Quota in APO

[Former Member]

Dear All,

How to maintain quota in APO and which Heuristic to run to get requirements split as per quota?

Kindly suggest

Thanx & Regards

Hello,

By saying "requirement split", do you mean the "requirement split" indicator in quota arrangement maintenance (/sapapo/scc_tq1) header level? Or you just mean the "quota arrangement" setting in item level?

If you mean the latter, refer to Pushkar's information.

And just to add, if you have lot size setting in product master, you'll need to implement BADI /SAPAPO/SNP_HEU method QUOTA_WITH_LOTSIZE referring to note 1260960.

Hi Shyam,

You can use Quota Arrangement in APO by using Tr Code : /SAPAPO/SCC_TQ1 - Quota Arrangement. Once you are inside this Tr Code, then you can assign Inbound Quota Arrangements which will determine the proportion of the requirements quantity should be procured from source locations or you can assign Outbound Quota which will determine receipts distribution proportion to destination locations.

Both these can be defined for a specific Product-Location or for All Products at one location. You will also need to decide the Start & End Date of Quota allocations Headers & then Quota Arrangement Item tab for each quota Header row. Here either you can select all partner Locations or only for specific locations & mention Quota Arrangement Qty. This will basically be used to determine proportions.

SNP Heuristics will respect the defined Quota Arrangements.

You can also refer to below threads & help page from SAP for further information. Hope this helps.

Dear Pushkar,

Thanx for the details. We have already done this, but results are not ok.

Kindly go through the present configuration/setup :-

1. In sapapo/scc_tq1, model, location, version independent & Inbound Quota arrangements selected

2. In quota arrangements header, material, start date , end date, allowed splitting (tick mark given), reqmts grouping as "T"  and minimum split qty as 100 given.

3. In External Procurement relationsship inside scc_tq1,  Purchasing doc no (Scheduling agmt), provided  - Two pruchasing document numbers(in our case, we are using scheduling agreement, hence scheduling agreement numbers given)

4. In Parameters, quota of 20 for one Purchasing doc no and 80 for another purchase order no given

5. Material master is having daily lot size "D" & rounding value as "400"

6. We are running product heuristic "SAP_PP_002" from /sapapo/cdpsb0

Expectation, if there  is a total demand of 500,  it should split as 80% that is 400 nos against one purchase doc (schedule lines in scheduling agreement) and 20% that is 100 nos against another purchase doc (schedule lines in scheduling agreement).

Now entire quantity of 500 nos is created as schedule lnes against purchase doccument (which is defined as 20% in quota)

Any suggestion/guidance where we are going wrong will be helpful. If some one can provide sample screen shots, would be helpful

Thanx

Shyam.

Hello Shyam,

If you're working with lot size (or maybe also rounding?), you'll need to apply BADI /SAPAPO/SNP_HEU method QUOTA_WITH_LOTSIZE according to note 1260960.

You can try first whether the problem comes from the lot size or rounding setting, by removing the corresponding setting and test again.
