Sap Sale Module: RE:[sap-log-sd] Material determination and availability check

Hi Experts,

Material determination with Substitution reason = 0004 (Availability) is not working (for me). Please advice.

I have created a condition record in VB11, substitution reason = 0004, Strategy = __ automatic replacement, Outcome = Item replaced;
M-1 replaced by M-1 and then M-2

When I create a sales order, system goes to Availability Control & confirmed quantity at that date is 0. I press icon Continue. I get M-1 in my sales order. It is not replaced by M-2. (M-2 is sufficient stock)

In Material determination analysis, the condition record is found.
My Availability check settings are working ok (so it seems).

What am I overlooking?

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?
