Material with 2 vendors
I have a material that are provided by 2 vendors. The material will have a price for each vendor. Also a manufacturing part number for each vendor. In Purchasing Info Rec, i can pick corresponding price for each vendor. However, how can i pick correspoding price for each vendor in the purchase order ? The manuf part num is printed in the purch order. I prefer not to create two separate material numbers for each vendor. What is the better approach to this issue ? Any ideas ?
Thank you in advance.

Answer Wiki:
The Info Record consists of the combination of a single vendor and single material. Since a purchase order can be assigned to only 1 vendor, SAP looks for the Info Record with that particular vendor/material combination and the correct Info Record is chosen. If the system does not find an Info Record with that combination, one is created with the price listed on the PO.

Hi PatJohn, Thank you for your quick reply. You are very right about the info rec to track the price for each vendor. In my posted message, i meant to pick up the manufacturing part number for the different vendors for the same material. I made an error in my posted message.
Would you know if tracking manuf part num can be done in info record or other way ? Thank you again for your help.
There is a field in the Inf Record’s General Data screen “Vendor mat no.” that is used for this purpose. You may have to change your PO print program to pick this up.
The field ‘vendor nmat no’ is a good suggestion…just that print program may need change. I will look into it.
Thank you for all your help.
