Definition

The priority determines the sequence in which the individual sources of supply are used. Items with priority are always taken into consideration first, before the items for which no priority has been entered.

Use

  • Example without splitting quota:

    If, for example, you enter priority one along with a maximum release quantity, then this source of supply is always selected until its maximum release quantity has been exhausted. Only then is the next source of supply selected.

    If no maximum release quantity was entered for the item with priority one, this item would always receive the complete requirement quantity.

  • Example with splitting quota:

    In this procedure, the items are selected in the order of the quota. This sequence can be overridden using priorities.

    Please note that the splitting quantity is always based on the quota.
