Overcome Inability to Edit Purchasing Group in PR and PO Change Document

[mark_perkins]

Hi Experts,

I am curious to learn how the community deals with the inability to edit the Purchasing Group in a PR or PO change document.

Also, there is a Customer Influence item 267995 (Purchase Org and Purchasing Group fields to be editable on a Change Order) that needs 6 more votes.

We assign a person to a Purchasing Group. Then PRs are assigned to that Purchasing Group (person). When the activity from one business area increased the load of a Purchasing Group, then we wish to change the Purchasing Group on those POs to a different Purchasing Group. Ariba does not allow this capability that SAP ECC supports.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Appreciate your answer, but this does not seem to help our current business practice. We have buyers that specialize in lines of business-operations, IT, HR, etc. Our preference would be to have the same person process transactions from the same business area. Also, we perform a lot of ERP reporting based upon the Purchasing Group.
