• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON095 - The entered purchasing group is different from the proposed list ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_REQ_COMMON095 indicates that the purchasing group entered in a purchasing document (like a purchase requisition or purchase order) does not match the purchasing group that is proposed by the system based on the material or vendor data. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when creating or modifying purchase requisitions or orders.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Purchasing Group: The purchasing group specified in the document does not align with the purchasing group that is set up in the material master or vendor master records.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the purchasing module that dictate which purchasing groups are allowed for certain materials or vendors.
  User Input Error: The user may have mistakenly entered a different purchasing group than what is suggested by the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the Purchasing Group:
  
  Check the purchasing group assigned to the material in the material master (transaction code MM03) and the vendor in the vendor master (transaction code XK03).
  Ensure that the purchasing group you are trying to use is valid for the material or vendor in question.

  Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Purchasing Groups
