One Purchasing Group to multiple Purchasing Org

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

The business requirement is Purchasing group P01 is responsible for multiple purchasing Org. (say PORG1 and PORG2).

Note : One company code is linked to two Purchasing Org.

All the purchasing groups are responsible for all the product categories

In the SRM org structure I can't assign P01 to two purchasing Organizations. In addition, depends on the requirement, requisitioner will make the decision which purchasing org. to use (same as R/3).

Can I meet this requirement without customization ?

pls. help

Goto to your Pur.Grp Org Unit, under extedend attributes, populate the Org Resp with the required Porgs.

Hi Imthiaz Ahmed,

Thanks

As one purchasing group will purchase for multiple purchasing org, business needs to user to select the purchasing org as it depends on what product category user decided to purchase (same as R/3)

As per your suggestion, user can't choose the purchasing org.

User can't be allowed to choose Porgs as std.

Hi,

Thanks. As per your suggestion, I can set one purchasing group to two purchasing orgs in the responsibility. But SRM will choose one of the purchasing orgs (based on its own logic) and create PR/PO. But user needs the other purchasing org (i.e other than SRM identified purchasing org) ?

How do I do it? Is it possible to do it in 'standard' SRM ?

Note: One purchasing group is responsible for multiple purchasing org. and one company code is linked to multiple purchasing orgs.

Please help.

you are working in ECS or CLASSIC?

If it is ECS and SRM has leading PO.

You can change the org data (pur org & Pur grp) of purchasing documents like PO/BI/Contract

under log-in of strategic purchaser

user with role SAP_BBP_STAL_STRAT_PURCHASER

and assigned in org structure

this is calle work load redistribution

available under std menu

my srm st pur-->st pur ->st sourcing ->redistribute work load

If it is CLASSIC

you may try coding

BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW

method FILL_PO_INTERFACE1

with custom logic

Hi ,

Thanks.

SRM 5.0, classic.

Thanks for the BADI.

But what I don't understand here is that R/3 can full-fill the business requirement without any problem. When I try to do the same in SRM, I can't do it without 'custom code'.

My expectation and the business team's expectation is that SRM should take care of whatever R/3 can do today. In this case it is NOT possible in SRM without custom code.

Thanks

As standard in SRM,

For SC - It's not possible

For PO - Choosing a different Porg and Pgrps are possible
