Knowledge Management

Question:
Hi everyone
Can you help. I am creating new plants for our business. I need to know how to set up the source lists ( if this is the way it should be done) for stock transfer orders between plants. I have set the material up as special procurement (type 40) so that all requirements are transferred. I now need to know how you tell any pur reqs or planned orders that these items are sourced from our other plant. Can anyone help.
The application I am using is R3 4.6c
Thanks in anticipation
Martin
Answer:
Hi,
The source list record maintenance is made in Transaction ME01. Check it out.
Cheers,

Hi HT
Thanks for your reply. However I know how to set up source lists for product we buy from en external supplier, what i need to know is how do I create a source list for a product that i will be replenishing from another of our sites. We have a main distribution center which is plant 1000 and we have smaller sites ( plants 2000,3000 & 4000) which replenish stock from plant 1000. My problem is that when a pur requisition is generated in plants 2000 - 4000 I cant specify plant 1000 as my source of supply as it asks for a vendor. Do I have to create plant 1000 as a vendor before I can do this?
Maybe i am setting this up wrong as I want the purchase requisition to generate stock tansfer orders. Is this the same process or is it different.
Thanks

Answer:
You have to do the following steps:
For your materials:
1.- In the MRP 2 view:
- Procurement type F.
- Special procurement 40
For each of your plants (2000, 3000, 4000):
1.- In transaction OMD9. You have to choose your plant and special procurement 40. Then you have to specify your special procurement as U (stock transfer) and your supplying plant as 1000.
I had this scenario in my last project and it worked fine. The Purchase requisition were generated by the MRP. I don't know if you create one PR manually how it works. Let me know if you try it.

Answer:
Hi,
In addition to the setting of Special Procurement Type 40 in OMDP and assignment to material for plant 2000, 3000, 4000 in MRP View 2, in the source list record maintenance, make sure that the Plant 1000 is entered in the 'Plant from which a material is procured' field. Check it out and let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
HT
