the purchasing group is an individual organisation element that is not linked in customizing to a plant or company or purchasing organisation.

You can enter a purchasing group to a material or to a vendor.

Material is the common place that is used in general.

So the requistion created from an MRP run gets automatically assigned to the purchasing group that is entered in the mateial master plant view.

Each plant can have its own purchasing group in material master.

however SAP cannot check whether the purchasing group maintained in material for plant A responsible for procurement in this plant.

You can only assign a purchasing group to individual persons via roles in authorization managment. this way you can restrict a purchasing group to be used only for a certain plant too.
