Source list Collective processing

Hi All,
     I have a scenario where i need to do Collective generation of Source list for few vendors using tcode ME05..
    As i have not used this functionality earlier, can you tell me in detail how to execute this in system ...
      Thanks
    Regards..
    Akkshaya

Hi
you generate the source list for several materials by using ME05.
1.Enter the materials for which source list to be generated
2.Enter the plant
3.Select all records for Material and Plant (System should consider only outline agreement items, only info records, or both be taken into account)
4. Enter validity periods
5. Select Exixting records option based on requirement
Execute
A list of the source records to be generated is displayed. Already-existing source list records whose validity periods are thus changed are also listed.
Select the source list records you want to include in the source list.
<b>Fixed or blocked Source list records:</b> You can mark a source list record as "fixed" or block it. A "fixed" source represents the preferred source of supply, whereas a "blocked" source is one from which you are not allowed to order.
Select the desired source list record. Then choose Edit -> Fix, or Edit -> Block.
Choose save to store the selected source list records for the displayed material in the source list.
Exception messages are displayed by the system. Press ENTER to continue the saving process.

How the source list is created automatically

Hi all,
Cud any one tell me is there any way to create the source list automatically. as per my knowledge we need to give the tick for the plants we want the source list should be made mandatory while creating the material master.
How can be make the Source list field for the Purchasing view mandatory while creating the material master .

Hi,
You can have the system generate a source list for a material automatically. The system offers you the possibility of quickly entering or updating all source list records for a given source list.
With this procedure, a source list record can be created for each info record and/or each outline agreement item for one or more materials.
You can create the source list for several materials (collective procedure) or a single material (individual procedure).
Prerequisites
Before you create source list records, consider the following:
For which materials/plants are the source list records to be generated?
Are only outline agreement items, only info records, or both be taken into account? (Decision only in the case of the collective procedure.)
What is the validity period of the source list records to be generated?
Do source list records already exist for the materials for which you want to create source list records? If so, you must decide whether the old records:
May not be changed
Are to be deleted
Are to be excluded from the validity period of the generated source list records
Activities
Collective Procedure
With this procedure, you generate the source list for several materials.
Choose Master data Source list Follow-on functions Generate.
Enter the necessary data.
Create the source list.
A list of the source records to be generated is displayed. Already-existing source list records whose validity periods are thus changed are also listed.
Select the source list records you want to include in the source list.
Fixed or blocked source list records: You can mark a source list record as "fixed" or block it. A "fixed" source represents the preferred source of supply, whereas a "blocked" source is one from which you are not allowed to order. Select the desired source list record. Then choose Edit Fix, or Edit Block.
Choose to store the selected source list records for the displayed material in the source list.
Exception messages are displayed by the system. Press ENTER to continue the saving process.
Individual Procedure
With this procedure, you generate the source list for a single material.
Choose Master data Source list Maintain. The initial screen for the source list appears.
Enter the material and plant number. Then press ENTER to display the overview screen.
Choose Edit Generate records.
In the dialog box which appears, enter the validity period of the source list records to be created.
First determine how existing source list records are to be treated if their validity periods overlap with the one specified. To do so, set the appropriate indicator in the dialog box. Press ENTER . The source list is created.
Click to save the source list.

Automatic creation of source lists on contract creation

Hi,
Is there anyway to automatically generate a source list when a contract is created for the each line in the contract? I know that you can go to Item -> Maintain source list, but the business is reluctant to accept this solution since it is an extra step for each line item. Also we have talked about using ME05 to mass produce source lists, but they still have to maintain a database of materials that require source lists which changes often.
We are in the process of turning on the source list indicator on the material master to ensure that we only source from EPA approved suppliers.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

You can create a variant for the ME05 program RM06W003 and run it as job

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

Source List Validity Start Date

I have noticed that, if the source list validity start date and contract validity start date are same then, the contract price is not considered while creating PO and receive error message as "Source not included in list despite source list requirement"
If I change the validity start date of source list to one day before the validity start date of Contract then system is picking the contract price in PO and able to save PO successfully.
Is there any way to create PO even if the validity start date of source list and contract are same?

from OSS Note 44368 - ME51 ME57 Contract as source of supply
A contract that is valid on the delivery date but not on the current date is not taken into account in the source determination process.
Cause and prerequisites
This is programmed this way.
Solution
For reasons of upward compatibility, check will continue to be carried out on basis of current date.
However, if you wish the check to be against delivery date, you can implement the modification described under the advance corrections.
If Note 116464 is implemented in a 4.0B Release, use the advance correction from Release 4.5A, however, in Release 4.0B the program name is LMEQRF01.

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.

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.

IPod not showing up in source list

A friend of mine wanted me to revamp her iPod with my music, erasing all that she had. Problem is, iTunes isn't seeing the iPod. My computer is. It's coming up as Mass Storage Device, and not showing up in the source list on iTunes. And when I opened the "Mass Storage Device" is was empty with the exception of some empty folders. The weird part is, iTunes opens when I plug it in. I already updated my iTunes software and reset the iPod with that menu center button hold manuver, and restarted my computer a few times. All the other troubleshooting stuff needs the iPod to show up in the source list, which it's not doing. So yeah. Any help would be nice.

Where did she originally connect her iPod??? It could be in MAC format and thus not allowing your device to see it... See this KB Article to determine the device's format:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1335
Besides the disclaimer of music sharing, once you erase the content of her device and load your iTunes data on there it will be ok. But of course the next friends device that she hops onto will undo the process that you've done above.
An iPod is really meant for a single users PC/MAC and syncronizing thier library. This causes some of the issues that you are seeing here.
Hope that helps, and I'll end on the piracy harping...

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.

Source List v/s Info record

Hi ,
I have created a source list for a vendor , Material , plant and Purchase org combination.(This is NON FIXED source)
When I try to assign this source automatically (thry ME56) to a purchase req...... System is not showing me that source.
But If the corresponding info record is also created , system assigns it automatically.
Does it mean that in order to make a source list valid (so that sources can be appeared and assigned to PR) , it is mandatory to create corresponding info records.
Regards
Sandeep marwha

Hi,
The below are required(Must) for Auto PO Creation:
1. Auto Po tick in Material master
2. Auto Po tick in Vendor master
3. Info record
4. Source List.
If it is Fixed vendor , even ME58 step is not required...you can directly used ME59N...
If it is not a fixed vendor for that material,,,in ME58 you can choose(assign) any vendor and process the PO creation.
Thanks,

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

Purchasing Info Record and Source list

Hi all,
I am using purchasing info record along with a price for the vendor and material. This would get the net price into the Purchase order. Do i really need to create source list ? What will source list do for me ? Wouldn't having info record be sufficient ?
Looking forward to hear your suggestions.
Thank you.
Joyce

Hi Joyce,
If you have not maintained valid conditions in your Pur info record then price is picked from last purchase order through purchase order price history if customizing settings allow so (In your case if customizing settings allow and the net price 100 in the info record is not from valid conditions, price picked will be 250).
In the price determination process in PO system always first looks for pur info records with valid conditions if not found then it looks for last PO price.
There is also a parameter for default values for buyers called EVO. If you make settings in customizing for this parameter and tick the Chkbox for picking the last purchase order price in it and you attach this parameter to your user ID in the user-own data with PI value, then last PO price is picked as default value in the net price.

Source List -
The source list is used in the administration of sources of supply. It specifies the allowed (and disallowed) sources of a material for a certain plant within a predefined period. Each source is defined by means of a source list record.
The source list serves:
To define a source of supply as "fixed". Such sources count as preferred sources over a certain period of time.(For example, the fixed vendor for material 1 is X for the first quarter and Yfor the second quarter of the year.)
To define a source of supply as "blocked".(This means, for example, that contract 123 may not be used for a certain period of time.)
As an aid in selecting the preferred source during the source determination process.(For example, the vendor A is determined as the source for an item of a requisition dated 15th June relating to material 1.)
To block the external procurement of a material

BAPI or FM for Source List (ME01 TCode)

Hello,
         I have a requirement to upload master data for Source List which is T-Code ME01. Now, as there is a Table Control in it, we are having trouble using LSMW because when there is more than 1 record for the given Material Plant Combination, it fails to handle the 2nd Record. There is a table Control in the T-Code ME01 in which if we go by the Recording in LSMW, we would have the 2nd Record overwrite the 1st Record when we actually try to upload the Data.
       So, is there a BAPI by which we can achieve this requirement? Please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkata Phani Prasad Konduri

Hello Manjunath,
                              I have neither used BDC or BAPI Method to upload SourceList but used the LSMW-IDOC method using;
IDoc Type : SRCLST01
Message Type : SRCLST
Process Code : SRCL
Inbound Posting Program : IDOC_INPUT_SRCLIST
                             It worked fine for me. Try this out.
Thank You,

How to maintain the source List if record already exist to maintain ME01

Hi Folks,
I've a BDC pgm for t-code ME01(Maitain Source list). which is for creating new contract before expirting one. Here I am upload a TXT file which contains data like vendor, Plant, date(valid to-valid from), PurOrgn, Agreement ...
But program is unable to manage the for updating the source list. The program also runs into a scenario where there are 2 Fixed, MRP Rel. lines with Overlapping Validity Period.
The program also does not return a proper error message informing the user there is a problem updating the Source List u2013 program simply tell. the user the program is unable to process the file. When user tries to reprocess the upload file they are unable to do so since a Contract with the same conditions has already been created.
points will be allocated for good solution
Thanks in Advance,
Venkat

Info Recs and Source List

Hi Experts
I want to be able create a Source List for a small number of non valuated Material Masters which will be available when creating a P Req. The P Req will be priced by the creator and the P Req prices should flow through to the P Ord when adopted without being overwritten by an info rec price or previous P Ord price. Do you have any thoughts on this ?
Thanks in anticipation
Digidick

I doubt if standard SAP supports your required process, because SAP always give a first preference to Price Conditions from Info Record to fetch into PO..
If the Info record is available, SAP will not fetch the price from PR into PO.
However, you can look for any BAPI or OSS note
