Sourcing

Sourcing is the way in which you assign orders to business partners who deliver the same items. You can give suppliers a priority and a sourcing percentage.

If you want to assign an order for an item for which you have several business partners, the following applies:

  1. LN searches for the business partner with the highest priority (lowest number). This business partner receives the order.
  2. In case there are business partners with the same priority, LN looks at the sourcing percentages. The order is then assigned according to these percentages.

In both cases, LN takes into account the order quantity restrictions of the business partners.

Note

You can define the priority, sourcing percentage, and order quantity restrictions in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session. For more information, refer to Using priorities and Using sourcing percentages.
