Documentation
Definition
Number specifying which portion of a requirement is to be procured from a given 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 portion of the material requirement that is to be procured from the source. The value is automatically converted into a percentage.
If the quota is to be temporarily excluded from the quota arrangement, you can set the quota to '_'.
Example
The requirement of a material is to be evenly distributed among three vendors. That is, the system is to allocate a third of the total requirement to each vendor.
Enter 1 as quota for each vendor; the quota per vendor will then automatically be converted to 33%.
