Supply Source Determination: Evaluating the Source ListIn the source list, you enter the sources of supply that are valid for a particular article over a particular period. These can be fixed vendors or outline agreements (contracts or scheduling agreements).
You can also flag a preferred source of supply for a particular article as being fixed. The system then always suggests this source of supply even if other sources are available.
Refer to MM - Purchasing: Source List
The following cases can exist:
