CIF customizing "Activation of source list integration" usage

[Former Member]

Hello,

We want to improve the integration with source list for example to use the "fix" indicator managed in the ECC Source list to update selection of prioritization source in external procurement ( may be through Procurement priority )

There is a (new?) customizing point "Activate / Desactivate Source of Supply Determination / Source List integration with a flag that can be set on "Source list" to integrate source list.

I do not understand the effect on the flow. I have tested the flag "Integrate source list"  on masterdata, I set all the cases in MRP list: with or without Fic indicator, with MRP indicator 1 set or not.  On the external procurement, I do not see any impact : all those objects selected on the object "contract" in integration model are CIFed and generate an external procurement without any inpact in fields displayed in /

On the transportation lane created , I have noticed that the "creation indicator" are set to "T" "Creation from source list (R/3)" but I do not understand the impact

Does someone explain the impact ? What is the benefit for the process ? is the effect in APO when running replenishment or when distributing result to ECC ?

Kind regards,

Christine Macaudière

Hello,

Please refer this useful link,

Integration of Sources of Supply - Integration via APO Core Interface (CIF) - SAP Library

Read the F1 help of field

• Deactivate
• Integrate source list

It takes validity date entered in the source list.

If you have one material in plant defined in more than one purchase organization. You have a vendor or other source of supply which is used to provide the material for more than one POrg. You use the source list integration and define each entry of source list for different POrg.

Hi R, I had a look to the SAP Link but in the chapter Integration of "integration of external procurement ship" , we have subchapter "inforecord", "contract","scheduling agreement", but not "source list". Perhaps it is a new functionality ? I did tests to understand the behaviour , seams OK for getting the validity range of date from source list but behaviour sometimes strange in change mode. integration with "blocked field" not according my expectation. We do not seems to have a deszcribed official SAP expected result on this topic
