Hi,

Material Determination is used to swap one material for another.It is possible to get a list of materials for substituiton,but remember you can substitue only one material from the list.

This can be done through substituiton reason T Code [OVRQ]

See the substitution reason number for Manual Material Selection

- check the Entry box

- check the Warning box

- select A for Stategy

- save.

Go To VB11 to create Material Determination (taking into consideration that all the previous steps for material determiantion i.e. maintaining condition types,maintaining procedures for material determination and assigning procedures to sales doc. types have been done)

Create one material determination,dont forget to give the Subst reason on top and also on the line.

Click the Variants Icon on top left-Srceen opens

Specify different materials you want to swap with the material you have enterd

Note that the subst reason is already copied on the screen

Remember materials should be of the same sales area,atleast Divisions should be same.

Hi

Do you want to substitute one material with a group of 2 or 3 materials? or do you want to see the allowed substitute materials in a popup and wish to select one among them? Please clarify.

Thanks,

Ravi

Sorry for replying to a very old thread..

We have similar requirement.

We want a material to be substituted by 2 or more materials depending on ATP check.. We plan to maintain Parent child relationship in a custom table.. System should check requested qty and check child1 material. if the total qty of child1 is less than requested qty, it should propose child2.. so on and so forth till entire qty is confirmed.. It also should propose the child based on oldest GRN batch date..

Any pointers?
