Note 1092194 - Incorrect Purchasing group in distributed Contracts

Hi All,
described problem in note 1092194 applies to situation we face. We implemented that note but problem still exists. Has anyone hints or experience in this?
My Testing results after implementing Note 1092194:
Step
1)      chage PGrp from C01 to C02 in SRM-GOA
2)      distributing GOA from SRM to 2 ERP-Systems a) T01, b) T06
                           a) ECC 6.0 IS-H 600 (T01)
                           b) SAP R/3 Enterprise SAPKB62065
Only PGrp in a) is changed not in b)
Can any one give a hint or help?
Thanks, Isam
note 1092194
You create a GOA and all of the R/3 Contracts created
(ditributed) from the Global Outline Agreement of SRM have the same
purchasing group. This purchasing group is mapped to the first
purchasing group that has been created in the SRM system.

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

Workload Redistribution not chaning purchase group

Dear SRM Experts,
We are running SRM 5.5 If you run the manual workload restribution, the system responds back and says "update completed successfully". Howerver, when you look at the shopping cart it is not changing the purchasing group to the new one (i.e it is not performing the redstribution despite the system reporting back that it has done it. What could be the cause of this?
Kind regards
Pedzi Mutapiri

Hello Pedzi,
Your issue can be raised due refresh problems. Check note 1493400 (WKL: No refresh of the document list after redistribution).
If this note can not help you, please also take a look on the following note:
1294817 - Warning message when no organization data is entered in WKL.
This one is about any warning message be raised if the purchasing fields weren't entered.

Restricting for creation or PO for material with other purchase group

Hi,
We have one requirement we want to restrict the user for creation of purchase order for the materials which is not in there purchasing group
on ME21N in order data we enter the Pur. Group e,g 101 and if user enter the material XYZ for which the purchasing group is 102 system should issue the error message for this, so what setting can be done for this
regards,
zafar

the purchasing group in material master is just a default for requisitions that are created via MRP.
user can enter whatever purchasing group they want in a requisition if they create one manually.
the buyer usually looks in his worklist e.g. in ME57 by selection all requisitions that are assigned to him.
However, if the buyer 101 is the holiday replacement to 102, then the general concept allows that buyer 101 can pull the requisitions of buyer 102 and change the purchasing group to 101 in the PO.
If you dont want that, then restrict authorization based on object M_BANF_EKG (purchasing group in requisition)

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.

Vendor Evaluation on Purchasing Group

Hi SAPER'S
Could anyone tell me the if we can run vendor evaluation on Purchasing Group or can we get the report on Purchasing Group after vendor evaluation run.
Full points guranteed.
Regards.

Hi
No it is not possible.
Purchasing group is not an organisational element.
If you want to evaluate based on the plant , that can be done using enhancments.
Thanks & Regards

Purchasing Group control - PO and PR - Best Practices?

Hi experts,
My client need to implement in the same plant, purchasing group for POs and indirect PRs.
They currently have around 5-6 plants in Asia and the design is to group the purchasing group for the plant at the prefix level. Example A01 to AZZ for plant in Thailand, B01 to BZZ for plant in China.
   Thus we will have situation of A01, A02, A03 created for buyers and A04, A05 created for department to raise indirect PR.
   But the requirement is that the buyer should not use the purchasing group from the department (A04, A05) to create PO. Other than hard-coding the A01, A02 and A03 to the role to be given to the buyer, for Best practice, how should the purchasing groups be design in such situations?

Hi Ravi,
          Thanks for your respond.
           My client won't have issue of buyer buying for other plants as the buyers are local buyers situated at the plant. They don't have a centralized purchasing team that purchased for mor than 1 plant.
            When you say purchasing group are added to the role, I presume you mean that buyer only have authorizaton for their own purchasing group? That mean buyer A01 only have authorization for A01 and nothing else?
             When it come to maintenance, won't this be tough? In addition, buyers will not be able to back up each other of the same plant when anyone goes on leave. Our current plan is to give A* for buyers in Thailand plant. But that also mean I might have the prob of direct buyers accidentally using department purchasing group to create PO.

How to synchronise SRM and ECC for purchase groups?

HI,
recently we created two purchase groups in ECC. But these purchase groups did not replicate to SRM.
the table in ECC T024 has those purchase groups but the table in SRM HRT5500 does not have those purchase groups.
How can we make them in sync. Please guide me.
Thanks,
Nandan Upasani.

Hi,
Thatu2019s correct that you cannot establish to replicate Porg and pgrp to SRM. So better you perform following creation and assignment in SRM PPOMA_BBP Tcode as u2013
1.     Create purchasing group in SRM by copy any existing Pgrp and change the details as you created in ECC.
2.      You have to select a purchaser whom you are going to do purchasing assignment.
3.     Do the purchasing assignment to the purchaser's position.
You have to do this process for all the pgrps you added.

To enable filtering the Purchase Orders based on Purchasing Group in Issue

Hi All,
We are facing one issue
Currently we are working with Extended Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 and support pack 11
If the buyer uses Issue PO transaction in SRM, there are POs from all the buyers.
There is no filter to allow the buyer to display only POs relevant for his/her Purchasing group.
To enable filtering the Purchase Orders based on Purchasing Group in Issue Purchase Order transction, we found one
OSS note : 1162884 - BBP_PPF: Purchasing group as search criteria for PO
But we found that this oss note is not applicable for our system version
Could you please help me to resolve this issue by any suggestion or by any other oss note?
Thanks
Snehal

Hi Snehal,
There is a easy way to do that.
Go to buyer role in PFCG transaction and look for profile and go inside profile ...look for your transaction...
for Process PO transaction - BBP_PD_PO and you have field BBP_PURGRP...using which you can restrict it on purchasing group..
You may have to copy same role and create new roles based on purchasing group..
I feel that basis or Security and Authorization team can help you in this matter.

Vendors per purchasing group

Hello
How can I get a list over vendors per purchasing group in SAP?
The solutions I've read about here in the past does not work.
regards
André

assignment of purchasing group to vendors is not best practice and never saw it anywhere
the field in LFM1 (vendor master purchasing data view) is only taken into account if you did not assign a purchasing group to the material master.
the process of procurement is starting with demand for a material, the requisition has already to go to a purchasing group before the purchasing group does the source determination.
It could only be different if you have fixed sources per material and purchasing groups in the vendor master instead of the material master, then the source determination could happen in the MRP run.
If you never maintained in purchasing group in a vendor master, then you can only analyze existing PO to find a link between purchasing group and vendor.
One way to analyze this in SAP would be transaction TAANA.
Just click the execute button in TAANA, enter EKKO table and click the multiple selection for the variant field. In next screen click the ad-hoc variant button.
In the next screen select the fields purchasing group and vendor number and purchasing group, then click continue and execute your selection.
You will get a list with any vendor/purchasing group combination you ever had in a PO

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?

Grace

Vendor schema group not appearing in purchasing data of Vendor sub range

Hi Experts,
I have created a vendor sub range and when maintaining the purchasing data, the vendor schema group field is not visible.
Is there any specific settings reqd. after maintaining the sub-range.
Please provide pointers!!!

HI Sandeep,
As i said this is not possible in stanadard SAP.
Even when you try opening VSR specific Purchasing data, there you will NOT get vendor schema group.
Reason is, Vendor Schema group will be maintained at Main vendor level. So irrespective of VSR, it will pick pricing procedure in the purchasiong Document.
VSR: In the vendor master, you can maintain different data for particular vendor sub-ranges, such as ordering addresses or terms of payment, for example.
When creating a purchase order with a known vendor, different data is only determined if the vendor sub-range is entered in the initial screen.
Hope this clears.

Purchase info record and Contract are not reflected in SC

Hi...
while i am creating a shopping cart in SRM for a particular product... i am not able to find the Purchase info record or Contract in SC - Source of supply tab...
I maintained the Purchase info record and Contract for the particular material in Backend(4.7n).
Plz throw some lights on this...
thx....

Hi
if you are using classic scenario it might have dispalyed in SOS.
check info records/contracts are existed in backend for your product in srm?
is your cart is special request(describe requirement ) or internal goods and services?
if you are in ecs mode. it is not possible to see your inforecord/ backend contract in srm sos window

Purchase group in Purchase order from creator not from Material Master

Hi All,
Can you please help me with the next one?
Points rewarded.
In the materialmaster is purchase group 44B entered but
The default purchase group of the buyer is 55C. Is it possible
that the value 55C is automaticaly placed in the PO when
the buyer creates the Purchase order?
At this moment always the default value from Material
master is proposed.
Thank you in advance,
Eric.

Hi,
You have to look at the overall process.
The idea of the Purchasing Group is to indicate which buyer manages that material in that plant.
SO when the system (or a user) generates a requisition for that item at that plant, the system then knows who should convert it etc.
So my question to you would be, "why have you got a default P group in the material master record that is NOT the buyer who manages that item at that plant?"
If several buyers share a list of materials then just use one P group for the "group" of buyers, instead of separate P groups for each buyer.
The system doesn't have the option to automatically overwrite the P group on the requisition because this may be someone just "helping out" the buyer who is busy and so it does not mean that the requisition should be changed to be linked to this other P group.
You already have the field "created by" on the PO and so if you need to report on who created what, then simply use this field instead of P group.
But the P group on the material master (and therefore the requisition) shoudl ALWAYS be the P group that will convert reqs for this item plant combination.
