A. Source list and PIR both contain the combined information of Material and Vendor but Source list contains the list of vendor who can provide the Material but PIR maintains the price data for unique combination of Material and Vendor. e.g. If a material has 4 vendor source then 1 source list can contain all 4 vendors but there will be a need of 4 PIRs to record the price data.
