Hi,

The common understanding that we got is. A purchasing Group in SRM can be assigned to multiple Purch. Org . Whcih is done in the Responsibilities tab > Organizational Respinsibility .

Hello,

In SRM standard, a purchasing group can be assigned to only one puchasing organization: this is done using 'Function' tab of Organizational Unit, as you did it to define an OU as a company and to define an OU as a purchasing organization.

Hi Experts,

In SRM org structure, the Purchasing group is always assigned to Purchase Organization and it inherits the attributes from Purchase Organization in addition to the attributes defined at Purchasing group level.

To have purchasing group assigned to mutlple Purchase Organizations, We need to be able to assign the Purchasing group at company level. Is it possible in SRM?

Hi Pratap and Ranjan,

The assignment can be done using the 'Responsibilty' tab of the Purchase Group in PPOSA_BBP. Add the Company Code organization unit number or the list of purchasing Org units which you want to assign to this purchasing group.

Ensure that the Purchasing Org where the Purchasing group is directly assigned under is maintained 1st in the responsibilty list.

Hi Yatin,

I also agree. In simple terms, a purchasing group can be assigned to only one purchasing organization at one point of time. However, a purchasing group can also do buying for other purchasing organizations if you define them in the responsibilites tab of the purchasing group.

This means that the Organizational Resposibility that is being defined in the Responsibilities Tab comprises of Purchasing Organization and not the Organization units.. right? or does it comprise of both Purchasing Org's and also other Org Units?
