Symptom
The business need is to understand the system logic when MRP is selecting a specific Purchasing Info Record in case there are several Purchasing Info Records with active auto-sourcing indicator and with identical parameters.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Resolution
If several purchasing info records exist, MRP selects the one in priority:
- purchasing info record with given plant
- purchasing info record with the smaller supplier number (LIFNR)
- purchasing info record with the smaller purchasing organization (EKORG)
- purchasing info record with the smaller purchasing group (EKGRP).
If there are still multiple matches, then the system selects the info record with the:
- most recent validity end date
- latest creation date
- highest info record number.
