Quota Arrangement
The quota arrangement is the percentage that specifies which proportion of a required quantity of a product is to be procured from a source of supply (inbound quota arrangement) or supplied to a location (outbound quota arrangement). This percentage defines which part of a product quantity split should be assigned to a transportation lane.
Quota arrangements can be defined as either version-dependent or model-dependent, and as either product-dependent or product-independent. Quota arrangements are defined for a certain area of validity.
Inbound Quota Arrangement
Starting point is the source location of a delivery. For each product, an inbound quota arrangement specifies which part of the quantity should be supplied from which of the possible source locations. Possible source locations are all locations that are listed as source locations of transportation lanes for a specific destination location.
Inbound quota arrangements can be defined for the following source of supply types:
Locations (transportation lanes)
External procurement relationships
SAP APO only: In-house production (production process models, iPPE access objects, or production data structures)
Outbound Quota Arrangements
Starting point is the destination location of a delivery. For each product, an outbound quota arrangement specifies which part of the product quantity should be transported to which of the possible destination locations. Possible destination locations are all the directions or destination locations of transportation lanes starting at the defined source location.
Outbound quota arrangements can only be created for locations.
