Quota Arrangement
1. Prerequisites (Master Data & Configuration)
Before testing, you must ensure the "gates" are open for Quota in both the backend and the material master.
Tcode - OMI4
B. Material Master (MM01),(MM02)
Purchasing/MRP 2 View: Set the Reorder point and MRP Type As VB, Lot sizing Procedure
MRP 1 View: Use a Splitting Lot Size (e.g., ES). If you use a standard lot size like 'EX', the system will only pick one vendor. Splitting Lot Sizes allow the PR to be broken into two.
C. Purchase Info Record (ME11)
Requirement: Valid PIRs must exist for all vendors in the quota so the system can pull the correct price into the generated PRs.
Create PIR for all the vendors which we are using for quota arrangement
2. Step-by-Step Execution Manual
Step 1: Maintain the Quota Arrangement (MEQ1)
Define the "split" ratio between your suppliers.
Enter Material and Plant.
Set the Valid To date (e.g., end of the financial year).
Click Table/Item Overview.
Enter Vendor A with Quota 60 and Vendor B with Quota 40.
Or Vendor A with Quota 1 and Vendor B with Quota 2. Ratio 1;2
Save.

Attach a screenshot showing the two vendors and the assigned Quota weights (60/40).
Step 2: Check Initial Stock Status (MD04) Opt.
Verify there is a shortage that MRP needs to solve.
Open MD04.
Observe the Available Quantity. If it is above Safety Stock, manually create a Planned Independent Requirement (MD61) or a Sales Order to create a "Demand."
Attach a screenshot showing the red 'Shortage' line or the lack of Purchase Requisitions.
Step 3: Run the MRP Engine (MD03 or MD01N)
Trigger the system to calculate the supply based on your quota.
MD03 (Classic MRP) - Single material, single-level planning.
Press Enter twice to execute.
OR
MD01 CROSS CHECK THE VALUES ENTER TWICE TO EXECUTE ENTER .
MD01N (MRP Live) - Multi-material, multi-plant, high-speed planning.
Enter the Material and Plant.
Tcode - MD01N
Control Parameters:
Create Purchase Req: 1 (Always)
Planning Mode: 1 (Adapt planning data)
Scheduling: 1 (Basic dates)
Press Enter twice to execute.
Step 4: Verify Quota Splitting in MD04
This is the final proof of your configuration.
Refresh the Stock/Requirements List (MD04).
The Result: You should see two separate Purchase Requisitions (PRs) created at the exact same time.
The Logic: One PR will represent 60% of the total need, and the second will represent 40%.
Vendor Check: Double-click each PR. The "Source of Supply" tab will show the different vendors assigned automatically
.
Step 5: Audit the Quota Statistics (MEQ3)
Verify that the system is tracking the "Allocated Quantity."
Go to Display Quota Arrangement (MEQ3).
Observe the Allocated Qty column. It should now reflect the quantities from the PRs created in Step 4.

Attach a screenshot showing the non-zero values in the Allocated Quantity field.
