1. have you set any quota split quantity.

1. Is the Quota Split indicator is checked in the lot sizing\

procedure (SPRO Setting).

If the quota split indicator is checked in "Lot Sizing

Procedure " it will get distributed among three suppliers.

Hi,

The requirement will be splitt among the vendors by maintaining quota arrangement. But if you have maintained the fixed lot size as 1000, then first purchase requirement of 1000 will be generated & alloted to first vendor. As this requirement sufices requirement of the material, no further PR will be generated. In future, when new requirement is detected, then the same can be alloted to next vendor depending upon the quota rating. This PR will not be split, because you have set the fixed lot size 1000. If you want to split this quantity among your vendors, remove this field.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Pl. follow following steps -

1) Maintain quota of each vendor in transaction MEQ1 with a validity period. e.g. For first vendor 50%. For Second Vendor 30%. Third Vendor 20%. You can also maintain minimum quantity splitting, so that the quantity calculated by MRP which is below this will not be split. For example, if you require 10 PC of material & min. qty aplitting is 50, then the qty 10 will go to first vendor. If qty more than 50 is detected, then only it will be splitt among the vendors as per quota.

2) For splitting the quantity as per quota, you have to select proper lot size (For example FS - Fixing & Splitting) & maintain tick at 'Split Quota' for the lot size in your system customization for the lot size. You can access the customization in following way -

SPRO --> Production --> Material Requirement Planning --> Planning --> Lot size Calculation --> Check Lot sizing procedure --> MRP Lot Size

Select your required lot size & select icon 'Details'. Then mark tick at 'Splitting Quota'. Save the changes. Then run the MRP. System will now split the quantity based on your quota arrangement.
