Hi Gurus

I know they  are two fields for entering manufacturer part numbers in the material record ,one is in the basic data 1 and another is in Purchasing tab

question is  if there a fixed vendor from where we have to purchase the material in future  we have to maintain the manufacturer part number is it in the basic data 1 or purchasing tab  and what is the difference between these two fields

please explain

Thanking you in advance

hello

As per SAP help

Basic Data 1-->

If the material master record for your company’s own material contains a manufacturer part profile providing for checking against the approved manufacturer parts list, the system will check each MPN material that is entered to verify that it is an approved one.

Purchasing Tab-->

In the course of the procurement process (e.g. when a purchase order is created with reference to a requisition), it may be necessary to change the manufacturer part number if parts that are comparable in form and function are involved. You can specify in the MPN profile whether it is generally permissible to switch the MPN material in this way
