• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06337 - Fixed indicator incompatible w. source list rec. for item & ?

  The SAP error message "06337 Fixed indicator incompatible with source list record for item &" typically occurs in the context of procurement and materials management when there is a conflict between the fixed indicator set for a material and the source list entries associated with that material.
  Cause:
  
  Fixed Indicator: The fixed indicator is a setting that specifies whether a particular source of supply (vendor) is fixed for a material. If this indicator is set, it means that the system should always select this vendor for procurement.
  Source List Entries: The source list contains information about the sources of supply for a material, including whether they are fixed, whether they are valid for certain periods, and other conditions.
  Incompatibility: The error arises when the fixed indicator is set for a material, but the corresponding source list entry does not support this fixed status. This could happen if:
  
  The source list entry is marked as "not fixed."
  The source list entry is not valid for the procurement date.
  There are no valid source list entries for the material.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Source List:
  
  Go to the transaction code ME03 (Display Source List) and check the source list for the material in question.
  Ensure that there is a valid source list entry for the vendor you are trying to procure from.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Fixed Indicator:
  
  If the source list entry is not supposed to be fixed, you may need to remove the fixed indicator from the material master record. This can be done in the material master using transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
  Navigate to the purchasing view and adjust the fixed indicator accordingly.
  
  
  
  Update Source List:
  
  If the source list entry needs to be fixed, you can update the source list to set the fixed indicator for the appropriate vendor. Use transaction code ME01 (Create Source List) or ME02 (Change Source List) to make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Check Validity Dates:
  
  Ensure that the validity dates for the source list entries are correct and that they cover the date of the procurement.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings or need further assistance, consult your SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for guidance.
