To search sourcing strategies

You can define sourcing strategies and supply strategies on three levels of detail:

As a rule, LN uses the most specific strategy it can find.

Example

Suppose a requirement for item A has been identified. Item A belongs to item group B and cluster C.

LN searches the applicable sourcing strategy as follows:

  • If a sourcing strategy has been defined for item A, LN will use that sourcing strategy.
  • If no sourcing has been defined for item A, LN uses the sourcing strategy for item group B.
  • If no sourcing strategy has been defined for item A or item group B, LN uses the sourcing strategy for cluster C.

The same process applies to supply strategies.
