Sourcing and agreements card

• RFQ: Manage RFQs → Manage Supplier Quotations → Compare Supplier Quotations → award.
• Compare landed cost, lead time, capacity and quality, not unit price alone.
• Contracts: MK quantity (per item), WK value (header); ME31K or Manage Purchase Contracts.
• Release order = PO referencing the contract; check release documentation for consumption.
• Scheduling agreements: ME31L; LP without, LPA with release documentation; ME38 schedules, ME84 releases.
• Source list (ME01): fixed, blocked, MRP indicator 1 (requisitions) or 2 (schedule lines).
• Quota (MEQ1): rating = (allocated + base) ÷ quota; lowest wins; check MRP usage.
• MRP order: quota → source list → scheduling agreement → contract → flagged info record.
• Several valid sources, none marked → no automatic assignment.
• Test: agreement reference and price origin, quota series, blocked sources, validity boundaries.
