Hello,
I have a question/problem that I cannot seem to be able to address:
We have set up an external procurement profile to default the Purchasing Group when doing external procurement in our Service Orders. This is done for release strategy purposes, as our release strategy for Purchase Requisitions is partly based on Purchasing Group (and each document type is tied to a single purchasing group/release strategy). This overwrites the purchasing group in the Material Master, as expected.
However, the system breaks down when we attempt to procure a component with a Purchasing Information Record. The Purchasing Group in the PIR overwrites the external procurement profile.
For other logistical reasons, we cannot disable the automatic creation of PIRs, which leaves us with two potential options that I can think of:
1) Ensure that the PIR is not retrieved when creating the Component in the Service Order
2) When the PIR is being created, ensure that the Purchasing Group remains blank
Are either of these options possible? I have searched through SCN and SPRO, and haven't found a solution.
Alternately, if there is another solution that I haven't thought of, I would certainly be open to that...
Thanks!
