MRP %
You need to determine how you want your scheduled requirements to be allocated across suppliers in a multi-sourcing environment. Even with a single source, you still need to determine the allocation.
Note: With a single source, you would allocate 100% to the supplier.
Schedule Update from MRP (5.5.3.1) uses these percentages to allocate MRP planned orders for the item among suppliers
Scheduled Order MRP % Maintenance
Use Scheduled Order MRP% Maintenance (5.5.1.17) to distribute supply percentages between suppliers.
Note: Use this function when you are phasing out one supplier and replacing them with a new one. You can control the percentages using the start from dates (Effective) while the new supplier takes on more load or finds the required quality levels.
