Yes. You can meet this requirement using MPN materials.

First you create three mfg numbers, one for each of the manufacturer's plants. You link these as partners to the main vendor number if you want.

You specify in your material A001 an MPN material profile. This profile is set up in configuration and one of the items is Q-info records.

You now create three material masters, (material type HERS). This only needs a purchasing view. In here you specify the internal material number, (A001) as well as the manfacturer number. You can also specify a manufacturer's part number if you want to in here.

You can now create a Q-info record for each of three HERS materials. You block two and approve one. Now you can only order from the one approved site.

You can also usee the AMPL table, (transaction MP01/MP02) if you want to track and set up more specific info. This is configured in the MPN material profile that was mentioned above. In here you can specify valid from and valid to dates and set these records up plant by plant and have additional block functions in here.

Hi Venkat,

The Q-Info records have the control over the plant where you inward the material and not on the supplying plant.

If the quality of the product is not ok you can block this vendor for this material through QI02. But this wouldnu2019t ensure that vendor will supply from certain plant. Being the functional business transactional issue and having involvement of the plants which are not the part of your system it would be difficult to map this.

Any specific reason for being firm about this?
