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 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

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

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.

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.

Is it not possible to create a PR with Fixed vendor without an Info-record

Hi,
We have a requirement in which data necessary for PR(Purchase Requisition) creation ( replenishment orders ) comes from a legacy system and we use the BAPI -BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE to create the PR's.
The problem is when we try to create PR by using plant in the field fixed vendor present in Source of Supply tab, we are getting the error message, "Inforecord for Vendor xxx and material xxxx does not exist ". This message is due to the plant given in fixed vendor field and missing info records. And we always use only "plant" as fixed vendor.
Is there any way to avoid the determination of info records based on fixed vendor?
Thanks in Advance.

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

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,

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

Why Fixed vendor is read without Souce List on MD14?

Dear Gurus,
Hi,
I am trying not to assign Fixed Vendor at MD14.
I created one Purchase Info Record for the material without source list.
And operated as below;
1. Execute MRP and Planned Order created
2. Convert Planned Order to Purchase Requisition
3. Then, Fixed Vendor is read automatically from Purchase Info Record.
When there are several purchase info record, Fixed Vendor is not assigned.
And also when PR is created via MRP, Fixed Vendor is not assigned from one Purchase Info Rec.
-> How can I avoid automatic assignment of Fixed Vendor for PR on MD14??
    Are some customization wrong??
AK

hi,
As mentioned in the note 157830, your system is working as designed.
There are however two possibilities to solve this issue :
1) In transaction ME15, flag for deletion all the related info-records,
   so that no fixed vendor is found when converting the Planned Order
   into Requisition.
2) Rewiew note 157830 which gives a solution for de-activating
   the automatic soutce determination when converting a Planned Order
   into a Requisition (in MD04 and MD14)
Hope the information helps you.

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 .
Regards,
Anupam

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)

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.

How the source list is created automatically

Hi all,
Cud any one tell me is there any way to create the source list automatically. as per my knowledge we need to give the tick for the plants we want the source list should be made mandatory while creating the material master.
How can be make the Source list field for the Purchasing view mandatory while creating the material master .

Hi,
You can have the system generate a source list for a material automatically. The system offers you the possibility of quickly entering or updating all source list records for a given source list.
With this procedure, a source list record can be created for each info record and/or each outline agreement item for one or more materials.
You can create the source list for several materials (collective procedure) or a single material (individual procedure).
Prerequisites
Before you create source list records, consider the following:
For which materials/plants are the source list records to be generated?
Are only outline agreement items, only info records, or both be taken into account? (Decision only in the case of the collective procedure.)
What is the validity period of the source list records to be generated?
Do source list records already exist for the materials for which you want to create source list records? If so, you must decide whether the old records:
May not be changed
Are to be deleted
Are to be excluded from the validity period of the generated source list records
Activities
Collective Procedure
With this procedure, you generate the source list for several materials.
Choose Master data Source list Follow-on functions Generate.
Enter the necessary data.
Create the source list.
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.
Fixed or blocked source list records: 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 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.
Individual Procedure
With this procedure, you generate the source list for a single material.
Choose Master data Source list Maintain. The initial screen for the source list appears.
Enter the material and plant number. Then press ENTER to display the overview screen.
Choose Edit Generate records.
In the dialog box which appears, enter the validity period of the source list records to be created.
First determine how existing source list records are to be treated if their validity periods overlap with the one specified. To do so, set the appropriate indicator in the dialog box. Press ENTER . The source list is created.
Click to save the source list.
