Symptom
A Purchase Contract that is released and approved is not displayed in the source of supply list when creating a purchase requisition via the 'My Purchase Requisitions' app, Other valid Purchase Contracts for the same material and plant are displayed correctly. The missing contract appears fully released in the Manage Purchase Contracts app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Ensure a purchase contract exists for a material and plant, is released and approved, and appears correctly in the 'Manage Purchase Contracts' app.
- Open the 'My Purchase Requisitions' app and create a new purchase requisition for the same material and plant.
- In the source of supply step, observe that the affected purchase contract does not appear in the suggested list, while other contracts for the same material and plant are displayed correctly.
Cause
At database level, the affected purchase contracts are flagged as 'Subject to Release' (field EKKO-FRGRL), causing the source of supply determination (for example, in ME_SEARCH_SOURCE_OF_SUPPLY_EXP) to exclude them even though the contracts appear released/approved in the app.
Resolution
Re-trigger the workflow on the affected purchase contract to synchronize the database-level release flag with the actual release status.
Steps to follow :
- Open the affected purchase contract in the 'Manage Purchase Contracts' app.
- Make a minor change to a field that triggers the workflow (e.g., contract validity dates or item quantities).
- Save the document this re-triggers the workflow and updates the EKKO-FRGRL flag correctly at the database level.
- Revert the temporary change to its original value and save again.
- Create a new purchase requisition and verify that the contract now appears in the Source of Supply list.
