Kindly refer the

457110 FAQ: Source determination in purchasing

445239 ME56/ME57-Source Overview displays numerous OUn

On ME56, when you click on "Assign Automatically", system does the

follow:

System calls include LMEQRF49:

FORM bezugsquelle_suchen.

PERFORM mpn_check.

PERFORM quotierung. -> Quota arrangement

PERFORM orderbuch. -> Source list

PERFORM vertraege. -> Outline Agreements

PERFORM infosaetze. -> Info record ->> Here system found a record!

PERFORM umlagerungswerke.

PERFORM vertraege_ohne_material.

PERFORM regellieferant.

PERFORM vertragsreferenz.

PERFORM sourcing_via_atp.

System follow the above hierarchy. For example, First search for a quota

arrangment, if there is no quota arrangement, search for a source list..

and so on. Sorry for the technical explanation, it was just to a better

understanding of source of supply hierarchy.

This is one of the prerequisite that source should have been assigned. Therefore there must be a unique source assigned to the Requisition before you process ME57.

The same can be an Info Record, Outline Agreement. If there are more than one source the same can be maintained in Source list.

From Purchase Requisition, if you maintain source of supply.
