Material Replace

[Former Member]

Hi people

Does anyone know a way to replace a material in sales order that was already placed by another one?

Material determination (transaction VB11) only works for adding new items.

Hi Indranil

Thank you very much for the tip.

This solution works very well, but doing this the system carry out a new pricing determination. The materials we need to replace are similar and have the same conditions like price and discounts, but unfortunately there are also manual condition discounts and in this case we will lose them. Do you know if there is anyway to do this carrying out the price determination G - "Copy pricing elements unchanged and redetermine taxes"

Thank you.

Hi Emerson

Unfortunately the manual discounts at line item level will not get copied to the new material when you use transaction MASS. In fact even if you are using VA02 to change it the manual conditions would disappear as soon as you do a replacement of material. I am sorry but I am not aware of any way that materials can be substituted with manual condition in items not getting overriden.

Thanks

Hi,

As Mr. Indranil told manual conditions we need to give va02 only

&

Please try VA05 > After executing the report you will get option from the main menu > Edit > Mass change here you have 4 options 1. New Plant 2. New Material 3. New Pricing 4. New currency.

Try the above might be useful to your requirement.

Hi Carlos

If this is for existing sales order wherein you have entered a wrong material and want to replace them with the correct material, the best way is to use MASS transaction to change the entries in VBAP table (Item details of sales order).

In MASS transaction choose object type as BUS2032 (Sales order) and execute. Select Sales Order Item Data and execute. Put the sales document and the item number (Take a dump of VBAP table first-which will give u the sales order number, material and line item number) and execute. You can do the Mass change by specifying the replacement material and clicking the update button.

For setting up a rule, you can use Material determination (VB11)

Thanks
