REQUESTER Goods recipient

Example value: See definition Indicates the organizational units or users for which this employee can create shopping carts, and so on.

A user can select all users in an organizational unit as alternative goods recipients if the attribute is maintained with the following entry, for example: O 50000019.

If a specific user is to be selected as alternative goods recipient, the attribute needs to be maintained as follows: <US><User ID of alternative goods recipient>, for example USMANAGER22.

Hi

As of SRM5.0 substitution for purchasing activities is not available (only for approvals). You will have to assign a central goods recipient role to the other user. FYI, in SRM7.0 concept of team purchasing is introduced for similar purpose.
