Users moving purchasing groups

Hello,
We have some users in our Org structure that have moved purchasing groups. It appears that when they move purchasing groups, they can no longer access their purchase orders that were previously created in their old purchasing group.
Does anyone know if this is SAP standard and how we can get the users to see their 'old' purchase orders without moving them back to their previous purchasing group? 
We are using SRM version 5.0.
Thanks in advance.
Lisa Pallas

You will have to assign the relevant security role or i think you can assign the pgrp in the respective users attribute.
I hope this helps.

  • Problems with assigning user to Purchase Group

    Hi all!
    I'm trying to set-up standard workflow WS 20000397 - Handling invoices blocked due to price.
    Somehow I left something out as nothing is sent to my inbox when a invoice is blocked.
    It starts fine but it can't find and agent when I check the log.
    I've created an org. structure with a company, that has one organizational unit under it.
    To this I've assigned a position and thereafter a user to this with my user ID.
    Then I've created an assignment in PFOM whera I assigned SO T024 001 (Purch. Group 1) to my newly created Position.
    I have found Purch group 001 using F4 so no mispellings could be the case.
    In the container I can see that it has found the correct purchasing group (001) with my created position (the S-code for the position is even shown as an agent in the container)
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Regards,

  • Purchase group restrict with doc type

    scenario is this like i want to restrict purchase grp with doc type wise, suppose i want purchase group <b>"abc"</b> should not be used in doc type "<b>FO"</b>
    then what setting should i do?

    this you can only do with the basis person who has authorisation to make changes in user t.codes.
    in t.code PFCG, give the user role for which you want to restrict this and then choose display, goto authorisation tab and click n the display authorisation data button, here at the top you can find the organiztional levels button, you can restrict the purchasing group here itself by not specifying it in the list, thus for all t.codes he will not have authorisation for this purchasing group.
    then choose the MAterials Management : Purchasing node, here choose the Document Type in Purchase Order to give the doc. types allowed to user and Purchasing Group in Purchase Order to limit the pur. groups.

    Hi all.
      We are creating purchasing group by using the FOLLWOING PATH

    Our issue is whenever new purchasing group is created I need to track this and send this new purchasing group details only to other system. Can we have some user exit we can call one RFC.
    Pls let me know. Thanks in advance.
    cheers,
    sami.

    Hi,
    You can check which BADi is getting initiated on creating new purchase order and do your coding there..
    You can search a BADi with SQl trace..

  • 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.
    Regards

  • 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.

  • Purchasing Group authorization based on the user

    Hi All,
    Can anyone suggest me ideas on how to restrict in accessing details of a PO for a  purchasing group based on the user who tries to access it .
    the object is M-BEST_EKG.
    need guidance in using AUTHORITY_CHECK in restriciting PO group based on the userid.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ry

    Hi,
    ACTIVITY controls what user can do to the PO.
    01-Create
    02-Change
    03-Display
    EKGRP controls the purchasing group
    To restrict to a specific purchasing group, modify the authorization object in the role which user has to allow the specfic P.Grp. only
    Cheers !

    Hi Roby,
    I think you can control authorization using transaction PFCG.
    refer below SAP link for details on authorization. May help you.

  • User assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups

    Dear Experts,
    My issue is related to user assignment to purchasing organisation and purchasing groups.
    According to the project requirement, we are using central purchasing organisation and we should create the purchasing organisations and purchasing groups locally. it is not reflected from the back end systems through RFC.
    Also we have one more team working with indirect materials and they also use SRM. They have already created the organisation model. Two projects are inter-related and belongs to same department in the company, but main different is one uses direct and the other in-direct materials.
    Now we should create our purchasing organisation and purchasing groups and assign the users to it.
    If we create it separately means not uder the main root and assign the users, we are able to create shopping cart till the contract. But when i create the new purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under the main root which is created for other project which deals with in-direct materails, i am not able to create shopping cart with the user. I am getting the error
    ' Process scheme could not be found
    Please let me know how to deal with this scenario. here i need to add the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups under main root because of the reason that in the other project, purchasing organisation and purchasing groups defined needs to be accessed by our users as well. I mean the users should be able to access all the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups created under root node which gets the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups from the back end systems and the purchasing organisation and purchasing groups we created manually since we cant get it from back end system since it is central purchasing organisation.
    Please asvise
    Best regards,

    Hello Masa,
    Thanks very much for your time and solution.
    Actually the problem was something else and was fixed.
    The reason for getting error 'Process schema was not yet defined' is because of missing definition of process schedma for the workflow since the process based workflow setting has been activated.
    So this has been resolved by copying the sap standard customizing BC set for SRM workflow using transaction SAPR20 and then process schema for workflow got configured or copied automatically from SAP BC set and the error was removed.
    Also the reason for error with user was that no purchaser assignment was done to the purchasing organisation and now it has been done and the users can access the SRM and create shopping cart and the contract.

    Srinath

  • In which table is the relation stored between purchasing group and user?

    it seems to be that a purchasing group is related to an user in the client system i am working for now. I cannot find these relations in HR.
    In which HRPxxxx is the relation stored? With which transaction can i change the relationship?
    thanks

    Hello Theo,
    please, clarify your problem.
    How do you know concerned user is linked to such purchasing group?
    User assignement in the organizational structure is maintained with PPOMA_BBP transaction.
    Regards.

  • All Purchasing Groups need to be visible to a user

    Hi,
    I have an instance where an employee should be able to see all purchasing groups in the organisation. At this point of time he can only see purchasing groups in his organisation unit.
    Please let me know how would it be possible to see all purchasing groups in the organisation.
    Thanks
    Sunny

    Hi Sunny,
    The available purchasing groups for the users is determined through the purch. group responsabilities.
    To have all the purch groups available for the final users, set the responsability as global for all the groups: To do so add the Org structure Highest node in the org table control in the responsibility tab, and no material group, or generic entry '*'.
    A second option is to use the BADI and add all the purch groups as possible entries.
    My advice: be carteful, that a default purch group automatically assigned to the SC item is important, because few users will change it. You have to work on that (default determination in the BADI, checks in the BADI change for the SC, ...).
    Regards.

  • PPOMA_BBP - Get purchasing group from user

    Hi experts,
    I have a Structure in which a user belong´s to multiple purchasing group´s. I need a function to return all the purchasing group´s from a given user.
    Thanks in advance
    Paulo Andrade

    Hi Pradeep,
    I tried with the function modules you say. It returned only one purchasing group, but the user is assigned to two purchasing groups in ppoma.Im using SRM2007.
    Example:
    User: TSTRFX
    Position          A10 - Impressos/economato     50,00     14.11.2008     Unlimited
    Position          A20 - Mobiliário          50,00     14.11.2008     Unlimited

  • SRM Purchasing Group by the user

    Hi,
    When the user create a SC, Purchasing group is determined by the material/product group (part of configuration).
    Can the business user choose the Purchasing group while creating a SC ( like R/3 ) ?
    If yes, how do I make it work, Please help.
    -Pranav

    Hi,
    Yes but only if your Pgroups are pointed on your user/node where your user sits.
    in that case, the drop down list in the SC will allow you to select the Pgroups.
    in other terms, if the system is not able to select a pgroup because all your pgroups are configured the same way (Prcat..), then the user is able to select one amongst all pgroups.
    Kind regards,
    Yann

  • 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
