HI,

pur group may not be known to requisitoner , so logically , u can make it optional in PR.

in PO , even we can make optional but,

majorly for reporting purpose.

we can get a report ( list of PO s )based on the pur group.

helpful in incentives .

we can make the pur group responsible if any discrepencies in purchsing.

we can trigger workfow based on the pur group ( if required ).

to make it optional for PR,

SPRO-MM-purchasing-pur req-define document types.

for ur document type pick the field selection key.

SPRO-MM-purchasing-pur req-define screen layout at doc level.

for ur field sel key in - basic data make the pur group as optional

Dear,

It is depend on your configuration of purchase requisition.

Purchasing group is use for report base only.

You can set required or optional field for purchasing group in purchase requisition with OMF2.

Dear,

Ignore this.

Use Path: -

SPRO >> Materials Management >> Purchasing >> Purchase Requisition >> Define Screen Layout at Document Level.

Select ME51N t-code, Double click on Basic Data, Item.

Here make optional for purchasing gorup.

Hello

Yes Pr. grp is mandatory in PR.

Purchase group is a person or a group of person in your purchasing department who are responsible for the procurement activities in your business.

The purchase requisition is the internal document created by the user departments saying their requirements ie what material, in what quantity and by which date and where.

And since it is an internal document you dont have the purchasing organization name in the PR and so when the document goes for the procurement procedure it should be mentioned that who is the person who is supposed to do the required.

Hope it is helpful

Purchasing Group will appear in Item Level in Purchase Requisitions and the Same can be set to Optional in SPRO.

Where as Purchasing Group will appear in Header Level in Purchase Orders and it is Mandatory.

HI,

The PR /PO being a purchasing document the P.group is a mansdatory field at the header level. It represents the group of the Buyers which actually carries out the procurement activities/negotiations etc in the Organisation.

Hope it helps.
