Automatically assign Source of Supply though more than one Supplier exists.

[Former Member]

Hi everyone...

Currently, we are using SRM5.0 (Classic Scenario). As I've known, during creation of shopping cart using Describe Requirement, SRM will check and get backend source of supply and will assign automatically if only One source of supply exist.

However, the problem here is, backend system has many sources of supply (5 vendors for the same material group) existing based on the material group and still it automatically assigns a source of supply during shopping cart creation.

Anyone has any idea of this issue?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

As a standard system will assign source of supply if only one source of supply exits in back end.

Please check is there any source list or contract or info record maintained for the vendor's.

Also check the 5 Vendors data in vendor master in R/3...

Thanks

Hi sesetty,

I've checked but there are no source list , contract and it's not a fix vendor. Amazingly, it only pick a info record from backend, 5500017991.

There are 8 info records in the backend and this vendor having 5 info records and the rest are for different vendor. All of the 5 info records already expired.

Hi Shanthi

5500017991 - check what is the purchase organisation w.r.t

me13 - via organisation level.

you may have many info record for one material .

inforecord belongs to many purchase organisation too.

so you can backtrack what is your purchase organisation ( your sc has a reference of purchase group for your r/3 purchase group ,you can find what r/3purchase organisation)

so your system performs correctly. check your purchase organisation data of inforecord.

for eg .

1001 -inforecord -200 material - purchase organisaion 2000

1002 -inforecord -200 material - purchase organisaion 1000

1003-inforecord -200 material - purchase organisaion 1500

let me know if have any queries.

Hi Muthu,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I've checked and all the 5 info records are the same material group and also same purch. org.

Hi

Eventually check plant (location) combination with purchase organisation.

pinfo - porg + plant = plant vs sc po(pg ) + location

any user exists?

Hi

I believe if you have unique info record for that material by default it might assigned.

but you are saying you have more than one valid infor record for one material .

META_INFORECORD_GETLIST - can you check this fm.

still i am not clear why you get one as default though you have more than one info record.

please clarify your questions here .

do you have inforecord for material as well as material group too. since the first discussion you said describe requireemnt and later internal goods and services. it gives me little confusion.
