• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MMPUR_UI_VIEW_MSG048 - Select purchase requisitions with the same source of supply ?

  The SAP error message MMPUR_UI_VIEW_MSG048 indicates that when trying to process multiple purchase requisitions, the system requires that all selected requisitions must have the same source of supply. This is a common requirement in procurement processes to ensure that the requisitions can be processed together without conflicts in sourcing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to select multiple purchase requisitions that have different sources of supply. This could happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Trying to create a purchase order from multiple requisitions that are linked to different vendors or suppliers.
  Selecting requisitions that have different purchasing organizations or plants associated with them.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Selected Requisitions: Check the purchase requisitions you have selected. Ensure that they all have the same source of supply (i.e., the same vendor or supplier).
  
  
  Filter Requisitions: If you need to process multiple requisitions, filter them to include only those that share the same source of supply. You can do this by:
  
  Using the selection criteria to limit the requisitions to a specific vendor.
  Manually deselecting requisitions that do not match the source of supply.
  
  
  
  Create Separate Purchase Orders: If the requisitions cannot be grouped due to different sources of supply, consider creating separate purchase orders for each group of requisitions that share the same vendor.
  
  
  Check Configuration: If you believe that the requisitions should be able to be processed together, check the configuration settings in your SAP system related to purchasing and sourcing. There may be settings that enforce this requirement.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling purchase requisitions and understanding the sourcing rules in your specific SAP environment.
