Determine Org id with purchasing group

Hello,
Is there any FM to get the org id with purchasing group.
Regards,
Neelima

You didn't mention what you have as input in order to get the org id. But in any case, try FM BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_ORG_FROM_ORG. It gives you the parent org unit ID of an org unit.

ORG UNIT to Purchasing group

Dear Experts,
Please help on the following issue
We are unable to fetch the function details from PPOSA_BBP t-code.
for example we have an orgunit say '00000002' and for them in the details section under Functions tab we need to read the Local purchasing group and ID.
I have also attached the screen shot like which data we are trying to read in our BADI.
Please let us know any function module or DB to get the required associated values

Hi Balajisha,
If I get you correctly, your want to replace your purchasing group, with the Head of the Org unit.
So in that case for the User, under the Details, the checkbox, "Head of Organizational Unit" should be checked.
Now what you can do is, fetch the user who is assigned as head of the org unit using the FM " BBP_OM_STRUC_GET_MGR_FROM_ORG", here you will get the ID of head of the Org unit under et_manager_id. (Checkbox Head of Organizational Unit" should be checked for the User)
You can use this ID, as the username and use the FM "BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES".
Not sure, whether this will work, but you can give it a try.

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?

Shopping cart Purchasing group determination

Hi All,
I have created Org structure like this
Backend pur.organsiation> purchasing group(Back end)>buyer1
department1-->user1
Buyer1 is responsible for department1
When user1 is creating shopping cart , I found in shopping cart purchasing group field is not showing.
Later I have created Local pur org and Local Purchasing group and Buyer4 assigned to it.
When I create a SC , now purchasing group field is showing with only one buyer i.e Buyer4.
we are on SRM 7 EHP1 and Extended classic scenario.
Is this standard behaviour that SC only shows Purchasing groups of local Purchase org.
Thanks
Abdul Raheem

Hi Nikhil,
I can see buyers for local purchasing group only, not the Back end purchasing group buyers.
For back end purchasing group I have kept in function tab a check box as purchasing group, and purchasing group number refering to back end system

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.

Assign Output Devices to Purchasing Groups

Hi All,
I have the following requirement. All Purchasing Department prints to Printer 1 to do this i have maintaned condition record using MN04 and this works fine.
The Purchasing Manager has his own purchasing group and wants to print to Printer 2. So in configuration using OMGF i have stated that the Managers purchasing group should go to Printer 1.
When i create a PO using the Purchasing Managers Purchasing group this still points to Printer 1. Is there anything else that needs doing? Please note i have check all conditions and there is only 1 condition set up using MN04 which is Output type --> Plant go to Printer 1
Thanks
Adeel

This would not work as you have decided to go with Condition determination..
SO what you should do is create a new condition table with Purchasing group and any other valid combinatgion like org or company code.
That way you could add this condition table in the access sequence and make it unique
This is the only way.. as i did something similar long back!!

Multiple Purchasing Groups to One Person

Hi Experts,
We are running SRM5.0 Classic Scenario. I need to have a User to select any purchasing group in a selection. Org.Structre example:
Root Node org unit
Company org unit
Purchasing Org ( R/3 P.org)
R/3 Purchasing Groups org unit
Regions org unit
Note: 1.Purchasing Groups are added under the R/3 Purchasing Groups org unit with Organizational Responsibility without entries. The Product Responsibility Tab has all R/3 products entries. Responsibilty is maintained at the P.Group Level.
2. The Region becomes the Org. Unit and will have a region name under as a Branch Org, and the Department Org unit under the Branch. Users are added under the Department Org Unit.These org units do not have Responsibility.
How do I make the User to select any P.Group and Use it. I managed to have the User to select all these P.Groups when creating a shopping under the Extended Details tab, but the P.Group does not get selected, instead a P.Group on top of the list gets selected and used for SC creation.
Please HELP..!!!

Hello,
The default settings value for Purchasing group works in the following
way : the correct purchasing group is determined on the basis of the
product category. And this information you can find out in the
organizational responsibilty in the PPOMA_BBP
( i.e. which purchasing organizations can potentially procure for the
department user). Also in the product responsibility we maintain which
product category(s) the purchasing organization is responsible. And if
system finds several purchasing groups that are responsible for the same
department and the same product category it will take the first one in
the table. You can confirm this behavior by changing the product
category in the default setting and you will see that it automatically
adjust the correct purchaing groups.
I hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav

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

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

hi gurus,
can u tell me please
While creating PO we are entering purchasing group,this purchasing group controls any thing,can we take a report a purchasing group wise,can we see the purchasing group wise purchase
also we are maintaining purchasing group at purchasing view of material master record ,whether we can see purchasing group wise material list
regards
jalu

dear,
kindly go in transaction "se16" ..and put table name "ekpo" this will give you details how many PO have been created with purchase group...or you can put your own data in purchase group data and can see how mamy purchases hace been made...
for the material master you can only come to no which purchase grup has been assigned to the material ..this is important because tracking of materials at inventory level is done...
go to se16 put marc...you will come to know how many materials have been maintained...
you can also create a z report ...we have a report ..."zmb5l' in which we check the inventory according to purchase group...this is taken all from material master...
if you want can give you logic also....

Purchasing Groups deleted: Errors when processing related documents

Hi Gurus,
We are on SRM 7 and we are currently facing an issue when processing documents which Purchasing Groups have been deleted after thee procurement documents were created
In our case, when a PGroups is deleted and unassigned, an interfase from HR is raised and i the SRM PPOMA the Pgroup is not valid anymore and unassigned from the Purchasing Organization.
Once this happens, we face a blocking issue for all the documents created with Purchasing Groups that has been deleted.
These documents cannot be processed anymore and and error saying that Purchasing group is not assigned to purchasing organization... is raised.
Currently we are manually mantaining the validity of the Purchasing Group via PPOMA and transaction PP01. We put the validity to unlimited and the documents can be processed again.
Anyway we would like to avoid this manual update and to have a false information in te system where the PGroup will be shown as valid while it has been deleted in the past.
Could you please advise on the best solution on it?
Many Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Valentino

Thank you both for your responses and my apologies on my delayed response.
I have this POA set to run the indexing continuously, so it's generating large logs.
From the log entries, it looks as if the indexing process repeats itself anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
I base this on when I see the log repeating the userxxx.db file names.
When I look at the information for my single post office, it shows 559 users, 126 resources and a total mailbox count of 565.
I'm not sure how that all works out.
To answer your questions, Laura:
The logs show the error in relation to 527 out of 559 userxxx.db files.
There are 181 userxxx.db and 24 files with names like pu3a0101.db that do not return an 8210 error. All of those files consistently show a zero count after the index process, e.g., Updating QuickFinder index: userxxx.db (0).
The error or lack of error is consistent. It occurs on the same 527 files and does not occur on the same 181 files every time.
The one clue I've found to the puxx0101.db files was a forum post from back in 2006, where Dave Parkes identifies them as being associated with shared folders.
To answer your question, Howard:
I have a fair number of users with large attachments and high item counts, but nowhere near what I'm am seeing the 8210 errors on.

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,
Pankaj

Release Strategy in PR not triggered for different Purchase Groups.

Dear Experts,
For Purchase Requistion - Header Level Release Strategy has been defined with Purchase Group as one of the Characteristics(Characteristic Values are V1, V2, V3).
When PR is created for 30Line items with V1, V2 or V3 as Purchase groups independently- Release Strategy is triggered.
But when a combination of all 3 Purchase groups is used in the same PR for 30 Line items together. No Release Strategy is Triggered. All these 3 Purchase groups have been assigned for all strategies.
Thanks & Regards
Chandan H N

You are using characteristic P. Group for different RS. That means that if only one value exists, the system will be able to understand which RS to implement. If you are using more than one values for this characteristic, the system simply does not know which RS to choose and takes nothing.
More simply you are using a header data (p. Goup) for RS and you are using it in line items. This is wrong. You have to make PR's only for the respective P. Group
