Source List

Source List
The source list is a type of master data that contains a list of allowed sources of supply for a material in a
specific plant and for a certain period of time.
The source list is used for the following
 Maintaining a fixed source of supply

 Limiting the selection of sources of supply during the source-determination process.
 Blocking a source of supply
A source list contains the following information for a material-plant combination,
Validity period
The Valid from and Valid to fields provide the period during which the source of supply is valid.
Sources of supply
These can be purchasing info records, supplying plants, or contract and scheduling agreements.
Blocked indicator
If you wish to block a particular source of supply, you can set the blocked checkbox (Blk) in the source
list. If you want to exclude material from external procurement, enter the validity period only. Don’t
enter a source of supply and set the Blk checkbox.
Fixed indicator
If you want to set a certain source of supply as the default, set the fixed source of supply checkbox (Fix)
in the source list. However, note that the Fix box is ignored during the planning run.
MRP indicator
If you want a particular source of supply to be considered during the planning run, set the MRP indicator
to “1.” This will allow the system to understand that it’s relevant for MRP. If you want to generate
schedule lines during the planning run, the indicator has to be set to “2.”
Creating the Source List
You can create the source list manually or have it generated automatically. To create a source list
manually, use Transaction ME01. A source list can also be created from a purchasing info record and an
outline Agreement.
In a purchasing info record, select Extras • Source List. The source list will be generated for all of the
plants for which the purchasing organization is responsible. You can limit the plants by selecting Goto •
Plant.
In an outline agreement, select Item • Maintain Source List. If a plant isn’t maintained for this item, one
has to be entered in the source list. In material group contracts, the material-specific source list can be
created in a similar fashion. Here, you can also either include entered materials or exclude them from
the subject contract. Alternatively, a source list can be generated for a material or group of materials in
a plant via Transaction ME05.
Configuration
If you want to make a source list mandatory for a material, you can set the Source List Required
indicator in the material master record of that material. If you want to make the source list mandatory
for all materials in a plant, go to SAP IMG • Materials Management • Source List • Define Source List
Requirement at Plant Level, as Click on the checkbox for the plant for which you want to make it
mandatory.
Source List at Material Level. Source list only for specific materials in MM02 @ Purchasing Tab
1. Valid from/Valid to: These fields contain the validity date range that specifies when a vendor will be
the source of supply for the material and plant combination.
2. Vendor: Specify the master record number of the source of supply for the material during the
validity period.
3. POrg: Enter the purchase organization to be maintained along with vendor number as key fields.
4. PPl: If the material is to be procured from within the organization, maintain the procurement plant
number in this field. This field will be maintained for materials with stock transfer type.
5. OUn: This field holds the preferred unit of measure for orders from this source of supply.
6. Agmt: If there is an outline agreement (either a contract or a scheduling agreement) existing with
the vendor, enter it in this field.
7. Item: This field references the item number on the outline agreement, if applicable.
8. Fix: This indicator is to be set if the vendor is the preferred source of supply for the material and
plant combination.
9. Blk: If a particular vendor is to be blocked from supplying the material for a specified time, then this
indicator is to be set. No purchase order or purchase requisition can be created with this vendor.
10. MRP: This field is used to indicate whether the material is relevant to material requirements
planning.
