Problem with Material Substitution

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

In VB12, we set the order reason to something that will make the substitute material as a sub-item. Then we create the SO via VA01, and the subtitute material is correct to be in the sub-item.

We have changed the order reason of material determination from something that makes the substitute material as a sub-item to something that makes it automatically replaced. Meaning, no sub-item, instead, the substitute will replace the original material in SO line item.

We change the qty of SO created via VA01 but the original material was not replaced with the substitute material, instead the sub-item has been removed and the original material is maintained in the line item. We are expecting that since the order reason in material determination has been changed, the material number should also be automatically replaced when we do VA02.

Thanks.

Hi,

Create a Substitution rule in GGB1

<BSEG> $KOART = 'K' AND <BSEG> $ZTERM:1: = 'T'

Hi Freishz,

Please go to configuration from SD >> basic functions >> material determination >> define substitution reasons. Reason needed to define in creation material determination from VB12 should be should be deined as below:

-warning should be ticked,

-strategy should be selected as automatic,

-outcome should be defined as B.

I hope these will help you on this issue.

Thanks,
