Dear experts!

Thank you for your attention!

use material determine/substitute how to configure the following senario?

1. If material A isn't available, it is automatically replaced with material B.

2. The customer orders Material entered C. You want to clear out material D. Material D is selected automatically as long as it is available.

Best regard!

Hi Tangdark

For your 1st query , maintain automatic material determination for Material A maintain Material B.and if the stock is not there then all those material determined orders will become backorders and once the stock is issued into the plant then if you run the backorders .You can do delivery & PGI also

For your 2nd query , manitain manual material determintaion with substitution reason (manual) between C and D then it is possible

For your 2nd query , maintain manual material determination with substitution reason (manual) between C and D then it is possible

First query configuration :

In VB11 maintain the substitution reason as automatic substitution reason (0001) and for Material A maintain Material B.Now make sure that for material A there is stock and for material B there is no stock .

Make sure you have assigned OUTCOME - A

Second query configuration :

In VB11 maintain the substitution reason as Manual substitution reason (0003) and assign Material A , Material B to Material D and in VB11 maintain Material D to Material C with Manual substitution reason (0003) . Now when you create a sales order then you will get a pop-up also wheather the Material D has to be selected or not .select that material D then it will substitute with Material D

Make sure you have assigned OUTCOME - A

Hi

Happy new year

It is done through material determination which uses condition technique

The config part is done in Img-sd-basic functions---material determination

After the necessary configurations you need mto create condition records in VB11 t code

T code path in easy access is logistics-sd-masterdata-products-material determination---create

Both manual selection and automatic selection is possible

The same can be tested in sales order

In the order after inputting the item go to its item details in the sales A tab you can see what was the original material entered and substitution reasons all details

Hope this information helps you in configuring the same and your requirement can be met 100 %

All the best
