Assign Source of Supply - Inforecord

Hello guys!
Do you know if can be possible to assign a source of supply at a Purchase Requisition but where the inforecord isn´t brought too?
Is there any IMG activity where i can customize this?
Now, if an inforecord exists for a certain vendor-material and i press "Assign Source of Supply" button, this inforecord is always showed.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
cecil

Hello,
Please maintain source list .
You define source list requirements at plant level. If a source list requirement exists, you must maintain the source list for each material before you can order it.
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 XXXX for material 100XX is ASA Company for the first quarter and BSB Co. for the second quarter of the year.
Select the plants for which you wish to specify a source list requirement
You use the source list to determine the valid source of supply at a certain point in time.
The source list contains all the sources of supply defined for a material and the periods during which procurement from these sources is possible
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.

What is the significance of Interlinkage as Source of Supply in SRM ?

Dear all,
When we send across a external requirement to SRM, then during the creation of shopping cart, it tries to determine a unique source of supply. It searches for available contracts , interlinkages and vendor lists.
My question is what is meaning of interlinakge? This has the details of Vendor + Product + Price.
Is this same as Purchasing Info record?
How is an interlinkage created in SRM?
Please provide links or clarification on significance of interlinakge.
Useful note for reference is 521458.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Srivatsa

Yes. you are correct
An interlinkage is a relationship in SAP SRM between a vendor and a product
used to specify a price. but note is very pld ..
It is also one of the source of supplies in SRM like contract , vendor list , inforecord.
in sc cockpit propose source of supply and you may get interlinkage if you maintained.

Assign Source of supply is not working for contract with material group

Dear Experts,
I have searched all the threads and gone through before posting my query. So i would ask moderators to go through the thread properly before rejecting this.
We have value contracts with respect to a particular material group without material and with item category W in the contract item, Please note that for the materials with this material group, the source determination is not set and source list is also not maintained.
When we create PR for the material with this contract, and when we click on assign source of supply contracts used to get popped up, but recently from few days, when we click on assign source of supply we are getting an error " no source found for this item ".
Can anybody help on this.
Regards

@ Biju,
As mentioned earlier, we are not creating PR with reference to contract.
first we are creating contract with item category W (material group), without material and plant details.
we create PR with or without material with account assignment K and with the material group in the transaction ME51N, and after inputting all the fields, we click on assign source of supply, it was proposing the existing contracts with respect to material group earlier, but it is not happening for particular material group(it is working for all other material groups)
Hope it is clear.
@ Dev Patra,
we are using DIEN-Service material types and we assign that particular material group to only service material type.
we have not ticked, source list in the material master, we donot have any source list for the materials under that material group.( please check the note 457110- question number 14.)

PO - contract as source of supply

Hi,
I am facing a problem while assigning a contract as source of supply to a PO item.
The contract is released and is available as source of supply. Once I enter the contract id and the contract item id in the PO item, the details like price, tax code etc get copied but the vendor does not get copied. I seems weird to me.
Could someone please help with this?
Thanks & Regards

How to Stop Auto assignment of Source of Supply in SC

Hi All;
We are using SRM7 classic scenario.
While creating a SC, the system automatically assigns a vendor in the source of supply if there is 1 contract or 1 inforecord.If there are multiple, the system will not assign but it will show them all so that the user will select one of them.
Our requirement: we need to stop auto assignmnt of source of supply in SC.
Thanks

Hi,
There is a source determine driver and FM in SRM. You shall find it in the forum.
Here you can change the behaviour and deassign the contract that is automatically assigned

Why in the SAP SRM books inforecord is not a source of supply in classic

Hi All
i have read many SAP Press books and materials but no where officially mentioned INFORECORD as source of supply but we could use INFORECORD as source of supply in the classic. Why SAP did not agree inforecord is a valid source of supply in any of the officical books.What could have stopped to write this point.Dfinetly some good meaning is there. Why SAP SRM definitions are missing.
for eg.by martin murray and srm materials.etc..
appreciate your thoughts..

Hi Muthu,
It's a good question. Indeed, I also couldn't find any documentation in the SAPhelp about the inforecord.
We call the backend system in the plugin function B46B_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI at the line:
* Get sources of supply from backend system for all items
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_SOURCEDETER_GETSOS_MULTI'
    DESTINATION lv_destination
    EXPORTING
      iv_find_contract      = iv_find_contract
      iv_find_inforecord    = iv_find_inforecord
      iv_read_price         = iv_read_price
    TABLES
      it_search_criteria    = lt_sos_find_be
      et_found_contracts    = lt_found_contracts
      et_found_inforecords = lt_found_inforecords
      et_return             = ct_return
    EXCEPTIONS
      communication_failure = 1 MESSAGE lv_msg_text

Assign Source of Supply for Services

Hi,
I understand that Materials has source list and the system can actually suggest possible vendors for the material via t-code ME25.
However, I am now dealing with services with service master defined and service conditions maintained. I can create PR via ME51 and assign source of supply but I can't do this for PO via ME25 as that is catered for materials only (even if I entered item category D, it shows as a material PO).
My question is, is there any default SAP transactions that allow me to create a service PO with the Assign source supply function? If no, what kind of enhancements can I look into to achieve this?
Thanks!

Hi,
In a normal PO there is no auto assignment of sources so I am not sure why you think that there might be for a services PO?
Remember that to create a PO, you have to specify the vendor first, so how can it assign a source automatically if you have to manually enter the source before you can do anything?
If you are creating a PO with reference to a requisition or contract, again there is no auto source allocation because the source is being taken from the requisition.
So you need to try to allocate the source to the requistion and not the PO

Assign Source of Supply at Header Level of SC for single Supplier

Hi Team,
We are in SRM7.0 and EHP4.
The requirement is : User is creating a SC for 50 line items to a single supplier. In SRM7.0 User not able to find the Button Assign Source of supply at Header Level. I know it is at item level and it is very painful from user point of you going to individual line item details and assiging the same Source of Supply 50 Times.
The design is Once Source of supply assigned. It leads to Auto PO after SC status changes to approved.
Please tell is there is a standard SRM7.0 Functionality to handle this requirement with out any BADI / Enahancement.
If not above, please tell how to enhace the same.
Thanks
Giri

Hi Masa,
As I Mentioned in my Initial thread. We are using Auto PO. Once the Shopping cart under go 2 step Approval Process. Once the status is completly approved, Auto PO is created.
Pre negotiated vendors for product commedities are available for the SC requestor to select and the list of supplier to Product commedities is available to requestor.
Request Process (SC) is mainly used from approval point and from analytics (reports) point.
1 st step approval - Finacial Approvers approve the SC.
2ns Step Approval - Buyer check the Price in SC as per Vendor Negotiated rate and Approves and Approved staus SC result in Auto PO to Vendor.
Business do not want change the above process and it is configured as per business and delivered. Only difficulty they are faceing is when creating SC for Same vendor with multiple line items. They need to go Individual Item details and assign the source of supply. It is pain full for them. If the SC is created for multiple line items to same vendor. They want to assign the vendor at header level of SC, Instead of going to Individual item and assign the vendor in SRM 7.0
Thanks

Validate (check) after PReq assign source of supply with ME57

Hi,
I want to know if it is possible to control or check the PReq after assign source of supply with ME57. My explanation, I have a release strategy on the u201CSource of supplyu201D if it is null. When I create a PReq with the MRP by default the release strategy appear because there is no Source of supply. If I go with ME52N and put a Source of supply my release strategy disappear but if I use ME57 to assign the release stay there until I use the transaction ME52N to control(check) it. Do you know if it possible to force the control(check) with ME57?
Regards.

Hi Duang,
When you create the PR manually , guess that you are not selcting the source list check box ( tick
in the ME51N screen ),hope this should be the reason for the difference in behavior.
Please select the tick box when you create PR in ME51N, then the manual PR also will not auto select
the Vendor. Please test & confirm the behavior after check box selected.

GOA not picked up as source of supply in R/3 when converting PR to PO

Hi
We are currently using SRM 5.0 extended classic scenario. Here we are using Global outline agreements which will get replicated to backend R/3 system and can be used as source of supply while converting a Purchase requisition to Purchase order. The aim is to use Global outline agreements instead of Info records which will be more flexible.
Once MRP run is done, based on requirement Purchase requisitions are created. Using ME57 we convert the PRs to Purchase orders by assigning source of supply. At this point I would expect the GOA to be picked up,whcih is created against this product. But this is not happening as of now.
Please let me know if there is configuration or prerequisites that need to be done for this.
Also when I am trying to assign the GOA manually in PR, it is throwing the error as 'Item category of contract does not match with Item category in PR', even though both has Item category as 'Standard'.
<< Moderator message - Everyone's problem is important >>

Hi
GOA is not source of supply Indeed.
whatever you have distributed the GOA as a Purchasing contract is a real source of supply.
if the contract is available in ECC , then it is a valid source of supply for your purchase request.
Can you use the same contract for any other manual / PM /PS purchase request?
Are you assigning same material contract to your purchase request ?
the problem is for only MRP PRs or all PRs.

Hi,
We are using classic scenario in SRM 5.0.
We are using desired vendor in the purchase requisition, whenever the Purchase requisition is moving into the SRM Sourcing cockpit. We are unable to see the source of supply.
Source of supply is missing in sourcing cockpit (SOCO).
desired vendor number which is not updating, instead it is showing empty.
I have found some BADI like BBP_SOS_BADI and BBP_SOS_BADI_ICC, this BADI will trigger when a shopping cart has contract GUID, but we donu2019t have contract for this purchase requisition.
Could you please tell me the BADI or user EXIT name, by using this BADI I can populate the populate the source of supply and vendor in SOCO.

Assign source of supply in PR from SO

I have a PR that automatically created from SO.
I have already created outline agreement for each material in PO and created source list (with fix indicator) too.
But when I click "Assign source of supply" button in PR, system ask me to choose between outline agreement and info record.
If I create PR manually with the same materials, the outline agreement will be assigned immediately after I click "Assign source of supply" button.
Is there any master data or config that make these PRs act differently?
Thanks for your help.

Supplier BP number on Cart entry screen (Sources of Supply / Service Agents

Hi,
Is it possible to get the system to allow the user to enter the supplier number instead on the supplier bp number on the Preferred Vendor field under Cart Sources of Supply / Service Agents?
Our user base are more familiar with the R3 numbers and get confused with the BP number. Any hints on exits or badis would be welcome!
Thanks.
Steve w.

1.) If you could replicate the Vendors from R/3 to SRM using "Transfer only R/3 numbers", then the system will allow you to use the R/3 numbers.
2) You can enhance the standard search help BBP_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY (I suppose, but should be similar) with your own logic to retrieve the SRM BP number based on R/3 numbers.
Hope this helps.

PR - unable to assign source of supply

Hi,
I have created purchase requisition and tried to assign source at "Source of supply" tab at item detailed section. But it's already graded (display only) out.
I have checked the "Screen Layout at Document Level" also. It was in optional mode only.
How can i make it as optional entry.
Could you pls guide me.
Thanks
Anilkumar Dalai

Hi,
What i can understand is that you have created a purchase requisition and now you want to assign a source for the item through auto source determination in PR change transaction(ME52n) by clicking on the assign source of supply tab in the item details in source of supply tab page.
If its so Pl. check in the check box " source Determination" at the top next to the PR No. and then try.
