Answer:
purchasing groups will default from material master.
if not maintained in mateiral master but in vendor master, then it will default from vendor master.

Thanks for your inputs.

I do agree that in case of material ID item, the purchasing group is copied from the material master. However, it is not feasible that if non-material ID item is requisitioned, the purchasing group is copied from vendor master as this is PR document where you don't know from which particular vendor your PR line item is procured. Secondly, if I am not wrong, the purchasing group field in vendor master record is applicable to the case of IS Retail System.
Cheers,
HT

What release of SAP are you on???
If it is 4.6 or on...then there is an option to enter default data in personal settings on PR screen itself.Here you can enter the default purchasing group as well for that user.
