You can specify sourcing strategies on the following levels of aggregation:

- Item group level
- Item level (See To search sourcing strategies).
Use the following procedure to enter a sourcing strategy on cluster level:
- Enter the planning cluster in the Planning Cluster field.

- Leave the Item field empty.
Use the following procedure to enter a sourcing strategy on item group level:
- Optionally, enter a planning cluster in the Planning Cluster field.
- Enter the item group in the Item Group field.

Note:
If a plan item has no valid supply strategy, LN uses the following values by default:

You can specify different rules for external and internal suppliers.
