3531581 - Source of Supply Determination Logic in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

The system appears to prioritize purchase contracts over purchasing info records, potentially causing unexpected sourcing results.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a purchase contract for a material and maintain it in (Source List).
  2. Check source determination for that material.
  3. Notice the system picks the purchase contract first instead of the purchasing info record.

Resolution

During the planning run, the system searches for a valid source in the following order:

  • Quota arrangement (including source list entries with MRP indicator)
  • Source list with MRP indicator
  • Scheduling agreement
  • Purchasing contract
  • Purchasing info record with automatic sourcing indicator

If there is a contract existing for the material and it has been maintained in the source list, the system will automatically pick up the contract document during source determination.

If no contract exists, the system gives priority to the Purchase Info Record for source determination.
