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.

Multiple/Exclude Purchasing Groups

Hi!
I am looking for a way to assign two purchasing groups to different parts of an organization. Usually this is not an issue, but in this case one of the purchasing groups has been assigned to the root level as well and therefore is inherited to the rest of the structure as well.
Here's a short example to demonstrate the problem
Dep A            <- Assigned to purch. group I
|- Dep B          <- ...                      I
|- Dep C          <- ...                      II
The issue with this matter is that there are now two purchasing groups i.e., I and II, assigned to Dep C due to the inheritance of group I from Dep A. However, all I am looking for is to assign purchasing group II to Dep C as a distinct group.
Is there any way to exclude a purchasing group from Dep C, or another way to deal with this problem? Any ideas will be highly appreciated! Many thanks in advance!
Best regards from Phoenix,

Hi - I too wanted to comment on this issue. Given that our company has buyers across the organzation (ie. West coast vs East Coast), we have the same problem as above. Too many buyer codes appearing. What is even more difficult is that they aren't assigned specifically to a product category that during the creation of manual carts, the default purchasing group changes if the product category is adjusted to a different value than the default.
My question : Is there a way to a) Assign ONE buyer code to a requisitioner so that purchasing group is only used across all carts? Or b) is there a way as you indicated above to perform that assignment elsewhere, either thru a user exit or attribute field. We are using Classic Scenario and on SRM 5.0. Perhaps this may solve the problem for the first requestor as well. THanks Bill

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,

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.

Change the purchasing group of shopping cart created in SRM from PR in ECC

Dear All,
When a PR is created in ECC and transferred to SRM using program BBP_EXTREQ_TRANSFER, the purchasing group does not get assigned correctly in the SC created in SRM.
I tried implementing Badi BBP_BADI_EXTREQ_OUT to resolve the same.
But it is not working.
I've passed the value 'O' to the field PROC_GROUP_OT and the puchasing group value to the field PROC_GROUP_ID of the parameter ORG_IMP. But I'm not sure wat value has to be passed to the field PARENT_GUID of the same parameter and tried passing the PR number once and the item number once to it.
But none of it is found to be giving the expected results.
The purchasing group found in the SC in SRM is different from that given in the PR in ECC.
The code that i've written in the Badi implementation is as follows.
move transtab_imp to ls_transtab.
ls_org_imp-PROC_GROUP_OT = 'O'.
ls_org_imp-proc_group_id = ls_transtab-eban-ekgrp.
read table item_imp into ls_item_imp with key item_number = ls_transtab-eban-bnfpo.
if sy-subrc = 0.
ls_org_imp-parent_guid = ls_item_imp-item_guid.
endif.
APPEND ls_org_imp to org_imp.
Can anyone help me to resolve the issue??
Thanks,
Kayal

Change Purchasing group of PR created from PO

Hi All,
When the PR is created individually via ME51N and released it, it still allows to change the Purchasing group by MNE52N.
But when the PR gets created from the Work order, it does not allow to change the Purchasing group of the PR.
This seems to be standard SAP functionality. Now incase I want to change the Purchasing group of the PR, I have to go and change the purchasing group on Work order.
Is there any way by which Purchasing group field on the PR created from Work order, can be made editable.
Regards,
Shahu

This seems to be standard SAP functionality and SAP won't allow to change the Purchasing group if the document is created with reference.
Handled this by custom enhancement.

Change Default purchasing group in requisition

Hi,
I have a purhcasing group X populated from info record while creating the requisitions using ME51N.
When i try to overwrite the default purchasing group with new purchasing group, systme does not allow.
System doesnot allow to change the default purcasing group.
How can i get rid of this ??

I do not get any error . If in place of original purchasing group (which is defaulted from Info record) , i write new purchasing group then while saving system again changes it back to the original purchasing group.
I should be able to change the pur. group as i want. But system doens't allow that.
What can be the reason ??

Changing purchasing groups

Dear All,
I have recently created two new purchasing groups, this has been tested and looks o.k.
I'm just about to add the new purchasing groups to the relevant material masters and info records, I'm going to use a mass update transaction.
My question is : Can anyone think of any pittfalls in changing these groups on info records or materials masters, or are the groups used for reporting purposes.
Kind Regards
Mark.
Edited by: Tony Lannon on Feb 5, 2008 5:17 PM

The functionality of Pruchase group is reporting as well as authorization purpose and it can be used in Release strategy
you can change it in the info record and or material master there won't be any transactional dependancy except the reporting.
The purchasing organization is further subdivided into purchasing groups (buyer groups), which are responsible for day-to-day buying activities.
A purchasing group can also act for several purchasing organizations.
Hope this will help you

RE: Change Purchasing Group for vendor

Hi SAP Guru,
Can some guide me for the following issue:.
When a PO is closed, we do not have the option to choose where we send it. SAP will route the workflow to buyer of the PO. If someone from purchasing leaving the company and we need everything that has been going to her SAP inbox to be sent to another buyer instead.
Thanks

That you can set up the inobx of user to route to the diff person.
Go to inbox-setting-workflow settings-maintain substitute
this is for like temporary some one going on vacation that time that person can substitue to others.
Now if some one leave the company and you have to route teh workflow to someone else in this case
it is purely based on the logic you have define for work flow routing
suppose in my previous client our work flow flows based on the Purchase group and purchase group is assigned to the user id now
that person is leave the company than assign that purchase group to appropriate person so without destrubing the workflow settings system can send that message to the user who assigned this purchase group.

Purchase group change.
