Inclusion of Purchase group in service entrey sheet release strategy
Hi
We are trying to include the purchase group in service entry sheet release strategy but system is not considering it.
Pl. let us know which table you have considered for purchase group character. We had considered EKKO table and Field EKGRP.
Regards
KandreThanks Solved. The same field is done in development server, but after the request is moved to 201 and we manually changed to EKKO and EKGRP, that why the release strategy is not picking.
Thanks for fast response.

Repair Purchase Order without Service Master
Good Day Guru's
I need your help please. A little history....
I have recently took a position at a company as their SAP Admin and quit the consulting world. We go live first of December....While looking at some config, requirements, etc. one of the things I ran into is that there was not a process in place for a delivery order being created for a repair order (Misc PO), STO or for a Sub Contract PO. I spoke with the Purchasing Manager in reference to this; and she said she was never told about a delivery order as an option....I suggested we should have an automated process in place for a repair PO. As the design sits now, the buyer will have to manually take the PO to the shipping department, there is not a delivery order, packing list, etc being created. The functional consultant with the company we have implementing our solution, set up a MISC PO without delivery and did not explain the functionality of a delivery order to them so the company could make a good sound judgement on a process. I then had a meeting with the Purchasing Manager, Functional Consultant, and also his superior. He was then asked to put a process in place and come back with a solution. Well, they did this yesterday (I was out sick). He stated that "since no service master" for the repair process and external operations that it is not possible to create delvery since these PO's are for service; so go with current design." Since the STO and the Sub Contract PO did not have delivery orders either that our company wanted to see a demo on the delicery order process before they say yes.
In my experience you can create a delivery order with the sub con process with an enhancement ...or at least I thought (been a while since I worked with purchasing). Has this changed? Why would I need to set up the Service Master for this (I know it is SAP best practice but all I wanted was a delivery order process), our requirement was not to track every step of the repair on the PO as an operation.....
My question comes down to this. Is the reason I can't use the repair order as a sub con process due to the fact they are using the sub con process for a true sub contract? Can this be set up as two different categories so both could be used? Is there another way to get a delivery order created for a repair po (in this case misc po)? Is there something I need to suggest differently in order to show it is a repair PO versus a true sub contract? I would appreciate some guidance on this that I can pass to the functional consultant....
I just find that not using the delivery order process not very efficient and not to mention placing a manual task for shipping material out to vendor for repair. Hopefully I made this clear.
Thanks in advanceHi
You need to show purchase cost in some GL account. System recognises GL account through material master or material group with account assignment combination. Without these two you cannot identify to which account postings should happen. Assign a valuation class to a material group in OMWQ and assign a GL account to valuation class in GBB - VBR for automatic picking of GL account in purchase order. However you can overwrite this GL account as per the requirement.

MM-SRV: Adopt Material Group from Service Master instead of default in SPRO
At my current client we are encountering a problem when creating requisitions for services. When the system was originally configured years ago, a default value for material group was entered in the IMG under:
Logistics > Materials Management > External Services Management > Source Determination and Default Values > For Client
Field is "Default material group at item level" (V_T165-MATKL)
Up to now this singular default value was fine because they only had one material group for services. They are now wanting to further stratify their services spend, so there are now several additional values for Material Group that can (and are) used among their service master records. Having a single default value for Material Group is resulting in incorrect reporting of spend per Material Group.
I removed the default value in the config node stated above, but now the problem is that when creating a requisition line for services (item category D) in ME51N, no value for Material Group comes in at all, resulting in an error because Material Group is a mandatory field. Making the field optional on the Field Selection Groups is not a valid solution, as they need Material Group for spend reporting.
What we really need is for the Material Group to be automatically copied over from the service master data, in the same manner that this takes place for the material group contained in a material master.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
JasonHi,
Hi,
1) If service master is used in the PO item, then the system will take the
material group from the service master (AC01).
2) If no service master is maintained then the system will take the
material group from the table T023. To be able to change this material group on services level - if you want a different material group on services level, you must set the field ESLL-MATKL for visible in the table control settings, and the change of the service group must be carried out manually.
Please be advised that it is the standard behaviour that the material
group on service level is not updated automatically after you have
changed the material group on purchasing level. The material group on
service level must be adjusted manually.
3) By default for service lines the system will consider the material
group which is entered at the Item level.
Services can have different material groups, therefore you can change
the material group at service level. The material group in service line
can be different and always takes higher priority from the material
group at the item level.

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,
zafarthe 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) -
Hi guys,
We have not yet gone live. When we check the no ranges for "SERV" group of service master, current no status is 3000110 in production.
Can we change this to 3000000? is there any problem by changing this number?
please suggest meHi,
I think you people have taken the client copy with all the customizations instead of creating a client and transporting the requests. So it has taken the status of the source client.
You can go to transaction ACNR and reset the status to ZERO and then proceed with Service Master creation. -
Purchasing Group in equipment BOM ( Item level)
At the time of creating equipment BOM , purchasing group in equipment BOM (item level ) will be in sync with material master purchasing data.
When we change purchasing data (Purchasing group) in material master at that time system will not change purchasing group in old equipment BOM's at item level. Is there any standard method to maintain purchasing group in old equipment BOM in sync with purchasing group in material master data (System ECC 6.0 ehp5)
Thanks and Regards,
PankajThanks for reply Peter ,
Because of this issue wrong information is flowing to PR (when component selected from equipment BOM in work order).
Is there any negative impact if I will remove purchasing group at BOM item level ?
I did analysis for this and found no negative impact on PR , still looking for expert advice as client is not looking for any core modification.
Thanks and Regards,

Update Purchasing group in MM42
Hi,
I have requirement to update purchasing group for article master in basic view and purchasing view.
I did have look at IDOC ARTMAS and BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_MAINTAINDATA_RT.They have purchasing group
field but it seems for basic view not purchasing view as they don't have any field for vendor.
Is there any f.M or bapi or idoc to update data in purchasing view.
Thanks,
Rekha.Hi Narendra,
BAPI_MAINTAINDATA_RT will upload purchasing group in mm42 but it will be in basic view.If we want to upload purchasing group for vendors in purchasing view then we don't have any field related to this in the BAPI.

Connect Purchasing group and supplier
Dear experts,
Iam in need for a possibility to connect supplier to a defined purchasing group.
That means if the requisitioner fill out a PREQ, I need a validation if he choose the correct Purchasing group to the selected supplier.
If not a warning message occurs.
Thx for your help
rgds johannesusually a PR is without source.
the source determination and selection is in general a purchasing task and not a requestors
the requisition will get the purchasing group assigned to the material.
you can enter a purchasing group in vendor master and info record. The validation has to be programmed by yourself in a user exit. -

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.
