Source list mandatory for RFQ.

Dear Gurus
Please let me know the how to do the source list mandatory for RFQ?
Regards
srinivas.

Hi
RFQ is vendor selection process where you are requesting the suppliers to send their quotation for a particular requirement based on the quotation received you will select the vendor by comparing the price & terms, conditions etc.
Once the vendor is confirmed as source os supply source list will be maintained to assist the external procurement.
Source list is to maintain the source of supply ( vendor ) for a particular Material & Plant after the vendor selection is carried out.
For example if you want to create a PR thru MRP the vendor will be picked from Source list automatically to the PR based on the settings in source list.
Hope you understood.
Thanks/Karthik

Source List Mandatory at RFQ level

Dear SAP MM Gurus,
We want to make source list mandatory at RFQ level. In standard, it's not possible.
I have also found out one thread on SDN, but there isn't any satisfactoy answer for it.
I have also tried to find out BADI / User exit for ME41. There are so many user exits, but none of them is workfing for my requirement.
I have tried function module - EXIT_SAPMM06E_012, but for this when i activate user exit, system gives error for "Dynpro not found".
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir Popat

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
My requirement is like this:
In t code ME41,when I am creating an RFQ, I will enter vendor code and then i will press "SAVE".
I want system to check for Vendor entered at the time of "SAVE". If vendor is maintained in source list, then only system should allow creation of RFQ.
If vendor is not maintained in source list, system should give error saying that "Please maintain source list, first" and RFQ should not be created.

Source list mandatory only for scheduling Agreement

Hi Gurus,
My client wants to make source list mandatory only for scheduling agreement. While creating scheduling agreement for a particular type and saving it should be mandatory. But for Purchase orders and contracts this is not required. If i do it through OME5 then it becomes mandatory for PO and SA both. Also if i set in material master it becomes mandatory for both.
Please let me know if there is way to do it.
Thanks and Regards,
Yuvaraj

It doesn't make too much sense, but... do you want to be sure (garantee) that the source list has been created and it is relevant to MRP when you have a schedule agreement? perhaps you can use a user exit when you save the schedule agreement to create the source list.
There is no standard functinality that's allow you to requirer the source list according the po type.
regards.

ME05 : Generate Source List only for regular vendor

Inforecord and source list

hi all,,
Can some tel me how to configure Inforecord and source list for my company code and plant ??
Thnaks

Hi All
I have a question in relation to this, (thank you Maniraj for the helpful comment)
If i want to maintain a source list, is it neccessary to _only_ maintain through ME01 and the Material Master (Purchasing Tab)
Or will the MM update from ME01 ?
I have also heard, (and need to clarify) Source List needs to activated / configured via SPRO >> Purchasing >> Source LIst >> Define... etc.
Is this correct, and if not done, will changes in ME01 and MM still function
Further, if SPRO... is activated, do Source Lists become mandatory for all materials across the plant.
See below
Mauiraj, your comment "Source list requirement indicates whether you want to make 'maintaining the source list' mandatory for a plant." By not activating this, will source lists still be maintained, only not "Mandatory".
thanks for your help
regards

Source list in SA

Dear Expert
when we maintain delivery schedule for Scheduling agreement for every item of new scheduling agreement system ask for source list can we make the source list optional for delivery schedule ,if so then how can we make it optional
Regards

hi,
Its not mandatory if you make it manually...
Even though if you wanna avoid source list, then do use inforecord, with the regular vendor indicator ticked...so that when ever you make the PO for the material, this vendor will be always picked..
This indicator is placed at client level..

Hi
Source list means list of sources (vendors)available for a particular material to procure.
The purpose of source list is for a material how many source are there to supply.
Steps:
1. while creating MM01 (Material Master) in the purchasing View in other data TICK the SOURCE LIST which makes it mandatory.
While creating Scheduling agreement you have to maintain source list in ME01
The following data are entered.
It contains material, plant,pur org, vendors with validity period from & to so that whether you can procure from the vendor or not.
Following T/Code activities in Material Management module.
Maintain source list - ME01
Display source list - ME03
Display changes to source list - ME04
Analyze source list - ME06
Reorganize source list - ME07
Generate source list - ME05
Display source list for material- ME0M
you make the system settings that are necessary for purchasing operations carried out using source lists.
Source list requirement for materials, It may be necessary to include possible vendors of a material in the source list before the material can be ordered.
The Source list requirement field in the purchasing data of the material master record indicates whether a source list requirement exists for a material.
You can define the Source list requirement at plant level in IMG. Logistics -->Materials management --> Purchasing --> Source list.
Here you can see the plants for which a source list requirement exists.

Source list requirement at document level

Hello!
Can anybody suggest is there user exit or badi to set source list requirement on purchase order document.
I have faced following situation: materials are procured from different external vendors in different plants, to generate PR documents from MRP with fixed vendors for particular plants and set prices in PO from info records that are valid on particular date, I need to use source list. When I set source list requirement on plant level, I have to enter source list for STO items to move materials between plants also, this is very time consuming. I would like to remove source list requirement from plant level and activate source list requirement for particular document type for external procurement.
Is there Badi or exit to set source list requirement on document level?
Thanx!
Brucke

why dont you set the source list requirment in the material master instead of plant in general.
then you just do not need to set the source list mandatory indicator for your STO materials.

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.

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 .
Regards,
Anupam
Edited by: Anupam Halder on Aug 10, 2009 8:23 PM

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)

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

Rahul.
