Dear all,

Would there be a way to propose to the User to use an alternative material when he creates a purchase order with a material that is no more activated ?

Kind regards,

YG

vijayendra.tiwari01 Thank you. So it is possible for sales documents, but for purchase order it is not possible and would require us to create a customer influence. Is that what you mean ?

[Vijayendra]

Yes you are right. Thanks!

vijayendra.tiwari01 Thank you. I understand that my request would be a Customer influence. But I am not sur to understand you r purpose when you say : "Additionally try using material substitution or replacement." Do you mean that we should create a new material, but that this material will not be linked to the obsolete one, reason why we should open a Customer Influence. Is that what you mean ?

Kind regards,

YG

Hello yomghi,

Requirement here is that-

System to propose alternate material while creating PO with material which is deactivated.

What is possible for now?

Set 'Marked for Deletion' checkbox in the app 'Manage Product Master Data' for material and also in app 'Change Material, you can use the indicator 05 (Obsolete) in field 'X-plant matl status' of material, so that it will not be allowed to used in any Materials management.

-> Apologies for the confusion here material substitution or replacement concept is applicable for sales documents. Refer below documentation.

Hello yomghi

What is currently available in S/4 cloud is to set 'Marked for Deletion' checkbox in the app 'Manage Product Master Data' for material and also in app 'Change Material, you can use the indicator 05 (Obsolete) in field 'X-plant matl status' of material, so that it will not be allowed to used in any Materials management. Additionally try using material substitution or replacement.

For raising this as missing or new feature request, kindly follow the KBA 2838428 if you would like to have the functionality added.

Best Regards,
