Quota arrangement - Quota base quantity

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I can theoretically understand the need for mentioning a particular value as quota base quantity for newly included vendors, It is not a dummy number, right? Quota allocated quantity or Quota base quantity refers to a single or a set of Purchase requisition, Production order,,,etcetera,  isn't it? So, could you please tell me what does the value entered as Quota base quantity represent in the real world?

Thank you very much for your time.
