MRP - Quota arrangement

Dear Sir,
When I run MRP, System picks first BOM and Routing. here I need that system should pick some quantity say 60% from BOM Alt 1 and 40% BOM alt 2. Can i do this with quoata arrangement functionality. I am working with Repetitive manufacturing.
Kindly help
Regards
Majid

Hi
Create 2 PV with two diferent BOM and group counters of rate routing.
Create a Quota arrangement as below
Qouta no 1
Procurement Type E
Special Procurement Type = E
PPl = Plant
PV=1
Quota = 40
Qouta no 2
Procurement Type E
Special Procurement Type = E
PPl = Plant
PV=2
Quota = 60.
actvate quota arr usage in MRP4 as 4
Check and revert

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 .

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

Subcon Quota Arrangement behavior during MRP

Dear Gurus,
Currently, we have a scenario wherein during subcon process there can be 3 Vendors active. During MRP, we would like to have an output as per below:
Requirement: 1500
Vendor A: capacity 500 - priority 1
Vendor B: capacity 700 - priority 2
Vencor C: capacity 500 - priority 3
If I run MRP, I would like system to have PR's Vendor A with 500 then as the Vendors capacity is only 500 the remaining requirement should be passed on the succeding vendors. So from my example, Vendor B should have 700 and Vendor C should have 300.
Is this possible using Quota Arrangement. I was trying to test but I cannot get my desired result.
Please note that the settings in the material master is already set to Quota usage 4 and the lotsize is weekly with splitting quota activated.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi,
Yes I have maintained below in MEQ1 just for testing but I cannot get the desired result:
                  Quota Percentage        Maximum Lot size      Priority
Vendor A:   100                                 500                           1
Vendor B:    100                                 700                          2
Vendor C:                                           500                          3
Set-up Weekly lotsize with splitting quota and quota usage 4.
But during MRP execution, I think the system splits the requirement quantity into 2 and distribute to Vendor A and Vendor B then if it reached maximum lotsize it proposed to vendor C.
our requirement is first to consider Vendor A then Vendor B then Vendor C according to maximum lot size and priority.
Any idea if this is possible?
Thanks,
Raymond

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.
Revert if any issue further.

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 IN MRP

Hi,
We have three vendors a,b and c with the quota arraangment 5,3 and 2 resp.In MRP lot size is fixed for 1000 qty, reorder point is 150 , Now stock availiblity is 50 in mrp PR is generated for 950 qty. How the system distributed the requirment to these vendors? What are the config steps to be taken in this scinorios. pl guide me in detail.
will reward points accordingly,
Regards

Hi,
Pl. follow following steps -
1) Maintain quota of each vendor in transaction MEQ1 with a validity period. e.g. For first vendor 50%. For Second Vendor 30%. Third Vendor 20%. You can also maintain minimum quantity splitting, so that the quantity calculated by MRP which is below this will not be split. For example, if you require 10 PC of material & min. qty aplitting is 50, then the qty 10 will go to first vendor. If qty more than 50 is detected, then only it will be splitt among the vendors as per quota.
2) For splitting the quantity as per quota, you have to select proper lot size (For example FS - Fixing & Splitting) & maintain tick at 'Split Quota' for the lot size in your system customization for the lot size. You can access the customization in following way -
SPRO --> Production --> Material Requirement Planning --> Planning --> Lot size Calculation --> Check Lot sizing procedure --> MRP Lot Size
Select your required lot size & select icon 'Details'. Then mark tick at 'Splitting Quota'. Save the changes. Then run the MRP. System will now split the quantity based on your quota arrangement.

Quota Arrangement in MRP Planning

Dear All,
I am facing problem in foll Scenario:
I am trying to use Quota arrangement in MRP Planning.
I have maintained foll values:
Quota Usage in Material Master.
Quota for the material against 3 vendors in Percentages.
I have not maintained any Lot size procedures cause we are not using any batch management or Lot sizing in our company.
MRP Type is reorder type planning.
PIR is maintained for all the 3 vendors against the material being used.
No source List is maintained.
But during MRP Run only 1 PR is getting generated against a single Vendor - which is appearing 1st in the Quota arrangement.
Kindly please suggest me why is this happening... and whether there is some note of configuration missing.
Regards,
Jyotsna Loomba

Hi,
It is easier to use an example.
Lets say we have two vendors that we want equally used and they have been set up in a quota arrangement for a long time. The quota base qty will show how many have been ordered from each. So lets say that at the moment we have the two vendors both set up with a quota of 1 (to keep them equal) and the quota base qty is the same for each (lets say 10,000).
We now want to add a third vendor and they too should get an equal share of the orders. If we just add them the system will see that vendors A and B have each had orders for 10,000 and the new vendor has had 0 and so the system will give every order to the new vendor until they too have a total of 10,000.
By manually entering 10,000 to the quota base qty of the new vendor we are tricking the system into thinking that the new vendor has had the same number of orders as the existing vendors and so from now onwards they WILL all get an equal share.
I hope this helps with the clarification of the use of quota base qty?
As for the data you have just provided, the system would give the next few orders to Vendor V2.
the reason is that the other two vendors get a quota rate of 1 each and V2 has a quota rate of 8 and so V2 should get 8 times the qty of V1 and V3. The quota base qty of 80 against V2 and 20 against each of V1 and V3 means that V2 will get the next orders until their qty reaches 160 (at the proportion of 1, 8, 1).
So if V1 is getting all of the orders at the moment then there is something wrong with the set up of the quota arrangement. This could only really happen if you have set some maximumquantities or lot sizes etc. If you have not done this then I would check that V2 and V3 have valid info records etc.

If 100% quota arrangement - no PR getting generate through MRP

Dear All :
I have maintained
lot size ES , quota arrangement = 3 , source list tick in mm master.
Also maintained source list , quota arrangement.
Where ever more than one vendor , system generating PR but for those quota arrangement maintained 100% for single vendor , there system not generating PR.
I know source list is enough for same but i want to give 100 business for some items vendors.
Please resolve my query at early as possible.
Vijay

Hi
In T.code OMI4, which is to define a lot size, you see a small check box for split quota. It will be there for short term planning and long term plannng. You need to tick both or atleast one for your lotsize which you use in material master
Then only it will work.

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....

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.

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

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 Arrangment

Dear All,
Can anybody define me the process of quota arrangement & its advantages.
How i can map it befor/after the MRP is carried out .
Regards,
Gs Kothari

Hi
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.
MEQ1                 Maintain Quota Arrangement
MEQ3                 Display Quota Arrangement
MEQ4                 Changes to Quota Arrangement
MEQ6                 Analyze Quota Arrangement
MEQ7                 Reorganize Quota Arrangement

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
