Repeated purchasing groups across purchasing org

[Former Member]

Hi there,

My client's setup requires the same set of purchasing groups across purchasing organizations. For example:

Purchasing Org 1:

PGRP1: SM1

PGRP2: SM2

Purchasing Org 2:

PGRP1: SM1

PGRP2: SM2

Reason being this is how it is setup in our R/3 system where all organization shares the same purchasing group.

How can I configure this in SRM?

Hi Laurent,

Thank you for pointing me to the thread. It is very helpful. Before I convery this solution to my technical team, can I clarify the following with you?

1. Does it mean that I only assign 1 porg to 1 pgrp like below?

Porg 0001

Pgrp SM1

Porg 0002

Pgrp SM2

2. Then we are to amend the BADI to assign these pgroups across porgs

3. and finally we maintain message BBP_PD 019 for all documents to disable the error message

Am I getting the concept right? Do correct me.

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

But, for one purchasing organization in SRM, you can have several purchasing groups (and not the reverse)

Yes.

Not sure it is mandatory for confirmaton and invoice. Check by doing a complete purchasing flow.

Hi all,

We have tried the following:

POrg 0001:

PGrp SM1

PGrp SM2

POrg 0002:

PGrp MM1 (assigned responsibility to 0001)

Pgrp MM2 (assigned responsibility to 0001)

However, MM1 and MM2 is not appearing when we tried to create document for 0001.

I got to know that there are some BADI that can be implemented to have repeated pgroups for different purchasing org. Anyone can shed some light on this or with similar requirements before?

Please help!!

Check below thread:

Hi

Hopr you distributed to only Purchase organisation or Purchase Organisation / Plant only right?

what you are expecting in ECC contract after you distribute GOA from SRM.

As you aware there is no relation between Purchase org and Purchase group in ECC as exists in SRM.

for eg.

PG1 - Purchase Group assigned to B111 Purchase organisation.

for eg PG1 which is mentioned in GOA available in the ECC contract.

PO - b111

Pg as a PG1.

Hi Dinesh,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Ok, from SRM, GOA are pushed back into R/3 and OAs are created.

With your solution, does it mean that we are mapping different pgrp in SRM to the same responsibility of the same pgrp in R/3?

For example:

SRM

OA 1 (Pgrp SM1, Porg 0001)

OA 2 (Pgrp TM2, Porg 0002)

when pushed back...

R/3

OA 1 (Pgrp SM1, Porg 0001)

OA 2 (Pgrp SM1, Porg 0002)

Can this be achived?

[Former Member]

linking two diff (pgrp)org levels in SRM to the same purchasing group in R/3 will not be possible.

What you can do is that

Purchasing Org 1:

PGRP1: SM1

PGRP2: SM2

Purchasing Org 2:

PGRP3: SM3

PGRP4: SM4

and give responcibility to PGRP3& PGRP4 same as PGRP1&PGRP2

in SRM org structure.

This should meet yr purpose.
