Automatic Source determiantion

Dear Guru,
During Automatic source determination, the logic to find the source of supply sequence is
Quota arrangement
Source list
Outline agreement and info record
Source Determination - Purchasing (MM-PUR) - SAP Library
My doubt is whether the above sequence is hard-coded in SAP or is there any configuration.
Regards
GP

Hi Praveen
A.The Source determination hierachy is:
1. Quota arrangement
2. Source List
3. Outline Agreement
4. Info record.
Once a valid Source of Supply is found the system will stop searching.
This can be seen Function ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY
FORM BEZUGSQUELLE_SUCHEN. (Source of Supply Search)
This is all hardcoded in the system.
You could us customer exit which is available in source determination EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001. This would allow you to change the results which apper ain the LORD table which are the entries in the popup list.
I hope this information is of help.
Kind regards,
Lorraine

Automatic source determination on PR created from PM-order

Hey,
I got stuck here....
I have a PM-order, with a component, creating a PurReq automatically when saving PM-order.
I have a source list with reference to a contract and fix-indicator.
If I enter the PurReq and press source of supply, the source and contract will be determined.
If I use ME57, the source will be determined.
If I use ME51N, and flag automatic source in the top, it is also working.
BUT what I want is not working!!
I want the source to be determined automatically on creation, that is when I save my PM-order, I want SAP to create my PurReq with the source assigned automatically - upon creation!
How is that possible??
/ peter

Hi Peter,
In standard SAP functionality vendor will not be fetched from source list, if the PR is created from Maintenance Order.
However, you can use user exit - COZF0002: Maintenance order: Change purchase requisition for external component Area.
With this customer enhancement you can change the purchase requisition created from PM order.
We have not implemented the said user exit, so please check the documentation & test the same.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Can we setup automatic sourcing for standard purchase order

hi all,
can we setup automatic sourcing for standard purchase order. i have done automation for bpa. can anyone help me in setting up automatic sourcing for spo.
thanks.

Hi,
In order to create a Standard PO from requisition automatically, Requisition should be sourced to Contract Purchase agreement / Quotation / Global BPA.
Please create ASL, Sourcing Rule and Assign the sourcing rule in Assignment Set.
Also Set the Profile option "PO: Automatic Document Sourcing"
Refer the note
Automatically Create PO's from Drop Ship Requisition (Doc ID 835412.1)

Automatic Source Determination

Hello,
I have implemented function module exit EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 of enhancement MEREQ001 to control user input, one of which is the desired vendor field. Under standard system conditions, if the user enters a desired vendor then automatic source determination is ignored. The exit implemented clears this entry. I'm successfull with this strategy so far.
Now that I have the field cleared, I was hoping that automatic source determination would take over. Unfortunately, it seems this is executed (or would have been) before my exit. I want to execute the procedure again after clearing the desired vendor. Do you know the function module, or something, that will do this for me?
Thanks
C

Thank you for your reply! Your suggestion led me to ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY. A break-point in this function module proved to me that this is the one being executed. This function requires VALUE(COMIN) LIKE BQPIM STRUCTURE BQPIM.
The function module exit I am implementing, EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_005 of enhancement MEREQ001, only includes data from MEREQ_ITEM, which is only line item data. Not all of the information required to build a structure like BQPIM is available, such as header data like document type and document category.
Where can I get all of the data I need to make the call to ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY? Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

ME52N - Automatic source determination fails

Hello experts!
i have detected an issue at my system when i set the Automatic
Source Determination flag when i change a Purchase Requisition at
ME52N.
Here is the situation.
If we set this flag at the PR creation (ME51N), the source
determination is well done.
However, if the user forgets to set flag "Auto Source Determination" at
the PR creation, at ME52N when it is set, the Source is not
determinate automatically...
If you press button "Assign Source", it is brought to the PR correctly.
Is there any OSS Note that solves this mistake??
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
cecil

Hi Maria
The header level "source determination" check box is intended for getting the appropriate source for <b>each</b> PR line items while <b>creation</b>.
As you have created PR lines already without choosing this option, now by simple selection in ME52N will not assign source. You have to use source assignment at individual item level.

Automatic Sourcing in SRM

Hello!
Could you please let me know if there is any kind of source determination that can make the Purchase Orders automatically generated after the requisitioner selects the item in the MDM catalog?
If not possible through the standard, is there any BADI that could make it work?
My scenario is classic and we have the MDM catalog implemented, all the contracts is in the ECC6.
The flow would be, the user sends the purchase requisition from ECC6 to SRM, SRM realize that there is a contract regarding this material and then generates the Purchase Order (the accounting data would the same as the purchase requisition).
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

After our last EP upgrade to EHP4.0, when we create shopping cart, it can no longer find the source of supply (the contract in our case) using our MDM catalog. Does anyone know the cause of this? We have not upgraded our SRM-MDM catalogue in tandem with the EHP/SPS upgrade on our ECC6 ( SAP_APPL/604/SAPKH60406) at this point.

Automatic Source of supply selection for Dependent orders.

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where we have one FG (F1) with two assembly components S1 and S2 .Assembly components have their own routings.All the master data is exist in APO as well.An order is created for FG and dependent requirements are generated on assembly Components S1 and S2.Please see below to find the clear picture of routings and operations
In ECC
Operations for FG
Op3
Op4
Operations for S1
Op1
Operations for S2
Op2
We have four resources in Line 1 - R1,R2,R3 and R4
Line 2 - R11,R12,R13 and R14.
Operations are dispatched accordingly in routing.
Op1 - R1,Op2 - R2, Op3 - R3 and Op4 - R4
In APO
PDS created for S1,S2 and FG
Each having two different PDS consisting resources of Line 1 In PDS 1 and Line 2 in PDS 2
My requirements is when order is created against a requirement for FG then dependent requirments is generated for S1 and S2.After MRP run orders are created against dependent requirement.Now if i see the relationship for FG order in Ds Board I can see the dependent orders also.Since my op4 is a bottleneck resource, if there is not much capacity available to produce the order qty then I try to swtich the order from Resource R4 to Resource R14.I am just dragging the order from one resource to other resource but the problem is I want my S1 and S2 orders should also automatically move from R1 to R11 and R2 to R12.
For Finished good's order source of supply is changing but for Assembly components orders its is not changing automatically.Please provide some solution how I can achive this scenario in PPDS.

Hi Debasis
No , it can be used also in Discrete Manufacturing , as APO point of view PDS is master data which can be transferred from routing or recipe
This Heuristic can be find in SCM 7.0 EHP2 only according to this link :

Can I make a chart automatically source data from different parts of a table?

Hi! I have a chart that shows data entered into one row across several columns of a table. I want the chart to automatically display information from the next row down once data has been entered into all fields of the first row without the chart displaying two sets of data i.e. just the second row only. I would greatly appreciate any ideas as I've hit a total roadblock with this. Thanks!

Hi gsnwosu,
I don't know of any way that Numbers can predict your next move! You must enter all your data and then select cells and create a chart. Here is a Table with a Header Row and two Rows of data:
You don't say what kind of chart you want. Here is a bar chart using data from Row 2. Select Row 2 by clicking once on the grey Row number (2) and choose a chart type (bar chart here):
Ignore the "Chart 3" label. I had three goes at this!
Click on the chart to select it:
then drag the Row (or Cells) selection down to Row 3 for a new chart (Oranges):
Regards,
Ian.

Source determiantion in PR

hi frnds,
please clarify ma what is the use of source determination box in the purchase requisition page..
i need full information means what is the information it is source and from where, any records are going to be affected, and additional benifit if it is service PR or contract PR.
thanks in advance

Hi,
your question was about source determination with SERVICES.
In the area external services there aren't any inforecords available.
Please check the settings options in transaction ML91 or ML98.
In order that the system suggests a source when services are procured, you must make a setting in the "Source determination" area. If you do not make a setting, no search for suitable sources will take place.
You have two options (A and B) for having sources suggested.
You can make use of either one or both of them:
A: Search at item level for contracts:
The source determination process for services belonging to a material group is set at item level.
This means that contract items having the same material group are suggested as sources for a requisition item. (It is immaterial whether or not the specific individual service requested is included in the contract in question.)
B: Search at service level for contracts and service conditions:
Here you can choose one of the following settings:
all services
at least one service
no source determination at service line level
Example:
The "All services" indicator has been set for the source
determination process for services.
For a purchase requisition item, this means that
the contract items containing all the services requested in the requisition are suggested as sources
the vendors for which service conditions have been maintained for all requested services are suggested as sources.
If the "At least one service" indicator has been set, those contract
that contain at least one of the requested services plus the
vendors for which service conditions have been maintained for at
least one of the requested services are suggested.

Edit

Automatic source determination in PR

Hi
I have a source list with correct validity.
Here i have maintained a contract and flagged the "fix" indicator. The contract has the correct vaidity.
This is the only entry in the source list.
However, when iam creating a PR manually using Me51N, then teh system is not populating the contract as the source.
please advise
regards
Syed.

Hello,
I think that in addition to a source list we have to maintain the quota arrangement
If you have a single supplier, so quota arrangement will be 100% , transaction "MEQ1"
Please correct me if I am wrong
Best Regards

SAP Automatic source determination

Dear Gurus
I have a source list with one vendor (with fixed indicator and "1" relevant for MRP).
Further, I have a info record for the same material vendor combination.
Validity period is until 31.12.9999.
But system is not picking up the vendor for purchase requisition, after MRP run.
Is there any specific reason for that?
Thanks & Best Regards
Rupesh

Hi,
Go to OMFI - Here create a key or use 01 by making necessary changes as following;
Under Source Determination Tab Page, activate "Create Requisition" and Save.
Then go to the User Master (SU01) of the MRP Person and under "Parameters" Tab Page, maintain this key "01" against Parameter ID "EVO" and try MRP Run again and check.

Question about the Documentation Tags for Source Code

Hello,
I have a question about CVI's automatic source code documentation. My problem is that is seems like you need to write all documentation for a specific tag on one line. If you don't, a line break will be inserted when the documentation is displayed. Suppose I want to write a large amount of documentation for the function itself, using the HIFN tag. If I don't want linebreaks to be forced in the documentation, I need to write all this documentation on one single line, which kinda messes up my code. If I split the documentation over several HIFN tags, the documentation displayed to the user might look messed up because of all the linebreaks. Is there any escape character I can put at the end of a line, allowing me to split the documentation of several HIFN lines without forcing linebreaks in the documentation?
Thanks!

This information is certainly useful. Note, however, that it can also be found in the documentation
Tag
Description
/// HIFN help text
Specifies the help text for the function. Use multiple /// HIFN tags to display help text for the function on separate lines. To separate help text with an empty line, use /// HIFN on a line by itself. You also can use HTML tags, but you must enclose the tags in <HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML> tags.
Example
/// HIFN SampleFunction returns the value of a control.

Purpose
Oracle Purchasing - Version: 11.5.8 to 11.5.10
Blanket Purchase Order approval 동안 ASL과 Sourcing Rules이 생성되게 하기 위해
요구되는 steps에는 무엇이 있는지 알아본다.
Solution
Profile Options:
- PO: Allow Auto-generate Sourcing Rules => CREATE AND UPDATE
- PO: Allow Autocreation of Oracle Sourcing Documents => Yes
- MRP: Default Assignment Set => Define with desired Assignment Set (eg. Supplier Scheduling)
Note:
- 위 Profiles은 User, Responsibility, Application 그리고 Site level로 setting 할 수 있다.
- Profile option을 setting 하거나 변경 후, application을 re-log 해야 한다.
Workflow Builder를 통해 PO Approval Workflow를 setup:
Attributes
- Create Sourcing Rule Flag: "Y"
- Update Sourcing Rule Flag: "Y"
- PO SR Rule Name Prefix: "PURCH" - Default Value
- PO Assignment Type ID for SR: "3 - Item level "
- PO Sourcing Organization ID: ASL이 생성되어야 하는 Inventory Org를 set
Example 1 : 새로운 Socing Rule이 생성
a. 아래 setting을 가진 Blanket을 생성:
- "Enable Automatic Sourcing"
- "Update Existing Sourcing Rule and Assignment"
- Item: AS12345
- Supplier: Advanced Network Devices
- Site: SANTA CLARA
b. Deferred Parameter "Yes", Workflow Background engine을 실행
c. Supply Base> Approved Supplier List로 이동
d. Item AS12345를 조회
e. 생성된 ASL을 확인
f. Soucing Rule 화면으로 이동
- Sourcing Rule을 조회: PUR%
- Soucing Rule 'PURCH_ABCD' 이 생성된 것을 확인
- Supplier: Advanced Network Devices
- Allocation = 100% , Rank =1
g. Soucing Rule 생성을 확인
h. Assignment Set 화면으로 이동
i. 조회:
- Assignment Set: Supplier Shceduling
- Type: Item
- Item: AS12345
- Soucing Rule: PURCH_ABCD
j. Assignment Set 생성을 확인
Example 2 : 기존의 Soucing Rule / ASL을 update
a. 아래 setting을 가진 Blanket을 생성:
- "Enable Automatic Sourcing"
- "Update Existing Sourcing Rule and Assignment"
- Item: AS12345
- Supplier: Advanced Network Devices
- Site: SANTA CLARA
b. Deferred Parameter "Yes", Workflow Background engine을 실행
c. Supply Base> Approved Supplier List로 이동
- Item 'AS1345'를 조회
- Supplier Block으로 이동:
- Supplier: Advantage Corp
- Site: ADVANTAGE - US
d. ASL이 존재하고 있음을 확인
e. Soucing Rule 화면으로 이동
- Soucing Rule을 조회: PUR%
- Soucing Rule 'PURCH_ABCD' 이 생성된 것을 확인
- Supplier: Advanced Network Devices
- Site: SANTA CLARA
- Allocation = 100% , Rank =1
f. 기존의 Soucing rule PURCH_ABCD가 update 된 것을 확인
g. Assignment Set 화면으로 이동, 조회
- Assignment Set: Supplier Shceduling
- Type: Item
- Item: AS12345
- Soucing Rule: PURCH_ABCD
j. Assignment Set은 변경됨이 없음을 확인, 왜냐하면 soucing rule이 동일하기 때문

Source determination not happening during PR creation from Planned order

Hi Experts
We have set up source determination and we have created a sourcelist of material and a vendor is fixed, there is a inforecord alos maintined,
I am trying to convert a planned order from MD04 to a purchase requisition, the source is not being assigned for the PR, I am alos getting an information saying that 'the material is defined for inhouse production'
secondly if I click the 'Assign Source of Supply', then I am getting an error 'not possible to assign a source of supply'.
The material is a finished material 'FERT' with procurement key 'X' so in MRP an planned order gets generated for converting a PR or a production order.
Note - I was doing this effectively in a differnt client without any proble. I am unable to find what I am missing, please sugest.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions, The issue is resolved by testing with a new material with tproper master data. Basically the problem occured when some user created additional inforecord for the same P,Org hence there was no automatic source detemination happening.

a second info record may explain that AUTOMATIC source determination ddid not work but it does not explain the error messagees you described earlier.
