MRP Requirements Schedulling

Question

Hello,
I need some help in finding a standard solution or a turn-around to schedule the delivery of the requirements calculated in MRP.
The logic implemented already is something like this:
1) MRP runs in background everyday in the morning and calculates the requirements.
2) The purchase requisitions of those requirements are automatically generated.
3) A second background job converts the purchase requisitions into purchase orders.
But the requirements must have two deliveries ( [x%] in the morning of the next delivery date n1 and [1-x%] in the afternoon of that same day n1). How can i split the requirements into two different requisitions or purchase orders, based on a defined split percentage?
Thank you for any help,
VMF

Hi,
The only standard feature that I can think of that has the potential to split planning is qouta arrangement.
You can set it up in such a way that planning is split in a certain predefined percentage, but the catch is that normally it is split between different vendors. So you need to work a bit around to see if you can manage.
Alternatively, you can change the batch job that is converting requisition into orders in such a way that each requisition is split into 2 orders by the predefined percentage.
