         <ListIntro>The sourcing percentage functionality enables you to divide
		  orders among several purchase business partners. This is only of importance if
		  you have several business partners that:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>Deliver the same item.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Have the same priority
		  to deliver this item.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>In this case, the

   <GeneralSection>
      <Paragraph>Often business partners
		have minimum or maximum order quantities. In this case, LN 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 business partners can be less than the assigned number of items,
		according to the sourcing percentage. In this case, the remainder is divided
		among the other business partners, 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 business partner does not get an order. All items are divided
		among the other business partners 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>
