Organizational Responsibility in SRM 7.02

[Former Member]

Can someone please tell me what the purpose of the Responsibility tab in the SRM 7.02 Organizational Structure? Should the Responsibility tab in SRM 7.02 be used to restrict the Purchasing Group of a Shopping Cart creator?

Hi,

==============

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

under other purchasing orgs. This is the purpose of the

'Responsibilities' tab in PPOMA_BBP.

==============

You may find the details of it in the following link:

Hi Amy,

Responsibility tab in Pr Grp is used to restricy the Purchasing group (Purchasers) responsibility in terms of Product category and Organisational elements.

A Pr Grp can be responsible for many organisation and can be applicable for many product categories.

HI Amy ,

Basically in SRM we cannot achieve the central purchase orgainzation like MM. But, you can follow a kind of workaround as below.

Say, You have two purchase orgainzations 1 and 2 under company A.

Similarly, Another company B has purchase organization 3.Now, you can make purchase orgainzation 3 responsible for purchase organization 1 and 2 as well.

How to achieve that:

Create a purchasing group under Purchase Organization 3 and assign the org units for purchase orgainzation 1 and 2 as well in the responsibilities tab. In this way, the buyers of the purchasing group can do buying for Purchasing org 1 and 2 as well.

Hi Vinita,

I guess you were talking about cross company purchasing scenario if I am not wrong
