Info Record n Src list

Hi SAP Experts,
                        Cud u tell me the individual significance of
                         Info records and source list.
Regards
Ashok

Hi
Info record consists of all the information which is discussed with the vendor on a verbal basis
All this information is captured and stored in the info record. It captures information for a particular material wrt t oa particualr vendor
These are again 4 types
1) Standard -cpntains information for std PO created for materials and services which have/do not have master records
2) consignment: contains infomration about thematerial which are kept at orders premises at vendors own cost.it conatins the vendor with drawl price by the orderer from the  consignment stock
3) Subcontracting: mainly consisits of ordering information for subcontract orders.contains info aobut the vendors subcontracting pricve for assembling the component
4) Pipeline: contains inf oabout vendors commodity that is supplied through pipes like water ,oil etc 
This also has information additionla info like reminder days ,planned dwelivery time etc
And all these are discussed with the vendor well in advance,. These are entered into Iinfo record so tht there would be less of manual entry during procurement process
Source list :
source list mainly contains the infromation about the list of vendors who are available for that particular material
It captures atheinformation about al the vendors who have an agreement with that particualar Porg
i hope this gives you a fair idea
Award if useful

  • BRFplus and creation of info record and source list

    Hi there.
    I would like to use BRFplus to fill out MM values and after that automaticly create info record and source list for this MM record. The first step is ok, but creating IR and Sourcelist I am not sure. What is the best way to do so?
    -> Calling FM? If so how should I use the Result Data Object and Dispatcher field in BRFplus?
    Thanks in advance.
    Per Zanchetta

    Hi,
    Yes could call FM using BRF+ Procedure Call-Function Module. And map the exporting parameter (results of FM) to BRF+ ruleset parameter and do the further processing.
    When you assign FM name then in below container UI you can add all required parameters using "Add Parameter" button.

    Hi ,
    SproMM-Purchasing -Source ListDefine Source List Requirement at Plant Level
    If u mark the indicator then the Source list is mandatory for all the materials procured.
    If u want for a speciic material , mark it in purchasing view of Material Master.
    Inorder to create a source list , inforecord is mandatory -- this is by default Standard SAP .

  • Info record and source list

    Hi
    We have two info records for one material and source list is not being maintained.
    What will be the implications in this scenario??
    Regards
    Chitra

    Hi,
    If two info. record exists and none of them are marked a fixed vendor, then at the time of PR creation you will be offered two sources for the material and you will have to manually choose one source.
    Hope this clears your doubt.

  • Purchasing Info Record and Source list

    Hi all,
          I am using purchasing info record along with a price for the vendor and material.  This would get the net price into the Purchase order.  Do i really need to create source list ?  What will source list do for me ?   Wouldn't having info record be sufficient ?
         Looking forward to hear your suggestions.
    Thank you.
    Joyce

    Hi Joyce,
    If you have not maintained valid conditions in your Pur info record then price is picked from last purchase order through purchase order price history if customizing settings allow so (In your case if customizing settings allow and the net price 100 in the info record is not from valid conditions, price picked will be 250).
    In the price determination process in PO system always first looks for pur info records with valid conditions if not found then it looks for last PO price.
    There is also a parameter for default values for buyers called EVO. If you make settings in customizing for this parameter and tick the Chkbox for picking the last purchase order price in it and you attach this parameter to your user ID in the user-own data with PI value, then last PO price is picked as default value in the net price.

    Source List -
    The source list is used in the administration of sources of supply. It specifies the allowed (and disallowed) sources of a material for a certain plant within a predefined period. Each source is defined by means of a source list record.
    The source list serves:
    To define a source of supply as "fixed". Such sources count as preferred sources over a certain period of time.(For example, the fixed vendor for material 1 is X for the first quarter and Yfor the second quarter of the year.)
    To define a source of supply as "blocked".(This means, for example, that contract 123 may not be used for a certain period of time.)
    As an aid in selecting the preferred source during the source determination process.(For example, the vendor A is determined as the source for an item of a requisition dated 15th June relating to material 1.)
    To block the external procurement of a material

  • Source List v/s Info record

    Hi ,
    I have created a source list for a vendor , Material , plant and Purchase org combination.(This is NON FIXED source)
    When I try to assign this source automatically (thry ME56) to a purchase req...... System is not showing me that source.
    But If the corresponding info record is also created , system assigns it automatically.
    Does it mean that in order to make a source list valid (so that sources can be appeared and assigned to PR) , it is mandatory to create corresponding info records.
    Regards

    If it is Fixed vendor , even ME58 step is not required...you can directly used ME59N...

    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

    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 without info record

    Dear.
    Can I create a source list (ME01 trx.) without the info record ?
    Thanks.

    In what system are you? still in SAP ECC6 or in an earlier release?
    How do you maintain the source list, copying or manual entry?
    is your source just an external vendor, or is it a vendor with plant assignment, or do you just enter a plant number as source?
    Can it be that you set the indicator for fixed source or MRP relevant? in this case you have to have an info record, as a source assignment will be done from MRP run and can be used for auto PO creation.

  • Generate Source List - Including Info Records

    Hi!
    I am generating source lists.  Does anyone have an understanding of the "Including Info Records" check box on that screen.  I was told not to check it, but I can't help be curious as to what happens if I do or don't check it.
    Regards,
    Judi

    Hi,
    the system will check for info records and if it finds one, the source will be added to the source list.
    It is normally flagged because this is exactly what you want to do. (i.e. generate the source lists on the basis of the info records athat are there)
    If you leave it unflagged then only outline agreements etc. will be added to the source list.

  • Difference between source list and info records

    Dear All,
    What is the difference between Source List and Info Records?
    Thanks N Regards
    Anandasiva

    Hi,
    The source list is the list which shows the sources from which you can procure the material. If you have ticked the source list requirement in the material master, then you can procure the material only from the vendors mentioned in the source list.
    In Inf Record, you maintain the data for a material supplied by a vendor. e.g. Material price, tax code, other conditions,, buyer code, delivery & payment terms.
    Hope your requirement is fulfilled.
    Reward points if the answer is helpful.

  • How to deactivate/ignore R/3 info records when creating Shopping Cart?

    Hi all and thanks for reading...
    We have the requirement of ignoring/deactivating R/3 info records when creating Shopping Carts SRM , so that no Vendor is proposed in transactions BBPSC01/BBPSC02.
    At the moment, when info records exist in backed, system is proposing vendor and other data and we want them to be completely ignored, both in classic and extended classic scenarios.
    How can we accomplish that? Is it possible to use BBP_SOS_BADI or is this BADI only valid for SRM local sources of supply?
    Has anybody had the same problem and solved it before?
    Thanks in advance for your help, regards
    David

    Hi  David
    Inforecord  is only source of supply for classic scenario only.
    Find and Check Sources of Supply
    Use
    With the Business Add-In BBP_SOS_BADI, you can search for and check sources of supply according to your own rules. These sources of supply include contracts, vendor list entries and product linkages. For this, the customer fields of the shopping cart or purchase order are transferred to the BAdI.
    Standard settings
    The BAdI provides the following methods:
    1. BBP_SOS_INDEX_UPDATE_CHECK
    Use: Check and update contract items in the source of supply table.
    2. BBP_SOS_SEARCH
    Use: Search for sources of supply according to your own rules.
    3. BBP_SOS_CHECK
    Use: Check and filter the sources of supply found by the standard search according to your own rules.
    4. BBP_SOS_PD_CHECK
    Use: Carrying out your own additional checks when creating a shopping cart document item with an assigned contract.
    Activities
    Implement the BAdI if you wish to determine or check sources of supply according to your own rules.
