• Key Concepts: 
  Compute quotas is a feature of the Planning Framework component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) solutions. It allows users to define and manage quotas for different products, customers, and other criteria. Quotas are used to limit the amount of a product that can be sold or produced in a given period of time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use compute quotas, users must first define the criteria for the quota. This includes the product, customer, and other criteria that will be used to determine the quota. Once the criteria have been defined, users can then set the quota for each product or customer. The quota can be set as a percentage of total sales or production, or as an absolute number. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting quotas, it is important to consider the impact that changes in demand or production may have on the quota. If demand or production increases, it may be necessary to adjust the quota accordingly. Additionally, it is important to consider how changes in pricing may affect the quota.
