Summary :
During a Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) run, issues might occur if automatic source determination does not work correctly. The cause is typically the lack of proper prerequisite settings. Essential prerequisites include a valid source list entry for the material, correct setting of 'Source list usage in materials planning and control' (with values '1' or '2'), and alignment of special procurement keys in the material master and quota arrangements. Changes in prerequisites or entries beyond Release 4.0B could lead to non-determination of supply source or unpredictable selection among multiple valid sources. It's crucial to align these settings for the MRP to function correctly.
