how can I assign different source of supply for one purchase request?

[Former Member]

Hi everyone ,

In Business By design, When I determine the supply for one purchase request,I want to assign different source of supply  for one purchase request because one supply cannot fulfill my purchase request quantity.It seems that there is no button to separate the source of supply. What can I do ?

thank you .

best regards,

Hi David,

Against each Purchase request, you can create "N" of purchase orders.

Against each purchase request change the Supplier and Qty to be purchased.

In this way you can choose different source of supply and also you can create "N" of purchase orders against different suppliers.

The Supplier and Qty field will be editable while creating the PO from PR.

Check this out and confirm your understanding.

Hello David,

System assign only one supplier for one PR and even with the quota arrangement also  if you have multiple proposals  then the  system assign the same supplier for all the proposals this is standard behavior you can add this to ideas forum.

kindly submit it to SAP via the SAP Idea Forum.

- Open the Help on the too right of the system.

- Click "Make SAP Business ByDesign better", it
will lead you to the idea forum.

- Submit your new feature in the forum. SAP will review your
new feature requests form customers or partners and plan it in the future
releases after valuation.

Hi Suresh,

Thank you for your kindly reply .

However , I'd like to know what can we do with Quota Arrangement ?

Since,my testing on Quota Arrangement ,It's useless in Assign supply .

Is there any other scenario that Quota Arrangement can be used?
