Quotas

Quotas are an optional sub-division of the contract. Despatch orders can be created for a contract product or specifically for a quota of the contract product.

Quotas are often used when there are different rules, and there is a specific despatch order that is based on a different delivery term, or the specifications of the product are different. Sometimes when the total quantity of contract product is divided into small, more manageable units; for example, based on time, quotas are set up to reflect this. There might be a certain tonnage required at the contract product level that can be split up into quotas.

Quota Specifications

Specifications define the expected quality of the quota. The specifications of the quota are inherited from the contract product. These default specifications can be overridden for the quota if required.

The specifications of a quota are the default specifications for despatch orders created for the quota.
