Hi,

In sourcing

There is PROCESS VENDOR LIST function

wherein you create a vendor for a particular category.

That is what you are referring

T.code: BBPAVLMAINT but it will not work in SRM GUI

Please go to the web browser check for PROCESS VENDOR LIST and try to create.

Hello imdarpan,

There is no transaction for this.

One way could be to use method BBP_SC_CHANGE from BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI BAdI in order to overwrite partner function 00000019 (fixed supplier) with partner function 00000039 (preferred vendor), according to your functional need.

Hi,

Thaks for your reply, But I found in SRM articles that preferred vendor can be maintained against product categories. But could find the way to do it in those documents.

So, there must be some way to set a list of vendors to be selected for a particular product category, as we can maintain source list in R/3.

Hi

what is your exact requirement ?

then you can do one thing

you can create a vendor list for a specific product category .

but it wil be a fixed vendor for you.

Hello,

To be clear...

As written by Muthuraman, vendor list gives fixed vendors for product categories.

You want to have a preferred vendor for a list of product categories. So, there is no transaction to answer to your request.

One alternative, is to use vendor list and then implement BAdI i mentioned.
