Question:
hai
I have a source list for a vendor X and material Y for period say 1.09.2003 to 30.03.2003.
I want to have another source list for vendor X and material Y and a agreement ( contract no.) and item no. and for a period as mentioned in the contract. This I am not able to maintain,as I do
enter the values in ME01 the 1st source list is overwritten.
What is the problem?

Answer:
Dear Kirti:
If the vendor, material, and plant are the same, then you can either enter the contract no. / item. no. in the existing source list OR if the Contract was negotiated for dates which do not correspond with the existing validity period, then you will have to enter a new line, with precisely the dates that correspond to your contract.
The system behavior which you describe is SAP standard for validity periods. If you have a first validity period which is quite long, and a shorter validity period, which is inside the dates of the previous one, then it the system will force you to maintain a new line in the source list.
I hope that this helps.

Answer:
Hi,
It is just to add to what Sackman's clarification that in the event the outline agreement is maintained with the same validity period compared to that of the source list ie in the event both source list and outline agreement is maintained in parallel, then the source determination shall be taken from source list rather than from outline agreement in accordance with the following rule - Q S O I. It meant that
1) Quota arrangement
2) Source List
3) Outline Agreement / Scheduling Agreement
4) Purchasing Info Record.

Answer:
Ha,
Does the rule Q S O I apply to the price determination in the PO too?(outline agreement taking precedence over the info record).
Answer:
Yes,
This is the rule applying for pricing determination in the PO. You can make a trial if you would prefer.
