Source list

The source list is a management tool for tracking sources of materials in specific plants and time periods, allowing for the definition of fixed sources, blocking sources, and supplementing source determination with quota arrangements. It requires prerequisites such as plant, material, and vendor, and can be created manually or automatically. The source determination sequence prioritizes quota arrangements, source lists, outline agreements, and purchase info records (PIR) when generating purchase orders.

Source list

The source list is used to manage a list of sources for a material in a particular plant and for
particular time periods. Each source is defined by a source list record. The source list has the
following purposes:

 Defining a source as a fixed source


 Blocking a source
 Defining a source in a planning run
 Supplementing source determination with a quota arrangement

Prequisities to create a Source list

1. Plant
2. material
3. vendor

Note : If source list is to be made mandatory for each plant then we can do that in
purchasing view of material master and

OME5 - Define Source List Requirement at Plant Level

Each source list record consists of the following data:

Validity period

Period within which the settings made in the source list are valid. With manual source
determination, the period always refers to the delivery date of a requirement. With source
determination using material requirements planning (MRP), however, it always refers to the
requirements date. With materials that are procured using the manual reorder point
procedure, the requirement date is the current date.

Key source data

Number of the vendor and the responsible purchasing organization (info records) or number
and item of the outline agreement (scheduling agreement or contract) representing the source
of supply for the material.

Fixed source
Select the Fixed field to define a source as a fixed source for the purposes of source
determination. The fixed source of supply is used in all cases except the planning run.Only one
source of the same type (info record or outline agreement item) can be marked as fixed at one
time. If both an info record and an outline agreement item are marked as fixed, the outline
agreement item has priority.

Procurement plant

If the material is to be procured from another plant, enter the number of the plant in the field
PPI and leave the fields for the supplier number and contract number blank. The plant is only
determined as part of source determination for a purchase requisition item with the item type
U (stock transfer).

Blocked source

Select the Blocked field to block a source of supply. The info record or outline agreement item
is not used during the source determination process, and no PO or requisition can be created
with this source.

MRP

You use the MRP (MRP-relevant) indicator to control whether a source should be found during
the planning run (indicator 1). If this source is a scheduling agreement item, you can also
generate scheduling agreement schedule lines directly (indicator 2). You can mark multiple
source list entries as MRP-relevant if you want to use them in quota arrangement.

Ways in which Source list can be created

1. Manually ( ME01)
2. Automatic ( ME05)
3. From PIR ( ME11- extras - source list )
4. From Outline agreements ( me31k – items-Maintain sourcelist )

Source determination sequence when it gets pulled in purchase order

1. Quota arrangement
2. Source list
3. Outline agreements
4. PIR

Note- If QA is not maintained it will fetch the source from sourcelist , in case its not
maintained it will fetch from agreements and at last it will fetch from PIR if agreements are
not maintained .

 Define Source List Requirement at Plant Level - plants for which we wish to specify a
source list requirement.

Require Source List at Plant Level

Through customizing we can define that a source list record must exist for all materials
belonging to a certain plant. To define the source list requirement at plant level, use transaction
code OME5 or use the customizing path below in transaction code SPRO:

Level

Require Source List at Material Level

To require a source list only for specific materials, forego the plant level configuration and
maintain the source list requirement at the material level. This can be set in the material master
record as an indicator that enforces a source list to be maintained in order to create a purchase
order for that particular material. Pull up the applicable materials in change mode via
transaction code MM02. Then click the Purchasing tab and tick the Source list indicator as
demonstrated below:
Manual Creation of Source List

Manually creating a source list record is suitable when you need to create a single new record
or maintain additional lists within an existing record

Menu path Logistics – Materials Management – Purchasing – Master Data – Source List
– Maintain

Transaction ME01 – Maintain


code
 Enter the material number for which you want to maintain the source list and respective
plant details.
 Fill in all the necessary details such as valid periods, name of vendor, purchasing
organization, etc. Click on the Save icon. Source list for the material is now maintained.
