Does T-Lane Duration take priority over Quota Arrangement for SNP Heuristics?

Hi,
I have the following scenario setup for SNP Heuristics.
Source : S1, S2
Destination : D0
T-Lanes are All Product valid from years 2012 - 9999
T-Lane : S1 -> D0 : 0hr Duration
T-Lane : S2 -> D0 : 144 hr Duration
Inbound Quota Arrangements at D0 - 100% to Partner Location S2 ( no quota for source S1)
When I run Location Heuristic in Data View for a demand 2 days from current day, it is sourcing from S1 even though I have 100% Quota arrangement to source it from S2. Is this correct?
Regards

Hi,
The quota has priority, so S2 should be determined.
This is what I would do:
I would check again than the Quota is well mainatined: check the validity period, double check the quota is 100% for S2. You could even recreate the Quota again.
Check MAT1 for your Material in all the locations S1 & S2.
Check that your t-lane S2 --> D0 is ok.. not blocked.
Try to create an Transport Requisitions manually in RRP3 at location D0 and chose source S2.
If after point 4 you can create manually teh requisition assigning S2, then something is wrong with your Quota. In this case check these threads:
Quota arrangement not considered during snp heuristic

Over Quota warning for deleted user

We keep getting, "over quota" warnings for a users that no longer has an account on the mail server. The user has been deleted from the Workgroup and her mailboxes were deleted via command line, but we keep getting over quota warnings. Anyone every seen this? Or know how to make it stop? We're runnning OS 10.4.9.
Connie

Matt,
The problem is that this is not being initiated from a task, but form our nightly maintenance job. These users are falling off because of AD updates outside of our system.
If a DN is deleted from AD, it's already been removed from the groups in AD, but the privileges in our Identity Store haven't synced yet. If we strip all privileges before the entry is deleted, and the DN is no longer valid, the event task will bomb because it is trying to remove a user that doesn't exist anymore.
I'm thinking of just trapping it in the jobs with a script that checks that the user DN is not null. If it is, just skip the entry.
And yes, I will be at TechEd.
Thanks,
Jared

Quota arrangement in SNP heuristic

Dear all,
we want to use inbound quota arrangement in snp heuristic to distribute the demand among different ppm. But it seems that the snp heuristic don't respect periodic lot sizes in case of quota arrangement. In product master we have defined 2 weeks periodic lotsize. But the heuristic applies muliple planned oders for the same day. Any ideas?
Christian

Hi Christian,
I checked in sap help files also and found that SNP heuristic does not support periodic lot sizes in terms of quota arrangements. I have given below the lot size supported by sap from sap help as follows:-
Lot size
· Procedure (lot-for-lot, fixed lot size etc.)
· Safety stock method

Do apple devices take priority (in bandwidth) over non-Apple devices?

When I use even 1 of my Apple devices at home, my housemate's PC slows down or even freezes. When I use a PC laptop, it also slows down or freezes, until I turn off all of my Apple devices. (I have an iMac, iPad, iPhone and iPod.)
My housemate says she heard that Apple devices "hog" the bandwidth, i.e., take priority over non-Apple devices. I didn't want to believe this, but after doing some experiments with shutting my devices off and on, while using a PC, it kinda looks like she is right.
My questions:
1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
2) Is there anything i can do to change this? I like my housemate, and I don't want her to leave. (Also, I appreciate the rental income.) Also, I like my Apple devices.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)

1) Is it true that Apple devices take priority over non-Apple devices when it comes to using bandwidth?
It is often reported.. but this kind of thing has been going on since wireless came along.. partly due to how many different manufacturers we have of wireless gear.. and the fact they all make stuff according to the code IEEE produce (cough, gollum, gollum!!) with their own little gidgets on side.
Apple systems are propriety.. they are designed to work with apple products.. and maybe windows.. as long as they don't use intel wireless cards or realtek or some others.. and the drivers are compatible.. and the moon is full and you hold your tongue on the left side of your cheek.
2) Is there anything i can do to change this? I like my housemate, and I don't want her to leave. (Also, I appreciate the rental income.) Also, I like my Apple devices.
Yes, it is very simple.. buy a $30 TP-Link wireless N-Lite router and use it as an AP plugged into your apple router.
3) Do you know if switching Internet service providers would help? (We have Comcast.)
Has nothing to do with ISP.. but if you already have a wireless router gateway from your ISP use the wireless on that for your housemate.

Give MacBook iSight priority over LED Cinema Display iSight?

Hi all,
I have a new MacBook purchased in January 2010, which I hook up to a new Apple LED Cinema Display purchased a couple of weeks ago. Both the MacBook and display have iSight cameras built in.
I seem to be able to have both cameras working independently of each other within iChat and Photo Booth, but when I try and use a webcam on a website chatroom, no matter what I try, the camera in the display takes priority over the MacBook. I want the display camera to be disabled, and for the MacBook camera to work instead.
I have tried setting up the displays both as mirrored and extended, and tried moving the menu bar from display to MacBook and vice versa, but as soon as I enter a chatroom, the display camera is used.
I have tried altering the Flash settings in the chatrooms, but because both cameras are integrated and so have the same input settings, that doesn't work.
I have a feeling I am trying to achieve the impossible, but any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Hi,
An Interesting one.
I am not sure there are any setting on the Mac to change this.
System Profiler is not "Dragable" to re-order the USB list.
Although it may be possible to use Terminal to re-order any list or priority that would be beyond my knowledge.
I would tend to go for the work around of using Photo Booth or iChat to make the unwanted camera Busy.

We are trying to do this....
The Customer has about 150K boxes
They have requirement to keep the over-quota messages for 7-14 days. They may want to re-think this requirement. The reality is that due to the masses of spam email mailboxes are getting full very fast and storing emails for over-quota messages results in the systems having to process these bounces, which in turn clogs other mail channels.
They feel, channel might get clogged and there fore looking for a custom channel optionThe short answer is no, you cannot do this. Once the email has made it to the ims-ms queue there it stays waiting for delivery. If the email is 'over-quota' then the ims-ms channel will just keeping waiting to deliver the email -- much the same as any other channel.
As for the channel getting "clogged", this is always a possibility and it will need to be tuned/configured as appropriate. The customer may want to increase the "backoff" parameters to reduce the number of retries.

Source determination,Quota Arrangement Process

Hi,
Plz tell me how to maintain Source determination,Quota Arrangement.step by step

Dear,
QUOTA ARRANGEMENTS
If a quota arrangement exists for a material, it has the highest priority during source determination. Like source list, the quota arrangement facilitates the administration of sources of supply at plant level.
If you procure a material from different suppliers, you can assign a quota to each individual supplier. A quota arrangement applies to a certain period and specifies how the receipts should be distributed among each source of supply.
If a quota arrangement exists, this does not mean that the quantity of a single manually created purchase requisition is automatically apportioned among different sources. In such case, the entire quantity of the requisition is assigned to one source u2013 the source that is next in line receive the relevant order.
Before you can maintain a quota arrangement item with the procurement type external procurement, a source of supply (info record and / or outline agreement) must exists.
Create quota arrangement:
LOGISTICS u2013MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 QUOTA ARRANGEMNET u2013 MAINTAIN.
Specify number ranges for quota arrangement:
SAP IMG u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 QUOTA ARRANGEMENT u2013 DEFINE NUMBER RANGES.
You must specify the business application for which quotation arrangement will be used, for example: in material planning or in purchase requisitions. You make this specification in QUOTA ARRANGEMENT USAGE filed, which is to be found in the plant-specific purchasing/materials planning data of the material master record.
Set quota arrangement usage indicator:
SAP IMG u2013 MATERIALS MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 QUOTA ARRANGEMENT u2013 DEFINE QUOTA ARRANGEMENT USAGE.
System assign quota rating to each source by calculation as u2013 Quota rating = (quota allocated quantity + quota base quantity / quota).
ADDITIONAL ASPECTS OF SUPPLY SOURCE DETERMINATION
Quota arrangements also can be source of supply.
Quota arrangements for material requirements arising over a certain period divided up among different sources on basis of quota. Quota arrangements determine which source of supply is automatically assigned to a purchase requisition.
SOURCE DETERMINATION
The purpose of the source determination process is to automatically assign a source of supply to a purchase requisition, if source determination indicator set in the requisition header, the system searches for possible sources of supply for all the items of the requisition. Quota arrangements also can be source of supply.
In source list specify a preferred source as fixed for a certain period, the system suggest just only this source, even if other potential sources exists.
Quota arrangements for material requirements arising over a certain period divided up among different sources on basis of quota. Quota arrangements determine which source of supply is automatically assigned to a purchase requisition.
Source list record consists of the following:
1.Validity period u2013 Period of validity
2.Key source data u2013 Number of vendor and responsible purchasing organization or number and item of outline agreement.
3.Fixed source u2013 Within a validity period not more than one source should be flagged as fixed.
4.Procurement plant u2013 if the materials can be procured from a plant or another point within your firm, enter the plant number in PPl field and leave the field for the vendor number empty.
5.Blocked source u2013 To block a source. If you set Blocked indicator and enter only one validity period, the material is excluded from external procurement; that is, it cannot be ordered during this period.
6.Material requirements planning - You use MRP indicator to determine whether an automatic source determination process is carried out during the requirements planning run. The appropriate source is then automatically assigned to a purchase requisition, or scheduling agreement delivery schedule lines can be generated directly via planning run.
If an attempt is made to order a material subject to a source list requirement from a source that is not included in the source list, the standard system issues an error message with the text: Source not included in list despite source list requirement. You can change this to warning message.
If source list requirement defined for a plant, all materials in the plant level must be maintained with source list before procurement.
Analyze source list:
LOGISTICS u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMNET u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 FOLLOW ON FUNCTIONS u2013 ANALYSE.
Define source list requirement at plant level:
SAP IMG u2013 MM u2013 PURCHSING u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 DEFINE SOURCE LIST AT PLANT LEVEL.
Source lists can be created:
-Manually.
-Create from within an outline agreement u2013 on outline agreement overview screen, select an item for which you wish to enter source list record and choose ITEM u2013 MAINTAIN SOURCE LIST.
-Creation from with an info record u2013 you can enter vendor in the source list when creating or changing a purchasing info record. Choose EXTRAS u2013 SOURCE LIST. If the info record valid for entire purchase organization, you can create the source list for all plants of the organization in question. Choose the plant via GOTO u2013 PLANT.
-Automatic u2013 can generate by system automatically.
Create source list manually:
LOGISTICS u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 MAINTAIN/DISPLAY.
Generate source list automatically:
LOGISTICS u2013 MATERIAL MANAGEMENT u2013 PURCHASING u2013 MASTER DATA u2013 SOURCE LIST u2013 FOLOW ON FUNCTIONS u2013 GENERATE.

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 in R/3 for APO generated planned order materials?

Quota arrangement for the planned order materials generated from APO and when
it is at the inbound side of R/3 while in CIF i.e.
u2022 Once the Planned order is created in APO and when it is at the inbound side of R/3 while in CIF u2013 the system will first check in the table(EQUK) against the material and plant whether there is any valid u201CQuota arrangement numberu201D(EQUK-QUNUM) .
u2022 Then from the table (EQUIP) against the u201CQuota arrangement numberu201D the system needs to calculate the percentage quota(from QUOTE field) of the material concerned against each production version.
u2022 Finally the Planned order of the material needs to be converted into more than one Planned orders as per the production versions and in the ratio as mentioned in the quota arrangement.
Actually Functionality exists today in R/3 whereby MRP will generate more than 1 planned order if production version quota arrangements exist. For example if via MEQ1 a quota arrangement exists to split requirements 60-40 between production version 1 and production version 2 then MRP will generate 2 planned orders using the 60-40 split.
Does this still occur if APO generates the order materials and CIFs it to R/3?
*I mean I had a requirement where APO generated planned orders to be split automatically and the correct PVs(Production version EQUP-VERID) to be assigned if quotas(EQUP-QUOTE) exist in R/3 side??*
please help me asap this will b really appreciated and high points will be given....

How to know if a MRP run element is using Quota Arrangement and lot size?

Hi all,
Two questions:
A) How to determine if a source is actually pulled from Quota Arrangement?
I am wondering if there is anyway from ABAP table or from Transaction (i.e. Purchasing Order) in which the source is pulled from a Quota Arrangement?
We use scheduling agreement, PIR and source list, and as well as Quota Arrangement for our purchasing.
I just want to know how, from system (table and transaction), to find out the source is from quota, not from PIR or others.
B) Quota Arrangement still can work properly if lot-size procedure's splitting quota indicator not Checked?
If my the lot-size procedure which I am using for a material does not activate the splitting quota indicator, it means split quota will not work during MRP run.
But does this also mean that quota arrangement will not be working for this particular material even if I have create a a quota arrangement object (via MEQ1) for this material?
Thanks
Daniel

Tomek,
If I want to use the split quota, it seems there is some pre-requisite.
If you go to MEQ1 and press F1's on the "Minimum qty split" column, and you will notice the following message.
Allocation by quota using splitting quotas is only carried out via a requirement planning run, subject to the following preconditions:
Through the appropriate entry in the field Quota arrangement usage (on the MRP data screen 2 or Purchasing screen) it must have been specified that a quota arrangement is to be applied in the planning run.
The indicator for the splitting quota must be set for the the lot-sizing procedure used for materials planning purposes in Customizing.
Hence, the quota arrangmeent still workable even if the lot-size does not have the spliting quota box checked?
Indicator: Splitting quota in short-term horizon
The indicator for splitting is used to determine that in the case of the selected lot size, the quota arrangement is to be applied using the splitting logic.
Use
If this indicator has been set, the lot is split up in the planning run according to the following formula:
quota for source X
Quantity for source X = --------------------- * requirement
sum of all quotas

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
Edited by: SAP-MM1 on Sep 18, 2011 2:55 PM

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] ?

Syed Hussain.

Regarding Quota Arrangment

Dear Gurus,
I have to activate quota arrangement in our organization. I have done the following steps to active the quota arrangement, 1)Activated the Quota arrange usage in material master.
2).Activated the Source list in material master. 3)Created the product requirement
4).Maintained the quota arrangement for Vendor X and Vendor Y 50 percent accordingly
5).Material requirement planning - MRP run for particular product
As per the quota arrangement in this stage PR should create for Vndr X and Vndr Y. But it is not happing.
Your answer will be highly appreciated.
Reg/ Shankar G.

Dear All,
Thanks for your valuable replies; I have done the quota arrangement successfully.
The following functions are done to achieve the goal.
u2022     I have created the info record for both vendors.
u2022     Activated the Quota arrange (3) usage in Material Master (Purchasing)
u2022     Activated the source list-purchasing
u2022     Maintained the quota arrangement thru MEQ1 for particular material
u2022     I have assigned 50% for 2 vendors
u2022     We have to maintain Lot size data as a u201CFSu201D, fixed lot size field enter sum Value and also enter the rounding
                     value.   Eg- if you enter the fixed lot size 5000, you can enter the rounding value 2500. Then 2 PRu2019s will as per our

Scheduling Agreement and Quota arrangement

Dear all,
Kindly share with me the individual steps involved in in creating Scheduling Agreement as well as Quota arrangement procurement process with T.Codes and also the relevant configurations involved.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Here is all about Quota arrangement :
Following are the configurations.
1) To specify number range for quota arrangement
SPRO > IMG > MM > Purchasing> Quota arrangement> Define number range (Int or Ext)
2) Set Quota arrangement usage indicator:
SPRO > IMG > MM > Purchasing> Quota arrangement> Define quota arrangement usage
On Application side following are the prerequisites
1) Create Quota arrangement
SAP Menu> Logistic> MM > Purchasing> Master Data> Quota arrangement > Maintain
2)specify procurement type : Int / Ext
3)Where appropriate specify the special procurement type For ex stock transfer
4) Enter the vendor or supplying plant
5) Specify the quota you want to assign to this source
Please understand terms as below,
Quota Rating = Quota allocated Qty +Quota Base Qty /Quota
Quota Base Qty: Quantity used for manual control of the quota Arrangement (For example new source is included)
Quota: Number that determines how requirement are apportioned among various sources .Decided by a Purchasing people based on confidence on source.
I source determination source with lowest quota arrangement will always be assigned
Example
Source Quota    allocated Qty      Quota Rating
M             1                   100                     100
N              2                   150                     75
O             3                     75                      25 *
In above case vendor O will be assigned as low Rating *
Now quota Base Qty will come into picture when new supplier is introduced. As you have seen that vendor with low quota Rating is assigned .In case of new supplier as no allocated qty earlier its Quota rating will always be low & all Qty will be allocated to him. To prevent this Base qty is added to allocated Qty so that accordingly it will determined accordingly
If Quota base Qty is 100   & quota is 2
For new vendor X rating will be
Quota rating = 100 + 0 / 2 = 50
I hope this gives you entire clarity.
