hi

you can create a local contract or vendor list right?

in ECS they are valid source of supply.

Searching for Sources of Supply Centrally

You can use this business process to process your requirements and to improve your source of supply by evaluating the ability of your suppliers to provide materials and services.

You can also:

Prioritize your requirements

Assign requirements to different purchasing groups manually or automatically

This enables you to react to temporary absences among persons responsible for requirements, or organizational changes to the structure of your purchasing groups.

You can assign the sources proposed by the system to items automatically (for example, if there is a single contract for the item being procured) or manually in the case of a quota arrangement, contract, or supplier from a supplier list. You can also assign a source of supply from catalogs that you access in Sourcing.

You can then create an RFx or an auction in the SAP Bidding Engine. In the case of an RFx, you can publish it immediately, or group multiple requirements together for publishing later.
