Documentation
Definition
Used for extended source determination purposes in the case of stock transfers.
Use
In course of the extended source determination process, not only those vendors that directly supply the ordering plant are found, but also those that supply possible supplying plants of the ordering plant.
When a vendor of the supplying plant is assigned as the source of supply, the supplying plant is stored in the purchase requisition as the procuring plant.
In extended source determination a source of supply from the ordering plant's own company code or from a different one (i.e. from the company code of the supplying plant) can be assigned to a purchase requisition.
Note
In contrast to the issuing plant from which the relevant materials are removed from storage in a conventional stock transfer, the procuring plant is not taken into account in materials planning.
Dependencies
Example
In the ordering plant A, a purchase requisition is created for the material steel bolt.
In the ordering plant A, a purchase requisition is created for the material steel bolt.
Possible sources of supply are the vendor Miller Corp. in the company code of the ordering plant and supplying plant B in a different company code.
The extended source determination process identifies the vendor Miller Corp. and the vendors Smith Co. and Myers Inc., who supply the supplying plant B, as possible sources for this material.
If Purchasing assigns the vendor Myers Inc. as the source of supply, the supplying plant B will be stored in the purchase requisition as the procuring plant.
