Shopping cart Purchasing group determination

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have created Org structure like this

Backend pur.organsiation> purchasing group(Back end)>buyer1

department1-->user1

Buyer1 is responsible for department1

When user1 is creating shopping cart , I found in shopping cart purchasing group field is not showing.

Later I have created Local pur org and Local Purchasing group and Buyer4 assigned to it.

When I create a SC , now purchasing group field is showing with only one buyer i.e Buyer4.

we are on SRM 7 EHP1 and Extended classic scenario.

Is this standard behaviour that SC only shows Purchasing groups of local Purchase org.

Thanks

Hi Abdul,

No, Even PGrps that refer to backend must be visible in the SC.

Have you assigned responsibility at Purch Grp level in your org structure?

Hi Nikhil,

Yes I have assigned Purchasing group responsibility to departments for back end purchasing group.

I wonder Why it is not showing.

Abdul,

Is the purchasing group field grayed out?

Have you maintained the check box in the function tab of the purch grp org unit as flagged while you assign the same to backend purch grp. This is required to get your purch grp in the dropdown list.

Hi Nikhil,

I can see buyers for local purchasing group only, not the Back end purchasing group buyers.

For back end purchasing group I have kept in function tab a check box as purchasing group, and purchasing group number refering to back end system

Abdul,

The buyers will be created in SRM org structure only. Buyers are not replicated from ECC backend. You can only refer to ECC Purch Grp, but buyers under these Purch grp will have to be created in SRM only.

Only these buyers will appear in the shopping cart

Hi Nikhil,

I have creates buyers in SRM only under Backend purchasing group.

But when creating SC , those backend purchasing groups are not shown, instead only local purchasing groups are shown.

Hi Nikhil,
