Purchase group security in the create PO role

Hi, What are other larger companies with multiple purchase groups across multiple plants, doing with purchase group in their create purchase order role?  Are you following the same practice for all the purchase order roles that include purchase group?
Does anyone control the purchaser's access by purchase org, plant and purchase group or let them have all(*) for purchase group and follow business unit best practices.. We would potentially have 30 plus PO child roles per PO parent role for each plant if created by single purchase group access.

Hi,
Follow the steps
1. Go to "Personal Setting" Tab in PO
2. Select "Default Values" menu
3. In the PO Header section Select the Default Purchasing Group e.g. 000 initial
Remember if the Purchasing group field is blank here then the Purchasing Group field will not appear in me21n transaction instead it will appear after you put relevant details like Material number and Plant. The purchasing group field is defaulted from Purchase Info record in such case. But you can always change it

  • PURCHASING GROUP FIELD IN THE CREATE PURCHASE ORDER SCREEN

    Hi Guys,
                    I am facing a special kind of problem while creating a Purchase Order.
    Once I type the T-Code ME21N and press the Enter Key, the Screen for creating the Purchase Order opens. But, the thing is that, the Purchasing Group Field is not displayed under the Org. Data Tab at the Header Level of the Purchase Order Screen ME21N. Only, Purchasing Organization and Company Code are displayed.
    But, when you try with ME22N and ME23N, this problem is not there.
    I think, this problem has started from yesterday afternoon.
    I checked some of the Settings. But, I could not make out the actual problem.
    This problem I am facing in IDES Server.
    But, it is fine with the Clients' Servers.
    Please guide me in resolving this issue.
    Waiting for the fast and positive response.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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??

  • How to show purchasing group members in the item data of the shopping cart?

    Dear Experts,
    for s shopping cart in SRM 7.0 CS, i have the following business requirement:
    In the item data tab of the line item details, the drop down field for Purchasing group is there. Right to this field, there is also a link called "Show members".
    If i go on this link, than a small table opens that obviously is there to contain such additional information about the purchasers like name, telephone nummber or extension.
    Currently, this small table does not contain any of this additional information for any of the used purchasing groups.
    Can you please help me understand, how and where i can maintain this information in the sytem, so it shows in the shopping cart?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi,
    thank you very much for the answer.
    Actually, the question is not how to create the organizational unit of purchasing group in the PPOMA. This is all done. I just would like to understand, whether there is somewhere a place where i can maintain the name and maybe also the phone number of the buyer himself.
    Thus, i would hope to see these details (i.e. the name and the phone number) in that small table that opens up if i click on the "Show members" link that is situated right to the purchasing group field in the "Item data" tab of the details of the line item.
    Thank you.

  • Where did the securables go? Created Databse Role add Securables and Permission but it disappeared.

    Hello my friends:
    Create a Database Role, added Securables and set the Permissions. These are all stored Procedures.
    When I clicked Okay I get a message that the role was created successfully.
    Now I go back to the database role, click properties and the securables are not showing?
    Is this normal behavior? Where did they go?
    Thanks!

    I have sufficient rights: The DB Role is working because Users who I have assigned the Role Are able to do what they need. I just cannot see the securables when I go to properties. I also have a SYS Admin account, I log in as SYS Admin and still cannot see
    the securables.
    However, if I click on an individual user who is assigned to the role, I can see the securables from the properties tab.
    Hi,
    First check that you can see the role using a query:
    USE AdventureWorks2012;
    GO
    CREATE ROLE ArielyRole322
    GO
    Select * from sys.database_principals where name = 'ArielyRole322' and type = 'R'
    GO
    and now you can use the GUI interface as well:
    open the database -> security -> Roles -> Database Roles -> and here it is :-)

  • Purchasing Group authorization based on the user

    Hi All,
    Can anyone suggest me ideas on how to restrict in accessing details of a PO for a  purchasing group based on the user who tries to access it .
    the object is M-BEST_EKG.
    need guidance in using AUTHORITY_CHECK in restriciting PO group based on the userid.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ry

    Hi,
    ACTIVITY controls what user can do to the PO.
    01-Create
    02-Change
    03-Display
    EKGRP controls the purchasing group
    To restrict to a specific purchasing group, modify the authorization object in the role which user has to allow the specfic P.Grp. only
    Cheers !

  • How to determine the purchasing group using BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND

    Hello Friends
    We use SRM Server 5.5 (Classic scenario).
    As you know that, purchasing group has the responsible product categories in PPOMA_BBP, when user creates the shopping cart to determine the purchasing group. 
    In our case, we should determine the purchasing group using other criteria.
    MM side is OK to determine the purchasing group using specific criteria.
    Because Material Master has the purch. Group information. 
    In case of SRM, we should develop the logic using BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI.
    But I’m not sure how to use this badi.
    We want to determine the purchasing group based on the following logic.
    If described shopping cart without product ID
    Do Standard purchasing group determination logic.
    Else
    Assign the purch group from MARC- EKGRP (Purchasing Group)
    Is it possible to determine above the logic?
    If yes, Could you give me some information?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,
    SH

    Thank you for your answer.
    I found the way to develop the our logic using BADI: bbp_pgrp_find.
    But I’m not sure the following logic is correct.
    To differentiate described req. or product id req, We check the E_ITEM – PRODUCT using BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL.
    IF E_ITEM – PRODUCT is blank, Read the category ID to find the purchasing group.
    To find the purch. Group, we can use FM:  BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP.
    Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA – Category _ID
    Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
    ELSE
    CALL the customer function to read the R/3 purchasing group from MARC- EKGRP
    Search the HRT5500-TABNR using purchasing group from R/3.
    Search the HRP5500 – OBJID using HRT5500-TABNR
    Call the FM:  BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP
    Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA – PROC_GROUP – OBJID
    Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
    Thank you
    Best Regards

    Hi
    <b>Yes. Without modifying the HTML Templates of the Internet Service - BBPSC01,

  • How to create Purchase group

    Hai Guys,
    What is the procedure to create my own Purchase group?
    Kindly let me know the Steps..
    Regards
    Jino.

    Hi,
    You need to perform the following steps
    Goto SPRO > Material management > Purchasing > Create purchasing group
    Here you'll be able to enter the name, desciption, phone no., fax and e-mail Id of the purchasing group.
    If you need to maintain the printer settings for the purchasing group please follow the below path
    Goto SPRO > Material management > Purchasing > Messages > Assign output devices for the purchasing groups.
    You'll have to maintain this in the development client and get it transported to production.
    Hope this clarifies this issue.

  • 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.

  • The default value of purchasing group in "carry out Sourcing "

    Dear , expert :
         I work in SRM7.0 ,ECS!
       I have two questions about the screen of    "carry out Sourcing ":
    1,How can set the default value of purchasing group ?Now the default is empty .
    2.The purchaser can select many purchaser group here ,I want to know what controls this .in the group responsibility ?
    Thanks!

    Hi Alex
    If there are more purchase group responsible for one product category. the end user (requestor) can select which purchase group before he order a cart.
    so that sc goes to respective purchaser cockpit  in the sc ?
    if you have only one purchase group responsible . no probem
    or
    redistribute workload
    you can distribute your cart to another purchaser
    for eg. initailly ALEX is purchase group in the sc.
    now you can transfer MASA purchase group  via redistribution workload
    so now the sc shows in the MASA cockpit with new purchase group as MASA instead of ALEX purchase group name

  • Idoc Error    Empty Schedule Agreement  Purchasing Group Assnmt.

    Dear Experts,

      Idoc have wrong data filled in the Control Records, and segements are empy, status is set 26 in outbound process
      because Idocs have wrong data, it is also very hard to trace
      why ...
      pls help ..

    Using SU53 Immediately after Error will tell you what authorization is exactly missing. Send the screen shot to your BASIS team who normally incharge of giving authorization.
    If you have authorization for SU22, check what authorization objects SAP check within that Tcode and check whether those object and appropriate authorization for them is maintained in any one role / profile assinged.
