Hi,

Please remember Purchasing group is a free floating element & it is not assigned to any purchasing organizarion .It is used for reporting purpose & used during creation of MM in purchasing view & for creation of PO.

Purchasing group is only free floating if you dont use it as limiter in authorization setup.

Usually the roles will restrict users to a certain purchasing group and organisation.

Hi,

A purchasing group is assigned at leaast to one purchasing organisation (so a pg may belong to several purchasing organisation).

A vendor (master) can be extended to a purchasing organization, and you can define a default purchasing group in the vendor master but AFAIK other purchasing groups can place and order in connection with that vendor, and AFAIK materials with other pg in their mm records can be assigned to the vendor through source list.

Info records aslo contain some connection between materila-vendor-pg.

Hai,

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

The purchasing group is:

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

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

Hi,

Purchasing Group is a Floating entry will not be assigned to any Organizational element.

During the Creation of Purchasing documents the combination of elements take place

and you can generate the reports basing on that Combination..

Thx
