HI,

In material determination how you configure the system should propose when product A is not available then only system substitute with product B. If A is available 60% quantity. How do you do in the situation?

Hi Pavan

I am explaining again.

In the master data for material determination put "Reason for substitution - 0004 ".

In the master data enter first substitute as material A,second substitute as material B.

System will automatically substitute material A first (as it is in no.1 position) till it is avaiable.

Once "A" is finished, then system will start substituting material "B".

I am sure, your problem will be solved.

Hi there,

You maintain the material determiantion substitution reason in the condition records. Give the reason non availability.

When maitaining the determiantion procedure, there is something called requirement. In the requirement routine, put a condition that system should swap if the stock is at 40% of availabile.

Hi pavan,

In material determination we can replicate three business scenarios

Case A: We want to exchange the material Manually or automatically

Case B: We want material A should be replaced if Stock for A is not available

Case C: We Want to Push Certain material till its stock last, instead of the material ordered by customer.

While Maintaining the Condition record we can do these scenarios in system. It depends upon the Substitute Reason.

So depecnding oon your requirement you can maintain the condition record.

The configuration will be same as condition technique.

Thanks,

You have to create the master data for material determination using "Reason for substitution-0004".

This is automatic material substitution or otherwise called as "as per availability in order and delivery".

System will substitute the first substitute material first till it is available.

Once the first substitute is finished then it will start substituting with the 2nd substitute material and so on.

So, if the fast substitute is avaiable 60%, then rest quantity will be substituted from the next substitute material.

The sequence in which you have listed the substitute materials in the master data, that is the priority of substitution they have.
