Source list validation for goods supplier

[former_member314228]

Hi All,

  We have the following business scenario

1. Contract will be placed with manufacturer and goods will be supplied by local dealers. PO will be created with respect to contract hence PO vendor will be manufacturer and goods supplier (partner function) will be a local dealer

2. Many local dealers are prevailing in market, so PO should be placed only with approved local dealers mentioned in the source list.

SAP will check Source list only for PO vendor and not for partner function like goods supplier.

Is there any other alternative solution/work around in SAP to fulfill this scenario? If not is there any user exit to instruct SAP to check source list even for partner functions(goods supplier)

Regards,

This sounds a bit like having the user enter the information twice to enable SAP to check whether the user did right.

I mean, the user enters the partner in the vendor master, from here it defaults to the PO.

Now you want that the user maintains this partner function somewhere and then SAP should check against this. 

Wouldn't it make more sense to have only a qualified person maintain a vendor master?

And in customizing of partner functions you can control that the partner cannot be changed in a purchasing document.
