Fixed vendor in source list not recognized by MRP

Hi
I have a source list (ME01) with a listed info record for a particular plant/purch.orgvendor/material combo.
I have ticked the fixed vendor tick and flagged it as MRP relevant (MRP=1).
When I run the MRP the purchase requisition is created but the vendor field in the purchase requistion is empty. Somehow the MRP does not recognize the source list settings. No fixed vendor is allocated to the purchase requisition.
Validity period of source list is checked.
I have checked the User exit LMEQR001, but nothing is implemented.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

Hello Lars,
Please check the following settings in cutomization;
SPRO>>Materials Management>>Purchasing>>Environment Data>>Define Default Values for Buyers.
Select : Double Click:  Settings for Default Values.
Now select the group and go to Source determination Tab.
In tab under pre-setting of automatic source dtermination indicator.
Tick the check boxes Create purchase requistion and create purchase order vendor unknown.
Note: In ME01, if your vendor is external  then you have maiantain thye vendor in vendor fileld. If vendor is internal (say plant to plant transfer) then vendor needs to be maintained under ppl field.

  • Fixed Vendor in Source List not picking in MRP proposals

    Dear All
    For a matrial, we have maintained two Contracts as Sources in Sourcelist. Both sources are valid and MRP relevant(MRPindicator 1 in Source list)
    We then fixed the second Source ( fix indicator in second line in Source List)
    Then Run MRP. The expectation was that the second source will be picked as its fixed. But the MRP proposed Purchase Requstion and Planned orders are picking the first source only (non fixed one)
    Wanted to to clarify whether the fix source indicator does not have any relevance during MRP ? OR is it some other problem?
    Please let me know your thoughts on this.
    Regards
    Shyam

    Hello
    As already mentioned by Jürgen, the indicator 'Fixed source of supply' is not considered by MRP at all.
    See the following note which explains that in more detail:
    110074
    MRP: Source of supply, several valid source list records
    Therefore, please make sure that there is only one source list item relevant to MRP.

  • Fixed Vendor without Source List

    Hi Gurus,
    My client wants to have a fixed vendor for the Procurement of Consumables which doesnt have a Material Master. I dont have source list also. But i want to make a particular vendor fixed for my purchasing. Is there any options available in SAP to do that?
    Please advice regarding this.
    Thanks,
    Saakithyan

    Regular vendor - Specifies that the material is to be procured from this vendor at client level, i.e. for the entire corporate group. 
    If you set this indicator, the regular vendor is suggested as the only source. 
    If you wish to work with the source determination facility for purchasing documents, it makes sense not to set the indicator so that the system suggests all available sources, not just the regular vendor.

  • Fixed Vendor in Source List

    Hi, All,
    I want to know what's impact if i tick the vendor in the source list?
    1. is it impact for MRP run to assign the source to purchase requisition to generate purchase order?
    2. is it impct for costing run?
    3. can i create purchase order for this material with other different vendor?
    Is there any other impact other than above items?
    if i have no perfer in source list. is there any sequence for source list to dertermine vendor? item 1 is first?
    can i tick mutliple vendors for 'fixed'?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    Hi, All,
    1. is it impact for MRP run to assign the source to purchase requisition to generate purchase order?
    If you have the source list,,, it will suggest the vendor to be considered for procurement. It depends on How the configureation( it allowed to change the vendor)
    2. is it impct for costing run?
    No
    3. can i create purchase order for this material with other different vendor?
    In Standard SAP it is possible,,, it will give warning messeage...again it depends on the config/settings
    Is there any other impact other than above items?
    no other impact

  • Source List validity dates for MRP only

    Hi.
    Is there a way to do the following:
    Set purchasing view "source list required" so that the material must be purchased from ANY of the sources on the source list...  AND...
    Setup the source list so that there are no overlaps, and MRP sources from consecutive contracts based on the source list validity dates.
    For example, 1/1/10 to 5/1/10 -> Contract A (mrp relevant);  5/2/10-10/1/10 -> Contract B (mrp relevant).  But on 5/3/10 I want to be able to manually change the requisition away from "B" and release against Contract A.  In other words, I want MRP to get the sourcing close to correct, but allow the user the ability to override the MRP sourcing, AND still ensure that the source the user picks is on the source list somewhere.
    When I try this now, the system generates "Source list not included in list despite source list requirement."  The source list checking seems to be done all the way at the validity period level.

    hi,
    I understood your concept. Please explain it  clearly so that why this message
    is appearing " Source list not included in list despite source list requirement"
    can be found out

  • Create SA from PR - Vendor from source List

    Dear All,
    I am creating a SA from PR, where i have selected a vendor & info record. and now when i tried to create a SA wrt PR, system is asking for a Vendor and if i entered different vendor also its accepting & again asking for the Net price. Can i make such that during SA if I do against the PR system needs to pick the Vendor from the PR(Source of supply) & price from PIR ?
    regds,
    CB

    Dear Friend,
    In this case Better you maintain the source list for that vendor and material in Me01, and make FIX vendor
    if you do this system will not allow to the another vendor for particular date range
    Or
    Maintain the Quota arrangement for the it will select the vendors based on the quota rating

  • Error when blocking a vendor in source list

    We are trying to block a vendor from the Source list (Tcode ME01), however this vendor was created in a different system and imported into our current system.
    The error message we receive states "Source list record created in a different system".  We are unable to save the change, so it is not a warning message, but an error.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    your source list records get created in a central system. if you delete an entry you create inconsistencies to your central system (and you may get this record back soon undeleted).
    Contact the guys who create the source list in this different system and let they maintain the block and distribute it to your system again with ALE.

  • Report to identify multiple vendors in source list?

    is there a standard t-code that may list multiple vendors (if they exist) for a range of source lists?  better to solve with abap query?

  • MPN Material - Source list not included issue

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a purchase order for a material which has a MPN material # specified in the source list. When I create the purchase order, I get the error "Source not included in list despite source list requirement".
    I do not get the error when I remove the MPN material # from the source list.
    I looked at MM03 for MPN material # and it looked correct.
    Please help.
    Nicky

    Hi
    There are 2 settings for source list requirment mandatory at PO.
    1) Material Master record > Purchasing view
    2) IMG>MM>Purchasing>Source list>Define at plant level
    if the setting is active then you have maintain the source list for that particular material.
    if the above setting are not there and still you are getting error then you have to check if any enhancements done .
    Hope it helps

  • Fix for iTunes and Windows not recognizing iPod after 7.7 upgrade...

    ..it worked for me!
    XP wanted drivers for the iPod, and I used the method in this doc with one exception:
    iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
    ...when the wizard came up and asked to look for the driver, I clicked "Search for the best driver in these locations" except instead of windows/inf I went to system32/drivers and found a subfolder with USBAAPL.SYS [the driver name] in the title... it was a hidden folder so you'll have to have them visible to see it. Using that folder as the target for the search picked it up immediately and then everything was fine.

    Hello Overdrive_king,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I'm assuming you also tried using different USB ports (preferably ones attached directly to the motherboard) as well as using a different USB cable as well just for good measure?
    If you choose Computer from the Start menu, does your iPod show up as a mounted drive there? What happens if you put it into disk mode using the instructions provided here.

    It might also help to try the other solutions mentioned in this article related to your issue as necessary (I know you have already tried a number of them).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369
    And lastly, it wouldn't hurt to remove and re-install the necessary drivers for your iPod.

  • Source list vendor

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    We have a problem with soruce list. In the source list there are two vendors maintained and one of them is marlked as fixed vendor, with MRP relevent 1 in the source list. we have two inforecords for the material from two different vendors. one of them is cheaper and that is why we marked this vendor as the fixed vendor in source list. Now when we run the MRP in MD04, the req gets generated but it does not pick either vendor from those two vendors. Why is it happening like this? Is there anything wrong? PLease let me know
    Thanks
    Anusha

    In MD04 show nº planning order or PO and  if the qty is same for tha requirement qty.
    Plase check your parameter MRP t-code MD41  in the fielde Planning mode:
    Planning mode
    Defines how procurement proposals from the last planning run are to be dealt with:
    The system reactivates unfirmed procurement proposals and, if necessary, adapts the quantity and date to the new planning situation. The BOM is re-exploded only for procurement proposals that are to be adapted.
    The system reactivates unfirmed procurement proposals and, if necessary, adapts the quantity and date to the new planning situation. The BOM is always re-exploded.
    The system regenerates unfirmed procurement proposals completely.
    Check too...your date last run MRP in MD06...this material is new or old?? if you already checked in ME03 ( Vendor List) , MEQ3 ( Quota) and Validity... the problem can be in the parameter of the MRP

  • Source List for Standard and Subcontracting Info Record

    Dear Sir and Madam,
    We have scenario where nart A could purchase with Standard PO or Subcontract PO.
    We  have following 2 Standard Info Record and 2 Subcontract Info Record.
    Standard InfoRec 1 for Nart A to Vendor 001 --Fixed Vendor
    Standard InfoRec 2 for Nart A to Vendor 002
    Subcontract InfoRec 1 for nart A to Vendor 003 - Fixed Vendor
    Subcontract InfoRec 2 for nart A to Vendor 004
    We have the problem here, how can we set the fixed vendor in Source List, for Standard PO using vendor 001 and Subcon using Vendor 003?
    Thank you very much,
    Regards,
    CW

    In source list only one vendor can be assigned.
    If u want to assign 2 or more vendor, try using Quota Arragement.

  • Source List Maintenance

    For a particular material we have a fixed vendor. Now we want to change the source to another vendor.
    We maintain it in me01. Still it is taking the fixed vendor. It is not showing all the source lists.
    Regards,
    Sudha

    Hi
    1) Check first you have created an inforecord for the new vendor.
    2) If yes then goto ME01 and click on generate button then click on delete entries radio button on the pop up message. Now all the source will be listed out.
    3) Mark the fixed indicator for the required vendor and block the other sources
    4) Also check if any quota arrangement exist for the fixed vendor.
    Quota arrangement has the highest priority followed by source list, outline agreement, Inforecord
    Hope it helps
    Thanks/karthik

  • Source List - MRP Run

    Hi all ,
    In our production server Source List is maintained for a material .
    The first line contains a vendor ( say Vendor1 ) with MRP relevant indicator 1
    2nd line contains another vendor (say vendor 2 ) with fixed indicator checked and MRP relevant indicator as 1 .
    1)For both vendor the date range is same
    2)No quota arrangement exists .
    But while MRP run for that material Vendor1 is automatically assigned instead of vendor 2 . (althoug vendor 2 is Fixed )
    What may be the reasons ?Please suggest .

    Hi,
    System doe not take care of "fixed" indicator in source list during MRP run as per OSS note 668764:
    1. Question:
    The fixed indicator is set for a source list record. Is this source list record preferred for a planning run?
    Answer:
    Only the source list records, for which the indicator 'Source list usage in materials planning and control' is set, are taken into account during a planning run; the fixed indicator is of no importance here. See Note 206684 for more information.
    Please also check the mentioned OSS note (206684)

  • Source list Collective processing

    Hi All,
         I have a scenario where i need to do Collective generation of Source list for few vendors using tcode ME05..
        As i have not used this functionality earlier, can you tell me in detail how to execute this in system ...
          Thanks
        Regards..
        Akkshaya

    Hi
    you generate the source list for several materials by using ME05.
    1.Enter the materials for which source list to be generated
    2.Enter the plant
    3.Select all records for Material and Plant (System should consider only outline agreement items, only info records, or both be taken into account)
    4. Enter validity periods
    5. Select  Exixting records option based on requirement
    Execute 
    A list of the source records to be generated is displayed. Already-existing source list records whose validity periods are thus changed are also listed.
    Select the source list records you want to include in the source list.
    <b>Fixed or blocked Source list records:</b> You can mark a source list record as "fixed" or block it. A "fixed" source represents the preferred source of supply, whereas a "blocked" source is one from which you are not allowed to order.
    Select the desired source list record. Then choose Edit -> Fix, or Edit -> Block.
    Choose  save to store the selected source list records for the displayed material in the source list.
    Exception messages are displayed by the system. Press ENTER to continue the saving process.
