Dear Kedar,

By any chance, Is Buyer Code in your terminology means Purchasing Group?

No, it is related to Material Management (MM)

User is from Material user group.

Dear Kedar,

Even Purchasing Group is also related to MM.

1. Goto transaction SE16

2. Table AGR_1252

3. Give the "Role" as * and "Org. level" as $EKGRP and execute it.

From the list of roles that you get see for the roles which have the value M90. Let me know if it doesn't help.

Regards,

Hi Kedar,

There is a very classic way of assigning Buyer code ( Purchasing Group) to a user. By using roles

The first step would be to understand the requirement. Buyer Code is often a jargon for Purchasing Group, and for the fact that your user is a MM user, am presuming its this. Also Purchasing Groups are 3 character long.

Check table T024, see if this value M90 is present in it. If yes, then the MM Functional team have maintained this in the configuration. If its not in 1252, then probably you need to update roles to include this value. Sit with the MM team and determine which all roles require this value. Once you add this, your user will have access to this buyer code.

Also, let them know that if its maintained in the configuration, it will not magically appear to users... they need to work closely with the security team

Cheers
