Before you can convert the purchase requisition into a purchase order, you must identify the supplier from whom the material must be purchased. Furthermore, you must determine the price for the material. In other words, you have to determine the source of supply for the purchase requisition item.

A source of supply can be both an external supplier and one of your enterprise’s own plants. External sources are represented by purchasing info records and outline agreement items. For these sources of supply, the supplier and the price of the material can be taken from the relevant record or document.
