Hi

Source list==>Materials Management  Purchasing  Source List  Define Source List requirement at Plant Level??

Source list requirement indicates whether you want to make 'maintaining the source list' mandatory for a plant.

If the indicator is set for a particular plant, it becomes a mandate that the source list has to be maintained in the system before any PO is raised for the plant.

And Source List is only used to determine whether a source of supply for a material is valid for a certain period. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the assigning it to company code. It only relates to a material and its source of supply(vendor).

Hi All

I have a question in relation to this, (thank you Maniraj for the helpful comment)

If i want to maintain a source list, is it neccessary to _only_ maintain through ME01 and the Material Master (Purchasing Tab)

Or will the MM update from ME01 ?

I have also heard, (and need to clarify) Source List needs to activated / configured via SPRO >> Purchasing >> Source LIst >> Define... etc.

Is this correct, and if not done, will changes in ME01 and MM still function

Further, if SPRO... is activated, do Source Lists become mandatory for all materials across the plant.

See below

• Mauiraj, your comment "Source list requirement indicates whether you want to make 'maintaining the source list' mandatory for a plant." By not activating this, will source lists still be maintained, only not "Mandatory".

thanks for your help

regards
