Procedure documentation Source Allocation in the Background – Without Rescheduling Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

We recommend that you use the source allocation without rescheduling especially if you can agree on a marginal change of the weighted sort and vendor ranking criteria, and if you view the multiple selection of the evaluation criteria as an iterative process.

Procedure

  1. Choose Logistics ® Materials Management ® Source Allocation ® Standard Source Allocation. Enter the required data in the Report Selection screen and choose Execute.
  2. In the subsequent selection screen, specify for which purchase requisitions you want to carry out a source allocation and flag the corresponding lines.
  3. Choose Edit ® Save for Batch Run and determine a simulation run via the input help. The simulation run is defined in Customizing. Enter a description of the simulation run.
  1. To specify sort and vendor ranking criteria, choose Define criteria. Save the version of the batch run and confirm the dialog window.

Note

So that you can compare differently weighted sort and vendor ranking criteria, you can save up to ten versions for each batch run.
  1. Execute the source allocation run in the background.
  2. Query the results of the source allocation run in simulation reports and compare the different versions of your simulation run, if applicable.
  3. Select the optimal version. The corresponding vendors will be written as fixed vendors in your purchase requisitions.
