vendor unknown

quantity contract is maintained for this material group(accont. ass. ca. is k) but no source list is maintained(as it is not possible for material group) and there is no info record either...............now when i use tcode me25

to create po for w/o material master that is for a material group and with account assignment category k

system is not able to search for the vendor or possible source although i have marked source dter. check box on intial screen

system displays message that possible source could not be found

so what can be reason for this

Hi,

System tries to find the source at material level & not at material group level. Hence you will have to maintain the contract for material (& not for material group) & also maintain this at source list. If you want that this source be assigned to Purchase Requisitions at MRP, then select option 1 at MRP.

Hope this helps.

if i create a po for material w/o master using tcode me21n then system selects the contract of material group as a possible source but the same is not happening in tcode me25........so i bit different opinion for urs on this

Hi,

If you create PO in ME21N without entering material master then system can find source for the material group. But in transaction ME25, if you try to find source for a particular material, then system searches for source for the particular material which is not available.

using me25 i am creating the po for material group not for a specific material so the question is not able to find out the contract which i have created for the material group
