Source List

[Former Member]

Hi SAP gurus.

Kindly confirm whether my understanding is correct for assignment of source of supply to PR Automatically / Manually.

1) PR creation automatically through MRP..

In source List created with material and plant.

a) Maintained validity period,enterd vendor num and selected MRP indicator as 1 ie for contract and Purchase info record.Here i want to have Info record as my source list then i need to enter purchase info vendor number.

b) Maintaiend the validity period vendor number(which is in the scheduling agreement) and selected MRp parameter as 2.

c) If both contract/info record and scheduling agreement is available,then which vendor system will pick.

One more thing is i need to provide the contract/info record/scheduling number in the source list with the vendor number.

2) If i am creating the PR manually using ME51N,In material master in purchasing view selected Source list check box and in the source list for perticular vendor i have checked the fixed vendor then it will poick the vendor checked in source list.Pls inform is my understanding is correct.

Thanks

Hi,

b) Maintaiend the validity period vendor number(which is in the scheduling agreement) and selected MRp parameter as 2.

you have to give scheduling agreement number and item , along what you suggest is correct

c) If both contract/info record and scheduling agreement is available,then which vendor system will pick.

as per me sequence is Quota Arrangement, Source List, Contract, Information Record. in sap for automatic source determination

2) If i am creating the PR manually using ME51N,In material master in purchasing view selected Source list check box and in the source list for perticular vendor i have checked the fixed vendor then it will poick the vendor checked in source list.

YES

Dear Syed,

Kindly have a look at below notes

668764 FAQ: Source list in purchasing

457110 FAQ: Source determination in purchasing

Check the below question in 457110 note

11. Why does the source determination during the MRP run behave

differently to the source determination in purchasing?
