Dear PSS,

You can generate a source list for the combination that you would give on selection screen. For example you can choose options like :

Material/Plant combination

All records for material/plant, Excl Outline Agreement, or Outline Agreements only.

Valid from and to dates etc

http://www.sap-img.com/materials/about-the-source-list-determination.htm

You define source list requirements at plant level. If a source list requirement exists, you must maintain the source list for each material before you can order it.

The source list serves:

To define a source of supply as "fixed". Such sources count as preferred sources over a certain period of time. For example, the fixed vendor XXXX for material 100XX is ASA Company for the first quarter and BSB Co. for the second quarter of the year.

Select the plants for which you wish to specify a source list requirement

You use the source list to determine the valid source of supply at a certain point in time.

The source list contains all the sources of supply defined for a material and the periods during which procurement from these sources is possible

Following T/Code activities in Material Management module.

Maintain source list - ME01

Display source list - ME03

Display changes to source list - ME04

Analyze source list - ME06

Reorganize source list - ME07

Generate source list - ME05

Display source list for material- ME0M

you make the system settings that are necessary for purchasing operations carried out using source lists.

Source list requirement for materials, It may be necessary to include possible vendors of a material in the source list before the material can be ordered.

The Source list requirement field in the purchasing data of the material master record indicates whether a source list requirement exists for a material.

You can define the Source list requirement at plant level in IMG. Logistics -->Materials management --> Purchasing --> Source list.

Here you can see the plants for which a source list requirement exists.

Hope this will help.

Hi,

ME05 is generate source list.That means if u r not maintained sourcelist for one material but u did purchaseorder for that material in any vendor. That list will come in ME05. (without maintain source list). That transaction is used for who are all the possible vendor for supply that material.

Hi Venkatesh,

Is it a dynamic transaction, where vendor can be selected for a material before or after MRP run ? Please clarify?

Thanks and Regards,
