SAP MM - Source Determination/List


The combined information of material and vendor is kept in a record that is known as
purchase info record. But a particular material can be ordered from different vendors
in different time intervals. This information can be maintained in a list that is called as
the source list. The key points to note about a source list are as follows −
• Source list includes a list of possible sources of supply for a material over a
given framework of time.
• Source list specifies the time period of ordering a particular material from a
given vendor.
• Source list can be copied from one plant to another plant.
