Definition

This is an alphanumeric key that uniquely identifies an internal vendor. Internal vendors are logistics units that supply to downstream logistics units such as distribution centers or import warehouses.

Use

The internal vendor entered in the selection screen of the sales price calculation function is used for determining the source of supply for a pricing item. The decisive factor in determining the source of supply is the source of supply key, that is maintained in the Logistics view. There are four settings for this key:

  • 1 (external vendor): the internal vendor entered is not taken into account.
  • 2 (internal vendor): the system checks whether the internal vendor entered is a valid source of supply. If it is not, no calculation is performed for the relevant combination of material/organizational level, and an entry is created in the log for the sales price calculation function.
  • 3 (external before internal): first, the system searches for an external vendor. If no external vendor is found, the system checks the internal vendor entered.
  • 4 (internal before external): first, the internal vendor entered is checked. if it is not a valid source of supply, the system searches for external vendors. If an external vendor is entered, this is checked.

Dependencies

In contrast to external vendors, which can also be entered in the selection screen of the sales price calculation function, entering an internal vendor does not restrict the article selection directly. The checks mentioned above are used to filter pricing items.

If more than one valid vendor is found, the vendor suggested by the system settings (source of supply key, and so on) and by the entries made in the selection screen can be changed interactively in the pricing function.
