PO status Held in extended classic scenario

Question

Hello SRM gurus,
         I am very new to SRM with MM background. I have a question which i think you guys might have come across earlier.
We are using version 5.5 extended classic scenario, replicated all the vendors and materials from R/3 to SRM, did all the basic configuration needed, we are able to see those vendors and materials in SRM also. here is the issue. we are trying to add an item to the shopping cart which in turn creates a PO in SRM so that it automatically replicates in R/3. But the PO status in SRM is Held and we found out that vendor is not assigned to the PO which is very clear why the PO has been held. So what could be reason the vendor is not getting assigned to the PO though we have the inforecord and source list(checked the fix indicator also)for the same material and vendor in R/3 ?
I'm sure many of u would have come across this issue. please help me out.

Hi Satya
      Thanks for your quick response.
1) We are using Workflow without approval process
2) I checked BBP_NUM_SUSPO in SRM server. There is nothing in there. Is this the correct number range for PO? I checked OMH6 in R/3. please tell me how to sync it.
   When we try to post it after editing the PO with vendor number, we are getting Waiting for approval error though we have activated Without workflow approval process. let me know why is it showing that error?
We have another strange issue which is, We have assigned a material say M01 to a pur.group P01,Pur.org POrg1 and vendor V01 and have info record and source list, but we don't see this Pur.grp when we create the shopping cart and it defaults to some other pur.grp say AP01 which we deleted long back. can you tell me where it is picking up the deleted ones?
thanks
Pradheep.
