It has the highest priority during source determination.
Quota arrangement applies to a certain period and describes how the receipts should be divided among each source of supply.
The allotment of purchase orders etc among the vendors having quota arrangement, is carried out as a result of a MRP run and not from a manually created PR. It can only be carried out as a result of aggregate, not individual, requirements.
Setting up of quota arrangement;
· Enter material and plant on the initial screen, specify the validity-till-date of the quota. The start date is either current, or the follow-up date from the end of previous quota.
· Specify the procurement type, internal or external.
· If required, specify special procurement type like stock transfer.
· Enter the vendor or the supplying plant.
· Specify the quota ratio on the basis of which requirements arising over the period are to be apportioned.
Pre-requisite for quota arrangement;
Before assigning a quota arrangement for a material with external procurement, a source of supply (info record and/or outline agreement) must exist.
Quota arrangement usage field, found in the purchasing view of the material, the field specifies which purchasing document and/or the MRP can use quota arrangement specified for the material.
Quota-allocated qty rated + quota base qty
Quota rating =-------------------------------------------------------------
QUOTA
In automatic source determination the vendor with lowest quota rating gets the order. The higher the quota, the lower the quota rating and greater the probability that the relevant source will be determined
For MRP base quota split, lot size indicator ES (exact lot size calculation with splitting) should be used.
