Rules for population of Purchasing Group in PR/PO

Hi,
Can someone please clear up the rules on how standard SAP works in terms of the purchasing group field in either a PR/PO.
In short, a material master exists and a PIR. When the PR is created the purchasing group is populated from the material master and not the PIR, is this correct?
When the PO is created w.r.t the PR, the purchasing group is copied from the PR and not the PIR, is this correct?
Simply I want the purchasing group to be taken from the PIR and not the material master, any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi
You can not do this with configuration.You have to go for Userexit only where you can build up logic check the allowed item categories and accont assignments for a mateial group.You can maintain a Z- table where you can make entries of Material group and Account assignment/Item categories.

  • WRP1 - different PO for same vendor/Purchase group/center

    Hi Guys,
    I am facing an issue in a client like these:
    We are running the WRP1 and it is creating multiple purchase orders for the same combination: vendor/Purchase grup/center.
    It should generate 1 PO per combination mentioned.
    I found the note 418700, but i don´t think that apply to my situation.
    Thanks,
    Paulo

    Hi Paulo,
    as far as I know, WRP1 is splitting follow on documents by vendor/vendor-subrange
    number/purchasing org/puchasing group.
    Do your articles in the POs you mentioned do have different vendor-subranges? If so, you can have a look at EXIT_SAPLWVFB_002 to deactivate this.

  • Derivation rule for Product from Material Group

    Dear All,
    Is it possible derive product from Material Group. The scenario is as below.
    We executed KE30 report (Classic Drill down) for Product, the we are able to see the profitability for different products, when we click on the list button (Find button) againist the product at the bottom we found not assigned, we selected that and we found there are some un assigned amounts (without product). when we see the line items for the same the line items are coming with out product ( product field is emply)
    Another observation is we created profitability assessment cycle (KEU5) in which cost center is the sender and material group is the receiver. when we run this cycle system is not distibuting the costs to the products, in the sender and receiver its executed with zero values.
    In derivation rule KEDR we gave the logic to derive product from material group.
    please guide the way which we are following is correct or not. can we derive product from material group.
    Thanks,
    Siva Reddy.S

    Hi
    Yes you can derive using "Derivation" method in KEDR and maintain a mapping of Mat Grp to Product... But that is not the right way
    You need to find out why some lines are posted w/o products.. They can be genuine cases....
    Also for assessment, either specify the Product as receiver or run KE28 Top Down Dist in order to allocate values from Mat group to Products..... Deriving Product from Mat group does not seem to be the nice way

    In App-V 5.0 the Management and Publishing Servers are hosted in IIS, so use the same approach for HA as you would any web application.
    If NLB is all that's available to you, then use that; otherwise I would recommend a proper load balancing solution such as Citrix NetScaler or KEMP LoadManager.

  • 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 Groups for multiple Purchase Organizations

    Dear all,

  • Workflow for PR release for multiple purchasing groups

    Hi Guru,
    We have multiple purchasing groups and want to send emails to the responsible person for PR release for their own purchasing groups.  In the standard SAP pr release work flow configure, there is no place to specify purchasing groups.  Do you have any recommendation?  If we need ABAP development, do you know the user exit that we need to modify?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi
    Define the release codes for each person heading a department (purchasing group) and assign the work flow for concerned person. When ever you create PR, depending on purchasing group work flow will be triggered. Assign the release code and release group authorization to particular person's profile in PFCG. Then he can be able to release PR.
    Thanks

  • Purchasing group list for company code

    Hi,
    I s there any way to find out list of Purchasing groups maintained for particular company code..
    rgrds....

    Organizational Structure: Purchasing Group Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
    Definition
    A purchasing group corresponds to a buyer or group of buyers who perform the following purchasing activities:
    Procuring certain articles or merchandise categories
    Acting as the contact for vendors
    Use
    Purchasing groups can function strategically, operationally, or both.
    The main strategic function of a purchasing group in SAP Retail is to maintain its master data and control data. This includes defining outline agreements and volume rebate arrangements for Purchasing, for example.
    The purchasing group is also responsible for the day-to-day planning of requirements and ordering of merchandise.This includes creating purchase orders, allocation tables and promotions. It can also send vendors requests for quotation or create purchase requisitions.
    Integration
    Purchasing groups are assigned to the purchasing areas. They are not data retention levels; they are used as a selection criterion, as a level at which analyses can take place in the Information System and at which authorizations can be stored.
    In the individual purchasing operations you are mostly required to enter a purchasing group and a purchasing organization. It is not possible to define an explicit link in the system between these two organizational units.
    Every stock planner is assigned to a purchasing group. You make the assignment in the user master.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Purchasing Group control - PO and PR - Best Practices?

    Hi experts,
      My client need to implement in the same plant, purchasing group for POs and indirect PRs.
      They currently have around 5-6 plants in Asia and the design is to group the purchasing group for the plant at the prefix level. Example A01 to AZZ for plant in Thailand, B01 to BZZ for plant in China.
       Thus we will have situation of A01, A02, A03 created for buyers and A04, A05 created for department to raise indirect PR.
       But the requirement is that the buyer should not use the purchasing group from the department (A04, A05) to create PO. Other than hard-coding the A01, A02 and A03 to the role to be given to the buyer, for Best practice, how should the purchasing groups be design in such situations?

    Hi Ravi,
              Thanks for your respond.
               My client won't have issue of buyer buying for other plants as the buyers are local buyers situated at the plant. They don't have a centralized purchasing team that purchased for mor than 1 plant.
                When you say purchasing group are added to the role, I presume you mean that buyer only have authorizaton for their own purchasing group? That mean buyer A01 only have authorization for A01 and nothing else?
                 When it come to maintenance, won't this be tough? In addition, buyers will not be able to back up each other of the same plant when anyone goes on leave. Our current plan is to give A* for buyers in Thailand plant. But that also mean I might have the prob of direct buyers accidentally using department purchasing group to create PO.

  • Good news - find purchasing group in Extended classic

    Hello All,
    This is not a question. Just FYI.
    From SRM50 SP5, you do not need to program the BADI to find purchasing group in Extended Classic. Please cheek the note 944918 ECS: Find back end purchasing group as a responsible.
    Regards,
    Masa

    Hi,
       The link in my  previous reply refers to the use of BADI for changing the purchasing group in the SC to the correct value which is maintained in the SRM org Structure after the requirements are transferred  from R/3 to SRM.
      However in case of ECS(Extended classic scenario),w/o using the BADI you can ensure that the system always searches for a back-end purchasing group when determining the responsible purchasing group, that is, a purchasing group for which a relationship to a purchasing group was defined in the back-end system in the SRM organization management,details of which are given in the note 944918
