Supply User Manual ENG -> Supply Configurations -> 2.5 LU-SU1105: Additional configuration points -> A. LU-SU1105: Sourcing groups
The field “Order creation mode” which is available on the partner master data sheet allows splitting/merging requests on different POs according to different rules: by project, by category, by category & project or by order.
Sourcing groups allow going even further as they enable the split of 1 single request on different POs, even if all lines of this request are sourced to the same supplier and are requested for the same date. However, sourcing groups can only be used with ESC suppliers.
The use of this configuration point is described in detail in the Procurement chapter.
Go to: Supply Configuration / Orders / Sourcing groups
New sourcing groups can be created via the “New” button.
Existing sourcing groups can be edited via the pencil icons.

Sourcing groups can be used in the Orders Sourcing Tool when requests are sourced on order (PO) with an ESC as supplier. See Procurement chapter for details (LU_SU3401 Procurement advanced feature) –>H. How to source on order (IR or FO) on several Pos for the same ESC (and same RDD)
