Quota Arrangement Setup

[Former Member]

Deal all SAP gurus,

I need your help! My company has a problem that we are trying to address when it comes to dual sourced parts. Here is some background info.

My company has 2 manufacturing sites and we've agreed upon a 60-40 split in productions requirements for Product A. They are plant 1 and I am plant 2.

Plant 1 loads the finishd good orders which drive down to the components. Problem is that the finished good component are built in both plant 1 and plant 2 to cover requirements.

I was thinking of setting up a quota arrangement with special procurement type X (In house production & External procurement). Once the order quantity is loaded they recieve a maximum of 40% of the orders and we recieve 60%. both plants use the same part number, how do we set up this part to correctly send the right signals of production to plant 1 and plant 2?

Can you help with this? Please let me know if you need further explanation

Thanks,

Ace

Thanks but It is not allowsing me to click on the first link.

We've been running into problems in that Plant 1 loads the planned orders and Plant 2 (my plant) is the vendor.

How are parts correctly set up to do quota arrangement between a internally produced plant and a "vendor".

If someone could please provide specific steps and details in this thread to help get me started:

Thanks
