In R/3 system , Purchase groups are maintained for the material master and defaults to Requisition

Like wise Whenever user create shopping cart in SRM , how the purchase groups is captured in the shopping cart.

There are 2 places where can assign Product categories . one is under the tab responsibility and another is in extended attributes .

Purchase groups are picked up based on the settings maintained in Repsonsibility tab of the Purchase group in PPOMA_BBP.

1.By maintaining Object ID(ID of the user dept node), this Purchase group is responsible to all users belonging to that node.

If you do not maintain Product category under Product responsibility then that Purchase group is responsible for all product categories user is selected.

Product categories in Extended attributes are maintained at parent level where a Purch org or Company code are responsible. This is not relevant here.

If you want to maintain an equation that a purchase group is responsible to only certain product categories then maintain those in Responsible product categories section. This will be helpful in certain scenarios like multiple purchase groups are responsible to the same user group and each Purch group looks after only certain product categories.

In this case you maintain Object ID of user node in Orgn Responsibility of all relevant purchase groups. When user create SC, system first check the combination of Object ID and Product category. If it find the right combination then that purch grp will be picked.

If no combination exists then system picks the purch group whose node ID is close to the node of user. Because you have assigned same user to many purchase groups.

So it is upto you how you define the purchase groups and product category settings.

PS : Reward points if helpful.

Hi,

If the standard logic is not compliant with the customer requirement, you can implement BBP_PGRP_FIND badi.

As soon as you activate this badi with your own logic, the standard logic is completely deactivated.

Hi

User will have the 'Requester' attribute assigned to the repsective org unit number for which he/she can raise the SC. This org unit number has to be maintained in the 'responsibility' tab (under Orgainzational responsibility) of relevant purchasing groups. So the link is formed when the user raises the SC for that specific org unit in SRM.

Hi,

purchasing groups are maintained in the org. model (transaction PPOSA_BBP) under a purchasing org.

As described above, you can define a organizational responsibility AND the purchasing group is resposible for specific product categories. So the finding of the purchasing group is done via organizational responibility and the assigned product category.

Hi

In the Responsibility tab of Purchasing Grp org unit - Product responsibility screen, you can specify the range of product categories for whihc the purch group is responsible for each of the source system (R3).
