New purchase groups

Hi All,
Can any one explain me the process of new purchase groups.
Here my requirement is to create a new purchase groups and these new groups are to be replicated in both R/3 and EBP.
I know the creation process in R/3, is it enough to do or any thing that I have to do in ebp also.
As of my knowledge there is no validity period and cost centre require ment for purchasing group creation in R/3. Please correct me if any thing wrong in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Krish

Hi Krish,
Create the cost centres in R/3 (ECC) for your controlling area using KS01 txn code. and create P.Groups in ECC as informed to you in my prevous reply.
Same way in SRM, in your existing Org. structure create the new P.groups as required under the concerned P.Org.
In the attributes of the P.Groups for the attribute Cost Centre assign the concerned cost centre for that P.Group.
This is how you can assign cost centers to P.Groups in SRM but you don't have that option while creating either cost centres or P.groups in ECC.
This will fulfill your requirement.Hope this will resolve your issue.Clarifications are welcome.
Award points for helpful answers.
Rgds,

No new purchasing group assignment

Hi,
how can I implement this requirement ?
The purchasing group identification must be adjusted in the SRM
as follows:
No new purchasing group assignment may take place.

ertas

Hi. Do you mean you have more than 1 purchasing group for 1 part of the organisation / material group combination and you do not want the users to be able to choose from the drop down list?
If so, try to hide the field using BBP_UI_CONTROL_BADI if you are on a high enough version of SRM to use this BADI for shopping carts.
If you can not change the shopping cart using this BADI then try and create a transaction variant in transaction SHD0. You will have to use the GUI to create this but it will normally work in the web as well.
As a last resort you can use BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI to issue an error if the user changes the purchasing group.

How to create new plant,purchasing org,purchasing group

hi,
how to create:
1. new plant
2. purchasing org
3. purchasing group
4.storage location ... in SAP-GUI
rgrds,
Piyush

Hi Piyush,
As path has been already provided in previous post.
For New Plant :
Once you are in define-copy-delete-check plant.
select Copy-delete-check plant
thne press F6 for copy org. object
Usally copy-delete-check plant is selected it will copy all exisiting tables of that plant to new plant.
For new Purchase Org. :
Once you are in screen select "new enteries "or "copy as" whatever you like.
Then you have to assign purchasing orgnization to plant or company code.. in aasigment > Materials management
for New Purchasing group :
From path already mentioned earlier either create new or copy as ...
moreover there is no assigment needed its just a group of purchasing . You can use p.grp with any p.org if checks are not there however these checks will be there based on procurement process. In our orgnization its there. ie System will not allow you to use some purchasing group for import / sub contracting etc.
For new Storage location I have already posted in your previous thread.

Aakash

Error when creating purchasing group.

Hi,
i am facing two issue when creating purchasing group. i never had such a situation before.
i have created two p.groups successfully and moved to quality.later i figured one of them is missing USER ID now when i try to enter user ID in user column getting below mention error.
Entry XXXX Does not exist in USR02-check your entry.message no 00058.i have checked in USR02 None of ID's exist i used in newly created groups.but ID i used in other groups has no issue even doesn't exist in USR02,but it shows value US in OB(Object type filed).
both ID's are not being created in Development in other words SAP ID's with SU01 but we never had such issue before while changing or creating now purchasing group.
Another thing i have noticed that OB(Object type field is missing in Dev.) i can see that field in Quality even in sand box but not visible in Dev.that when i use OME4.but when i use SM30-V_024 i can see the OB field.Somehow OB field is hidden when going through SPRO or ME04.
This is about Sap ver.4.7
Suggestion are much appreciated.

Hi,
Before creating new purchasing groups- 1st check your user ID is authorized to purchasing groups create in t.code: OME4.
In development system you can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers, upon saving system will create a transport request. Later you can transfer related transport request to quality system for your testing.
For example: You can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers
Purchasing groups-------------USER ID ---------------Telephone numbers
Z01-----------------------------------USR01------------------232569875
Z02-----------------------------------USR02------------------232589876

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

Update Purchasing group directly in production system

Hi,
We keep getting purchasing group changes requests and we follow conventional approach, configure in development - move to Quality and then to Production.
Since we have high number of requests, we are exploring the direct maintenance in Production system. Please advise on the best approach to this.
thanks
Mahesh

there is an alternative missing.
you can change a customizing activity to be a master data activity, and you do not need to have the PRODuction system open for customizing..
this is explained in OSS Note 135028 - Transfer IMG activity to current setting
However, I have made my experience in the past as I joined my current employer. In this system the purchasing groups were maintained in production system, which I did not know, and some key user did not know too, as they asked me to add a new purchasing group. I did this in the development system and transported to prouction.
And it happened, that I added a purchasing group in developement that was already accopied in production, so the entry in production got overwritten with my transport. so for a couple of days 2 buyers worked with the same purchasing group, they did not even realize it, as nobody is really looking at a PO form if a system is live for many years. This caused some trouble with statistics and as well with communications between vendors and us.
a second experience was made by the fact that people had deleted purchasing groups, after buyers had left the company. But SAP validates the existing of purchasing groups when archiving purchase orders. So I had to recreate all deleted purchasing groups before I could continue with archving.
I think that this experience is reason enough to not give this customizing activity into user hands.

Purchasing group block issue

Dear All,
Please clear How we can block a purchase group for purchase / purchase order ?
Thanks & Regards,
Mukesh Chejara

Hi,
Why you need to block the Purchasing group, is it the purchase group person is leaving the company or new purchase group is created & want to delete the older one which is not in use.
Usually if the purchasing group person is changed then in the place of the purchase group name we just change the name of the person which is there.
No need to remove or delete the purchasing group, in future you can use the same purchasing group with the new name of the person or dept.
If you still want to delete then in IMG settings you can just delete the group in
SPROMMPurchasing --Create Purchasing groups.

New Pruchasing group

Hi,
We are going to create a new Purchasing group to replace two that already exist.
I would like to know the impact of this change and what are the points that we have to have carefull.
For example realise estrategy, reports, update of Material master, purchase info record etc.
Regards
Enzo

Hi,
Use always the purchaseing group with some common parameters. so, need not to change the Purchasing group.
If you want to allocate to new team very easy. no need to change in other material master or PIR.

Purchasing Group Relation with data or setting

Dear All,
Can anyone please advice me if there is anything we should check after new purchasing group have been created?
I have just created 15 new purchasing group, some of the group code is being replaced by this new group code.
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Chee Wee

Hi
If you are creating a new purchaing group then it is not at all a problem because it is a free floating entity. You don't have to assign to any other entity. But if you are deleting any then you need to consider previous transaction in which that purchasing group is used. If there is any open transaction then in that you need to give new purchasing group. Then reports for old transaction may also give inconsistancy.

Antony
