MRP - Automatic source determination logic in case of multiple purchasing info records

[SAPSupport]

Hi,

What is the system logic when MRP is selecting a specific Purchasing Info Record - if there are several Purchasing Info Records with active auto-sourcing indicator and with identical parameters?

Thank you!

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).
