Sources of supply in SC not visible

[Former Member]

Hi

I have created a local contract for a vendor material combination, but the contract/vendor is not visible in the sources of supply tab when I am creating a SC.

Amol,

Check your contract is released.

Check the Organizational data (Purch Org) of the contract corresponds to the SC Org Data.

Check the product or category you put in the contract is the same in the SC

Hi Vadim

The contract shows awaiting approval, but is not available in the approval preview of the manager.

Moreover the workflow for 1 step contract approval is inactive, so how can it show awaiting approval?

The purch org, product category and part number are same.

Amol,

GEt into the contract in the approval preview, you should see who's the approver.

Furthermore, find out which WF was started in order to investigate.

You 've to be aware that even if you don't want anny contract approval, you've to target the WF without approval with the starting conditions for the contracts.

Hi

I am able to see the approver. I have approved the contract now, the status in the approval tab shows contract is approved.

Still why is it not showing in sources of supply?

Also I have maintained a vendor-price in the product master(COMMPRO1). Even this is not showing in the sources of supply.

Hi,

I understand that you created a local product for which you want to manage several souces of supply:

1-A vendor Price

2-A contract

For the first point, also manage the link with the vendor in COMMPR01 (Relationship / vendor tab).

For the second one, if the contract is a purchasing contract, and is released for the correct product on the correct Purch Org, it should work.

Create a SC with the product, the source of supply should be used (warning: the system may directly assign a SOS to the SC line, then go to SOS tab and suppress the SOS, you'll get the list of SOS for the product).

Hi

The product is not LOCAL its a BACKEND product(from R/3) and so is the product category.

The SC was created first and approved. When the product appeared on the "Carry Out sourcing" tab, i created and released the contract.

The relationship tab is also maintained for the product in product master.
