at Plant Level. In this transaction set the indicator for the plant
that is going to be moved under the tighter procurement
regime.
[tip]Especially if the procurement department closed a very costsaving contract for a common (raw) material, you really want
operations to call-off from this contract and avoid procurement
from any other source than this particular vendor. This is where
you really can use the source list requirement for the specific
material.[/tip]
2) Now it is important that all inforecords and contracts are upto-date: update inforecords and contracts where you can and
remove any obsolete ones. This is not a one time exercise: when
using mandatory source lists it is an absolute condition that
inforecords, contracts and subsequently the source list itself is
up-to-date at all times. Outdated and incorrect source lists will
lead to frustration where purchase orders cannot be created and
procurement lead time will increase. Embed this new
responsibility properly to a master data person in the
procurement department.
3) Now that all inforecords and contracts are up-to-date you can
mass create source lists using transaction ME05. In the opening
screen of the transaction enter the data for the materials for
which you wish to create a source list (If you have multiple
sources for a material do not set the MRP indicator. Only one
source with MRP indicator makes sense.). No worries, no actual
source lists are created when you execute the execution button
(F8). Actual creation of source lists is done when you save in the
next screen of the report results. When you are in the report
overview you also set a fixed or blocked vendor by selecting lines
and using the menu.
If you are not happy running a mass transaction you can still use
ME01 for material-by-material source list creation.
4) Last thing is to check that authorization for end-users is tight
enough. Users should only be able to procure for their own
purchasing organization, purchasing group and plant. If this is
not the case, you run the risk of material being procured from
the correct vendor but by the wrong people. Taking care of the
above steps should make your organization rogue-buying proof
from a SAP perspective. Unfortunately SAP cannot prevent users
from printing their own Purchase Orders in MS Word and faxing

Nazeer, three things that come to mind: 1) make sure that you
have only one valid source for MRP in the source list. and 2) make
sure that you run MRP with Delivery Schedule parameter set to
3. and 3) your procurement key should be set to F External
procurement with special procurement key 20. Regards, Kowboy

Dear Kowboy,
I have been able to make the scenario work in SAP. The problem
was with the choice of item category in the CSA which was not
picking up the correct line item category. Thanks for your inputs
anyway.
Cheers,
Nazeer
