Vendor group in SRM

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

From SRM 5.0, vendor groups have been added to SRM.

What is exactly the purpose of vendor groups in SRM ?

How does it relate to the organisational structure in SRM ?

Thanks !

Hi

<b>For 1)</b>

IN SRM 5.0 the vendor groups are created with the transaction PPOCV_BBP and maintenance is done thru PPOMV_BBP

then speicfying this Object id of vendor group u need to replicate the vendors from R/3 thru transaction code "BBPGETVD"

Do you mean vendor group in the traditional erp sense of partner functions (order from, pay to etc.)? Or do you mean how do you goup a set of vendors as preferred vendors for a single or set of product categories or products?

First assign to Your user SAP_EC_BBP_OP_PURCHASER role.

Login to system via EP or ITS.

Select tree SRM Operational Purchaser -> Business Partner -> Process Vendor List

in table enter Your purchasing organisation, product category or product ID and click 'create'

<u>Please go through the links below -></u>

IN SRM 5.0 the vendor groups are created with the transaction PPOCV_BBP and maintenance is done thru PPOMV_BBP
