Hi Narayana,
A list of available sources of supply for a material, indicating the periods during which procurement from such sources is possible.
Every source of supply is stored in a source list record, together with its validity period.
The source list record uniquely identifies the source of supply, that is, in the SAP system, a vendor, an internal plant, or an outline agreement item, and facilitates determination of the applicable source for a purchase requisition at a certain time.

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I can see it in iTunes in the source list, but after selecting it, there is no summary or anything to configure my sync options. I just see 'iPhone' written. What can I do to fix this?

I just updated my iPhone and my iPad to iOS 5.
Restoring the backup just worked fine as well as syncing the music and videos, but my Apps weren't synced at all.
With my iPhone I got it done, after I installed some of my apps using the cloud and suddenly the all were installed during the next sync with my iTunes. All the stored data of my apps were on the iPhone, so I didn't loose anything.
But with my iPad, this didn't work as well. I seem to have to install all apps by my self from the cloud.
But my major problem is, that when I connect my devices to my Mac Book Air, they are shown in the source list, but except for showing 'iPhone' or 'iPad' I see nothing. I can't configure any sync options, so I am not able to do change or do anything.
When updated to iOS 5 I used to restore the backup from before updating my iPhone/iPad in iTunes.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update or restore.
You should also be syncing your contacts to your computer regularly. They hsould be in whatever program/service that you have selected to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

Automatic creation of Source list

Hi All,
My requirement is to create a source list after a material and a Purchase Inforecord is created. I have heard that there is a Program in standard SAP which I can run to create a Source list right after a Purchase inforecord is created.
We have an enhancment to create Purchase Info records and we want to include this source list program at the end of this enhancment.
Any thoughts will be helpful.
Regards
Shane.

Hi All,
Is there any BADI available to mark all the vendors as Fixed vendors in the Sourcelist using ME05. I am sure we can Goto ME05 to create sourcelist collectively for all the materials in a plant, but besides that I want them to create as Fixed vendors. To do this user has to go into the transaction and select all records and hit the tab FIX to set it for all records.
As everytime a PIR is created, this Sourcelist program gets triggered and created with a Fixed vendor.
Thank you all for your responses
Shane

Enhancement to bypass "Source not included in list despite source list req"

Dear Experts,
When the indicator source list requirement is maintained in the material master, the system will only allow creation of a purchase order if the source is maintained in the source list (t-code ME01). If its missing we will get an error message when creating or chaging PO with message :"Source not included in list despite source list req".
Is there a enhancement through which we can influence the error message for PO's of type stock transfter order? I tried searching for one but couldn't find a appropriate one.
Had look at ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST & ME_PROCESS_PO also but they were not much useful.
Thank You.
Best Regards,
SP

so what you actually want is: source list is obligatory for a combination of plant / purchase order type / material number.
there's no customizing this.
actually, i have difficulties in accepting your search for an exit/enhancement because the configuration of your system does not match your business process = why do you want to avoid an error message in case of a STO scenario where the source list entry is missing?? either you have defined source lists obligatory on plant level - then see to it, that the source lists are maintained in the plant (you can mass generate it using ME05) or it is not ... in which case you will have to train your users accordingly ...
please do not take offense - none is intended - but i wonder why one would make a thing mandatory, only to circumvent the obligation by (intransparent) programming.

Problem creating source list

Hi
We are on ECC 5.0 and in one of our ABAP programs create a PIR as a first step using ME11 BDC call and then go ahead to create a sourcelist for the material + plant and the vendor ( for which PIR was created in the first step ) .
To create source list we use the following function modules ( fms ) in sequence
ME_INITIALIZE_SOURCE_LIST
ME_DIRECT_INPUT_SOURCE_LIST
ME_POST_SOURCE_LIST_NEW
What we observe is that - the ME_DIRECT_INPUT_SOURCE_LIST fm always raises an abort message - ' No PIR exists for the material and vendor ' even though PIR is created in the first step and we check for its existence before we call the fms for the source list. However if we introduce a wait for upto 15 seconds after the PIR has been created the sourcelist creation goes through.
Any idea why the above is happening. Similar situations faced with source list creation - shared is appreciated. Correct answers helping me solve this problem will be promptly rewarded

Hi Karthik,
System takes some time to COMMIT all the work thats why it's happening.
Keep the WAIT FOR UP TO <reasonale seconds value> SECONDS in your code.

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.

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.

Hi,
I want to use source list in RFQ.While creating RFQ for a material,system should give the list of sources which now I am able to see in the enviornment tab but iam not able to select by means of double clicking or any other means.Is there any way to select multiple vendors from the source list tab and generate RFQ's against the selected vendors

I had also come across the Similar requirement. After much R&D I found that this is not possible.
You ave to enter the Vendor code manually.

System not checking the source list while creating Scheduling Aggrement

Dear Gurus,
when i create a PO for a material(XYZ) which is not having a vendor(100) in the source list the system throws me a error message sayin that the vendor(100) is not maintained i the Source list.
but the same is not happenin when i create a Scheduling aggrement.
Can you please advice me which setting i am missin here?
Thanks...
Kumar

Hi,
Are you trying to create the Scheduimg agreement for the same plant as that of the Purchase order?
As "Source list mandatoty" check box is in the plant specific view of Material master,it is possible that it is not ticked in case both the plants are different.
Please check & advise.
Thanks & regards,

Source list mass blocking of vendor

dear all,
ply give me transaction code for source list in which i can block vendors.
i have created an LSMW tool also but it creates an double entry in the transaction ME01.
we have even crated BDC but there also same error is occuring.
so is there any other ways for doing mass changes
regards
amey

One option is thru ME05 transaction, which is generate source list.
You get a list, there you can filter (e.g. by vendor) and then set block indicator.
Alternative, if you just want block the vendor, then use MK05 and block this vendor for procurement,
And about your LSMW and BDC, you are just not hitting the existing source list records, hence you create new ones. You probably have to enhance the key. Lookup table EORD to see what you may need to hit an existing record.

Source List (Error message 06 722)

Hi all,
1.the material being ordered has the source list requirement flagged in the material master in purchasing view.
2.source list has been maintained(with a same vendor in several contracts in different periods)
3.both above belonged to a same plant 1000.
when ME21N, I input vendor, material, hope it can find the contract I maintained in the source list, unfortunately, the error message 06 722 displayed!
but there is no problem if I manually enter a contract number in ME21N, i.e, I can save the po.
my question is:
is it standard by design?
as I know, when I create PR, tick "source determination", it can find the proper source if I maintained a correct source list.
but in ME21N, it seems the system cannot find the proper source unless I manully input the contract number!!!
Error message 06 722
Source not included in list despite source list requirement
I have read

no help...
thank you in advance.

Check the plant you entered for the item.
Maintain the source of supply in the source list for this material/plant combination:
1. Select the item.
2. Select Environment -> Source list.
3. Enter the corresponding material and plant.
4. Maintain the data for the source of supply and then select Save.
5. Select Mark in order to get the data for the purchase order that was created.
6. Exit the purchase order and restart the SAP ordering transaction.
7. Select Check.
hi,
it is not relevant....

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
