Requisition Sourcing
Once the requisition has been assigned a source of supply it can be released for processing
There are a variety of ways that a purchasing department can process a requisition to determine the appropriate
Source of Supply:
• Internal Sourcing Requirements
• Source List
• Outlined Agreement
• RFQ
© 2017 SAP SE / SAP UCC Magdeburg. All rights reserved. Slide 154 154
Internal Sourcing
The requisition for materials could be satisfied by sources within our company.
• It is possible that a plant within your firm could represent a potential source of supply for the material needed (centralized
warehouse)
• If an internal source is identified the requirement is covered by an internal procurement transaction (stock transport order)
© 2017 SAP SE / SAP UCC Magdeburg. All rights reserved. Slide 155 155
Source List
A source list is a record that specifies the allowed means for procuring a material for a certain plant within a
given time period.
• If the list contains a sole source the system will assign the vendor to the requisition.
• If several options exist the system will display a list of vendors for you to choose from.
• If no source has been established the system will revert to search information records and outline agreements.
© 2017 SAP SE / SAP UCC Magdeburg. All rights reserved. Slide 156 156
Outline Agreement
• Contracts
Consists of items defining the individual materials, material groups, or services with prices and in many cases quantities
o Quantity
o Value
• Scheduling Agreements
Total quantity of material is spread over a certain period in a delivery schedule, consisting of line items indicating quantities and their
planned delivery date

Request for Quotation
If nothing exist in the system we may need to submit a request for quotation to our vendors. An RFQ is an
invitation to a vendor by a Purchasing Organization to submit a bid for the supply of materials or services
• The accepted quotations will generate Purchasing Information Records
• Perform Quotation Price Comparisons
• Finally Select a Quotation

Quotation from Vendor
The quotation received by your company is a legally binding offer, should decide to do business with the vendor,
containing price’s and conditions for the materials specified in the RFQ for a predefined period of time.
• In SAP the RFQ and the Quotation will be become a single document, you will enter the vendor’s response in the RFQ you
created.

Vendor Evaluation once Identified
Vendor evaluation helps purchasing evaluate vendors for sourcing while also enabling the company to monitor
vendor relationships through performance scores and criteria you put in place.
• Supports a maximum of 99 main criteria and 20 sub criteria for each main:
Price
o Price Level
o Price History
Quality
o Goods Receipt
o Quality Audit
o Complaints/Rejection level
Delivery
o On-time delivery performance
o Quantity reliability
o Compliance with shipping instructions
o Confirmation Date
• You then must establish a scoring range (1 -100) and determine the weight factors of scores for each.
