SRM Vendor List - Sourcing

[Former Member]

We are trying to use vendor lists for sourcing our shopping carts. We are using classic scenario. We have setup the "source list" as it is called in R/3 and expected to be able to source the shopping cart with this list as it should show up as the SRM vendor list.

Does anyone have any information on how the vendor lists should be configured and how they should work in SRM? We are on SRM 4.0

Hi Paul,

what do you mean by " We have setup the "source list" as it is called in R/3 and expected to be able to source the shopping cart with this list as it should show up as the SRM vendor list."?

The vendor list is an independed element within SRM and not 100% comparable to the source list in R/3. For Sourcing in SRM the vendor list need to be defined and set up within SRM manually. The important elements are the Product Group (Material Group) and the Product (Material). When there are defined vendor lists in SRM, they are taken under consideration in the Sourcing Cockpit, when "Propose Source of Supply" is selected. The system checks the available Source of Supplys and will also consider existing vendor lists.

Cheers,
