Position under Purchasing Org.'s Org Unit

[Former Member]

Hi,

SRM :5.5, extended classic scenario

When I look at the SRM Org. structure, I see the Position (S) under Purchasing Org.'s Org Unit ?.

What is the use of creation of Position under Purchasing Org's Org Unit ?

Note:

I did HR Replication in the past. I used to see the Position under the Company Code's org. unit. So that when anyone in the SRM org. structure creates a SC, it follows the hierarchy for the approval.

With regards,

Pranav

Hi Pranav,

We should understand that we have role of "Operational purchaser" and Strategic purchaser" within the typical purchasing organization. These are the standard roles supplied by SAP.

If you think of some complex purchasing organization catering to the needs of group of companies then it may have more than 3-4 levels within (May be some additional customized roles). This will decide the approval limits, authorities, powers and roles.

Therefore, positions within the purchasing organization are created to group different roles and functions. Even I have positions in my purchasing org.

Assign points as applicable.

Regards,

Ravi
