Sourcing - Sources of supply.

Hello Experts
Could you all please tell what are the different source of supply can be used in classic, extended classic and standalone scenario.
Also let me know, what are the sources of supply can be replicated from the backends and their respective programs.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Santosh,
In SRM source of supply will be assigned in shopping cart level, sourcing cockpit  or in PO if a PO created directly without SC (possible only for a professional purchaser role) based on the implementation scenario here is the details information:
Extended classic Scenario:
Source of supply in SC:
1. Source will be copied from catalog if you add shopping carts from catalog
2. Source will be prompted in shopping cart if there is already a contract available for that product category
3. If SC is not soco relevant then after approval PO will be created in held status, where buyer can assign vendor
Sourcing cockpit:
1. Buyer can assign a vendor
2. Buyer can assign a contract
3. Buyer can create a RFx (bid / auction) with reference to SC and later that can be converted into a PO / contract
Sourcing in PO (In case PO is created directly)
Here buyer can assign a vendor
Buyer can enter vendor & contract if contract is available (should be created for same vendor / location & product category combination)
Classic Scenario:
SRM shopping cart:
1. Source will be copied from catalog if you add shopping carts from catalog
2. Source will be prompted in shopping cart if there is already a contract available for that product category
PR / PO in ECC:
1. If a supplier list is maintained then supplier / contract will be picked from the supplier list
2. Buyers can process the PR / PO and assign a source of supply
Standalone / Local scenario:
Same as Extended classic scenario (source of supply assignment)
Replication:
Except the local scenario: Vendor master data can be replicated / update  from ECC to SRM using BBPGETVD / BBPUPVD programs
Contracts can be maintained in SRM (contract management) and same can be used as a source of supply in SRM / ECC (SRM 7.0 central contract) or separate contacts for SRM i.e. local contract & ECC i.e. GOA's (In case of SRM 5.0 version)
Also, you can import the contract from ECC to SRM via initial upload program.
Hope above information will provide an overview about the source assignment / replication process.
Regards,
Krish

  • Sourcing from multiple supplier

    Hello Guru,
    We have one material that needs to be sourced from two suppliers. One in US and other is in Canada. Is there a way to order from these two different suppliers on a rotational basis? Is there a way to order from the US supplier every 3rd or 4th order and other times from Canada? If there is way, can you please give me the details steps to configure this. Can quota arrangement be used for this? Thanks so much.

    Hi
    Yes you can use quota arrangement for this.

  • Logical Table source source query

    In OBIEE 10g we can have multiple logical table sources and we can also add multiple tables into a single logical table source(logical table source source). I wanted to know the difference between doing so and having multiple logical table sources for each logical source.
    Hope I made myself clear.
    Cheers
    Rem

    Hi Rem,
    When data is duplicated across different physical tables add them as separate LTS with column mapping pointing to most economical sources. Specifying the most economical source is about the idea that a single column exists in more than one table, based on the column mappings BI server picks up those LTS's which could satisfy the request with minimal joins.
    When the data is not duplicated add them in a single LTS source. When the physical sources are added in a single LTS, you have the flexibility of using outer joins. But specifying a join as outer join makes BI Server to include this source even if its not required otherwise when the join is inner, the sources will not be included if not required to satisfy the query.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks!

  • Sourcing 7.0 -- Supplier Type

    Hi ,
    In Sourcing 7.0, there is new functionality ' Supplier Type ' . It is a tab in the Workbook.

  • Sourcing and source of supply - when does it happen?

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody tell me how the sourcing / source of supply assignment works in standard classic scenario?
    This is the situation;
    Classic scenario.
    Price and vendor (and maybe even info record nr) are known in the internal catalog.
    Is the standard process (not sure if standard is the right word ) that you would transfer the price and vendor to the shopping cart? (price is needed for approval)
    Or can you also source already in the SHC? And get the price directly from ECC info record?
    Or is this sourcing done in the PO and not yet in the SHC?
    Are there any best practices on this? (sourcing / assigning directly from backend can prevent difference between catalog price and change price in info recordu2026delta due to timing)
    Any ideas or setups on how you did it could be helpful, so please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,

    Can anybody tell me how the sourcing / source of supply assignment works in standard classic scenario?
    This is the situation;
    Classic scenario.
    Price and vendor (and maybe even info record nr) are known in the internal catalog.
    Internal catalog is totally different. Sc can be created via catalog also.
    nowadayas you can transfer info record to MADM and you can utilise be specific what is your internal catalog.
    Q1:-Is the standard process (not sure if standard is the right word ) that you would transfer the price and vendor to the shopping cart? (price is needed for approval)
    A1:- so this purchase inforecord price or contract price will not be considereed for sc approval process via internal goods and services.
    Q2:- Or can you also source already in the SHC? And get the price directly from ECC info record?
    A2:- while creating PO sc takes that proce from info record and creates a PO with info record/ contract price .while ordering cart , sc just takes material price.
    Or is this sourcing done in the PO and not yet in the SHC?
    PO will be created by the purchaser after assigning the vendor ,
    Are there any best practices on this? (sourcing / assigning directly from backend can prevent difference between catalog price and change price in info recordu2026delta due to timing).
    you can not change inforecord price in srm via sc.

  • Retail:doubt in supply source determination

    Hi experts,
                      I know in supply source determination if supply source is vendor it will look for info record and if the supply source is supplying site then it will look for Site (DC).But my doubt is on which basis it will search for "vendor" and for "supplying site (DC) " in "supply source determination" topic.Where we actually do this.and find this topic.Hope it is clear and simple and expecting clear and simple answer for you.Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Sandhya

    Hi Sandhya,
                The  standard deifinition goes like this...    
    Supply source determination is part of purchase price determination and therefore
    takes place at the beginning of the sales price calculation. It is used to determine the
    vendors (sources of supply) for the selected articles and organizational levels. It uses
    the system settings to do this. Both external and internal vendors (distribution centers)
    can be sources of supply. If purchase price determination type A (standard) is used,
    this price determination is performed by means of a purchase price calculation schema
    in the case of an external vendor and by means of a pricing procedure in the case of
    an internal vendor
    NOTE :If multiple vendors are found for an artricle,system looks for the regular vendor flag,and then source list requirement,and then supplying region is checked for that particular article.
    You can also refer to the following link for more information :

  • How to select the vendor from the source list in the PO(me21n) screen ??

    Hi
    How to select the vendor from the source list in the PO(me21n) screen.
    Is there any Sources of Supply tab in the PO just like we have in the PR.
    I don't want a PO raised from a PR which has got the Vendor assigned to it already.
    Or the SAP doesnot provide the option of Source list/Assign source/Sources of Supply .....in the PO.
    Kindly reply

    There is not any facility available for Source Determination in PO. Only you can select the line item and click Menu Environment > Source List and view the list of sources available for the material but you can not chooss and assign. If you wan to assign the vendor then change the vendor already entered in PO and put the desired vendor.

  • Sourcing Strategy based on Quantity Price Breaks and Risk

    The customer would like to optimize the supply chain cost by considering the quantity based price breaks at Raw Material Level and model the risk to source strategically with suppliers at SKU# Level and optimize the cost across the supply chain Network from Raw Material to FG
    Does SNO support modeling price breaks along with Risk associated by SKU# into cosideration to source raw material strategically?
    The FG cost is based on which Supplier the raw material is sourced from as the downstream processes depend on the raw material source.
    I do see similar capability listed on Llamasoft website w.r.t Strategic Sourcing. I would like to know if this capability is supported by SNO? If so how is it modeled in SNO?

  • ROS - SRM Vs, Vendor management -E-Sourcing

    Hi all
    How vendors are screened in e-Souricng in Vendor management arena. I learnt that e-sourcing too accept and manage vendors .
    Supplier screening is very important in procurement busisness.
    Is it like Registration of suppliers (ROS) in SRM?
    Are after created a vendor in e-sourcing , will u push to ECC or SRM. How vendor data are sync with Backend systems like ECC /SRM.
    really vendor data relate with accouting data will be stored in ECC. what about in e-sourcing.
    since customer expect this functionality. ARe in e-sourcing can used for only Vendor management for large scale customers. for eg tomorrow DUN And BRADSHEET wanted to use Vendor management functionality via e-Sourcing. is it possible.
    Any help is apprecited. I am Mostly interested  How vendors are selected / what are the main factors are considered to accept a vendor .

    Hi Muthu
    Check out this note
    1313088  Integration of SAP E-Sourcing 5.0/5.1 and SAP ERP
    on page 2 and 3
    Replication of SAP E-Sourcing Supplier to SAP ERP Vendor
    This scenario supports the replication of suppliers that have been created in SAP E-Sourcing
    for a sourcing event. Suppliers can be replicated back to SAP ERP individually on an asneeded
    basis with user intervention.
    When transmitting supplier master data from SAP E-Sourcing to SAP ERP, only external
    number assignment is supported. This means that SAP E-Sourcing determines the supplier
    number that is assigned to the vendor when it is created in SAP ERP. This is possible via SAP
    E-Sourcing configuration mechanisms.
    Internal number assignment in SAP ERP is not supported in the current integration package.
    This means that SAP E-Sourcing does not allow a supplier to be published to SAP ERP when
    internal number assignment is used. An error message is displayed in this case.
    Linking is possible only through a manual process (that is, you must create the vendor in SAP
    ERP manually and then link it to the SAP E-Sourcing supplier manually).
    Supplier changes cannot be replicated from SAP E-Sourcing back to SAP ERP. Only the initial
    creation of the supplier is supported.
    The following basic SAP ERP vendor fields are supported:
    SAP E-Sourcing Supplier Fields SAP ERP Vendor Fields......

  • Pay Item in Sourcing

    Hi,
    Can I have 2 lines in sourcing, the first will be handled as a service (pay item) and the second will be handled as a regular description line that will be received in against PO.
    The point is as following, we have sourcing RFQs for (supply and installation) the supply is the fixed asset and the instalation is the service (we have service procurement). we need to make inspection for the fixed asset item, and work confirmation for the instalation line.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Yes, the pop-up says Requirement to be completed.
    We are in SAPKIBKT12 which makes the notes included. Thank you though.
    But, we are using Swedish in production and there is the difference as Georg pointed out! I changed to Swedish in Development and then it failed there as well.
    Do you have a clue why this happens and how to correct it?

  • SCRM Workflow + sourcing approvals issues

    Hello,
    I am testing the SCRM workflow set up and I'd like to be clarified on the following issue:
    when I need to add a user/group to the owner section for example, the system allows me to put author + another user.
    I assume "author" would be the creator of the workflow (myself), so how is it possible to set up another user = author as owner of the workflow?
    Also, what is the impact of the "optional" field to be ticked? would you please give me some examples?
    Finally, when creating a sourcing approval I'd need to fill in the supplier item field and flag the supplier signed spec.
    I assume the supplier item would be the crossed reference supplier number in another system. Am I right?
    When should I tick the supplier signed spec instead? when would it be necessary? Would you please give me a few example to better understand the need for the supplier to sign a sourcing approval?
    Thanks and regards
    Daniele

    "when I need to add a user/group to the owner section for example, the system allows me to put author + another user.
    I assume "author" would be the creator of the workflow (myself), so how is it possible to set up another user = author as owner of the workflow?"
    The "Author" token represents the originator of the Sourcing Approval or GSM specification. To set other users up as owners you need to add them to the owners grid in the step. The first step and terminating step don't have the owner grid option. The Administrators User Guide discusses this further on page 7-10
    "Also, what is the impact of the "optional" field to be ticked? would you please give me some examples?"
    You can make it optional for the end user to select an owner, notification recipient or signature requestee. This means the end user when workflowing the object could choose not to select one of these. If the selection was not marked optional then the user would be told that they are required to select something before continuing. For example, if you wanted all members of the Labeling group to be notified you wouldn't make that an optional selection for the end user workflowing the sourcing approval or specification. If you allow the end user to decide when and who needs to be notified you would make that selection optional.
    "Finally, when creating a sourcing approval I'd need to fill in the supplier item field and flag the supplier signed spec.
    I assume the supplier item would be the crossed reference supplier number in another system. Am I right?"
    It could be and you could manually fill out the cross reference related to that supplier in the supplier item # field.
    This could also be a temporary number that you are using for the supplier's material until it is an approved/purchased material with an assigned cross reference.
    "When should I tick the supplier signed spec instead? when would it be necessary? Would you please give me a few example to better understand the need for the supplier to sign a sourcing approval?"
    Supplier Signed Spec means that the supplier literally signed off on the specification and agrees to supplier what the specification dictates. It allows you to say they signed off, what date they signed off on the spec and any other comments that are necessary around that approval. There is another feature you can use to automate this sign off. You can send the specification to a supplier, have them review it, then they can approve or reject suppling the material as the specification dictates. This interaction is captured on the sourcing approval. When they approve the spec the supplier signed box is checked, the date is captured and their comments are also recorded. You can learn more about this feature in a white paper hosted with the product documentation. Its "Supplier Approval of Specifications Whitepaper" You can find it in the white paper section of http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/agile-085940.html#plmprocess
