Documentation

Definition

The "maximum release quantity" defines the maximum quantity that a source of supply can make available/supply within a specified timeframe.

Use

If a source with a maximum release quantity is next in line in a quota arrangement, in total no more than this maximum figure can be allocated to it within the specified period. If the lot in question exceeds this maximum, it will be split. The source in question will receive an order covering the difference between the quantity already released and the maximum release quantity. The balance of the lot will be allocated to the next source.

Dependencies

The maximum release quantity is only taken into account in the planning run within MRP, not when purchase requisitions or planned orders are created manually.
