Material coding for material from differnt vendors

[#1]

A material is procured from differnt vendors. Material sourced from some vendors are registered for one header material and all vendors are registered for second header material. Should I maintain different codes or same code for the material? How it is to be handled from GMP and MRP point of view?

Hello Vishal

Creating different Material master for different source of supply is not advisable and is not considered as the Best practice. You can create one material master which has different sources of supply  ( Vendors) in Me01 transaction, and maintain quota arrangement if yo need to.

Further you can handle quality management by having different inspection plans and Quality info records for each vendor.

Hope this helps
