Supersession in Sales Order

[Former Member]

Hi there,

we are trying to use Supersession in the ERP Sales Order. We already have done all the customizing steps mentioned in the SAP Help (http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/fc/a62238b497a552e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm).

It works now in the purchase order (you can manually click on "Material substitution"), but unfortunately it doesn't work in the Sales Order.

The subsitution chain is: A -> B (Forward)

When we enter material A (with stock=0) in the Sales Order only the "Standard Order: Availability Control"-Screen comes up. But the material is not replaced with B.

Does anyone has an idea what needs to be done to get it working in the Sales Order?

Thanks, regards,

Johannes

Hi

Check the startegy settings and outcomes in T-code OVRQ.

So which entry is relevant for Supersession?

0004 Autom. mat.selection

0005 Manual matl selectn

0006 ProdSel - Order only

Currently the following options are maintained:

0004: everything blank, except: Outcome = A

0005: everything blank, except: Strategy = A

0006: everything blank, except: Outcome = B

What values do I have to maintain here to get a pop-up in the Sales Order?

Thanks, regards,

Johannes

Use "0005 or 0006" to get pop up box in sale sorder.

Hi,

unfortunately the material isn't replaced by the other item in the supersession chain.

So I don't get a pop-up either, no matter what I customize in the above transaction.

Thanks, but this doesn't solve the problem.

We'd like to use this functionality in ERP not in CRM.

Although the link in the mentioned thread is about ERP, it's the link already got.

Plus: We haven't got APO.
