A purchasing group under multiple pur. orgs.

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have a requirement concerning purchasing groups in different purchasing organizations. I would like to have same purchasing groups under multiple pur. orgs.

PORG ABCD

- PGRP 1

- PGRP 2

PORG WFGH

- PGRP 1

- PGRP 2

I know SRM does not allow this. Is there a way to get this working?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

The Purchasing group and Purchasing Org. determination goes this way :

1. First the tree hierachy from the user position is taken.

2. From the hierarchy, the Purchasing Org, Purchasing Group and

Company is filtered.

3. Find the Purchasing Groups which are responsible for the selected

/filtered Purchasing Org and Company.

4. Out of these Purchasing Groups find out which has Product

categories for the specfied backend system.

Next the purchasing groups responsible for the backend sys/ local

logical system is checked.

The purchasing groups are : (You can check this HRV5500A table for

subtype - 0300 , plan version - 01 and backend system - )

This is the standard way of determining default purchasing group and

purchasing organization.

The standard determination can be overwritten by the BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND.

If you want to change the purchasing group and purchasing org, kindly

implement the BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND.

A Purch Grp can exist under a Purch org and be responsible for users

under other purchasing orgs.

This is the purpose of the 'Responsibilites' tab. Under the

responsibilities tab for Purch grp you can set

the Org Ids of the Purch orgs.

This would then mean that this grp is responsible for all of the

users existing under those Orgs.

I hope this helps answer your query

Kind Regards,

Edel.

Hi,

There is another way around have one pur org and pur grp. The users can serve in different pur group they can be held responsible via tcode pp01. Explore that option it may work out.
