Help Regarding Quota Arrangement

Hi Gurus...........
Could u pls explain the importance of Quota Arrangement MEQ1??like whats the use of this??etc
and also in Tcode MEQ1 what values to maintain like in Item ie
QUOTA,IN %,PPL,VER....etc pls explain me in detail
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Veeranna,
MEQ1 is used for maintaining Quota arrangement. By maintaining Quota, we can split the requirements based on quota among vendors.
You need to maintain the vendor and the quota, and procurement type etc. If the material is supplied by the plant then maintain them in PPL.
Hope this helps.

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.

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
                      quota arrangement.
u2022     Material requirement planning(MRP) run for the product thru MD02

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 calculate the quota base quantity in quota arrangement?

Hi all,
As we all know, when a new supplier is added in the quota arrangment, we take the help of quota base qunatity so that the new supplier does not get any unfair advantage over the existing suppliers. Would you please help me on how to calculate the quota base quantity or on what basis the quota base quantity is calculated?*
Regards,
Ranjan

Dear,
Quota arrangement divides the total requirements generated over a period of time among the sources of supplied by assigning a quota.
Quota u2013 quota is equal to a number and its represents the proportionate of requirements. Total quota of all the vendors is equal to 100% of requirements.
This quota arrangement is also specific to material and plant level.
Quota rating = quota allocate quantity + quota base quantity / quota.
Quota based quantity used only when a new vendor introduced.
In the as on date situation, the minimum quota ratings will considered as preferred vendor.
The 2 vendors has 2 same quota rating, the vendor who is having the highest quota will considered first.
In the running quota, a new source of supply is included. (In situation of short supply) including a new source not means to reduce the quota for existing.

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?

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.

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.

Multiple Requisition line itme for Quota arrangement

Hello
We are maintaining the quota arrangement master data .
The Purchase requisition is splitting in to two line items based on the demand and assigning the Vendor on it .
Is it the right way or some thing missing in the configuration
Please advice me
Thanks
Nick

Hi,
1) The creation of PR depends upon the lot size you have maintained in the material master record.
a) If you have maintained lot size as FX (Fixing & Splitting) & the splitting indicator is maintained for the lot size in customizing, then seperate PR will be generated for each vendor maintained in quota, with quantity alloted to the respective vendor as per quota arrangement & delivery date being as per requirement of the material (probably being same for all PRs).
b) If you are using other lot size (which does not have the splitting indicator) then one PR will be generated for each demand, which will be assigned to the first vendor in line as per quota arrangement. Next PR (probably after next MRP run) will be assigned to another vendor which will be next vendor as per the quota arrangement.
2) Regarding firming, these PRs will not be firmed automatically. If required, you will have to firm the same manually.

Prashant

Quota arrangement

Hi
My requirement is if we want to procure material of 1000 kgs . It need to be distributed 50% of the order between two vendors.
I came to know that this can be done through Quota arrangement.
Could you please guide how system generates 2 orders for this one requirement for 2 vendors and what quota arrangement settings needed..
Please explain me step by step procedure since I dont know abt this process
Thanks
Jupudi

Hi,
You can maintain following fields -
1) Initial Screen - Material / Plant
2) Overview - Valid to / Minimum quantity above which the splitting will happen
3) Select line & then go to Item
4) Item Level -
     QAI - Blank
     P - Procurement type
     S - Special procurement type
     Vendor - Vendor Code
     PPI - Own manufacturing plant, if material is to be procured from in house
     Maximum Qty - Maximum qty, after which the quota arrangement is not valid
     Max. / Min. Lot Size - Maximum or minimum lots size for PRs
     Rounding Profile - Same as material master
     1x - Check if the vendor is to be considered only once during single MRP run
     Maximum Release Qty - Maximum quantity, which a vendor can supply during given time frame (for example - 1 Week / 1 Month)
     N / P - Specify time frame which applies to maximum release qty.
Hope this helps

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.

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.

Quota Arrangement in Make to order Environment

Dear Gurus,
Is it possible to have Quota Arrangement for the planned order that is created for a Sales order? (Planned Order type KD). I have maintained Quota arrangement for my finished Product which is make to order but after I run MRP for a sales order, the planned order is created only for one source of supply (Production Version) instead of splitting it in different production versions.
Additional data:
I have allowed Splitting quota on my lot size.
Please help.
Regards,
Jawad Khan Niazi

Okay, I have figured out the logic. For a single sales order item, the system never splits the planned order quantity into two production versions while creating planned orders, however, if you maintain quota using the maximum released quantity logic the system assigns the alternate source of supply to the next sales order in the same period. for example
if I maintain quota arrangement for material X as
Production Version A: 10000 Units
Production Version B: 10000 Units
and then I receive two sales orders,
Sales order 1 : 12000 Units
Sales order 2 : 8000 Units
then after executing the planning run the planned orders are created as follows,
planned order 1 with production version A: 12000 Units (Exception message 70: Quota limit exceeded)
Planned order 2 with production version B: 8000 Units

Jawad Khan Niazi

The MRP generates PldOrd / STPO without considering Quota arrangement

Dear Expert,
The MRP generates PldOrd / STPO without considering Quota arrangement/ supplier quantity agreement with Individual indicator =1 maintained in MRP4. It need that it should consider Quota arrangement with Individual indicator =1 while generating PldOrd/ STOP.
Please help.
Thanks,
Om

Hi Om,
I hope that you have alreayd maintained the required master data for Quota Arrangement.
Also have you maintained configuration of Lot-Sizing Procedure ? You need to select "Splitting Quota" indicator in a particular Lot-Size Procedure, which you're going to assign in material master.
Hope it will help.

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.
