Hi

We can have explicit assignment of purchasers to multiple purchasing groups.

For object type S (position) and infotype 1001, change the value of subtype A491 to 3 in table T77AR (time constraints) in SRM.

Hi Reddy,

Thanks a lot.

I checked but some problems occurred, when I tried to insert a record as:

Object *

Infortype: 1001

Subtype: A491

Time Constraint: 3

The following error occurred:

-

---

Choose the key from the allowed namespace

Message no. SV019

Diagnosis

You have attempted to create an entry and have used a key which is not in your namespace.

This can cause problems in later upgrades because the entry could be overwritten by an import, or overwrite an existing entry.

Procedure

Check your entry and try to enter a key value from your namespace.

You can display the namespace definition with RDDKOR54.

If you must use the key entered, document your change so that it can be repeated after an upgrade or release change if necessary. If you put the data in a change request, you can export it before an upgrade or release change, and import it again afterwards.

But the prolem is, I could see A491 via the drill-down list, kindly please guide.

Thanks a lot

Hi

Object *

Infortype: 1001

Subtype: A491

Time Constraint: 3

For the above, change the time constraint from existing entry 2 to 3.

Do not insert a new entry.

Hello Reddy.

A follow-up question.

With this change, a single user should be able to occupy 2 separate positions within the Organization Structure, under 2 Purchasing Groups. Is that correct?

If so, then can they belong to 2 separate Purchasing Organizations. Have u tested that.

Appreciate if u have already tested and it works.

Thanks.
