  Key Concepts: 
  Non-deterministic sourcing is a feature of the AP-RC FND Reuse Components in SAP software. It allows users to source materials from multiple vendors and locations, based on criteria such as cost, availability, and quality. This feature helps to ensure that the best possible materials are sourced for a given project.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use non-deterministic sourcing, users must first define the criteria for sourcing materials. This includes factors such as cost, availability, and quality. Once these criteria have been defined, users can then search for vendors and locations that meet these criteria. The system will then generate a list of potential sources for the materials needed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using non-deterministic sourcing, it is important to consider all of the criteria that are relevant to the project. This will help ensure that the best possible sources are identified for the materials needed. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in the criteria over time, as this may affect the sources that are identified.
