Supersession in production orders (ERP ECC 6.0 EhP3)

[Former Member]

Hey guys,

does anybody know how/if supersession works in production orders?

e.g.

I have created a supersession-chain with 2 materials, Material1 should be interchangable with Material2.

I place a production order where Material1 is a component of the product to be assembled. Material1 is 2 parts short in the availability check.

The ATP-check shall recognise that Material1 is part of a supersession-chain and should automatically replace the missing parts of Material1 with Material2 (as they are interchangable) in the production order.

Does anybody know, if there is any function of supersession regarding this issue?!?

Regards, Jan

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Supersession seems to be functioning properly in SD and MM but not in PP. The requirements for components are directed to newest/valid component (in my tests) but production order doesn't seem to consider the supersession at all. That is, production order contains the old component, which doesn't have availability.

Have you found something else for this?
