Dear Masters,

We are using the Classic scenario with SRM 7.01 and ECC 6.

We are working in ECC with 2 company codes (we are supposed to grow to 6).

We have created 2 Company codes and purchase organizations and connected them to the R3 (at the SRM function tab).

when I create sopping cart, I have to choose the correct company code and proper purchase group. I have to duplicate all purchase groups because they ate related  to both purchase organizations.

Our question is: is there any way for all users to create SC with one of the company codes and choose purchase group from one list that connects to all purchase organizations?

for example:

Company Code A

purchase organization X

Company Code B

purchase organization Y

purchase groups 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (connected to purchase organizations X and Y)

Thanks,

Yaron

Hi, I have the same issue last year and rise a message to SAP , they answer the following text:

"The concept of organizational assignment in standard SRM allow s to

create purchasing groups under purchasing organization.

This is a strict boundary, which can not be broken.

For example: P.Org A has POrg Z has

-PGrp B -PGrp X

-PGrp C -PGrp Y

By creating any document in SRM the corresponding purchasing org. and

group combination is assigned, like POrg A and PGrp B. But it is not

possible to assign PGrp B and POrg Z to the document.

Also to clarify, assigning the organizational responsibility to a

purchasing group does not mean, that for any org, all the groups w ill

be selectable."

and send me this link:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/b2/afe438b572b407e10000000a114084/frameset.htm

It means that even if you use the "responsability tab" functionality, when you select the Purchasing Group, the Purchasing Organization will be updated to the one that the Purchasing Group belongs to. 

my suggestion is to discuss the model with your customer and find a Org. Plan that fits SRM standard.

Regards,

Celeste

Hi Yaron

I think you should use the "Responsibility" tab for your purchasing group (org.unit with function P.Group).

Hope that helps.

I don't think it is possible to attach one purchasing group to all purchasing organization in different company codes. The logic is same as in ECC system.
