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,

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.

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.

Number Range assignment to Org plan/model

Hi,
have a question on number ranges w.r.t Org plan.
in CRM 5.0, my number assignment is independent of all plan versions (maintained 'X' in t.code OONC).
Now I want to create a new number range and assign it to the new org model/plans that I will be creating - how do I do it.
I could define the new number range but am not sure how to assign this to the org plan. If I explain it the other way, how does the Org plan determine which number range it has to use ?
will reward points.
thanks
kumar

Thanks Robin for your response. I did reward points to you. Its useful to understand HRALX-OSUBG function.
I did assign the new number range id here as per your message and saved but when I try to create the new Org model/plan, it still takes my old range - is there any dependency as well that I need to change?
One more observation, on the same table T77S0, I have the value '1' for HRALX-ONUMB.
I changed HRALX-ONUMB to '2' and then maintained HRALX-OSUBG with the Z1 number range (custom), but still my Org model determines the old number range?
Could you suspect something?
thanks

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

User assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups

Dear Experts,
My issue is related to user assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups.
According to the project requirement, we are using central purchasing organisation and we should create the purchasing organisations and purchasing groups locally. it is not reflected from the back end systems through RFC.
Also we have one more team working with indirect materials and they also use SRM. They have already created the organisation model. Two projects are inter-related and belongs to same department in the company, but main different is one uses direct and the other in-direct materials.
Now we should create our purchasing organisation and purchasing groups and assign the users to it.
If we create it separately means not uder the main root and assign the users, we are able to create shopping cart till the contract. But when i create the new purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under the main root which is created for other project which deals with in-direct materails, i am not able to create shopping cart with the user. I am getting the error
' Process scheme could not be found
Please let me know how to deal with this scenario. here i need to add the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under main root because of the reason that in the other project, purchasing organisation and purchasing groups defined needs to be accessed by our users as well. I mean the users should be able to access all the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups created under root node which gets the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups from the back end systems and the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups we created manually since we cant get it from back end system since it is central purchasing organisation.
Please asvise
Best regards,
Srinath

Hello Masa,
Thanks very much for your time and solution.
Actually the problem was something else and was fixed.
The reason for getting error 'Process schema was not yet defined' is because of missing definition of process schedma for the workflow since the process based workflow setting has been activated.
So this has been resolved by copying the sap standard customizing BC set for SRM workflow using transaction SAPR20 and then process schema for workflow got configured or copied automatically from SAP BC set and the error was removed.
Also the reason for error with user was that no purchaser assignment was done to the purchasing organisation and now it has been done and the users can access the SRM and create shopping cart and the contract.

Srinath

The correct purchasing group is not being determined in the SC line item

Dear all,
I have a problem in that for some reason, when a shopping text line item is added to the shopping cart, the wrong purchasing group is determined. Further more when you look in the basic data section they is a drop down against the purchasing group field listing all pruchasing groups setup in the org plan via PPOMA_BBP.
This means that the requisitioner can change the purchasing group to any one even the one that is not relevant to his or her Purchasing Organisation. This of cause is not right because if the requisitioner is allowed to change the P/Grp, the wrong buyer may end up recieving the buyer completion work item.
What is causing this?
We have uniquely assigned P/Orgs to P/Grps and assigned resposiibility of P/GRPS to one unique ORg unit (company).
for example, a suppose product Category 1234567 is assigned to P/GRP 100 & P/GRP 100 is assigned to P/ORG 1000 and the P/GRP responsibility is set to Org unit(company) 1000, The requisition "sits" under an orgunit linked to company 1000.
If a requisitioner creates a text item and assigns product category 1234567, when the item is added to the shopping cart , I expect to see that the followig:
1. The Company code(CC)should be 1000 (This is happening)
2. The P/org should be 1000(This is happending)
3. The Plant sssignment is correct
4. The p/grp is worong. It appear that the first P/Grp is assigned plus a drop down listing all p/grps created for all purchasing P/Orgs.
Regards,
Grace

Yann,
Yes , we have (need to have)set 2 purchasing groups with the responsibility of the same product category. We have to do this because in our organisation, individual company purchasing organisations have same responsibilities to purchase similar products.
Please note that we have a classic scenario implementation. SRM 4, Server 5.
The business requirement and settings in the org plan is for example:
P/Grp 100 has the reponsibility to procure Prod cats LAM001 to LAM010 via its assigned P/org 1000 which is linked to own company 1000 and P/grp 200 also has the reponsibility to procure Prod cats LAM001 to LAM010 via its assigned P/org 2000 which is linked to own company 2000.
Please note that thr buyer responsible for p/grp 100 & 200 are the same and will be the same for similar product cats across the organisation as a whole. Its just the SRM does not allow you in the orgplan to assign the same p/grp to multiple p/orgs, we had to double up on the p/grps.
Also when a requisitioner who sits under company 2000 chooses a product cat 12345 if creating a SC text line, we DO NOT WANT the requisitioner to change the assigned p/grp.We want it defaulted to 200 (based on the org plan setting I have described above) and fixed(greyedout)
when thr line item viewed in the basic data section.
Do you think that because we have set the prod cat range LAM001 to LAM010, which is an alphanumeric product cat range, that could also be the reason for the dropdown listing all orplan p/grps even ones that do not have the product cat LAM001 to LAM010 in its responsubility assignments?
If you are saying that the system does not know which p/grp to pick, why its it displaying all "unrelated" p/rps in the dropdown. I atlest expect to see two p/grps in the dropdown 100 & 200, because only these two p/grps have been set with product cat responsibility for LAM001 to LAM010 in our org plan.
Also if you are saying that is the way SRM was designed to work (which may be the case!!!) how then can we set the org plan to meet our the purchasing org/purchasing grp /prod cat responsibility requirements I have described above?
Regards,
Grace

Vendor Responsibility for Purchasing Groups

Hi experts!
We should assign vendor responsibility for purchasing groups, what means depending on which vendor / source-of-supply is selected in the shopping cart the correct purchasing group is assigned.
Do you have any idea how to handle this in SAP standard?
Can we use a BADI to help out?
Many thanks for your ideas.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi
Lots of BADIs are there, which can help out ->

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

Purchasing group list for company code

Hi,
I s there any way to find out list of Purchasing groups maintained for particular company code..
rgrds....

Organizational Structure: Purchasing Group Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
Definition
A purchasing group corresponds to a buyer or group of buyers who perform the following purchasing activities:
Procuring certain articles or merchandise categories
Acting as the contact for vendors
Use
Purchasing groups can function strategically, operationally, or both.
The main strategic function of a purchasing group in SAP Retail is to maintain its master data and control data. This includes defining outline agreements and volume rebate arrangements for Purchasing, for example.
The purchasing group is also responsible for the day-to-day planning of requirements and ordering of merchandise.This includes creating purchase orders, allocation tables and promotions. It can also send vendors requests for quotation or create purchase requisitions.
Integration
Purchasing groups are assigned to the purchasing areas. They are not data retention levels; they are used as a selection criterion, as a level at which analyses can take place in the Information System and at which authorizations can be stored.
In the individual purchasing operations you are mostly required to enter a purchasing group and a purchasing organization. It is not possible to define an explicit link in the system between these two organizational units.
Every stock planner is assigned to a purchasing group. You make the assignment in the user master.

Purchasing groups as authorisation objects

I belive one can restrict the role of a user to create/display/edit purchsing documents by assigning purchasing groups with those characteristics or are the characteristics defined as authorization objects in the users role? I havent seen any customizations related to purchasing groups where we can restrict those groups to create/editing/displaying purchsing documents.
How do we make this assignemnt since purchasing groups are not part of the org structure.
Thanks
Edited by: Akhilpuri on Nov 4, 2011 10:49 AM

Dear Akhil,
In the Transaction code: PFCG look Purchasing Document role (click on the [LINK|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/52/6714a9439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/frameset.htm] to understand the concept of ROLE)
You can use this: Object M_BEST_EKG Purchasing Group in Purchase Order to assign Purchasing Groups and assign Activity like Display to control user role.
You can assign ACTVT = Create/Change/Display there are other activities like delete etc.
One more [USEFUL|http://www.fh-trier.de/uploads/tx_rfttheses/LamotteManuel.pdf] document about role and authorization concept.
Hope you will find these useful!

How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in R/3?

Hello All.
In case of MM, purchasing group is assigned to material master.
It means purchasing group is maintained based on material code.
But SRM has different maintenance level.
As you know that purchasing group has the responsibility based on material group (Product category).
So we should change the purchasing group from R/3, when end user create shopping cart.
How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in material master?
Thank you,
Best regards,
SH.

Hello So Hee,
I am not a technical guy.
But for your requirement i am building a logic.
I am not sure whether it will work.
You need to check with your ABAPER.
It is as below:
When the SC is approved and the other configuration is correct ,
PR is created in ECC by the virtue of BAPI.
You want that the pur grp should be populated on the base of matl code and not on matl grp.
Hence in SC you will not fill up pur grp.
In the programme for BBPSC01 i.e. SC creation you will add modification that it will call a custom FM.
This custom FM will get the matl code from SC and will find the value of pur grp from R/3 MM01i.e. matl master(you may get in MARA).
Now in the BAPI you need to incorporate this additional value of yr pur grp field.
So the desired pur grp as per yr R/3 matl master will be populated in yr R/3 PR.
Again: this is all hypothesis.
That's all I can help you.
