Allocation Quota Arrangement 

Use

Using this procedure, you assign an exact source of supply to every lot, if you have not entered a maximum lot size or maximum release quantity in the quota file.

Features

The assignment is determined using the quota rating. The system calculates the quota rating using the following formula:

Quota rating = Quota-allocated quantity (+ quota base quantity) / Quota

The quota-allocated quantity is thereby the total quantity, which has been procured for the relevant source of supply up until then.

You can control the quota arrangement using the quota base quantity without having to change the quota, if, for example, a new source of supply is to be added to the quota arrangement .

The quota is the percentage rate that defines which part of an occurring requirement is to be taken from a source of supply.

The source of supply, which has the lowest quota rating, receives the complete lot. The quota rating determines the sequence according to which the sources of supply are chosen.
