Additional Process Information

To activate quota arrangements, proceed as follows:

In the material master record for the item, specify that a quota arrangement applies to this item.

There is a field in the master record that indicates whether a quota arrangement applies to the relevant material. By entering the appropriate value in this field, you specify whether the quota arrangement applies to requisitions, purchase orders, planned orders, requisitions generated via MRP, or items of scheduling agreements. The quota arrangement can be used for any combination of the aforementioned documents.

Specify the vendors or plants that are to be covered by the quota arrangement.

Quota arrangements are specified individually. You specify the vendors affected by the quotas and the share to be allocated to each individual vendor. A quota arrangement consists of a record containing the vendor or plant, a validity period, a maximum quantity, and the percentage distribution between various vendors and/or plants. If the maximum quantity is exceeded, the system suggests no source on the basis of the quota arrangement.
