From 2150 quantity in PR, it will pick the source of supply KKNN002.From 51100 quantity in PR, it will pick the source of supply KKNN001.You can see I have given quota = 3 for vendor KKNN003 and quantity 20 and its percentage shows 50.0, it meansWhen I use below or equal 20, then system will propose the vendor KKNN003. Now we will check the uses for quota in Purchase Requisition.I have created a PR with quantity 15..When I have pressed the Assign Source of Supply, system has proposed me the vendor KKN003.

You can see my default vendor is came into source of supply field.Now I have changed the quantity 25..System will shows me a warning message

That means system wants to propose me that as per quota arrangement entry, your prior vendor will be KKNN002.Now when I press Assign Source of Supply, System will change the source of supply to KKNN002.

Now I have changed the quantity to 90..System will propose me the vendor KKNN001.And when I press the Assign Source of Supply, system will change the vendor to KKNN01 in field source of supply.

After pressing this, you can see a green indicator on the vendor.Now press Assigned Source..

You can see the source of supply is raised as per our selection..... How to Remove a vendor from QA ListNow suppose you have ordered some quantity to the 3 vendors..

As you can see I have placed order for all vendor..Now Vendor KKNN002 inform us that he can't deliver the material any more. So source of supply should not be vendorKKNN002.But if we order the material for qty 5 to 10, then it will shows the vendor KKNN002 as source of supply.In that position, we can;t delete the vendor from quota arrangement, because we have already placed some order.We have to just remove the quota from vendor KKNN002, so that it will not display on source of supply..And suppose vendor KKNN003 will delivered the rest of quantity of vendor KKNN002.Then we can increase the maximum quantity to 30. So that when we placed order for quantity 1 to 15, it will always takethe vendor KKNN003 as source of supply.It will be looks like that

Or if you don't want to change the quota sequence, then you can also change the maximum quantity.Then it will be like this

Just change the maximum quantity as same as allocated quantity, then the vendor will not able to use in source ofsupply..If you want that the vendor KKNN001 will supply the rest of quantity of vendor KKNN002, in that case, you can increasethe maximum quantity of KKNN001 as 110. How to Add a Vendor in QA ListNow suppose vendor KKNN004 wants to deliver the material, and you have to add the vendor KKNN004 in quotaarrangement list, so that the vendor will com automatically in source of supply.Suppose vendor KKNN004 inform you that he can borrow the order of maximum quantity 7.But the vendor has already supplied the material with quantity of 5. In that situation, you have to entered the quantity 5 inQuota Base Qty, so in quota calculation, then vendor will prior for just quantity 2.Then you can add the vendor in existing QA list.It will be looks like

In this situation, Vendor KKNN004 will be sourced for only quantity (75)= 2 quantity.If you have placed order below than 2 quantity, then the source will be vendor KKNN004 and over 2 it will goes tovendor KKNN003. Vendor Selection With Same QuotaIf you vendor content the same quota in QA, then the source list will picked as per maximum quantity..But in that scenario, you have to maintain the sequence for maximum quantity...

Here you can see my maximum quantity is 50 for vendor KKNN001 and 500 for vendor KKNN002. Both vendor hassame quota.When I order below 50 quantity, system will propose the vendor KKNN001 and when I order more than 50, then systemwill propose the vendor KKNN002 as source of supply. In that way, we can configure quota arrangement in our system... Thanks and RegardsDev Patra
