• Message number: 375

• Message text: Several sources of a supplier are relevant to materials planning/control

What causes this issue?

You have flagged several sources associated with the same supplier as
MRP-relevant.
This only makes sense if you are using
<DS:GLOS.3526C436AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>kanban</> or are having
<DS:GLOS.3526C01BAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>stocks of materials provided
to a subcontractor</> by external suppliers.
As a rule, you should only mark one source per supplier as MRP-relevant
so that automatic source assignment can be carried out via the material
requirements planning system.
