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..

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.

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

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.

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 VS Source list

We removed the fixed indicator in the source list .But still purchase requisition is considering the fixed vendor in the MRP run .
What might have the reason ? Any input will highly appreciated .
Thanks
JJ

Dear JJ,
In my understanding even if you have removed the Fixed vendor indicator,if you have assigned 2 vendors in the source list in
ME01 for the same material ,I mean if more than one source of supply exists for a material the system picksup the first vendor.
Correct me If I'm wrong on this concept.
Check and revert back.

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 .

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)

Source List for MRP Area

Is there a possibility to maintain source list for MRP purposes
at storage Location level? We receive requirements from a couple
of our subsidaries and we were consolidating this to be a single
requirement for our suppliers, however this has changed we have
to now show each subsidary's requirements individually. We
currently only use a single plant, previously we created
additional plants for this and maintained a separate source list
for each. Is this the best way to represent and run MRP for each
subsidary? Thanks.

Dear Kennedy,
Source list for Storage Location level not possible!!
An MRP area represents an organizational unit for which you can perform material requirements planning separately.
An MRP area can include one or several storage locations of a plant or a subcontractor. You can define MRP areas in a plant.
By defining MRP areas, you can perform MRP for each area. This means the right quantity of materials can be provided on time for each area, such as a production line, a storage location for spare parts, or subcontractor stock.

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 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.

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
