Quota arrangement is the process of dividing the total requirements of materials among the source of supply.

T-Code: MEQ1

Uses:

- It specifies the particular portion that to be procured from that assigned source

Prerequisites:

- You have to maintain the quota arrangement usage for the respective material in the material master ( MRP 2 view)

Hi,

Please follow the below path in SPRO to configure the Quota Arrangement:

Materials Management- Purchasing-- Quota Arrangement

The quota arrangement facilitates the determination of the applicable sources of supply for a purchase requisition at a certain time.

If you will set the Quota arrangement for multiple vendors, system will automatically split the total material requirement over a period to different sources.

MEQ1 is the transaction code to maintain the Quota arrangement and in this transaction code you can define the multiple source of supply for one material

Also you have to maintain the Quota arrangement usage in material master to determine the Multiple source of supply in PR

Quota arrangement is applicable only when you are generating the PR's through MRP and it is not applicable when you are creating PO directly through transaction code ME21N

Hi

A quota arrangement divides the total requirement of a material over a period among certain sources of supply by assigning a quota to each source.

The quota specifies which portion of the total requirement should be procured from a given source.

If a quota arrangement exists for a material, it is taken into account in the source determination process.

A quota arrangement is specified for a certain period. A quota arrangement item is created for each source within the period.

To set up a quota arrangement for the procurement of a material, proceed as follows:

Master data -> Quota arrangement -> Maintain, enter the material and plant number, press ENTER to display the overview screen for the quota arrangement periods, Enter a validity period for quota arrangement, Enter date until which the quota arrangement is valid. The start date is calculated by the system. Press ENTER .

Select the quota arrangement and choose Goto -> Item overview to display the item overview screen of the quota arrangement. Enter a quota arrangement item for each source of supply you want to include in the quota arrangement.

You must enter the following data.

- Procurement type

- Special procurement type, Enter k in the S column, for example, if a consignment arrangement for the material exists with the vendor.

- Vendor number

- Procurement plant (supplying plant):

- Quota column, enter the quota assigned to each item.

Press ENTER .

The percentage distribution of the quotas is calculated and displayed automatically by the system.

Save the quota arrangement. The system assigns a number to the quota arrangement item automatically.

Hi Pavan ,

Infact source list and Quota arrangement serve the same purpose but here you can procure the same material from different vendors with varying % during the same time period.

Eg : Requirement is 100 . The Qty to be procured is divided as per the allocated Quota .

Vendor 1 - 10 % Qty - 10

Vendor 2 - 30 % QTy -30

Vendor 3 -60 % Qty -70.

You mark the usuage indicator in material master - purchasing view.
