Usually, when customers can define specific characteristic of the product, such as the brand of a component, we use something called variant configuration.
With variant configuration you will have characteristics to be selected on the sales order and your bill of material may vary according to those characteristics.
I thought about this option. But my requirement is determine same material's different vendor based on customer requirement. Even with VC, we could not determine this.
As Caetano proposed, in the Variant Configuration, you can define, Vendor of the component & the Storage Location during the entry of the Sales Order.The same Values will get copied into the Production Order. So, at the Production Order level, in the Shop Floor, concerned operator, can consume / use, that Material of that Vendor, which is maintained at the specific/distinct Storage location. So, with respect to the Customer, you can use specific Component supplied by the Vendor, as mentioned in the Sales Order. Hope, this works. Kindly check & revert back with your comments.

Can you please explain your requirement briefly like what activity you are doing , Do you need this functioanality during batch determination or goods issue?
We have one production with components. For one component, we have different vendor. Some customer make order to us for this product and they will ask use one specific vendor's component to assembly. Some other customer make order to use for this product and they will ask use another specific vendor's component to assembly.
We need solution support this in purchase WM and production process.
We have bom for this product but inside bom we do not have chance to specific an vendor.Then we have issue to pull material from right vendor.
As suggested by experts, Variant configuration is suitable solution for your requirement.
If Stock is managed in batches, then you can try to maintain vendor name in batch/batch classification and create sort rule which will determine the batches according to Vendor during batch determination in order..
