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.

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

Reg : Quota Arrangement

Hi Gurus,
I have made the settings for Quota arrangement.
I have used 3 Vendors and made the settings in Quota arrangement.
When i am creating the Purchase requisition, the system is suggesting 3 Vendor names.The particular vendor name is not getting selected Automatically. I have to select that Manually.
Please advice what setting needs to be done for making them getting picked up automatically as per the Quota settings.
With Regards,
Saakithyan

Quota arrangement is used for PRs created during MRP. System considers the quota arrangement while creating PR during MRP & assigns the source to the vendor from quota arrangement as per the quota calculation. If the lot size allows splitting of quantity then the PRs with split are generated on the sources as per quota arrangement.
The Quota Arrangement is not at all considered for Manually Generated PRs

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 .

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
MEQ8                 Monitor Quota Arrangements
MEQB                 Revise Quota Arrangement
MEQM                 Quota Arrangement for Material

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?
Ben

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.

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.

Source list & quota arrangement

At which level the source list is maintained:
Client Level
Plant Level
Purchasing Org. level
When source determination takes place, does the quota arrangement takes precedence over a fixed vendor?

Hi Vishal,
At which level the source list is maintained?
Plant level.
When source determination takes place, does the quota arrangement takes precedence over a fixed vendor?
Yes, it does.
The system determines the source of supply of a requested material on the basis of the following factors (in the order shown):
1. Quota arrangement
The system first determines whether a quota arrangement within whose validity period the delivery date in the requisition falls exists for the material.
If a quota arrangement exists, the system determines the vendor from whom the material is to be procured according to the quotas assigned to the vendors and then suggests the source.
If no source can be determined this way, the system checks the source list.
2. Source list
The system determines whether an entry in the source list within whose validity period the delivery date of the requisition falls exists for the material. The source in question may be a fixed vendor or an outline agreement (contract or scheduling agreement).
If the source list contains a unique source, the requisition is assigned to that source.
If several sources are found, a box appears for selection purposes.
If no source could be determined, the existing outline agreements and info records are examined.
3. Outline agreement and info record
The system searches for contracts, scheduling agreements, and info records for the material and suggests these.
(If info records with more than one purchasing organization exist, all info records of the purchasing organization(s) that is/are responsible for procurement for the requesting plant are also suggested.)
If several outline agreements and perhaps info records exist, all possible sources are offered for selection in a box.
When an info record is found, the following two additional checks are carried out:
- Check of supply region
The system checks whether a certain supply region is specified in the associated vendor master record. If so, the system checks whether the plant in the purchase requisition belongs to this region. If not, the info record is discarded as a possible source.
- Check of regular vendor
The system checks whether a regular vendor has been specified for the material (that is, a vendor valid for the entire corporate group, or client). If this is the case, and it has been specified in Customizing that the regular vendor takes precedence, the info record for this vendor will be preferred as the source.
Hope this will help.

Ferry Lianto

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

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.

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.

Std-Price calculation with Quote arrangement

Hello Experts,
I set up a quote arrangement (MEQ1) for one Material. This quote arrangement including two production version 0001 and 0002 with proc.type E, as third line I added a vendor with proc. type F.
How can I calculate the std. price based on the proc. type F line, line should be slected by the system automatically and not based on the prod. versions (E).
Thanks in advance
Jörg

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for your inputs. In the std costing run system is showing components as below.
Material cost 110$
Material overheads 10$
Labor cost 20$
Labor Overheads 10$
In this Material cost 110$ , materials overheads also included(100$+10$). Why system is calculating Material overheads twice please suggest what mistake i did.
The material overhead percentage rate is 10%.
As per my client requirement system should calculate components as shown below
Material cost 100$
Material overheads 10$
Labor cost 20$
Labor overheads 10$
Please advise its very urgent, your inputs will be rewarded with points.
Thanks&Regards,
Spandana.

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?

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 .
regards
Harish

Quota arrangement with schedule agreements

Dear guru's,
I maintained source list with 3 Schedule agreements with 3 different vendors, MRP indicator as 2, in Material master Quota as 4, and maintained Quota.
now after planning run i am getting two PR's for two vendors and for third vendor schedule lines are generated against that schedule agreement.
can u any one help me in this
vinay

Hi,
In the source list have you put a 2 as MRP indicator for all the scheduling agreements in the source list.
Also please make sure that the fixing indicator is not set in the source list.
Can you also check the if the validity period for all scheduling agreements and source list entries are correct.
