Steps for maintaining Quota Arrangement

All SAP Gurus,
What are the steps involved in maintaining Quota Arrangement.
We have 3 different vendors supplying same material.
WE want to assign a quota of 20%, 30%, and 50% to different vendors for the monthly supply of the material.
Regards,

Hi,
     Follow the below steps for Quota Arrangement:
        1. Specify quota usage key in material master purchasing/ MRP 2 view
        2. Select source list checkbox in mat. master purchasing view
        3. Maintain Info record & source list for the 3 vendors
        4. For splitting quota which is possible only in case of MRP, select lot sizing procedure with split quota marked in customizing
        5. Maintain quota MEQ1 for the 3 vendors with material & plant on initial screen, then enter validity period
        6. Select line & enter procure type, vendor & quota as 5,3 & 2
Finally save quota
Hope this will help

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 .

Procedure for CIF - Quota arrangement Managed materials

Dear Forum members,
While creating an integration model for the materials which has got a quota arrangement (say 50 % to prod.version 1 and 50 % to
prod.version 2) in ECC for which the demand has to get splited 50 % to each of the production version does CFM1 nd CFM2 alone
is sufficient? If not how to address the same in APO?
Please give me some sugesstions on the same.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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] ?

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

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.

Maintaining Quota File

Hi Experts,
Please enlighten me on this statement: If I do not enter quantity (leave blank) on Minimum Quantity Splitting field when I maintain quota arrangement in MEQ1, will the Splitting Quota Arrangement procedure still work? I want to know when does the system use specific Quota Arrangement procedure such as Allocation or Splitting.
Appreciate your help.
BR,

Hi,
A quota arrangement divides the total requirement of a material over a period among certain sources of supply by assigning a quota to each source.
The quota specifies which portion of the total requirement should be procured from a given source.
If a quota arrangement exists for a material, it is taken into account in the source determination process.
A quota arrangement is specified for a certain period. A quota arrangement item is created for each source within the period.
To set up a quota arrangement for the procurement of a material, proceed as follows:
Master data -> Quota arrangement -> Maintain, enter the material and plant number, press ENTER to display the overview screen for the quota arrangement periods, Enter a validity period for quota arrangement, Enter date until which the quota arrangement is valid. The start date is calculated by the system. Press ENTER .
Select the quota arrangement and choose Goto -> Item overview to display the item overview screen of the quota arrangement. Enter a quota arrangement item for each source of supply you want to include in the quota arrangement.
You must enter the following data.
- Procurement type
- Special procurement type, Enter k in the S column, for example, if a consignment arrangement for the material exists with the vendor.
- Vendor number
- Procurement plant (supplying plant):
- Quota column, enter the quota assigned to each item.
Press ENTER .
The percentage distribution of the quotas is calculated and displayed automatically by the system.
Save the quota arrangement. The system assigns a number to the quota arrangement item automatically.
The Quota arrangement is used when same material needs to be procured from different vendors with varying % during the same time period.
Eg : Requirement is 100 . The Qty to be procured is divided as per the allocated Quota .
Vendor 1 - 10 % Qty - 10
Vendor 2 - 30 % QTy -30
Vendor 3 -60 % Qty -70.
You mark the usuage indicator in material master - purchasing view.

Splitting of quota Arrangement

We maintained quota arrangement for a part , the demand got split across both vendors, but unfortunately due to demand being odd quantity, the demand got split as 4467.50 We donu2019t need to get the decimal places when this split occurs, what needs to be done to avoid the same?
Thanks
Dinesh

You can specify the max allocated qty to the vendor.
Or through Qta base qty we can control the allocations of quantities to the vendors.
