Hi,
Source list is the list for the number of vendors for a material in a purchase org .You can also fix a vendor here.You can procuire the material from both the vendors creating aggrement( ME31K).If you have delivery schedule lines you can go for SA--and schedules for both of them but while creating the PO you need to refer the relevamt aggrement.If not you can aslo the use the functionality of quota AT MEQ1.Source list caters only to some generic needs.

Vendor update / generation in source list

Hi,
is there any solution that vendor update / generate in source list with reference to info record creation date.
standard system behave in a way to generate / update source list on current date of updation.
Regards,
Ali

Even I had the same problem. source determination in MRP is different when compared to source determination in PR. MRP just picks the first vendor in the source list no matter whether the other vendor is fixed or not.
Even SAP doesn't have proper answer on this issue in OSS note 206684.
As others said, you need to copy ME05 and create a new TCODE with different logic for source list date.

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

Vendor change - info record/source list

Hi,
I need help with the following please: Lets say a vendor goes out of business, is there a quick way to have all of their material directed to another vendor? Or must I create new inforecords and change sourcelists?
Thanks,
Rob

hi,
If you have any of the reference docuements made for the current vendor, then yes ofcourse you have to make the changes in it:
You have to make changes in:
1. Doc like schedule agreement, contract, PR, PIR etc....you can have to change your vendor here....
2. change the source list as per the new vendor....
And then generate the PO....
OR
You can have the Partner functions:
So that you can deliver the materials to the other one....and you can can pay on the given bank account...
ie. you can change the bank account in VMR....
But this is possible if you can have the same vendor name.....
Hope it helps...

How to add three batches for a single material during vendor return through

Dear All,
We have to sent back some stock to vendor through MBRL.This stock consist of two batches.But during MBRL i could able to enter only one batch.How can i give more batches in this screen.
Please give the inputs.
Thanks and regards,
deepti

If you are doing it with MBRL, then you have to specify a material document number.
So the posting can only have the same info as SAP could adopt from this material document.
You probably have to execute MBRL several times

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.

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,

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.

Reciept of multiple PO's into single Material doc

Hi,
As a standard function we can receive multiple PO's into a single Material Doc (Vendor is same in all PO).
Let me know is there a way/enhancement/exits to disable this function. So that only single PO can be received into a Material Doc.
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
The receipt is manually? (Transaction MIGO)
If so, try with an user exit to avoid multiple receipts.

Fixed Vendor without Source List

Hi Gurus,
My client wants to have a fixed vendor for the Procurement of Consumables which doesnt have a Material Master. I dont have source list also. But i want to make a particular vendor fixed for my purchasing. Is there any options available in SAP to do that?
Please advice regarding this.
Thanks,
Saakithyan

Regular vendor - Specifies that the material is to be procured from this vendor at client level, i.e. for the entire corporate group.
If you set this indicator, the regular vendor is suggested as the only source.
If you wish to work with the source determination facility for purchasing documents, it makes sense not to set the indicator so that the system suggests all available sources, not just the regular vendor.

SOURCE LIST DETERMINATION

Dear all,
          As i got the solution for the problem of "fixing the vendor" i thankful for that.
The problem is again regarding the source list determination as follows--
1) I maitained the inforecord for Material "X" vendors are -- "A" "B" "C"
2) I maitained the source list for Material "X" vendors are -- "A" "B" "C"( here i want the all 3 vendors are to be active for same period like from 01.04.2009 to 31.12.9999)
3) i fix the "A" vendor only.
          As i m going to make a purchase order by different then above three vendor system generates error.Now when i correct the vendor for material i.e i get the vendor list for that material from the vendor tab,i found the 3 vedors for that material A ,B & c.But as i only fix the vendor "A" system only allows the to make po bye vendor "A". no other two vendor allows in that PO. where as those vendors are assign to that..
          in short i want to make all 3 vendors as "fix vendor" for that material for same period.
Hope problem will be clear.
Hoping reply earlier,
Thanking you,
Manish.

dear sir,
           I understand what u mean,but the problem is that,my all 3 vendors are useable for specified time i.e 01.04.2009 to 31.12.2010. At the time being i cant say that ir i cant use any perticualr vendor for perticular time,likeweise follows,
sometimes the vendor "a" provides the rate for steel as 34.00/kg ,the same vendor offers the price 45.0/kg for same month whereas the vendor B" offering the price of steel for 40.00/kg.at that time it will be nothing to think about vendor "A",i will dorectly siwtch over to vendor "B" or "C",now if i have fox the vendor a for time period system should not allows me to capture vendor B" or "C" for purchasing,
Also i cant give any autorisation to user for block or fix the vendir to material or by making changes in source list.
please reply
Manish....
