B) After the MRP run, the new Allocated Qty for Vendor "V02" will be 1566.
C) After the MRP run, the new Allocated Qty for Plant "1020" will be 1100.
D) The shortage of 100 will be assigned to Vendor "V01".
E) The shortage of 100 will be assigned to Plant "1020".
.

Answer: C, E

Quota Arrangement statistics (before the MRP run)
                        Alloc.Qty     Base Qty Quota
Vendor V01     334                 0                 1
Vendor V02     1566               0                 2
Plant 1020       1000               0                 3

Quota Rating = (Quota Allocated Qty + Base) / Quota
Rule 1: Select Vendor with lower Quota Rating
Rule 2: If Quota Rating is the same then select Vendor with higher Quota

Quota Rating for V1: (334 + 0) / 1 = 334
Quota Rating for V2: (1566 + 0) / 2 = 783
Quota Rating for Plant 1020: (1000 + 0) / 3 = 333.33

Rule 1 indicator Transfer Plant 1020 has the Lowest Q.Rating
For MRP run will Lot Size “EX” and not hindered by PR doc type
the next PR should be allocated to the Plant 1020

Quota Arrangement statistics (after the MRP run)
                        Alloc.Qty      Base Qty     Quota
Vendor V01     334                 0                 1
Vendor V02     1566               0                 2
Plant 1020       1000+100       0                 3

IMG > Enterprise Structure > Assignment > Material Management > Assign Purchasing Organization to Reference Purchasing Organization

A reference purchasing organization can make favorable conditions or contracts available to other purchasing organizations. A reference purchasing organization can negotiate a comprehensive contract that can be used by other purchasing organizations.
 The purchasing organizations responsible for procurement in the individual plants can issue release orders against this centrally agreed contract, thus availing themselves of its more favorable terms and conditions.
When you assign purchasing organizations to a reference purchasing organization, the conditions of the reference organization can be used by other purchasing organizations for price determination.
You can assign several purchasing organizations to one reference purchasing organization, but a single purchasing organization should not be assigned to multiple reference purchasing organizations.
