Which is NOT a correct method for triggering manual sourcing in SAP S/4HANA?

The choice indicating the MRP automatic suggestion feature is not a correct method for triggering manual sourcing in SAP S/4HANA because this feature is designed specifically for automated processes. MRP, or Material Requirements Planning, generates suggestions based on inventory levels, demand forecasts, and supply chain requirements, aiming for efficient procurement without manual intervention. It operates under predefined rules and algorithms, making decisions autonomously to optimize inventory and procurement processes.

In contrast, manual sourcing methods require user intervention, such as using specific buttons or indicators that facilitate manual selection of suppliers or sourcing strategies. The assignment of source of supply button and the setting of the automatic sourcing indicator are functionalities that help users actively choose where to procure items based on their specific needs or business rules. Similarly, viewing supplier contracts is a manual process involved in assessing and selecting potential suppliers for procurement tasks. These activities align with manual sourcing as they necessitate human judgment and decision-making rather than automation.
