Purchase group in SRM

Hi ,
In R/3 system , Purchase groups are maintained for the material master and defaults to Requisition
Like wise Whenever user create shopping cart in SRM , how the purchase groups is captured in the shopping cart.

Purchase groups are picked up based on the settings maintained in Repsonsibility tab of the Purchase group in PPOMA_BBP.
1.By maintaining Object ID(ID of the user dept node), this Purchase group is responsible to all users belonging to that node.
If you do not maintain Product category under Product responsibility then that Purchase group is responsible for all product categories user is selected.
Product categories in Extended attributes are maintained at parent level where a Purch org or Company code are responsible. This is not relevant here.
If you want to maintain an equation that a purchase group is responsible to only certain product categories then maintain those in Responsible product categories section. This will be helpful in certain scenarios like multiple purchase groups are responsible to the same user group and each Purch group looks after only certain product categories.
In this case you maintain Object ID of user node in Orgn Responsibility of all relevant purchase groups. When user create SC, system first check the combination of Object ID and Product category. If it find the right combination then that purch grp will be picked.
If no combination exists then system picks the purch group whose node ID is close to the node of user. Because you have assigned same user to many purchase groups.
So it is upto you how you define the purchase groups and product category settings.

SRM - Need to create purchasing group in SRM by a program.

Hello,
I have a requirement which is to retrieve all the backend purchasing groups and compare them with the existing SRM system.If Purchasing group is NOT PRESENT then with the data available from BACKEND i.e. Purchasing group id, Pur. group name, Upper Org unit the Pur group needs to be created in SRM.
I request you to please provide some ideas for this as no standard FM is present for Pur group creation.
Thanks to all.

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.

Material Group Link to Purchasing Group

Dears,
The client requirement is that they want to link material group to Purchasing group for materials without material master. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
I dont think it would be possible in SAP MM through std configuration.
May be you have to maitaina z table and use it via exit during PR creation.
FYI.
The same functionality is possible through SAP SRM, where we map the material groups and the purchasing group
in SRM or structure.

Purchasing orgs in SRM

Hi
I would like to create a new purchasing org and a few purchasing groups in SRM; in extended classic scenario.
Do we create the purchasing entities in ECC first and replicate this to SRM?? if so how do we replicate? is there any automatic replication?
Or do we manually create the entit in both the systems. Do we need to give a backend reference in SRM?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It's a good practice to first create the Enterprise Structure in ECC. From SPRO settings you can create the Org Strucutre. Once the Org Strucutre is created in ECC then you need to create the same org stucuture in SRM. Only plant needs to be replicated from the R/3 System, rest you need to create it manually.
Under Entereprise sturcute you will find Defination and assignment. So create the Org Structure as per client request and report "BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED" you need to run this in order to replicate the new plant created in R/3
Once this is done you need to create the Org structure manually in SRM.
If you want to replicate the org strucutre from HR System then please have a look the below SAP Notes 550055 ,934372

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,

I cannot find purchasing group in Shopping cart item basic data in SRM 7.0

Hi experts,
We are using SRM 7.0 and stand alone scenario. When we are creating shopping cart, we cannot we cannot find the purchasing group field in item basic data. We have not changed any standard SC layout and I've already specified the responsibility of the purchachsing group. Now I have no idea why the purchasing group is not visible.
Can anybody help me on my issue? Many thanks.

Grey out the purchase group fields in SRM 7.0 ?

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement where in we need to grey out the purchasing group field in the item section of shopping cart screen . we are using SRM 7.0 portal. So that users cannot change the defualt pruchasing group.
Is there a way where we can make this invisible without making any changes to the standard code.
We have checked the below path, we are not getting the correct field for purchasing group in that.
SRM -> SRM Server -> Cross-Application Basic settings -> Extension and Field Control (Personalization) -> Control Actions -> Display Standard Metadata for Actions on Substructure Level Regards
Any Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

SRM Purchasing Group by the user

Hi,
When the user create a SC, Purchasing group is determined by the material/product group (part of configuration).
Can the business user choose the Purchasing group while creating a SC ( like R/3 ) ?
If yes, how do I make it work, Please help.
-Pranav

Hi,
Yes but only if your Pgroups are pointed on your user/node where your user sits.
in that case, the drop down list in the SC will allow you to select the Pgroups.
in other terms, if the system is not able to select a pgroup because all your pgroups are configured the same way (Prcat..), then the user is able to select one amongst all pgroups.
Kind regards,
Yann

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?
Regards,
Grace

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,
Best regards,
SH.

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.

Same Purchasing group assigment to multiple Purchasing Org

Dear all,
I am facing an issue in SRM 5.0 in Classic Scenario.
In R/3 the freedom exist to assign independently the Purchasing Organization and the Purchasing Group to a PREQ or PO.
Then the following lists have been created:
PurchORG:
- PORG1: Porg of country 1
- PORG2: Porg of country 2
and PurchGROUP
- PGRP1: Pgrp Office sup
- PGRP2: Pgrp IT
and then I want to be able to use all the following combinations:
PORG1-PGRP1
PORG1-PGRP2
PORG2-PGRP1
PORG2-PGRP2
To do that I create in my Organization Plan the following:
- PORG1
 -PGRP11
 -PGRP12
- PORG2
 -PGRP21
 -PGRP22
However as I am in Classical Scenario I need to link the OrgPlan Pgrp to the coresponding in R/3
- PORG1
 -PGRP11 >PGRP1
 -PGRP12 >PGRP2
- PORG2
 -PGRP21 >PGRP1 : Error Purchasing group ... in system ... already assigned to ... (message BBP_ATTR 030)
 -PGRP22
1) I have read somewhere but I can not find it anymore that the system messages can be updated to avoid this error and to allow that functionality. Has somebody done it? Where is it? I am correct?
2) Otherwise do you have an option to do it?
How must I create my Org Plan as I suppose all Porg and PGrp must exist once in Org Plan.
Then must I use the BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND with Determine Responsible Purchasing Group(s) BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND. Can you explain how, or provide piece of code.
I looked in doculentation but I don't see clearly the difference between the 2 exit objects (they seem duplicate for me):
- ES_PURCH_DATA - This output structure should contain the object type and the object ID of the default purchasing group and the higher-level purchasing organization. If you are dealing with a backend purchasing group (purchasing organization), then you must also define the corresponding backend IDs.
- ET_PURCH_DATA - This output table passes the list of all responsible purchasing groups and their higher-level purchasing organizations. A table line is formed corresponding to structure ES_PURCH_DATA.
Thanks in advance
RD

Re: Purchasing group from external requirements
Re: BAdI BBP_PGRP_FIND
Re: Purchasing group from external requirements
Re: Sample code for BADI implementation
Every purchaser will be assigned to the relevant purchasing groups in Organization structure and purchasing groups have the product responsibility (product category) and person/organization responsiblility assigned in the 'Responsibility' tab. I think this should be sufficient to get the linkage.
Re: "Proc_Group" assignment to shopping cart from transferred requisitions
Using BAdI BBP_PGRP_FIND for purch.group determination
Use Function Module -> BBP_OM_READ_PURCH_ORG_ID
Give Logical system and Purchasing group to this FM.
It will give you
ES_PURCH_ORG-OT
ES_PURCH_ORG-OBJID
Use this info in table HRP1000(Infotype 1000 DB Table) to get the value of text.
Function module - BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP
The purchaing groups are responsible for product catrgories (material group) and not material numbers. If you use "describe requirement" to create a shopping cart, the purchasing group will default from this responsibilty of product categorty and not material number.
Also the purchasing group can default on other criterias like the organizational responsibility and so on....
Inorder to determine the reponsible purchase organization for creating shopping carts for all product categories, this task can be accomplished by implemeting the badi BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI. here you have to write some logic to change the purchasing organization based on product category. In the purchasing cycle Purchase Organization is not responsible to procure the product, Purchase Group is responsible for the same. In the Organization structure after defining Purchasing organization, you might have define Purchase Group also in the purcase group RESPONSIBLE TAB you have to define the PRODUCT CATAGORY to be procure by this Purchase group.
Do let me know.
