Hi Experts,

Going through Org Structure (PPOSA_BBP) through each and every Purchase Group and finding the Product Category is the laborious one. So can any one tel me the easy way to find out responsible buyer like going through tables or any other method.

Is there any std. object available, if not then what I need to do while creation of customized authorization object (in SU21), how system will call this authorization object in MIGO & ML81N. more detailed answers will be more useful.

Org. unit and associated material groups download from Org. structure

Hi,
I want to download the material groups and associated material groups(Defined in External attributes) from organisation structure.
Please suggest how to do it.
Best regards,
Sambit

Hi. There's a point. You said you wanted to download a list so I presumed you wanted all the org units and all the material groups assigned to them.
If you only want to do it 1 org unit at a time the function will work perfectly.
I f you do want to see all I have had another thought actually.
You could run program RHOMATTRIBUTES_REPLACE.
This allows you to replace 1 attribute with another, but if you do not press the "change" button it works as a good report on attributes.
If you just put in attibute PRCAT and then Old Value = Logical System of backend and New Value = Logical system of backend and tick substring then execute, it will show you all the org units and all the material groups.
Just be careful not to press the replace button on the output, that would actually change data.

Dave.

Purchasing groups as authorisation objects

I belive one can restrict the role of a user to create/display/edit purchsing documents by assigning purchasing groups with those characteristics or are the characteristics defined as authorization objects in the users role? I havent seen any customizations related to purchasing groups where we can restrict those groups to create/editing/displaying purchsing documents.
How do we make this assignemnt since purchasing groups are not part of the org structure.
Thanks

Dear Akhil,
In the Transaction code: PFCG look Purchasing Document role (click on the [LINK|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/52/6714a9439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/frameset.htm] to understand the concept of ROLE)
You can use this: Object M_BEST_EKG Purchasing Group in Purchase Order to assign Purchasing Groups and assign Activity like Display to control user role.
You can assign ACTVT = Create/Change/Display there are other activities like delete etc.
One more [USEFUL|http://www.fh-trier.de/uploads/tx_rfttheses/LamotteManuel.pdf] document about role and authorization concept.
Hope you will find these useful!

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,
zafar

the 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)

Purchasing group -- Organizational responsibility

Hello,
We are trying to create a report(BDC) to attach purchasing group to purch org.
In the Flat file we would be entering the basic data, address, function and responsibity.
But for reponsiblity we are able to find only the product category responsibility( trxn PP01).. we are not able to find organizational responsiblity field in the same because of which that cannot be updated.
Please help in this issue
Regards
J

Hi. Yes. You can ECATT on transaction PO10 or PP01.
Put in the org unit numbers and maintain the "EBP Product Responsibility" infotype.
It might tell you that you can not do this, but you can enable it by maintaining T777I in SM30.

Dave.

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.

Email address for purchasing groups in configuration

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody please tell me what are teh effects or where do the email addresses appear, i mean what docuemtns (PR,s POs etc) when we maintain the email address for the purchasing groupsin configuration at the following menu path SPRO>MM>purchasing>create purchasing groups. I want to understand what effects we will have if we do not maintain the email address in this table
Thanks
ANusha

forms used for communication with external companies are usually cusomized to your companies needs, e.g. with a company logo instead of the IDES logo, maybe even rearrangig the logo and adress position. and propably adding additional fields or removing unwanted information.
So you can use this email adress field if you want it to appear on the form.
We are using SAP for decades, the purchasing group table did not have this email field in older releases. We are printing the email adress from the user master of the PO Creator in our forms.
And we are not maintaining the email adress in the purchasing groups for this reason, and it does not harm any standard process.

Purchasing group transacting for multiple purchasing organizations

Hi,
I have a requirement in which i have certain purchasers defined as purchasing groups in my organizational structure. However, these purchasing groups perform sourcing transactions (e.g., bid invitation, auction) for multiple purchasing organizations. In the organizational structure, these purchasing groups are created under an organizational unit that isn't defined as a purchasing organization. They appear "free-floating" since they are not assigned to a particular purchasing organization.
In sourcing transactions (e.g., bid invitation, auction), the list of purchasing groups from which I can choose from depends on the purchasing organization I select. Is there a way to include the "free floating" purchasing groups in the drop-down list?
Thanks and regards,
Joy

Hi Joy,
Its difficult to have a P.Grp with out a P.Org assignment.
My idea would be:
Assign this P.Grp to one of the P.Orgs (lets say POrg1). Add the entire root as the responsibility of this P.Grp.
When the Purchasers in this P.Grp create a Bid Invitation, the POrg1 will be defaulted always.
At the time of saving the Bid Invitation, use the "BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI" BADI to overwrite POrg1 value with any other POrg you desire.
You may test it out.
Cheers,
Akash

Assign a user ID (purchaser) to multiple position in org structure

Hello,
We have SRM ECS 5.0.
We would like that the buyers can be assigned to multiple purchasing groups in order they can view all the SC related to those purchasing groups in the Worklist of the sourcing cockpit.
Is it possible ?
I'm able to assign the user ID to several position created under the purchasing groups in the organizational structure, but then when I log on to the webUI, in the sourcing cockpit I can only see the SC from 1 purchasing group in the Worklist tab.
For example:
user buyer1 is assigned to position "purchasing group 1 position" and to "purchasing group 2 position" in the org structure.
First he was created under "purchasing group 1 position", then I added the user to the position "purchasing group 2 position".
When I log on to the system with this user, in the sourcing cockpit, in the worklist tab, I can only see SC for purchasing group 1.
Thanks for your help.
Marc

Hi Marc,
SRM does not allow one particular purchaser assigned to multiple purchasing groups at the same time. It is like you cannot ride two horses at the same time.
However, you can follow the below workaround if you want a particular purchaser to do buying for multiple purchase organizations.
first, let assign the buyer 1 to purchasing group 1 (which is inturn assigned to purchase organization 1). Now, in order to enable the buyer to do purchasing for purchasing group 2 (which is inturn assigned to Purchasing organization 2) and purchasing group 3 (which is in turn assigned to Purchasing Orgaization 3), you can follow the below steps:
1. Go to the responsibilities tab of the purchasing group 1.
2. Assign the purchasing organization 1 first in the org unit table.
3. Then, assign the purchasing orgaization 2 and and 3 in the org unit tab.
Now, the purchaser will be able to see shopping cart or purchase order for his own Purchase organization as well as purchase org 2 and 3.
I hope, it helps you to meet the requirement.
Thanks and regards,
Ranjan

How do I assign a user ID to the purchasing group so it shows up on table..

How do I assign a user ID to the purchasing group so it shows up on table T024? I'm trying to create a STO but am recieving the following error
Configuration of User ID is not set up in purchasing group T024 table
    Message no. 00398
Diagnosis
    Placeholder for batch input error text, this message is not output.
    Configuration of User ID is not set up in   purchasing group T024 table
Thanks in advance

Table T024 has no field for a user-Id in standard SAP
you can only tie a user to a purchsing group via authorization with user roles.
The message 00398 is a generic message that can be used for everything.
I guess this message is triggered in a userexit. Designed by a collegue of you.
