A)  If you try to enter a different supplier than the regular supplier in the source list or quota arrangement the system will issue a warning message.
B)  Regular Supplier/Vendor is activated at the Plant level in the Customizing.
C)  Regular Supplier/Vendor is activated at the Purchasing Organization level in the Customizing.
D)  Fixed Supplier in the Source list will have higher priority then the Regular Supplier in the Info Record for manual Source Determination in the PR line item. 
E)  When Regular Supplier is activated, the Source List is no longer used in Source Determination.
.

Answer: A, B, D

In the standard system, the regular supplier is not preferred in the source determination process. Instead, it is treated in the same way as other sources in the Source List without the "Fixed Indicator". To use "Regular Supplier", activate at the Plant level in the Customizing via t-code OMKH. The "Regular Supplier" feature is not used in MRP run for source determination to create Purchase Requisitions in a Planning run. It is used for Manual Source Determination when creating the PR item.
