Workload Redistribution not chaning purchase group

Dear SRM Experts,
We are running SRM 5.5 If you run the manual workload restribution, the system responds back and says "update completed successfully". Howerver, when you look at the shopping cart it is not changing the purchasing group to the new one (i.e it is not performing the redstribution despite the system reporting back that it has done it. What could be the cause of this?
Kind regards
Pedzi Mutapiri

Hello Pedzi,
Your issue can be raised due refresh problems. Check note 1493400 (WKL: No refresh of the document list after redistribution).
If this note can not help you, please also take a look on the following note:
1294817 - Warning message when no organization data is entered in WKL.
This one is about any warning message be raised if the purchasing fields weren't entered.

Organization O 50000716 is not a purchasing group; inform system administra

Dear Expert,
Need your help, we using SRM 7 with extended classic scenario, we use workflow for PO with 3 levelling (if the value of po more than 200 million Rp). now, there is no problem when we approve this po for approver 1 and approver 2. but when the approver 3 want to approve this PO, these error show up:
Organization O 50000716 is not a purchasing group; inform system administration ( i actually have assign a purchasing group in function tab for this organizational unit )
System of purchasing organization O 50000658 and purchasing group O 50000716 differ (there is a different with the company code for O 50000658 (cc:1000) & O 50000716 (cc:1100)) but i'm not sure this is the cause.
best regards,
Melynessa

Hi Melynessa
Did you maintained a purchasing organization for the approver 3? A purchasing group and a purchasing organization are needed.
Try to compara the information of approver 1 and 2 with approver 3 (PPOMA_BBP, SU01, etc).
I hope this helps.

Purchasing Group in equipment BOM ( Item level)

At the time of creating equipment BOM , purchasing group in equipment BOM (item level ) will be in sync with material master purchasing data.
When we change purchasing data (Purchasing group) in material master at that time system will not change purchasing group in old equipment BOM's at item level. Is there any standard method to maintain purchasing group in old equipment BOM in sync with purchasing group in material master data (System ECC 6.0 ehp5)
Thanks and Regards,
Pankaj

Thanks for reply Peter ,
Because of this issue wrong information is flowing to PR (when component selected from equipment BOM in work order).
Is there any negative impact if I will remove purchasing group at BOM item level ?
I did analysis for this and found no negative impact on PR , still looking for expert advice as client is not looking for any core modification.
Thanks and Regards,

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

Purchasing group determination in Shopping cart

Hi All,
when I am creating Shopping cart and choose Free Text Describe what you want and then I find that Purchasing group filed at item data tab is not available.
But when I am selecting select goods/service and choose Product Id then shopping cart is determining back end purchasing group and purchasing group field is shown at Item data tab.
why SC is not showing Purchasing group field for free text items.
Can any one has this similar issue in your system.
I am on SRM7.01 Extended classic scenario.
Abdul Raheem

Hi Nikhil,
If I choose the one material for the same product category in SC , it is picking back end purchasing group.
But If i am choosing free text item and selects the same product category , Purchasing group field, it self is not showing in SC.
I wonder, if I create a Local purchase group, and create a free Text SC for the same product categoy, it is picking local Purchaing group.

Multiple Purchasing Groups to One Person

Hi Experts,
We are running SRM5.0 Classic Scenario. I need to have a User to select any purchasing group in a selection. Org.Structre example:
Root Node org unit
Company org unit
Purchasing Org ( R/3 P.org)
R/3 Purchasing Groups org unit
Regions org unit
Note: 1.Purchasing Groups are added under the R/3 Purchasing Groups org unit with Organizational Responsibility without entries. The Product Responsibility Tab has all R/3 products entries. Responsibilty is maintained at the P.Group Level.
2. The Region becomes the Org. Unit and will have a region name under as a Branch Org, and the Department Org unit under the Branch. Users are added under the Department Org Unit.These org units do not have Responsibility.
How do I make the User to select any P.Group and Use it. I managed to have the User to select all these P.Groups when creating a shopping under the Extended Details tab, but the P.Group does not get selected, instead a P.Group on top of the list gets selected and used for SC creation.
Please HELP..!!!

Hello,
The default settings value for Purchasing group works in the following
way : the correct purchasing group is determined on the basis of the
product category. And this information you can find out in the
organizational responsibilty in the PPOMA_BBP
( i.e. which purchasing organizations can potentially procure for the
department user). Also in the product responsibility we maintain which
product category(s) the purchasing organization is responsible. And if
system finds several purchasing groups that are responsible for the same
department and the same product category it will take the first one in
the table. You can confirm this behavior by changing the product
category in the default setting and you will see that it automatically
adjust the correct purchaing groups.
I hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,

Purchasing Group in external requirement

Hi experts
I Have a business requirement that the purchasing group assigned in external requirement must be backend and not SRM purchasing group, when we use BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI or BBP_PGRP_FIND the purchasing group assigned the first the exists in SRM, how can I find the purchasing group that was assigned in Purchase requisition in backend ?
Thanks
Nilson

Hi,
When you transfer the PR from R/3 to SRM,by default,the Porg and Pgrp values in SC are those corresponsing to the Local Porg /Pgrp defined in the entry channel in SRM org structure.
If you need to set thecorrect values for the Porg /Pgrp for the user(as defined in SRM org structure),then implemnet the BADI "BBP_DOC_CHNAGE_BADI".Within the BADi,you can always get the PR no in the item table i.e.it_item-ext_demid will have the PR no.Then make an RFC call to R/3 to get the PR deatils like Pgrp etc.
See the foll threads for more details/sample code:

The correct purchasing group is not being determined in the SC line item

Dear all,
I have a problem in that for some reason, when a shopping text line item is added to the shopping cart, the wrong purchasing group is determined. Further more when you look in the basic data section they is a drop down against the purchasing group field listing all pruchasing groups setup in the org plan via PPOMA_BBP.
This means that the requisitioner can change the purchasing group to any one even the one that is not relevant to his or her Purchasing Organisation. This of cause is not right because if the requisitioner is allowed to change the P/Grp, the wrong buyer may end up recieving the buyer completion work item.
What is causing this?
We have uniquely assigned P/Orgs to P/Grps and assigned resposiibility of P/GRPS to one unique ORg unit (company).
for example, a suppose product Category 1234567 is assigned to P/GRP 100 & P/GRP 100 is assigned to P/ORG 1000 and the P/GRP responsibility is set to Org unit(company) 1000, The requisition "sits" under an orgunit linked to company 1000.
If a requisitioner creates a text item and assigns product category 1234567, when the item is added to the shopping cart , I expect to see that the followig:
1. The Company code(CC)should be 1000 (This is happening)
2. The P/org should be 1000(This is happending)
3. The Plant sssignment is correct
4. The p/grp is worong. It appear that the first P/Grp is assigned plus a drop down listing all p/grps created for all purchasing P/Orgs.
Regards,
Grace

Yann,
Yes , we have (need to have)set 2 purchasing groups with the responsibility of the same product category. We have to do this because in our organisation, individual company purchasing organisations have same responsibilities to purchase similar products.
Please note that we have a classic scenario implementation. SRM 4, Server 5.
The business requirement and settings in the org plan is for example:
P/Grp 100 has the reponsibility to procure Prod cats LAM001 to LAM010 via its assigned P/org 1000 which is linked to own company 1000 and P/grp 200 also has the reponsibility to procure Prod cats LAM001 to LAM010 via its assigned P/org 2000 which is linked to own company 2000.
Please note that thr buyer responsible for p/grp 100 & 200 are the same and will be the same for similar product cats across the organisation as a whole. Its just the SRM does not allow you in the orgplan to assign the same p/grp to multiple p/orgs, we had to double up on the p/grps.
Also when a requisitioner who sits under company 2000 chooses a product cat 12345 if creating a SC text line, we DO NOT WANT the requisitioner to change the assigned p/grp.We want it defaulted to 200 (based on the org plan setting I have described above) and fixed(greyedout)
when thr line item viewed in the basic data section.
Do you think that because we have set the prod cat range LAM001 to LAM010, which is an alphanumeric product cat range, that could also be the reason for the dropdown listing all orplan p/grps even ones that do not have the product cat LAM001 to LAM010 in its responsubility assignments?
If you are saying that the system does not know which p/grp to pick, why its it displaying all "unrelated" p/rps in the dropdown. I atlest expect to see two p/grps in the dropdown 100 & 200, because only these two p/grps have been set with product cat responsibility for LAM001 to LAM010 in our org plan.
Also if you are saying that is the way SRM was designed to work (which may be the case!!!) how then can we set the org plan to meet our the purchasing org/purchasing grp /prod cat responsibility requirements I have described above?

Grace

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.

Purchasing Groups values not populated in PR default settings - ME51N ??

Hi,
We have SAP R/3 MM ECC 6.0.
I want to set Purchasing Group as one of the default parameters in ME51N (Purchasing Requisition) screen.
The problem is I have selected 'Purchasing Group' as a default parameter in 'Default Values'/ 'Personal Settings' but,
the Drop-down help does not show up any values for Purchasing Group to be selected as default.
However, I can set-up 'Account assignment' & 'Item Category' as defaults and, I can choose their default values.
Therefore, in result, I do not have any Purchasing Group set as default for my PRs.
Is there a configuration setting required to populate the drop-down box of Default Settings (for purchasing group)
with Purchasing Group values? Please advise.
Could this be a bug?
Thanks,
Ruchika

Hi Karthik,
I have already done these steps.
The problem is - Purch. Group field is there in Default settings but, it doesn't show me any values to select from and
set a Default value.
None of the purchasing groups available in system are appearing here. The selection list is Blank.
Is there anything I need to do to bring the P.Group values in the drop-down selection list of Personal settings?
Thanks,
Ruchika

"Responsible Purchase Organization and Purchase Group" not appearing in Bid

Hi,
We are implementing SRM 5.0.--> Bidding Process.
Steps.
1) Creating PR in R/3 and transfered to SRM
2) Carry out sourcing and select one PR with line items and
--> Add to Work Area --> Create Bid Invitation --> Process Bid Invitation --> Change and Create -->
At this stage > Header Level> Basic Data --> we are unable to get the "Responsible Purchase Organization and Purchase Group"
We have checked all the basic settings and Org Structure.
Please help me on the same.
BR,
Vijay Mittal

Hi Vijay,
Please let us know the below mentioned points to clearly understand the issue and makes you more clear about the issue and let us help you further.
1. You could able to transfer the P.R from backend R/3 to SRM means all the settings are fine (V_T160EX & V_T160PR) and the transfer happens w.r.t P.Group.
2. In SOCO after adding the required shopping cart to Work area before creating the follow on document, check the item and header details whether it is showing the correct P.Org & P.Group or not.
3. In case the 2nd point is fine, create Bid invitation and check what is the P.Org & P.group it is taking.
Also please let us know if some BADI (either BBP_DOCCHECK_BADi or DOCCHANGE BADI) is activated which might be causing this change since you said all your settings are fine in SRM.
Also check the user assignment in Org. structure and check if this user is responsible for any other P.Group.
Hope these points will make you more clear and helps you in resolving the issue.
Also let us know about these points to help you further.

Release Strategy in PR not triggered for different Purchase Groups.

Dear Experts,
For Purchase Requistion - Header Level Release Strategy has been defined with Purchase Group as one of the Characteristics(Characteristic Values are V1, V2, V3).
When PR is created for 30Line items with V1, V2 or V3 as Purchase groups independently- Release Strategy is triggered.
But when a combination of all 3 Purchase groups is used in the same PR for 30 Line items together. No Release Strategy is Triggered. All these 3 Purchase groups have been assigned for all strategies.
Thanks & Regards
Chandan H N

You are using characteristic P. Group for different RS. That means that if only one value exists, the system will be able to understand which RS to implement. If you are using more than one values for this characteristic, the system simply does not know which RS to choose and takes nothing.
More simply you are using a header data (p. Goup) for RS and you are using it in line items. This is wrong. You have to make PR's only for the respective P. Group

Purchasing Groups not defaulting to all new line items

Hi,
We are on SRM 4.0. currently, we can only assign a user to one purchasing group.Now my problem is Purchasing Groups not defaulting to all new line items (when changed in default settings).If any one faced this problem help me out.
regards,
sobhan

Sobhan,
Depending on your material group, the purchaing group will be defaulted. According to the responsibility tab and SPRO Config define objects in the backend system, the purchaing group will default in your basic data of the shopping cart screen.
Even though in your default settings you will assign a Purchaing group, the purchasing group will be defaulyed on the basis of the above two crietrias mentioned.
Please assigbn points for usefull answer !!

Hi Hong,
The error shows that the P.Group (50000018) is not responsible for P.Org (50000019).
It shows the P.Group (5/18) is a local P.Group and is not linked to the back end (R/3) P.Group. You can check this in the Function tab of the P.Group. Also in the responsibility tab of the P.Group you should mention the responsible P.Org (Org. I.D).
After checking these settings and making the necessary changes try to create and transfer the P.R. Also ensure the queues should be clear before transferring the P.R to SRM.
Let me know the outcome for further help.
Any Claraifications are welcome.
Awad points for suitable answers.
