Use

You establish the quota arrangement for a material over a certain period by entering quotas for the various sources of supply in a quota arrangement item.

Prerequisites

Before creating a quota arrangement, you require the following information:

Furthermore, you must define the applications in which the quota arrangement of the material is used (for example, in Materials Planning or in purchase requisitions). Check the Quota arrangement usage field in the purchasing or materials planning and control data of the material master record.

Note

In connection with the quota arrangement, the splitting quota is only relevant to Materials Planning, not to Purchasing.
In Materials Planning, requirements can be split up among various vendors. This is not possible in Purchasing.

Activities

To set up a quota arrangement for the procurement of a material, proceed as follows:

  1. Choose Master data ® Quota arrangement ® Maintain.
  2. Enter the material and plant number. Then press ENTER to display the overview screen for the quota arrangement periods.
  3. Enter a validity period for the quota arrangement.

Enter the date until which the quota arrangement is valid. The start date is calculated by the system.

Press ENTER .
  1. Select the quota arrangement and choose Goto ® Item overview to display the item overview screen of the quota arrangement.
  2. Enter a quota arrangement item for each source of supply you want to include in the quota arrangement. You must enter the following data.

    3. Procurement type

    A quota arrangement can provide for external procurement or in-house production. Enter f (the indicator for external procurement) in the P column.

    Special procurement type

    Enter k in the S column, for example, if a consignment arrangement for the material exists with the vendor.

    Vendor number

    Enter the number of the vendor from whom you want to procure, if the material is procured externally.

    Procurement plant (supplying plant):

    Enter the key of the procurement plant (supplying plant) in column PPl, if the procurement type provides for in-house production.

    Quota

    In the Quota column, enter the quota assigned to each item. The quota determines which portion of a total requirement over a period should be procured from the source in question.

    For example, suppose a quota arrangement contains two sources of supply and you enter a quota of 1 for both. This means that each source is then allocated 50% of the total requirements for the material over the period in question.

  3. Press ENTER .

    4. The percentage distribution of the quotas is calculated and displayed automatically by the system.

  4. Save the quota arrangement.

The system assigns a number to the quota arrangement item automatically.
