Class PurgQuotaArrangementItem

Material number corresponding to manufacturer part number. Uniquely identifies an MPN material. Maximum length: 40.

Maximum Lot Size per Quota Item. Maximum PO quantity that may be allocated to a source of supply per order proposal in the planning run. If the shortage (undercoverage) quantity exceeds the maximum lot size, the quota system is re-applied to the remaining quantity.

Minimum Lot Size per Quota Item. Minimum order quantity that may be allocated to a source of supply per order proposal in the planning run. If the shortage (undercoverage) quantity is less than the minimum lot size, the latter quantity will be allocated to the source instead of the former.

Procurement Type. Indicates the type of procurement (that is, in-house manufacture, i.e. "making in", or external procurement, i.e. "buying out") for the quota arrangement item. Maximum length: 1.

Special procurement type. Indicator that determines the procurement type of the material and, consequently, how the material is procured. A material which is procured externally can be acquired viaa delivery schedule ora consignment order. Maximum length: 1.

Rounding Profile. Key that the system uses to adjust the order proposal quantity to deliverable units. In Customizing, enter a threshold value from which the system should round up to the next value per deliverable unit:If the requirements value exceeds the first threshold value, the system always rounds up to the next multiple of the level foundIf the requirements value falls below the first threshold value, the system copies the original requirements value.Two other types of rounding exist:Dynamic rounding profile:These profiles are used to round up quantities to logistical units of measure (for example, layers). The contents of a logistical unit of measure does not have to be know when creating the rounding profile. It is determined by the master data from the material master.Rounding profile with quantity to be added/subtractedWith these profiles, the given quantity is changed either by adding a percentage or subtracting a percentage.Only static rounding profiles are taken into account in requirements planning. Neither dynamic rounding profiles not quantity addition/ subtraction are taken into account.A material's base unit of measure is 1 unit; the purchase order is to be delivered in layers (1 layer corresponds to 5 units) or in pallets (1 pallet corresponds to 8 layers which contains 40 units).You maintain the profile as follows:From a requirements of 2 units, the system is to round up to 5; from a requirement of 32 units, the system is to round up to 40.This results in the following order proposal quantities:Requirement from 1 -> 1 requirement from 31 -> 30Requirement from 2 -> 5 requirement from 32 -> 40Requirement from 6 -> 10 requirement from 74 -> 80Requirement from 7 -> 10If no rounding profile has been entered, the system uses the rounding value entered in the material master record for the planning run. Maximum length: 4.

Maximum Release Quantity per Period. The "maximum release quantity" defines the maximum quantity that a source of supply can make available/supply within a specified timeframe. If a source with a maximum release quantity is next in line in a quota arrangement, in total no more than this maximum figure can be allocated to it within the specified period. If the lot in question exceeds this maximum, it will be split. The source in question will receive an order covering the difference between the quantity already released and the maximum release quantity. The balance of the lot will be allocated to the next source.The maximum release quantity is only taken into account in the planning run within MRP, not when purchase requisitions or planned orders are created manually.

Number of Periods to Which the Release Quantity Relates. In this field, you determine the number of periods for which the maximum release quantity is valid. Maximum length: 2.

Planned Delivery Time in Days. Number of calendar days needed to obtain the material or service if it is procured externally. If you have different vendors for a material, you must specify an average value. The same applies if you order the material from a fixed vendor that has varying delivery times.If you use the SAP Retail System, the planned delivery time can be suggested from the vendor sub-range in the vendor master record.

Production Version. Key which determines the various production techniques according to which a material can be manufactured. The production version determines the following:the BOM alternative for a BOM explosionthe task list type, the task list group and the task list group counter for allocation to task listslot-size restrictions for repetitive manufacturing. Maximum length: 4.

Quota. Number specifying which portion of a requirement is to be procured from a given source of supply. If a certain material is to be procured alternately from different suppliers, you can create aquota arrangement item for each supplier and assign a quota to each such item. The system then selects the effective source of supply at any given time by means of the following formula:quota rating = quota base quantity + quota-allocated quantity----------------------------------------------quotaThis quota rating is calculated for all sources of supply included in the quota arrangement. The source then selected is the one with the lowest rating.Which supplier or item of an outline purchase agreement is valid at a certain point in time is determined via the source list.Enter the portion of the material requirement that is to be procured from the source. The value is automatically converted into a percentage.If the quota is to be temporarily excluded from the quota arrangement, you can set the quota to '_'.The requirement of a material is to be evenly distributed among three suppliers. That is, the system is to allocate a third of the total requirement to each supplier.Enter 1 as quota for each supplier; the quota per supplier will then automatically be converted to 33%.

Allocated Quantity of Quota Arrangement Item. Total quantity procured to date from the quota arrangement item source. This value is updated in planned orders, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines.

Number of quota arrangement. Uniquely identifies the quota arrangement. Maximum length: 10.

Quota arrangement item. Uniquely identifies the quota arrangement item within a quota arrangement period. Maximum length: 3.

Quota Base Quantity of Quota Arrangement Item. Control quantity for a quota arrangement. Using the quota base quantity, you can regulate the quota arrangement without having to change the quota if, for example, a new source is to be included in the arrangement.You can set the quota base quantity manually or have it determined by the system.

Priority for Determination of Sequence. The priority determines the sequence in which the individual sources of supply are used. Items with priority are always taken into consideration first, before the items for which no priority has been entered. Example without splitting quota:If, for example, you enter priority one along with a maximum release quantity, then this source of supply is always selected until its maximum release quantity has been exhausted. Only then is the next source of supply selected.If no maximum release quantity was entered for the item with priority one, this item would always receive the complete requirement quantity.Example with splitting quota:In this procedure, the items are selected in the order of the quota. This sequence can be overridden using priorities.Please note that the splitting quantity is always based on the quota. Maximum length: 2.

Maximum Quantity of Quota Arrangement Item. A quota arrangement item is no longer suggested as the source if the quota-allocated quantity is equal to or exceeds the maximum quantity.

Period to Which the Release Quantity Relates. Maximum length: 1.

Indicator: "Once-Only". Specifies that a source may only be taken into account once in the apportionment of a lot. If a maximum lot size is specified for a source of supply, and if this source has a much lower quota rating than other sources, the following happens: the lot is split up into several order proposals (each of which amounts to the maximum lot size) which are all assigned to the the source in question.To avoid this, you can set the "once-only" indicator. This will cause the source to be taken into account once only for an amount equal to the maximum lot size. The remaining quantity will be assigned to the next source.

Vendor Account Number. Alphanumeric key uniquely identifying the document. With the supplier number, information from the supplier master record (such as the supplier's address and bank details) is copied into a purchasing document (such as a request for quotation or a purchase order).You can use the supplier number to keep track of requests for quotation, purchase orders and outline agreements. Maximum length: 10.

Plant from Which Material is Procured. Key for the factory or branch of a company (that is, a company code), from which the material is to be procured. You can only enter one supplier number or one plant per quota arrangement item.In the case of process orders, this field should remain empty if the quota arrangement is being used to select a production version. Maximum length: 4.
