Hi Peter,
I have done some tests but could not achieve the result you asked for. The reason & "help documentation" follow -
According to SAP documentation, in VB11, for a determination condition record, just put Substitution reason = 0004; and then "system automatically replaces the requested material if it is unavailable".
But to achieve this is not that simple!
Substitution reason 0004 shall work only if the Availability check is configured correctly. And availability check configuration is not easy.
I have given it some time, but could not configure availability check correctly / completely.
Give it a try, the below link has the steps for necessary configuration -
http://sapdocs.info/sap/sd-related-topics/availability-check-atp-transfer-of-requirement-tor/
If I progress, I shall update you.
I am sure some expert(s) in this group can guide you with this issue.
Regards,
Typewriter

Subject: Material determination and availability check
Hi,
I have a question - it is possible (and how?) to set up system to work like this:
1. Material A - 100 PC on the stock
2. Material B - 120 PC on the stock
3. Material C - 150 PC on the stock
I set material determination in this way that for Material A set Material B and Material C as a substitute materials with screen selection.
And now I create sales order:
1. Put Material A - quantity - till 100 PC - nothing happen - material i s avaliable - all is OK.
2. Material A more that 100 PC - popup screen appear with materials B and C to choose.
I read in SAP documentation such part:
In automatic product selection (reasons for substitution 0004 and 0006), the
system automatically replaces the requested material if it is unavailable.
If automatic product selection is being used, the system may display
(based on Customizing) the entered and substituted material as main
items and sub-items in the sales order.
This part "if it is unavailable" doesn't work for me because even if I put Material A 80 PC (available 100) - system replace it by Material B. What I'm doing wrong? |
