A purchase order needs to be created, and the vendor is known
Business Process Description Overview
A purchase order is a legal document issued by the buyer to the vendor to supply materials or service at the agreed price, terms and conditions. The Purchase Order forms the basis for all follow-on activities like Goods Receipt, Invoice Verification, etc. The Purchase Orders can be created directly by entering all the required data, copying already created purchase order, with reference to an RFQ/Contract or with reference to a PR.
Purchase Order creation is possible only if sufficient budget allocation is there for the Fund Centers. It is not possible to create Purchase Orders for a Vendor who is blocked for procurement or not maintained in source list for that item. Also it is not possible to create PO for Quantity more than the PR quantity.
All the price components which are to be paid to vendors and requires to be inventoried has to be included in PO.It is possible to add different vendors for delivery costs. The tax codes should be correctly maintained in PO for the purpose of Cenvat availment etc.
The payment term defaulted from Vendor Master or RFQ has to be verified and changed if required.
The incomplete Purchase Orders can be saved as HOLD document and later completed and saved thru Change PO menu

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

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

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,

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.

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.

for the material master you can only come to no which purchase grup has been assigned to the material ..this is important because tracking of materials at inventory level is done...
go to se16 put marc...you will come to know how many materials have been maintained...
you can also create a z report ...we have a report ..."zmb5l' in which we check the inventory according to purchase group...this is taken all from material master...

Escape Release strategy based on purchasing group

Dear Experts,
In our system, PO release strategy is set up,
But, some of the POs are not subjected to release strategy because they belong to a perticular Purhasing Group (P01).
Where this set up is done?
Regards,
Shashidhar

Hi Shashidhar,
In your system it seems there is a characteristic created for Purchasing Group, if you want it activated for a particular Purch Group, then please do the following
Determine the strategy that you want to be called ( You can see any existing PO to find it out), once done, you need to identify the characteristics and class
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Purchase order-release strategy, define release strategy, select your strategy and go to details and click on classification, in case you get an error and not able to, click on release pre requisites, come back and then try again, in classification you will get to see the various characteristics maintained and also the class name at the top.
Once you have done that, please go back to the node Edit Class, please put the class that you obtained earlier and get the characteristics for Purchasing Group.
Then go to the node Edit Characteristic, put your characteristic name say PO_RELEASE_EKGRP, Click on the tab values, and add your Purchasing group here and save it.
Then go to transaction CL24N, provide the class, and select the release strategy you are interested in, and select change, and detail, there for the characteristic for Purchasing group, you can add the previously added Group, and you are good to go.
Please let me know if this helps.
Regards
Shailesh
