	<AimSection><List><ListIntro>The sourcing percentage functionality enables you to divide orders among several suppliers. This is only of importance if you have several suppliers that:</ListIntro>
			<ListItem>Deliver the same item.</ListItem>
			<ListItem>Have the same priority to deliver this item.</ListItem>
		</List>
		<Paragraph>In this case, the ordered quantity is divided among these suppliers according to the assigned <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#SourciRule.td" role="glossary">sourcing rule</Link>.</Paragraph>
	</AimSection>
	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Often suppliers have minimum or maximum order quantities. In this case, SSA ERP takes these quantities into account. The result can differ from the result when there are no quantity restrictions.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The maximum order quantity of a supplier can be less then the assigned number of items, according to the sourcing percentage. In this case, the remainder is divided among the other suppliers, according to their sourcing percentages.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>In contrast, the minimum order quantity of a supplier can be higher than the assigned number of items. In this case, the supplier does not get an order. All items are divided among the other suppliers according to their sourcing percentages.</Paragraph>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>Sourcing percentages must not be used in a scale of 100. These percentages are just used to make a division.</Paragraph>
