User is creating a purchase request and wants system to automatically determine the Source of Supply in the request.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to Purchase Requests and Orders work center
2. Go to Common Taks
3. Select New Purchase Request (Manual)
4. Enter All details
5. Navigate to Item Tab and Enter Item
6. Navigate to Source of Supply Tab
7. You see the "Supplier" field is empty

The system does not automatically populate the source of supply.

The system searches for existing purchase orders and shows them in the "Assign source of supply" link under the "Source of Supply" sub-tab of the purchase document (Purchase order, Purchase request).

You need to choose one from the displayed purchase orders.
