Hi All,
i have an issue regarding to be ordered fixed quantities at multiple vendors.
Case:
- 1 materialnr. with 3 vendors and multiple periods with different to be delivered quantities by the vendors
- Vendor A (all periods deliver 10% of the total quantity for that specific month)
- Vendor B (all periods deliver 40% of the total quantity for that specific month)
- Vendor C (all periods deliver 50% of the total quantity for that speficic month)
- month 1 = 1000
- month 2 = 2000
- month 3 = 1000
- quota split is preferable, so month 1, vendor A has to deliver 100, B 400 and C 500 pcs), month 2 vendor A 200, B 800 and C 1000 etc.
The total amount can differ a at a certain time, so the 1000 for month one can be changed to 900. And also the situation can occur that vendor B cannot handle the 400 to be delivered in month 2 so this has to be manually changed by the purchasing department.
This all has to be done with reference to the existing contractconditions!
Can i solve such a situation with scheduling agreements or is such case better to be solved with forecastingvalues to be filled up front and which have to generate purchase requests via the MRP run?
