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

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

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?

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

Process Quota Arrangement

In SAP SRM 210 training material, page 334 (under main topic Unit 8: Sourcing), it is clearly stated that every requirement fitting a quota arrangement is sourced automatically by the system. But that did not happen in our system implementation (assuming standard SAP is used and no configuration needed). The picture captured in the training material SRM210, page 334 showed that, in Process Quota Arrangement, at Quota Arrangement item level, there are 3 columns in which values are updated. The value will be updated in the 3 columns after Purchase Order created with refer to quota based vendor selection. The 3 columns are Release Quantity, Current Percentage and Target Percentage. After PO created, system gives current release quantity and current percentage in the quota arrangement. However, in the real implementation, I did not see the column available for automatically update except the target percentage column. We want to see if the Quota Arrangement updates the column Release Quantity and Current Percentage but both columns are not updated. We use standard SAP-SRM7.0, but the result is not as the same in the SAP SRM210 training material, provided by SAP.
Anyone know the solution?

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.

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.

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

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 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

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.

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
