Description: The ranking of sources of supply determined by the sourcing engine priority criteria defined by the user and business configuration information entered during the system setup.
Key Concepts: Sourcing sequence is a feature of SAP software that allows users to define the order in which the system searches for a source of supply for a material. It is used to determine the source of supply for a material, such as a vendor or plant. The system searches for sources of supply in the order defined by the user. How to use it: To use the sourcing sequence feature, users must first define the sequence in which the system will search for sources of supply. This can be done by creating a sourcing sequence profile in the SAP system. The profile contains information about the sources of supply and their order. Once the profile is created, it can be assigned to materials in the system. Tips & Tricks: When creating a sourcing sequence profile, it is important to consider the order in which sources of supply should be searched. For example, if a vendor is preferred over a plant, then it should be listed first in the profile. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all relevant sources of supply are included in the profile. Related Information: The sourcing sequence feature is part of SAP's SRD-SCM-MD SCM-Master Data component. This component also includes features such as material master data and vendor master data. Additionally, there are other features related to sourcing sequences such as source determination and source list maintenance.
