Hi,

Purchasing group:

A key for a buyer or group of buyers responsible for certain purchasing activities.

The purchasing group is:

Internally responsible for the procurement of a material or a class of materials

The principal channel for a company's dealings with its vendors

Hi Experts,

BOM will be created for a parent material. In PR/PO only the parent material will be ordered. But while doing GRN the stock should gets updated for the child materials also as per the BOM configured for the parent material. It should not go through sub-contracting process. Is there any way out?

Hi Munna,

A Purchase group is used for authorization, we create a purchase group in customizing and the same can be assigned in the material master at plant level.

While creating a user ID in SAP, the user will be given authorization for a purchase group.

And this will help him to raise a PO for his group only,which others can not.

Purchase group is a responsible group, who do negotiations with Vendor and involve in day to day purchasing activities. They are independent identity. Not assigned to any purchasing organization or to plants.

Hi,

Purchase groups can be used for

1. Taking the reports like total PO's/PR's w.r.t a particular P.G

2. Can be used in determination of release strategy.
