Purchasing requests created by MRP comes with blank vendor. So vendor has to be identified by the user when converting request to the po. What has to be done in order to get MRP automaticly assigns related purchasing info record ?
It is designed to generate source lists from info records and outline agreements etc.
But test it thoroughly firat. I have always found it to be a bit too basic and it often results in some invalid entries especially start and end dates.
Depending on the settings you use it can leave existing records as they are, remove them or make them invalid. This often "damages" the existing data if you already have a lot of source lists already created, so do try it out fully in a sandbox first.
You also have the option of jumping directly from ceratin transactions such as Outline agreement create to generate the source list at the same time as you are generating the contracts etc.
So take care, in many implementations I have worked on we went back to manual generation, often just after someone had ruined the data by using the wrong swettings in ME05.

When you are in the 'Generate Source List' Screen, select the related source list record you would like to fix the vendor and then press 'Shift+F9'.
Thanks lot for your comments. I've run the ME05 and get the source list records created from info records. We'll see in the future how consistent they are .
You need to activate the option "Automatic PO" for your material, then create a info record, then a source list for your material with at least a vendor.
