Maintain/ change Source list

Hi ,
I am in process of creation of Source List.
I have entered two suppliers for a material in source list , Info record is available for one supplier - material combination but for another supplier , info record is not maintained.
System allowed me save both the records time but if I try to make changes by making second vendor (for which info record is not available) as fixed vendor , system is prompting me an Error message
"Info record for vendor 900052 and material 50000311 does not exist.Message no. 06341
Diagnosis
A prerequisite for a source list record or a quota arrangement item is an info record. The system was not able to find an info record for the vendor, material and plant."
So does it mean it is mandatory to have info records to make a vendor fixed source vendor ONLY or for non fixed vendors also , this condition is manadtory.

hi,
it is confirmed thet if you make any vendor fixed in SL then it is compulsory to maintain info record.

What are the disadvantages of maintaining the source list?

Hi,
I understand that once source list is activated for plant in customizations, it has to be maintained for all the materials which are extended for the said plant, Is it true? Can I maintain only for selected materials?
I also understand if it is maintained for material then, we can not create PO for other source for which it has not be maintained in source list.
Thanks in advance,
Satish

hi
There are no disadvantages if you maintain source list. Infact it helps lot of other functionalities other than purchasing. if you make source liost mandatory then it it required that for that particular material you need to have sourcelist in Txn ME01. You can have list of vendors who are approved and put all of them in the source list for the material. Yes you can always have independent sourcelist for a single material. Unless until you make it mandatory in customising there is no problem in PO creation. If you have made it mandatory and you wish to create a PO for a new vendor who is not there in Source list then it is not possible to create a PO. However you can add the new vendor in the source list and go on creating the PO.

How to trigger Material CIF change pointers when changing Source List

I need to trigger a Material Change pointer (CIFMAT) creation when the Source List is updated for that material. In BD52 (ALE configuration) table EORD is not an option for CIFMAT message type, so by standard ALE this can not be done automatically. I could not find any BAdI/Userexit which will help me to create a material master change pointer so that the Material (Product) will be sent to APO via the CIF when the Source List in R/3 is changed.

Hi , Can you please check user exit CIFMAT01 function module EXIT_SAPLCMAT_001.You can use this enhancement to influence the logic according to which material data from SAP R/3 is mapped to APO product interface data.
I suggest to put logic in user exit to check table source list table EORD changes & trigger CIF for material master.You can pull change data from table CDPOS using EORD table reference & material object value details.
Based on change record CIF user exist should trigger material CIF run and feed to APO.
Hope this solution will work in your case.thanks

Inforecord and source list

hi all,,
Can some tel me how to configure Inforecord and source list for my company code and plant ??
Thnaks

Hi All
I have a question in relation to this, (thank you Maniraj for the helpful comment)
If i want to maintain a source list, is it neccessary to _only_ maintain through ME01 and the Material Master (Purchasing Tab)
Or will the MM update from ME01 ?
I have also heard, (and need to clarify) Source List needs to activated / configured via SPRO >> Purchasing >> Source LIst >> Define... etc.
Is this correct, and if not done, will changes in ME01 and MM still function
Further, if SPRO... is activated, do Source Lists become mandatory for all materials across the plant.
See below
Mauiraj, your comment "Source list requirement indicates whether you want to make 'maintaining the source list' mandatory for a plant." By not activating this, will source lists still be maintained, only not "Mandatory".
thanks for your help
regards

MRP area in Source list

Hello
Can anyone tell me how the MRP Area field (BERID) is maintained in source list (transaction ME01). In my system it is greyed out?
We are running MRP at MRP Area level and I was hoping that this field would allow me to maintain source lists at this level.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Sue

Hello Sue,
The MRP area field will appear if you are planning with MRP option 2 - Record relevant to MRP. Sched. lines generated automatically.
You can see help document below explaining this process:

MRP - source list!!

Hi All,
I have two vendors in the source list. I have fixed the second vendor in the source list.
When I run the MRP for the material the system assigns the first vendor to the PR and not the second vendor which is fixed!!
This is something strange. The MRP run should always pick the fixed vendor as per my understanding.
Is this a timing issue? Is it that the MRP only considers master data that I have created yesterday?
I say this because in certain cases when I have maintained the source list or the quota arrangement it was effective only the next day and not on the same day!! Is there any specific config related to MRP for this?
Regards,
Vishal

hi,
A.check for the few things:
1. Always remember the source determination is in this way:
a. quota arrangement
b. source list
c. outline agreement
d. Inforecord
Now check whether there is any exsisting vendor record for the quota arrangement...
B. Check the validity period of the source list...
C. check whether there is A vendor ticked or mentioned as "Regular vendor"
D. Also check whether the B vendor for whom you want the MRP to run, is indicated as MRP relevent or not...with the MRP indicator in the source list...
Check these parameters..

Source list Vendor fixed!

Hi All,
I have maintained a source list for a material with a contract in the source list and the vendor fixed. I have also maintained it as MRP relevant (by having MRP indivcator as 1). The Source list check box in the material master is checked.
Now when I run the MRP for this material I do not have the contract and the fixed vendor form the source list in the PR generated.
I have also tried by maintaining an inforecord (though it doesn't seem related).But it soe
Am I missing something here? Is something missing in the PP configuration?
Please guide. My client wants the contract and the fixed vendor in the sorce list automatically picked in the PR generated by the MRP run.
Regards,
V S

Hi,
What you should do to check if your source of supply is properly set is to manually create PR and assign this contract source of supply to your PR. If the source of supply is not accepted, then SAP will populate the related error message.

Source List for Material Group

Hi All,
How do I maintain a source list for a material group.? Since ME01 requires a material, I cannot create source list in this tranasction.
The client want a the Source (for material Group) to be assigned automatically in PR assignment step.
Again, within a material group there can be several infor records, For example:
Mater Group: Office Supp.....I can have two infor rec for the same vendor....one with "Short Text" Notepad and another info rec with "Short Text": Paperclips. Or the second info record could be a different vendor also.
How could the system know which one to assign as a source since it's the same material group (one for Notepads and the other for paperclips)??
Thanks in advance

Hi duke,
In SAP we have a choice of creating source list for a "Material Group ". Following is the method.
You may have the outline agreements related to material group rather than a single specific material - For ex. outline agreement with a item category M( Material unknown) or W ( material group).In doing so you can decide whether to exclude or include certain materials of the relevant material group by means of the source list.
To create the source list for a material group proceed as follows.
1) On the outline agreement overview screen, select the items for which you wish to enter the source list record & choose Item --> Maintain source list
2) To exclude the particular material keep the "Exclusion" indicator set against a material with a validity period.
I hope this will be useful to you.

Pick UOM from Source List

Hi,
We have an issue while carrying out replenishment.
The article concerned has got an ordering unit as CAR (which is 12 Ea)
Target stock is 24Ea and reorder point is 12Ea.
Now when stock is 11Ea the replenishment process will pick up this article, as stock has gone below reorder point.
But the order placed is for 1 CAR. The vendor is ready to supply this item as EA for this site and so we require the Purchase order to suggest 13 Ea instead of 1 CAR. This is a requirement for just this site.
If we maintain in source list (ME01) for the site, article and vendor combination, Ea as the Order unit then in Purchase order can we recall Ea instead of CAR at the time of replenishment orders ?
Hope I have made myself clear.
Regards
Govind
Edited by: Govind Ramesh on Oct 29, 2011 5:36 PM

Hi,
Appreciate your responses.
Now for making the UoM in the Info record as EA would then make it EA for all the sites.
We just want it to be for one site as they are being supplied in EA.
This is the reason that the option in source list maintenance was asked.
Is there any way we can create priority for the UoM in the source list for Aritcle/Site/Vendor combination in comparison to the order unit in Info record ?
Regards
Govind

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.

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
