Which indicators can you set in a source list in SAP Materials Management?

Setting indicators in a source list in SAP Materials Management helps manage procurement processes and material planning effectively. The indicator that can be set indicates whether a source of supply is blocked, meaning that it is not to be used for procurement until the block is removed. This is particularly useful for preventing the creation of purchase orders from a specific vendor when there are issues with quality, delivery, or pricing.

Thus, when an indicator is marked as "Blocked," it prevents any purchasing activities from going forward with that source, allowing for better control over suppliers and ensuring that materials are sourced only from reliable sources.

The other indicators mentioned—Just-in-Time (JIT), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and Forecast—are important concepts in materials management but are not directly set as indicators in the source list. JIT pertains to minimizing inventory and supply chain efficiency; MRP is concerned with planning material requirements based on demand and stock levels; and Forecast relates to predicting future material needs. While these concepts may influence procurement decisions and strategies, they do not serve as indicators that can be set within a source list in SAP Materials Management.
