MM source list

Source list requirement not fulfilled

Purchase requisition/PO source determination fails because no valid source-list entry exists for a material when source-list requirement is active.

Likely root causes

  1. No source-list record covers the plant/material/date.
  2. The valid supplier/source is blocked or outside its validity period.
  3. Source-list requirement is active at plant/material level but master data is incomplete.

What to inspect

  1. ME03 — source list for material/plant and document date.
  2. Material master source-list requirement indicator.
  3. Supplier/info record/outline agreement referenced by the source.

Resolution path

  1. Maintain a valid approved source-list entry for the intended supplier/contract.
  2. Correct the document date/source if an existing record should apply.
  3. Do not disable source-list requirement merely to bypass sourcing controls.
  4. Re-run source determination after master data is valid.
