VB11 Material Determination - Message Notification

[rangaswamy_govindaraj]

Hi

Currently the substitution material determination is in place (VB11 Material Determination).

However any possiblity to notify the user as the material is changed duing the material determination takes place.

Where the setting should be done ?

... as well if you set up "strategy" to "A" on the same screen, the user will see a list of substitutions to choose

Hello!

No need to go to ABAPers- on the "Material Substitution Reasons" there is a checkbox "Warning". This will give the user a message before substituting.

Hi Bea

Thanks for note

under SD -> Basic Functions --> Material Determination --> Define Substitute reason ->

When I tick the warning check box for Sbst Reason: 0006 (ProdSel - Order only), system doesn't allow me to save and throw the below error

Issue of a warning is not supported for product selection

Message no. VT375

Btw, requirement is to go automatic and not let the user to select. thus strategy <Blank> is selected for 0006

Hi

The warning message during substitution will only work for 'manual substitution' (Strategy A or B) and not for automatic substitution (strategy - blank). Try using standard reason for substitution '0005'

Hi Raj,

In standard its not possible

if you want like that create your own reason like 0007 put only check mark in warning box

put blank for all coloums strategy,out come,substitute category

save it and assign this reason to condtion type A001 in VB11 or VB12 what ever you created.

here once the user create sales order and enter a material he doesn't have chance to select the substitute product and it will give warning message like " Material xxxxx found on the basis of entry xxxx(reason)"

once press the enter it will automatically replace the original material with substituted material.

check and revert.

In "Maintain procedure" (spro-sales and distrb.-basic functions- mat.determination-maintain prereq/for mat. deterimnation)

you would try to set up a custom requirement (routine) which looks after such notification.

please talk to abaper.

regards,

P.S. if you run t-code OVRQ you will see how sap offers options in standard.

i just mentioned the custom message above...
