Propose of Supply Not Found for External Requirement

Question

Hello Experts,
I have a problem where I can't found any source of supply after proposing via button "Propose Sources of Supply" but will work for requirements come from Shopping Cart.
Somehow I found below facts after comparing requirement document created from external and shopping cart with BBP_PD :
- From req created by SC, ORDERED_PROD in table CRMD_ORDERADM_I  have 40 digits format
- From req created by ext requirement, ORDERED_PROD in table CRMD_ORDERADM_I  have 18 digits format
Then I created PR with external material number to avoid leading zeros difference, but the problem persist. So, ORDERED_PROD number format is not the cause.
Have anyone got the same problem? What's the solution?
Sincerely,
Ted

Hi Ted,
In standard, system stores the product ID in internal tables with
leading zeros.
You have the option to suppress the leading zeros by configuring
SPRO setting
"Define Output Format and Storage Format of Product IDs".
This is an example of systems:
You can see in BBP_PD, if you click on item, there
is a table called CRMD_ORDERADM_I. You can see that PRODUCT_SRC_SYS
for this cart is displayed as SRPCLNT100. Therefore, as setting
for leading zeros is maintained in SPRO for system SRQCLNT100 and
not SRPCLNT100, leading zeros are being displayed to end user.
Usually, when systems are copied you should replace the logical system name using transaction BDLS.
Please take a look at the following notes: 446294 and 121163.
