This is standard functionality of the “Import Price Catalogs” program functionality. At the time of submitting the import you can specify whether or not to create sourcing rules.
This will automatically create the sourcing rule for all orgs (i.e. not inventory organization specific); assign the sourcing rule to the default assignment set, if an assignment for that item has not been specified; and create an ASL using the effectivity dates from the line interface record.
Note – Header Effective From/To dates are required to be populated.
To create a Sourcing Rule that is inventory org specific, ensure the parameter Global Agreement is ‘No’, Sourcing Level is ‘Item-Organization’ and select the Inventory Organization assignment.
This will then determine which document is used when a destination organization is specified on a requisition.
The sourcing rule is created with a specific Inventory Organization and can only be queried in the application when the Inventory Organization is set to that specified on the sourcing rule.
When it assigns the sourcing rule to the default assignment set, the assigned to field is set to “Item-Organization” and an Organization matching that on the sourcing rule is specified.
Furthermore the ASL will be created with a supplier entry having an owning org equivalent to the Inventory Organization specified on the sourcing rule. Also the attribute created will be ‘Local’.
