Repeated purchasing groups across purchasing org

Hi there,
My client's setup requires the same set of purchasing groups across purchasing organizations. For example:
Purchasing Org 1:
PGRP1: SM1
PGRP2: SM2
Purchasing Org 2:
PGRP1: SM1
PGRP2: SM2
Reason being this is how it is setup in our R/3 system where all organization shares the same purchasing group.
How can I configure this in SRM?

Yes.
But, for one purchasing organization in SRM, you can have several purchasing groups (and not the reverse)

Purchasing Group in Purchase Info Record

Hello Gurus,
The Purchasing Group in Purchasing Info Record is not read at Purchase Requisitions...
My operation is as below;
1. Create Purchasing Requisitions via MRP
2. Assign Fixed Vendor at MD57 or via Source List ( when source list, Fixed Vendor will be assigned at MRP)
3. Vendor and sometimes Purchase info rec # are assigned to Purchase Requirement
But Purchasing Group is not assigned to Purchase Requisition.
I understood that Price is not assigned at Purchase Requisitions, but nor Purchasing Group is not assigned although it is mandatory field in Purchase Info Record at SAP standard..
Would you tell me how to read Purchasing Group from Purchasing Info Records into Purchase Requisitions?
Best Regards,
AK

Hello,
Hm, now it is like this;
- Actually, One Purchase Organization is fixed for the Plant
- But since we use the same purchase organization, the organization customization was set as below;
    -- Purchase Organization- Company Code: Blank for the Purchase Organization
    -- Plant - Purchase Organization: one Purchase Organization is set for all the Plants
    -- Plant - default Purchase Organization: blank since this seems to be effective only for consignment etc
-> And the PR which was created via MRP, there is no Purchase Organization assigned....
I do not know why...we have Plant in the PR but blank for Purchase Organization..
And it seems that, if I could assign purchase organization to PR via MRP, Purchase Group should be read into PR..

Puroduct Category, Object Id, Purchase Group Tables of Org Structure

Hi Experts,
We have so 1000s of Purchase Group and Hundreds of Product Category and so many Organization units. We want to know who is responsible buyer(s) for a particular Product Category and Object Id. 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.
Thanks in Advance

Default Purchasing Group in Purchase Order from user parameters of an user

Hi Team,
I have an issue in defaulting the Purchasing Group in PO.
The Purchase Order is capturing the Purchasing Group of the Contract when the PO is created with reference to a Purchase Requisition which in turn is created with reference to a contract.
The Customer says he has default Purchasing Group in his user profile - parameter tab which would always overwrite any other Purchasing Group. But now, he is getting the Purchasing Group of the contract in the Purchase Order.
Team,
Request you to post your comments/ suggestions for this.

Dear,
System is behaving in the correct manner..
If at all P GRP is maintained in contract....It will be defaulted in the PO.
If there is no P grp data in the ref doc, then system will check the default parameters maintained in the User profiles.

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.

Assigning Purchase groups to plants or Purchase Org

Hi
Can the purchase groups be assigned to plants or purchase organisation? Or we can use the authorisation managment to restrict the user of one group in one plant to use purchase group of another plant?
Regards

Hi,
You can not link Purchase Groups directly to Plant or Purchase Org.
You can use following authorisation objects to restrict the Purchase Groups;
M_BANF_EKG - Purchasing Group in Purchase Requisition
M_ANFR_EKG - Purchasing Group in RFQ
M_BEST_EKG - Purchasing Group in Purchase Order
M_RAHM_EKG - Purchasing Group in Outline Agreement

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.
tanks,
Dawn Domina

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

Did you maintain Purch Group's Responsibility tab with Org ID of the user Org and responsible Prod categories.
Then this Purch grp will be picked up when user from that org unit is created the SC.

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.

Restricting MIGO by Purchasing Group

Has anyone tried and found a way to restrict MIGO to particular purchasing group. There appears to be a opportunity to leverage M_BEST_EKO however efforts thus far have not provided the desired results
Regards,
Eric

Hi,
You need to turn on the check proposal of the below objects in SU24 as YES to get them in Profile generator so that you can maintain the values for Purch. Grp.
M_ANFR_EKG Purchasing Group in RFQ
M_BEST_EKG Purchasing Group in Purchase Order
M_BEST_EKO is for Purch. Org. and not for Purch Group.

Shopping cart Purchasing group determination

Hi All,
I have created Org structure like this
Backend pur.organsiation> purchasing group(Back end)>buyer1
department1-->user1
Buyer1 is responsible for department1
When user1 is creating shopping cart , I found in shopping cart purchasing group field is not showing.
Later I have created Local pur org and Local Purchasing group and Buyer4 assigned to it.
When I create a SC , now purchasing group field is showing with only one buyer i.e Buyer4.
we are on SRM 7 EHP1 and Extended classic scenario.
Is this standard behaviour that SC only shows Purchasing groups of local Purchase org.
Thanks
Abdul Raheem

Hi Nikhil,
I can see buyers for local purchasing group only, not the Back end purchasing group buyers.
For back end purchasing group I have kept in function tab a check box as purchasing group, and purchasing group number refering to back end system

Related to purchasing group

hi all,
how we create a purchasing group and what we have to define in purchasing group and also please tell me what is the relation between purchasing group and purchasing organization............

Hello Vinil,
To create a purchase group pls follow the path:
In Display IMG -> MM -> Purchasing ->
Create purchase groups
click on it, and to create you have to go for New Entries
And give the details like (3 char sap code) name, contact information such as phone, extension no, fax, email, etc
Purchase group is a person or group of persons responsible for procurement activities such as dealing with vendors /suppliers for purchasing of different materials or services and also they do the followup with the vendor (once PO is released to the concerned vendor) to get the goods as per the delivery date to the plant.
And Purchase Organization is bunch of Purchase groups and Purchase manger will be heading to it. And the main responsiblity is to do Price Negotiations and finalization of the vendor and issue of PO to vendor all those things are handled by the Purchase organization.
Purchase groups are the part of Purchase organization. In a purchase organization you can have any number of purchase groups, like you can keep them product wise or material or service procurement wise, inorder to simplyfy the procurement process.
In SAP, if you speak, there is no direct relation between P.Groups and P.Org. Because P.Group is an Independent Entity which is No where assigned it in SAP. Whereas the plant is assigned to P.Org.
And also you can see the relation between these two is only at the time of creation of PO, where you can assign the P.Group and P.Org. in the Org.Data (i.e, Header Details of PO creation Screen: ME21N)
Hope it is clear,
Rewards, if it helps,
Regards,
Srin.K
