Documentation

Definition

Number that determines the proportion of a requirement that you want to procure from a specific source of supply.

Use

If a certain material is to be procured alternately from different vendors, you can create a quota arrangement item for each vendor and assign a quota to each such item. The system then selects the effective source of supply at any given time by means of the following formula:

This quota rating is calculated for all sources of supply included in the quota arrangement. The source then selected is the one with the lowest rating.

Dependencies

Which vendor or item of an outline purchase agreement is valid at a certain point in time is determined via the source list.

Procedure

Enter the proportion of the material requirement that you want to procure from the source of supply. The system automatically converts the value into a percentage.

If you want to omit the quota temporarily from the quota arrangement, set the quota to '_'.

Example

You want to split the requirement for a specific material evenly between three vendors. This means that the system should assign one third of the total requirement to each vendor.

Enter 1 as quota for each vendor. The system then calculates a quota of 33% per vendor.
