based on the company's requirements you finalize the vendor as your approved vendor and you want that your system (user) should use those vendor only ........in this case you have to create the source list with vandor aggrement and force the system to create the po with source list only by selectio at material master level and IMG level for source list required.

hope this will help you a lot

Hi Mangesh,

If u have Vendor evaluation in place then it will help us to judge the vendors based on many criteria like price, delivery, service etc. Then u can decide which vendor should be approved and you can create source list based on that.

Hi

as mentioned by Charlie, this is as per as business requirement.

also if QM module is active in your company, Vendor approval can be defined in QM. Like Purchase Info record, in QM, you can create Q-Info record,. In Q-Info record, you can specifiy upto what date, Vendor is allowed to supply material. Also you can specify maximum Quantity he can supply. Also you can have procurement key active in material master Quality view.

If Q-Info record is not maintained, system wont allow you to raise PO on particular vendor even though if you have source list and Purchase Info record.

Hope it helps.

Hi Mangesh,

This is standard procedure, no need to do any special customization,but you have to maintain master data.

Maintain QM proc.active in material master quality mang view with QM control key0003.

For approval procedure you have to maintain the quality info record for vendor and material with some quantity.

In quality info record inspection control tab maintain inspection control with 3rd option..

Maintain the Status profile QM_P_001 in status tab.

Raise the PO -->Goods receipt, Check the quality if the quality is OK then post to stock.

Go to the quality info record then the status will change to Qualification Modal.

Do the second goods receipt , quality is OK, then your status will change to PilotSeries.

Then your quality approval is over then you can do normal procurement.
