Is Purchaser of in Org Structure

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Has anyone used the "Is Purchaser of" functionality available for the organization structrure PPOMA_BBP.

It has been available since release 5.0, but i've not known how that actually works.

Info about it exists in the very bottom of the following HELP URL.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/2c/867d3ca2156c6ae10000000a114084/content.htm

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Sunny,

In order to view the "Purchaser Assignments" structure, goto the bottom

left hand pane in ppoma_bbp, where you see a list of all of your Orgs.

Right click on a PGROUP and you will see in the menu, "Purchaser

Assingment".

Select this and you will see that the right hand pane changes from

"Staff assignments" to "Purchaser assingments".

You can maintain a user "linkage" to the PGROUP here without having to

change the organization of your users in the Staff assingments structure.

Kind regards,

Thanks Satish and Siobhan.

I tried the same thing, however, this still does not all the one Buyer to be able to be "Is Purchaser of" for 2 different Organizations.

For Exmple:

POrg 100

POrg 200

Shared Service Org

- Buyer A

Now Buyer A needs to be purchaser for POrg 100 and 200 for Office Supplies. So via "Is Purchaser Of" we try to get that relationship but it seems to only allow for 1 Org. If i try for the 2nd org, the system automatically removes the relationship from the 1st org.

Any inputs appreciated.

Hi,

When you display the purchaser assignments, you should see the pgrp in the top right hand pane. If you right click on this pgrp and then select Create, a new position will be created for you. You need to do this for each purchasing group.

Yes this functionality is in SRM org structure, you need to go to "Purchaser Assignment " view then you can assign the specific purchaser for that organisation.

Hello Padhi

I would appreciate if you can help review my understanding below.

So if I I've 2 different Organization Units flagged as purchasing orgs in Function Tab. (Object "O").

> I select the Org Unit which is flagged as Purchasing Organization.

> Then Click on "Purchaser Assignment"

> Now on the Find frame (on left) - search for the purchasing buyer that i 'd like to assign to this Purchasing Org.

> Select that Buyer Position and drop on the Purchasing Org in the "Purchasing Assignment" section.

Please advice if this is the correct path u were refering to in ur last post.

Regards,

Sunny
