Porg determination for external requirement during Sourcing

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

We have processing of external reqmts from ECC into SRM Sourcing using PI.

With this set up, we use TRA_RFC as PI user which creates the intermediary shopping cart in SRM for every external reqmt passed.

My question is, during Sourcing (assignment of supplier) to create a PO, how does the system pull out the Porg/pgroup to be assigned?

i'm getting inconsitent observation so far in my testing.

any input from your own experience will be appreciated. thanks~

HI dex

There are a couple of ways :

1. it can be due to the product responsibility and org responsibility in the PPOSA_BBP maintained for the Pur grp

2. Check the logic in BADI  BBP_PGRP_FIND

3. BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI  BADI also has logic for Pur grp

4.  You may also want to check the code in BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI

in SRM

-setup an entry channel in the org structure for external requirements

-assign rfc user to this channel

-assign local pur group responsible for the created channel
