Purchasing group for free text SC

Hi everyone,
We have a requirement to change the purchasing group for free text & catalog SC's. We are using SRM 7.0. Normal procedure is to select the material from catalog, purchasing group is selected & once it is approved a PO is created.
But, now the requirement is that if a user is selecting a catalog material, then the selection of purchasing group should be restricted as per the business.
And if the SC is being created from Free text, then the purchaser's selection should be restricted to very few options in drop down.
Is it possible? I was thinking if the selection of purchasers could be restricted using BADI: BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI or BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI. But, there is no option for differentiation based on SC created using Catalog & SC's created from free text.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhakti

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for reply.
@Muthu: I explored the tables, but the only difference I could find between the catalog & free text SC materails is that the product id is missing for free text SC. Based on this I am unsure if any BADI can be used. Kindly let me know, if the BADI's can be called on this criteria.
@ Virendra: I doubt if that, that can be solution, since the product cataegory for free text cannot be fixed. It will depend on user requirement.
Pls help me to define the purcahsing groups for free text SC's.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhakti

GR based IV to be checked for free text requirement

Hi All,
Is there any option that if we create shopping carts for free text requirement,GR based IV should be checked automatically in purchase order created for that shopping cart.Or will this get replicated depending on vendor master we select.Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi,
As of standard, this setting in PO would come from Vendor master only. But in case you want this to happen for all free text items, then you can use the doc change badi as suggested by Masa. You should use the po change method to pass this indicator.

MN04 not working for free text PO

Hi All,
I have maintained a condition record through MN04 in purchase organisation, company code and vendor combination. This condition record is working fine for regular purchase orders. But it is not working for free text PO's. Could you please guide me why is it so?
I am maintaining same purchase organisation, company code and vendor combination for free text PO also. Question is why it is working for a purchase order with material inside it and why it is not working for purchase order with out material.
Thank you all in advance

Hi,
Seems you are using a custom print program and form. I would suggest to change the program to SAPFM06P, form routine as "ENTRY_NEU" and the form as "MEDRUCK" in NACE transaction for the output type and check the scenario again. Also cross check the settings with the KBA: 1829682 - Output type is not determined in Purchase order
If its getting triggered, then check the custom program and the form with the help of technical team.

For example, this program works really well with saving long text using the SAVE_TEXT function. Here you need to create the object/id in SE75. For this program you enter the id on the right like 999999 and enter the text on the left, execute and the text is saved, now change the id to 999998 and hit enter, notice the text is blank, now enter 999999 again, notice the text for this id has come back, this is because the program uses READ_TEXT to retrieve the text.

Yes, this is implemented using a selection screen, but the same principals apply and this can be easily converted to a dynpro application.

Purchasing Groups for Creating PRs

Dears,
What is the best practice, shall we create seperate purchasing group for all dept employees (i.e., each and every employee of all departments) or shall we give 1 purchasing group to each dept. Please note that we want to implement Release Strategy for PR so that each Dept Manager will release his own Dept's PRs. Thanks.

Hi
Use p.grp & doc type as characteristics (you can have others also) and create release codes for each department (say HOD- department A). Assign user ID to this release code in work flow tab in PR release procedure. Assign release code & release group to particular person's profile (PR release role) in PFCG.
When a PR is created, depending on p.grp used in it, the work flow will be triggered to user ID attached in IMG. That person can release the PR based on the roles. When PR is released, buyer will be notified (workflow consultant can set a mail notification).
Thanks

Hi Kel134,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having microphone issues on your iPhone when you place a call to someone and they cannot hear you unless you activate the speaker function. In this situation I would recommend the steps in the following article to help isolate and resolve the situation.
iPhone: Microphone issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5183
Resolve the issue
Follow these steps, testing after each.
Make sure nothing is plugged in to the jack connector.
Make sure nothing is blocking any of the microphones (refer to the pictures below to find your device's microphones). Check for these:
Dirt or debris
A screen protector or case
When you're holding your phone next to your ear, make sure you don't block the microphone with your fingers or shoulder and make sure to speak into the microphone
Turn the iPhone off and then on.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
If necessary, find general iPhone hardware troubleshooting suggestions.
For further assistance, contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps,

Price differece between purchase req and PO for free text purchase

Hi there
Has anyone found a good solution for the following problem.
A free text purchase requisition item is created with a value = x. The buyer goes out to quote (not using SAP RFQ - manual) and comes back with a price change. The buyer creates the purchase order referencing the purchase requisition, but they need to change the value to x+10.
The client wants to stop the purchase order been created if the value is above a certain percentage. The standard settings in the system are for material values. Does anyone know how to extend this to a short text item on a purchase requistion?
Thanks
Roz

Hi,
This is not possible to achieve in SAP standard functionality.
You can do one thing, keep Price field for the PO Document type of Text Purchases as display, which will not allow user to change the price for Text POs.
Use Release Strategy for Purchase Requisitions and keep changeability for the Release indicator as "4" and % Changeability as 10%. And ask user ro change the price in ME52N only instead of changing it in PO. If it will increase more than 10% the PR Value then system will reset the release and this PR needs to be released again.
If it is not acceptable then you can try it with user exit "MM06E007" - Change document for requisitions upon conversion into PO

Purchasing Groups for multiple Purchase Organizations

Dear all,
in SRM 5.0 we are using two different purchase organizations which are linked to backend purchase organizations in extended classeical szenario.
When I try to assign purchasing groups linked to backend purchasing groups to both both purchase organizations I get the following error message:
>> Purchasing group xxx in system xxx already assigned to unit xxx
>> Message no. BBP_ATTR030
>>
>> Diagnosis
>> You have attempted to enter the backend ID of a purchasing group or to change an existing one. >> >> However, this backend ID is already allocated to unit xxx (organizational unit xxx) in the organizational structure.
>>
>>
>> Procedure
>> Enter a different backend ID for the selected purchasing group.
Is there a way to assign purchasing groups to more than one purchase org?
Thanks and regards

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 required for free update?

Heya, having some difficulties with the App Store on the desktop itunes ap for windows.
When it comes to putting money into my itunes account, i always use gift cards, as i dont want to use my credit card for it. This has always worked fine. Generally, i buy apps, and so when the app updates come through, i get them for free.
A few days ago, however, i noticed i had 3 (now 4) updates pending. as usual, i went to Aps -> 3 Updates avaliable, and clicked "Download all free updates".
But, however, it now brngs up a pop-up box asking for my account details, and to set up billing details.
I dont wish to set up any billing details, but it would seem that i have to if i want to access any FREE updates.
Any ideas on why?

Hmm, thing is, im already logged in....
ill check if setting it to none does anything...
EDIT: Aha! that fixed it. just had to click continue with "None" selected. didnt see that option before.
It would seem that my ID had been wiped, however, or something. all my review stats etc are still there, but on finishing the billing info screen, it said "congratulations, you Apple ID has been created"
Weird.
Oh well, at least it works

Customization of purchase panel for free article preview

For iOS apps, how can the purchase panel be customized for metered or protected article access when free article preview is enabled?
By default, the purchase panel appears as follows - either dark or lighter UI depending on DPS and iOS version:
However, Entertainment Weekly appears to have customized this purchase panel:
It seems that embedded web viewers on publisher-hosted pages may feature custom paywall pages; however, how may this panel be customized for iOS?
Is this html, or native nibs of the viewer?

"You are previewing this issue. Buy the issue to get access to all the articles" - This is the default text with the default app library built into the app. You can customize the text using the Customized strings under the Adavanced Options in App builder
App Details -> Advanced Options -> Use Customized Strings

The other text at the end is pulled from the article description field -> meta-data which can be edited from the folio producer editor

Creating Groups for Mass Text Messages and emails

I have been searching but haven't been able to find out how to create groups to send bulk text messages or emails from my iphone. Can anybody help?

Hi,
I am new to this board and I've had the iphone only for a few days, but today, on thanksgiving, I wanted to wish about 50 of my closest friends and family a very happy thanksgiving I noticed the same thing and came here to find a resolution.
Next upgrade this is something Apple really needs to take care of.
Preferably _before Christmas_, otherwise I'm going to have to write those 50 friends, plus texts for random people I just want to keep in touch with.
Don't even want to think about it.
Of course I still have the option to use my good old Sony Ericsson W800 I gave my mother, but what does this tell us about Apple????
Thank you,
Teisha
