Contract With Quota Arrangement

Hi
I am using Contract to procure a material from a Vendor.
Incase if have more than 1 vendor can I use the Quota arrangement ?
If the PR is created (By MRP) does it consider the Contract ?
What are the steps involved to work with Quota for Contract.
Regards
MM

Dear,
Contract cannot be used as a source in Quota Arrangemnets.
Quota arrangements and Contract both are different which you already know and maintained in the system to service different purposes.
What about - Why can't maintain quota arrangements for all vendors who have contracts [when vendors are different] ?

Assign Source of Supply User Exit with Quota Arrangements in ME57 and ME56

Hi there,
We are using Quota Arrangements to define Vendor rebate levels and we have enabled User Exit EXIT_SAPLMEQR_001 to provide a more informative popup to replace standard Source of Supply popup as need to display current allocation quantities and % allocation fulfiled.
This User Exit is invoked during Assign Source of Supply during PReq processing (More precisely during Assign Source of Supply in ME51n and Automatic Source of Supply in ME57 and ME56) which all works fine.
When used in ME51n and Source of Supply Assigned and PReq saved, the allocated quantity against the valid Quota Arrangement (EQUK-QUMNG) is successfully updated with the relevant amount
When using ME56 or ME57 to Automatically Assign source of Supply via the PReq list, the User Exit is invoked correctly and on selecting Vendor and saving the PReq is update correctly, however the allocated quantity against the valid Quota Arrangement (EQUK-QUMNG) is NOT updated with the relevant amount
I have searched SAP Notes and debuged with limited success but cannot find evidence as to why this difference is happening - I assume that it has something to do with User Exit but any advice gratefully received if anyone else has experienced this issue?

While Creating PO with Quota Arrangement Quantity is not picking by % given

HI ALL.
created Quota arrangement with 2 vendors.
And assigined Percentages like 30 and 70 for this.
Created Purcahse requisition and purchase order.
But quanity with vendor percentages is not executing.
Regards.
Paramesh.
Advance Thanks.

Hi
Can you give more information. How you create the PR & PO manually or via MRP.
Quota arrangement works for automatic source determination and it has the highest priority.
Also Splitting quota is only possible with MRP.

Std-Price calculation with Quote arrangement

Hello Experts,
I set up a quote arrangement (MEQ1) for one Material. This quote arrangement including two production version 0001 and 0002 with proc.type E, as third line I added a vendor with proc. type F.
How can I calculate the std. price based on the proc. type F line, line should be slected by the system automatically and not based on the prod. versions (E).
Thanks in advance
Jörg

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your inputs. In the std costing run system is showing components as below.
Material cost 110$
Material overheads 10$
Labor cost 20$
Labor Overheads 10$
In this Material cost 110$ , materials overheads also included(100$+10$). Why system is calculating Material overheads twice please suggest what mistake i did.
The material overhead percentage rate is 10%.
As per my client requirement system should calculate components as shown below
Material cost 100$
Material overheads 10$
Labor cost 20$
Labor overheads 10$
Please advise its very urgent, your inputs will be rewarded with points.
Thanks&Regards,

KANBAN with Quota arrangement

Dear Guru,
Ist possible to use Quota arrangement in KANBAN external Procurement (Scheduling Agreement)?
If so, please advice me how to do it... i am new to KANBAN.
Regards,
Senthil

Hi Kumara,
As per my knowledge Quota Arrangement is not possible to use in KANBAN with Schedulling Agreement.
However pls find below the process steps for KANBAN WITH SCHEDULING AGREEMENT:
You can carry out KANBAN with Replenishment Strategy- External Procurement in following two ways :
1.     External procurement from Vendor to Main Stores:
Basic rules and Prerequisites:
u2022     MRP type should be u2018NDu2019 in MRP1 view of material master.
u2022     Availability check should be u201CKPu201D in MRP3 view of material master.
u2022     Material received from vendor is directly posted to unrestricted stock. Inspection at vendors place or vendoru2019s process control to ensure rejection free material. Inspection set up in Material master should be inactive.
u2022     Backflush is not required and Material is issued against a Pick List for Production Order.
Process steps:
1.     Create supply area for Main stores. TC: PK05
2.     If required, extend the material to main storage location. TC: MMSC
3.     Make the necessary changes in the material master as explained above.
4.     Create scheduling agreement. Put kanban indicator (X) in the additional data of item.
5.     Create Kanban control cycle. TC:PKMC
6.     Print the barcode. TC:PK17
7.     Set the kanban status to EMPTY by scanning the barcode. TC: PKBC. A Schedule line will be generated for the supply of material to main stores.
8.     View the demand source view. TC: PK13n
9.     When the material is received at Gate, perform goods receipt into blocked stock (movement type 103). TC: MIGO
10.     Once the material reaches Main stores scan the barcode to FULL. TC: PKBC (At the background GR with 105 movement will happen).
2.     External procurement from Vendor directly to shop:
Basic rules and Prerequisites:
u2022     MRP type should be u2018NDu2019 in MRP1 view of material master.
u2022     Availability check should be u201CKPu201D in MRP3 view of material master.
u2022     Backflush indicator is must. It can be defined in the routing or in the material master itself. If Backflush indicator is set in the material master, then the material will be backflushed through out the plant (Material issue not required against production order). However if you want the material to be backflushed only when it is used for certain products, then Backflush indicator should be set in the routing ( in the component allocation against operations).
u2022     Confirmation should be done for each operation in the production order either individually (CO11n) or collectively (CO15). Confirmation posts goods issue of components (relevant to confirmed operation/s) to production order
u2022     Maintain KN01 storage location in the field - production storage location of MRP2 view in the material master. Back flushing will take place from this location. Field - Storage location for external procurement should be KN01 in the material master.
u2022     Material received from vendor is directly posted to unrestricted stock. Inspection at vendors place or vendoru2019s process control to ensure rejection free material. Inspection set up in Material master should be inactive.
Process steps:
1.     Create supply area for kanban stores (KN01). TC: PK05
2.     Extend the material to Kanban storage location. TC: MMSC
3.     Make the necessary changes in the material master as explained above.
4.     Create scheduling agreement. Put kanban indicator (X) in the additional data of item.
5.     Create Kanban control cycle. TC:PKMC
6.     Print the barcode. TC:PK17
7.     Set the kanban status to EMPTY by scanning the barcode. TC: PKBC. A Schedule line will be generated for the supply of material to kanban store.
8.     View the demand source view. TC: PK13n
9.     When the material is received at Gate, perform goods receipt into blocked stock (movement type 103). TC: MIGO
10.     Once the material reaches shop, scan the barcode to FULL. TC: PKBC (At the background GR with 105 movement will happen).
Hope this helps.
Revert if any doubt and reward points if useful.

MRP Rescheduling Error with quota arrangement

Hi i have a problem when using a Quota arrangement in MRP. When i use NME59N to order,the system proposes to bring the first vendor 100% for a month and then the next supplier for a minimal share the following month. the quota is available clearly in PR'S but when converted to PO'S the rescheduling takes the first po as a referrece instead the assigned PR'S.Can any one help me sorting out this?

When you run ME59N you will convert the requisitions inot POs (the same requisitions that you see in MD04). The vendor assignment is not modified by ME59N. This is already done by the Quota when the MRP runs.
In ME59N you can control if each requisition will be converted into a single PO, if multiple requisitions are going to be joined and converted into a single PO, etc.
I am still not sure if your problem is with ME59N or what you don't like is how the vendor is assigned (considering the Quota) when the MRP is executed? If you see in MD04, is the assignment correct? if the vendor assignment that you see in MD04 is not what you want.. then we should find a solution working with the Quota and with the MRP paramenters. Is your problem the vendor assignment that you see in MD04?

Quota arrangement - winning contract is not auto assign in SC

My Problem: Winning contract is not auto assign to Shopping cart
I created a Quota Arrangement (QA). It contains 2
contracts, for example in line item 1, contain Contract with Supplier
'A', with target percentage of 60%. In line item 2, contain Contract with
Supplier 'B', with target percentage of 40%. I did not specify any quotabase quantity.
For your info, the contract for Supplier 'A" is a Purchasing Contract,
with target value of 80 (currency Malaysian Ringgit). Contract for
Supplier 'B' has target value of 20 (currency Malaysian Ringgit). When Icreate a Shopping Cart, with quantity 5 (each-EA) and price per unit is
2
(Malaysian Ringgit), total is MYR10. When I go to Source of Supply tab,
the system showed 2 suppliers from the 2 contracts. It did not
automatically assigned to the winning contract. We still have to choose
which contract to be assigned. I created another SC after that until theContract exceeded quantity, but the system does not proposed winning
contract automatically. Please help.
Cheers

yes, the contract have company code

What are the config steps for contract mass change and quota arrangement?

Hi friends
what are the config steps for contract mass change and quota arrangement?
Regards
Raj Kumar

Process Flow
The mass change process consists of four steps. You navigate between these steps by choosing the Next and Back buttons located at the bottom right-hand corner of the screens.
       1.      Search for contracts
You search for and select the contracts or the contract hierarchy that you want to change.
Contracts that have the status Closed cannot be changed.
       2.      Define mass changes
You specify the changes you want to make.
You make changes at header data level and at item data level by choosing the relevant change methods. A green tick appears next to each change parameter so that you can see where changes are already active.
Once you enter this step, the documents you have selected to be changed are locked so that other users cannot make changes to them until you are finished with this process.
       3.      Simulate mass changes
Here you can perform a trial run of your mass changes. This simulation step is optional.
We recommend that you perform this step so that you can check how the change methods you have chosen will be processed by the system.
You receive status messages about the change methods for each contract and can quickly see whether any errors arise in connection with the proposed changes at this stage. From this step, it is easier for you to go back and correct the error than after applying the changes.
Background processing
The system processes the changes in the background.
If there are a large number of contracts to be processed, this step could take some time to complete. In this case, you can leave the transaction so that you can, for example, carry out other tasks in the meantime.
The system sends you an e-mail once the simulation step is complete. The e-mail contains a link to the relevant screen in the application so that you can return to it when it is convenient for you to do so. If you have left the SRM application, you can only return via this link.
Here you can see the status of the changes and, if necessary, you can correct any errors by going back to the Define mass changes step.
The messages that you receive in the simulation step are not confirmation that a change has been performed. They simulate the messages you get after you apply the changes. You must complete the final step of the mass change process and apply the changes before they take effect.
       4.      Carry out mass changes
Here you apply the changes to the contracts.
You cannot reverse this step, which is why we advise you to perform the simulation step beforehand.

SNP quota arrangement with fixed lot size

Hi all,
i have a question regarding quota arrangement for external procurement in snp heuristic. Whe have 2 sources of suppy created by info record. The quota is 25% for the first and 75% for the second one. In product master there is maintained a fixed lot sice of 500.000. Im wondering that the snp heuristic creates 2 requisitions of 500.000 for each sos at the same day. So we get an serios excess. Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Christian

Hi,
thanks for reply. Ok, normally net requirement calculation works properly. In case of a shortage the heuristic shall apply an receipt with the fixed lot size wich is maintained in material master. However, in out particular case it generates the double receipt quantity which is not needed at the receipt date.
The heuristic should do the following:
Day 01 Stock 100
Day 02 DepDmd 20
Day 03 DepDmd 20
Day 04 DepDmd 20
Day 05 DepDmd 20
Day 06 DepDmd 20
Day 07 PurReq 100 !! Source 1!!
Day 08 DepDmd 20
Day xx PurReq 100 !! Source 2!!
and not:
Day 01 Stock 100
Day 02 DepDmd 20
Day 03 DepDmd 20
Day 04 DepDmd 20
Day 05 DepDmd 20
Day 06 DepDmd 20
Day 07 PurReq 100 !! Source 1!!
Day 07 PurReq 100 !! Source 2!!
Day 08 DepDmd 20
In this example 100 would be the fixed lot size from material master.
Best regards,
Christian

How to maintain Quota arrangement with respect to production verson

Hi,
I maintained Quota arrangement(without splitting) with respect to the two different production versions of a material and when i checked by running MRP. quota arrangement is not working. the system allocates the demand only to the active production version(which has the current validity period).
I guess i am missing something, can some one tell me how to maintain the quota arrangement with respect to production versions.
we have a requirement where a material is manufactured in house and will have 2 different production versions with 2 different validity periods in material master and they need the quota arrangement to work on this material in M.R.P for 2 different production versions.
I have maintained the quota arrangement usage= 3 in material master.
Thanks
Mahendra

Hi,
for the req qty to be distributed between two differnt production vesion, you might have to activate splitting in MEq1.
Give the min qty as 1, so that you req qty could be distributed between two differnt production version.
Pls conifm if it is through or if there is any other solution .
regards
Harish

Source determination with referance to quota arrangement

Dear all
I had created quota for vendor A & Vendor B for a material M100, I had also defined quota arrangement usage in SPRO ( 3),
While creation of PR for this material M100, I had selected the tick for source determination, But still system is not determining the source.
Here one more observation is if I create the info record the source is determined from info record & the details are updated in quota.
Can some one help me which other things I need to check, so that the source is automatically determined by system from quota arrangement.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Pravin

HI,
If MIGO is done for the P.O all the datas are updated in the Purchase order history.
When you are doing MIRO , it will take what you have entered in the MIGO only.

Can someone pl explain Quota arrangement process in MM?

Hi Folks,
I am new to MM, could someone pl explain the quota arrangement steps step by step anything with screen would be very helpful
for beginners like me with examples.
Also could some also pl tell me the Source priority in terms of Source of supply?
Thanks.

Dear,
Quota Arrangements :
In simple words: Distributing the requirements quantity between potential source of suppliers (Vendors) - basing on their order fulfillment capacity.
In business terminology:
Quota arrangements allow you to define target percentages and distribute them between two or more purchasing contracts. A quota arrangement ensures that a contract is guaranteed both a minimum sales volume and a percentage of the total purchasing volume of the product category or product. A quota arrangement has the highest priority in the sourcing process.
Quota Arrangements
Quota Arrangements means a mechanism enabling the system to compute which source of supply to assign to a requirement for a material.
If a material can be obtained from various sources of supply, each individual source of supply can be allocated a quota arrangement. The quota arrangement is valid for a certain period of time and specifies exactly how the receipts are to be distributed amongst each source of supply.
We can set the quota arrangement for in-house production as well as for external procurement. Setting quotas permits the automatic apportionment of a total material requirement over a period to different sources.
Sources of supply can be:
- an individual vendor or outline agreement
- another plant, from which material should be procured
- a production version
Quota Arrangement Usage
The quota arrangement facilitates the determination of the applicable sources of supply for the following at a certain time.
Purchase orders
Scheduling agreement delivery schedules
Planned orders
Purchase requisitions
Materials planning and control
In customizing activity, we specify for each material master record which quota arrangement rule is allowed. We group the usage combinations you have chosen under different keys.
We have to assign quota arrangement usage key to material master record in purchasing or MRP2 view (Maintaining Material Master Record T.Code MM01)
The quota arrangement usage determines whether a material is included in a quota arrangement and which operations lead to a quota arrangement.
We have to maintain the quota file for the material. Here we define the sequence of the sources of supply, the quotas per source of supply and numerous other parameters in the quota file.
Maintaining the Quota File
A quota arrangement file consists of quota arrangement records identifying the source (such as a vendor or an internal plant), the validity period, and the quota allocated to each source.
We can maintain the quota file. Following are the steps for maintaining this file.
T. Code: MEQ1
The initial screen for maintaining quota appears.
Enter the material number and the plant for the material that you want to use to maintain the quota file and choose. The header screen for maintaining quotas appears.
Enter the Valid to date for the quota arrangement item.
We can only define continuous validity periods for one material. In the first interval, the system sets the current date in the Valid from field. The Valid from dates of the other intervals are set continuously so that the day after the end date of the last quota item is set as the start date for the next item.
If we want to work with splitting quota arrangements, we will enter a minimum quantity here.
Double-click on the item to process.
The item screen now appears.
Here we will define the source of supply and other control parameters per item.
Allocating the source of supply to the quota item determines the procurement type that the procurement proposal receives. Therefore, we can specify via the quota arrangement that, for example, 75% of a material is produced in-house and the other 25% is procured externally.
Save entries.

Syed Hussain.

Quota Arrangement || Allocated Quantity

Hi All,
I am currently dealing with two issues related to Quota Arrangement which are as follows:
I have a product in APO on which inbound quota arrangement is set. The product is procured from a vendor and purchase requisitions are created on it. The validity of the quota is from 01.01.2000 to 31.12.2014. Now as per the business requirement we need to extend the validity till 31.12.2015. In APO we can't extend the validity of the quota. The other option is to delete this quota and create the new quota arrangement of desired validity. But the challenge is 32,654 quantity is already allocated to it( in Allocated quantity field, which is as per my understanding the sum quantity of purchase requisitions and purchase orders). If I delete the quota what will be the affects of it ???. How should I proceed with this issue ???
I have integrated a new product in APO and I am trying to arrange a quota for the same. I created it successfully. There are purchase requisitions and purchase orders created on it. However, I can see 0 in the allocated quantity field. Can anyone help me in understanding the reason behind 0 Allocated Quantity ???
Thanks,
Swapnil

Dear Sethuraman,
P - Type of procurement (Internal manufacturing, External Procurement).
S - Special procurement type. For example consignment / sub-contracting.
Vendor - Number of Vendor Master
PPI - Your internal plant from which you will be manufacturing the material.
Ver. - Production version.
Quota - The quota percentage in which the required quantity is to be splitt.
Allocated Qty - Total quantity from all purchase requisitions, purchase orders, release orders, and scheduling agreement schedules allocated to a given source of supply. (The quantities of quota-allocated planned orders are also taken into account.)
Maximum Quantity - Max qty which is to be assigned to this vendor.
Quota Base quantity - If you get a new vendor in the quota arrangement, the quota base quantity is to be entered here to avoid all requirements being assigned to the new vendor.
Max & Min Lot Size - The lot size related to this vendor.
Rounding Profile -
1X - Mark tick here of the vendor is to be assigned only one lot during a MRP run. (may be due to capacity restriction).
Maximum Release quantity - Max qty the vendor should be assigned per MRP period.
No. - Number of periods for which the Max release qty relates.
P - Period to which this qty relates.
Pr - Priority determination sequence
Determining the Quota Base Quantity
The quota base quantity is used only when you include a new source in an existing quota arrangement.

Source list & quota arrangement

At which level the source list is maintained:
Client Level
Plant Level
Purchasing Org. level
When source determination takes place, does the quota arrangement takes precedence over a fixed vendor?

Hi Vishal,
At which level the source list is maintained?
Plant level.
When source determination takes place, does the quota arrangement takes precedence over a fixed vendor?
Yes, it does.
The system determines the source of supply of a requested material on the basis of the following factors (in the order shown):
1. Quota arrangement
The system first determines whether a quota arrangement within whose validity period the delivery date in the requisition falls exists for the material.
If a quota arrangement exists, the system determines the vendor from whom the material is to be procured according to the quotas assigned to the vendors and then suggests the source.
If no source can be determined this way, the system checks the source list.
2. Source list
The system determines whether an entry in the source list within whose validity period the delivery date of the requisition falls exists for the material. The source in question may be a fixed vendor or an outline agreement (contract or scheduling agreement).
If the source list contains a unique source, the requisition is assigned to that source.
If several sources are found, a box appears for selection purposes.
If no source could be determined, the existing outline agreements and info records are examined.
3. Outline agreement and info record
The system searches for contracts, scheduling agreements, and info records for the material and suggests these.
(If info records with more than one purchasing organization exist, all info records of the purchasing organization(s) that is/are responsible for procurement for the requesting plant are also suggested.)
If several outline agreements and perhaps info records exist, all possible sources are offered for selection in a box.
When an info record is found, the following two additional checks are carried out:
- Check of supply region
The system checks whether a certain supply region is specified in the associated vendor master record. If so, the system checks whether the plant in the purchase requisition belongs to this region. If not, the info record is discarded as a possible source.
- Check of regular vendor
The system checks whether a regular vendor has been specified for the material (that is, a vendor valid for the entire corporate group, or client). If this is the case, and it has been specified in Customizing that the regular vendor takes precedence, the info record for this vendor will be preferred as the source.
Hope this will help.
Regards,
Ferry Lianto
