Priorities for source determination during planning run

As a result of planning run, source determination for a material follows the following logic;

1.       Quota arrangement

2.       Source list with mrp indicator

3.       Outline agreement item

4.       Info record

Enhancement LWSUS001 will enable you to replace the SAP source determination logic with customer logic.

W/o material master the logic is as follows;

1.       Outline agreement for a material group

2.       Info record for material group.

A click in the check box of “Regular Vendor” in the info record will make the vendor a preferable vendor and the only source in automatic source determination. In case you want to use vendor from source list with regular vendor clicked on, the system will issue a error message. So use the regular vendor when only info records are maintained.

Activate regular in customizing at the plan level as follows;
