Hi Diego,

It is possible to assign a purchaser to 2 purchasing groups. From SRM 5.0, SAP gave this as standard. This is caled explicit asignment of purchaser. Howeve, there is a limitation I understod that if we try to assign the same purchaser to more than 2 purchasing groups, the last explicit assignment gets removed and retaining the new one.

Exaple:

Puchaser A is in the purchasing grup ABC (Position tied to the org unit of ABC)

Expliit assignment of the pushaser A to the purch group BCD (explicit assignment 1)

Then, another explicit assignment of the same purchaser A to the purchasing group CDE (assignment 2)

After save, you can see only two assignments i.e. with ABC and CDE.

I am not sure whether this is standard SAP limitation or it is a bug.

Hope this helps.
