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 Im 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 Im 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

PO cratead by Purchasing group using different Purchase Requisition

Hi Friends,
Please tell me the transaction and process of the following scenario.
More than 100 requestors are creating purchase Requisitions for different materials. How the purchase group will come to know all this purchase requisitions while creating purchase order?.
Thanks

Hi,
Purchasing group can be differentiated as per
1. Materials handled by them
2. Location (plant, storage location)
The purchasing requisition created by users will include the above information. The respective purchasing group needs to identify their PRs. They can do that with the help of report which gives PRs by
1. material group
2. location
Hope this answers your query.
regards,

Derivation of fund center based on purchasing group

Hi,
It is required to determine the fund center based on purchasing group (during PR creation). I have gone through one thread which suggests inclusion of the field EKGRP into FMDERIVE, then to COBL.
However I was trying to check whether it can be done through table lookup using field USERTEMP1 and assigning the same to EKGRP. But in the table lookup screen, the upper part contains the fields BANFN (Purchase Requisition Number) and BNFPO (Item Number of Purchase Requisition) which need to be assigned to source fields. I am not sure what source fields should be assigned and how it will work.
Request your input in this regard.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi,

Error when creating purchasing group.

Hi,
i am facing two issue when creating purchasing group. i never had such a situation before.
i have created two p.groups successfully and moved to quality.later i figured one of them is missing USER ID now when i try to enter user ID in user column getting below mention error.
Entry XXXX Does not exist in USR02-check your entry.message no 00058.i have checked in USR02 None of ID's exist i used in newly created groups.but ID i used in other groups has no issue even doesn't exist in USR02,but it shows value US in OB(Object type filed).
both ID's are not being created in Development in other words SAP ID's with SU01 but we never had such issue before while changing or creating now purchasing group.
Another thing i have noticed that OB(Object type field is missing in Dev.) i can see that field in Quality even in sand box but not visible in Dev.that when i use OME4.but when i use SM30-V_024 i can see the OB field.Somehow OB field is hidden when going through SPRO or ME04.
This is about Sap ver.4.7
Suggestion are much appreciated.

Hi,
Before creating new purchasing groups- 1st check your user ID is authorized to purchasing groups create in t.code: OME4.
In development system you can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers, upon saving system will create a transport request. Later you can transfer related transport request to quality system for your testing.
For example: You can creates new purchasing groups with USER ID and telephone numbers
Purchasing groups-------------USER ID ---------------Telephone numbers
Z01-----------------------------------USR01------------------232569875
Z02-----------------------------------USR02------------------232589876

User Exit which triggers after creation of purchasing group

Hi all.
We are creating purchasing group by using the FOLLWOING PATH
SPRO->MATERIAL MANAGEMENT->PURCHASING->CREATING PURCHASING GROUP.
Our issue is whenever new purchasing group is created I need to track this and send this new purchasing group details only to other system. Can we have some user exit we can call one RFC.
Pls let me know. Thanks in advance.
cheers,
sami.

Hi,
You can check which BADi is getting initiated on creating new purchase order and do your coding there..
You can search a BADi with SQl trace..

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

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.

Update purchasing group in scheduling agreements

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to update purchasing group field in scheduling agreements, which are time-independent (EKKO-STAKO = ' ').
In my environment, I'm not authorized to use CALL TRANSACTION statement.
If possible, I'd need a way that works both in 4.6c and 6.0 versions.
I have tried several options, but none works:
-BAPI_SAG_CHANGE: "Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported" (OSS note 1046794) (Also, this is not available in 4.6c)
-BAPI_SCHEDULE_MAINTAIN: "Scheduling agreements with time-independent conditions are not supported" (OSS note 1046794) (Also, this is not available in 4.6c)
-BAPI_AGREEMENT_MAINTAIN: Does not have the possibility to change field 'purchasing group'. (Moreover, it internally performs a CALL TRANSACTION).
-ME_UPDATE_AGREEMENT_PO: I've been not able to change field 'purchasing group'.
I'd be grateful about any hint. Thanks in advance!

In case it is useful for anyone else, I have solved the problem using:
CALL FUNCTION 'ME_UPDATE_DOCUMENT'
Thanks anyway!

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.

PO Report by Purchasing Group

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to run a report by purchasing group? The report should output at a minimum:
PO #
Vendor Name
Line Item Number
Line Item $ Value
Line Item $ Actual (Invoiced) Value
Charge Number (WBS)
Performance key input or ME2N almost provides this information, but I Performance key input does not include amount billed and I can not export the ME2N report.
Thanks for any help

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.
