Source List

Source list is one of the master data available in SAP MM. it used to maintain
fixed vendor to a material. Once source list is maintained then we have to buy
material from source vendor only.

The combined information of material and vendor is kept in a record that is


known as purchase info record. But a particular material can be ordered from
different vendors in different time intervals. This information can be maintained
in a list that is called as the source list. The key points to note about a source list
are as follows −

 Source list includes a list of possible sources of supply for a material over a
given framework of time.
 Source list specifies the time period of ordering a particular material from a
given vendor.
 Source list can be copied from one plant to another plant.

Source list can be created by the following two ways −

 Automatically
 Manually

Automatic Creation of Source List


Source List at Material Level

Source list can be automatically created by changing a few settings in the material
master. Automatic source list can be created by following the steps given below.

Step 1 − Go to MM02 (Edit mode of material master for which you want to create
source list automatically). Select Purchasing View
Inside purchasing view, check the box for source list. Click on Save. Source list will
be created automatically for the material.

Source List at Plant Level

Customizing allows us to specify that a source list record must exist for all
materials linked to a certain plant. To establish the source list requirement at the
plant level, use transaction code OME5, or use the following customizing path in
transaction code SPRO:

Materials Management – Purchasing – Source List – Define Source List


Requirement at Plant Level

Browse for a facility that requires a source list to be kept and choose the tickbox
in the Source list column. Checkboxes for adding more plants as needed. In the
example below, plant 1200 - Head Office requires a vendor to be recognized in a
source list before a purchase order can be created:
