PO message should get failed for P.grp other than AB1 and AB2

Question

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have a requirement like PO message should get failed for P.grp other than AB1 and AB2.
Detail explanation:
I have a P.grp AB1,AB2,AB3,AB4 etc.... The current process is once PO created and saved the message will be triggered and IDOC is transmitted to the vendor, irrespective of what ever the P.grp.
My requirement is like the PO message should get failed if P.grp is other than AB1 and AB2, and reason should be shown any where in IDOC or in messages.
Pls advice.
Thanks.

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for the reply...
There are only 5 vendors which is relevant for EDI and P.grp AB1 and AB2 denotes EDI PO, same P.grp mapping has been done in PI also via data ID. The user sometimes selects the P.grp AB3, AB4 etc incorrectly and it goes to the vendor which in-turn again the customer has to amend the PO.
Now I'm planning to include a piece of logic while saving the PO, check if the vendor is EDI vendor then P.grp should be AB1 or AB2, if it is a different P.grp  then the system will not allow to save the PO,so that the user will select the relevant P.grp for EDI vendors. Pls let me know your thought and inputs.
Thanks.
