What is the purpose of source list and Quote arrangement?

16.Queston: What is the purpose of source list and Quote arrangement?

Answer: Source list:

To find the list of vendors available/Approved vendors for the material and plant.

We can manage the vendor by blocking or fixing it as per the requirement, Block means feature procurement doesn’t contain any orders to that vendor and fix means all orders will be placed to that vendor.

Ticket: sometimes users use to raise the ticket that for plant they need source list mandatory because PO’s creating with PR vendors directly by users.

Solution: we will maintain SPRO- source list requirement /plant level, so that without maintain source list the users cannot create PO.

!! Quota Arrangement:

Quota arrangement works on a formula where for 1 material it will allocate the source of supply

Or else- Managing multiple vendors for a material by based on formula, lowest quota vendor will be selected for source.

Earlier my company they use to have multiple vendors for single material and users just need to assign the percentage and rest will be taken care by SAP.

It’s always – Allocated Quantity + Base Quantity/Quota percentage

Ticket: User has been raised a ticket that he has request to add a vendor in Quote, but he wants sequence to be continued without disturbance.

Resolution: If they want sequence of vendor selection not to be distributed then maintain base Quantity that equals to Allocated quantity of other vendors, so that for 3 vendors the sequence of order will not disturb.
