Sourcing groups

Sourcing group expands the processing that can be done for the procurement group to include Strategic Sourcing functionality. The sourcing group in Strategic Sourcing and the procurement group in Purchasing must have the same group number. For example, if the sourcing group number is GRP123, the associated procurement group number must also be GRP123.

A sourcing company is one level below a sourcing group and is an extension of a Purchase Order company. It expands the processing that can be done for the company to include Strategic Sourcing functionality. The sourcing company in Strategic Sourcing must have the same number as the purchase order company in Purchasing. There can be one or more sourcing companies in a sourcing group, just as there can be one or more purchase order companies in a procurement group.
