Hello
I have a problem setting up a follow up material for a discontinued part.
This is our current BOM setup:
Parent item = A
BOM:
Child item X. This is a phantom item and has material Z in BOM
Child item Y. This is NOT a phantom item, but also has material Z in BOM (requirement for internal reasons).
Child item X is setup as a phantom item, Child item Y is set up as purchased part procurement F.
Goal is to move from item X to item Y at a certain date. For this I wanted to use discontinued parts in MRP4.
It is not possible to move from item X to item Y using this, because it is not possible for phantom assembly.
So then I tried to move from item Z to item Y. But according the system this lead to recursiveness.
But I don't see the recursiveness. Item Y is a F purchased part. So when SAP makes the switch from Z to Y there should be NO recursiveness.
It seems like SAP will check the BOM from item Y and it find item Z there, so it thinks it is recursive. In reality it is not.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this situation?
Thanks!
Kind regards
Koen
