Hi Muthu,

One of the important things i see vendorlists in is limiting vendor authorizations for groups: Creating vendorlist for groups of requesters so they can only use there assigned vendors. In this scenario you could combine the 'carry out sourcing if sos available' setting with vendorlist: Allowing requesters to run the full-procurement-cycle for certain vendors if they don't have the vendor available in there vendorlist the request will be sourced via SOCO.

Kind regards,

Tim
