Use
The source list is used in the administration of sources of supply.

It specifies the allowed (and disallowed) sources of a material for a certain plant within a
predefined period. Each source is defined by means of a source list record.

The source list serves:

 To define a source of supply as "fixed". Such sources count as preferred sources over a
certain period of time.

(For example, the fixed vendor for material 1 is Acme Corp. for the first quarter and
Zenith Co. for the second quarter of the year.)

 To define a source of supply as "blocked".

(This means, for example, that contract 123 may not be used for a certain period of time.)

 As an aid in selecting the preferred source during the source determination process.

(For example, the vendor Zenith Co. is determined as the source for an item of a
requisition dated 15th June relating to material 1.)
