Material disposition and ECM

[Former Member]

I was wondering how ECM deals with material disposition. I have a material in revision 1. I have some stock and some open production orders for that too. Now when I revise the material to revision 2 what would happen to my stock and open orders. Can I have ECM prompt me to check existing stock and open orders whenever I do an ECM change say for material or BOM etc.

Hello Mr.Malla,

You can use Order Change management along with ECM, through which you can find out which all production orders will get impacted because of this change and also POs released for that old material etc and then control the process manually.

You should use a release status for OCM.Further details you can find in SAP help of PP Module.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you for your reply. I looked for OCM and it appears to be what I need. For anyone interested here is the link with an example.
