• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_SRCSLIST008 - Please mark at least one entry as default. ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_SRCSLIST008 typically occurs in the context of source list maintenance in the Materials Management (MM) module. This error indicates that you need to mark at least one entry in the source list as the default source for procurement.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to save or process a source list without having designated a default source. In SAP, a source list can contain multiple sources for a material, but at least one of these sources must be marked as the default for procurement purposes. This ensures that the system knows which source to prioritize when creating purchase orders.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access the Source List:
  
  Go to the transaction code ME01 (Create Source List) or ME02 (Change Source List) in SAP.
  
  
  
  Select the Material:
  
  Enter the material number and plant for which you want to maintain the source list.
  
  
  
  Review the Entries:
  
  Check the entries in the source list. You should see a list of potential sources for the material.
  
  
  
  Mark a Default Source:
  
  Identify one of the entries that you want to set as the default source.
  In the source list, there should be a checkbox or an option to mark the entry as the default (often labeled as "Default" or "Preferred").
  Ensure that you check this option for at least one entry.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After marking the default source, save your changes.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Process:
  
  If you were trying to perform another action (like creating a purchase order), re-attempt that action after saving the source list.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Source List Functionality: The source list is used to manage and control the procurement sources for materials. It can include various suppliers, contracts, and scheduling agreements.
  Default Source Importance: The default source is crucial for automatic procurement processes, as it determines which supplier will be used when creating purchase orders without manual intervention.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  ME01: Create Source List
  ME02: Change Source List
  ME03: Display Source List
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the source list in SAP.
