained in contract....It will be defaulted in the PO.
If there is no P grp data in the ref doc, then system will check the default parameters maintained in the User profiles.

Email PO as a PDF document to Buyer-Purchasing Group

Hi MM expert,
is it possible to send an Email to Buyer (Purchasing group) as a PDF Document once we create the PO
if yes Please let me know the Custamization settings
Thanks in advance
Priya

yes it can be the output message like NEU but select medium number 7 simple email, then system will send the email who create the PO as buyer but in the profile management the creator email should be define so through ssytem it will go to his outlook system. first it can be seen in your SAP office then if in profile the outlook email is defined then through system it will go to outlook.

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

How to Set default Purchasing Group in SC

Hi Experts,
We have define on PPOMA_BBP the Purchasing Org, and Purch. Groups.
For each Purch. Group. we have set the Organizational Responsability (Object ID) ,
Some Purch. Groups are defined to same Organizational Responsability (Object ID) ,
So, we need to assign one of the Purch. Groups as a default for the SC.
There is no any Attribute for it.
How we can set the default one?
Thanks,
Moshe

Hi,
1) In the PPOMA__BBP you can define in the attribute tab the Purchase group can be made as default.
Without attribute you cannot create a shopping cart.
(or)
If you are creating shopping cart in this the is a DEFAULT SETTINGS available you can make the purchase group as DEFAULT
Please try and reply

Update default Buyer in Inventory (Under Purchasing tab)

Hi all,
Please explain the steps of updating the Default Buyer in Inventory Mater Item form under Purchasing tab.
Scenario here is I need to update 25000+ records. So apart from simple update statement on mtl_system_items_b, is there any API to do that task ?
Thanks,
AdamGil.

Hi Sandeep,
Are there any complications if we update the buyer_id in mtl_system_items_b table directly using below update statement.
UPDATE mtl_system_items_b SET BUYER_ID=123
WHERE (SEGMENT1,buyer_id) IN(
SELECT SEGMENT1,BUYER_ID
FROM mtl_system_items_b msib
WHERE buyer_id=456) ;

Purchasing Groups not defaulting to all new line items

Hi,
We are on SRM 4.0. currently, we can only assign a user to one purchasing group.Now my problem is Purchasing Groups not defaulting to all new line items (when changed in default settings).If any one faced this problem help me out.
regards,
sobhan

Sobhan,
Depending on your material group, the purchaing group will be defaulted. According to the responsibility tab and SPRO Config define objects in the backend system, the purchaing group will default in your basic data of the shopping cart screen.
Even though in your default settings you will assign a Purchaing group, the purchasing group will be defaulyed on the basis of the above two crietrias mentioned.
Please assigbn points for usefull answer !!

I have a purhcasing group X populated from info record while creating the requisitions using ME51N.
When i try to overwrite the default purchasing group with new purchasing group, systme does not allow.
System doesnot allow to change the default purcasing group.
How can i get rid of this ??

I do not get any error . If in place of original purchasing group (which is defaulted from Info record) , i write new purchasing group then while saving system again changes it back to the original purchasing group.
I should be able to change the pur. group as i want. But system doens't allow that.
What can be the reason ??
