Hello MM colleagues,
Client has an issue with quota arrangement.
The situation is as below:
Material X has been setup for Quota arrangement with 2 vendors A & B, with quota of 75% & 25%.
There is no minimum qty defined for splitting.
Material master of X has Lot size = "WB" for weekly lot size.
The lot size (IMG setting) for Short Term has "Splitting Quota" activated.
The long term setting for lot size does not have "Splitting Quota" activated.
Material has a number of SubReqs in MD04, with the requirements dates starting Feb 2015.
(SubReqs are component requirements for this material due to Subcontract Purchase Orders).
The problem is if the SubReq quantity is less than 4, then planned orders get generated only for vendor A.
If the requirement qty is >= 4, then the split quota works perfectly well and both A & B get their share every time.
My questions are as follows:
Is this standard SAP behaviour of split quota?
Does this behaviour has anything to do with short-term/long term lot size settings? If so, how does system differentiate between short-term and long-term requirements?
When splitting happens, is there any rounding off that happens? For eg, if the requirement is 6 nos, the planned orders are getting generated for 5 nos & 1 nos.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
