Event controlled product substitution case in SAP IS Retail

[Former Member]

Requirement: Event controlled product substitution case

SAP System: SAP ECC 6.0 with IS Retail and without F&R and APO

To check for the available stock of original material and replace it with a FU/Replacement material if the stock is zero or less than the ordered quantity (in a STO).

We have done the following to achieve this:

1. SAP IMG: Maintain Follow up Categories

Created a Follow up category number: 01

FU Category: Replacement material

Priority and Validity: checked

Check cycles: No check

2. Using T code: WRFFUART, we have assigned a replacement material to a original material and provided validity period with priority 01.

Issue: While creating a STO or at the time of Delivery creation, the original material is not getting replaced with the substitution material (depending on the stock situation)

Hi,

is this issue still open?

Does the replacement article have stock?

Have you activated the substitution processing?

In the article substitution - application-specific control profile how have you maintained the parameter Quantity Control for Replacement Articles - Event Controlled? There will no quantity from the replacement product ordered when you use option 'Original Article with Available Quantity; If 0: Substitution Article with full quantity').

Kind regards,

Hi all,

I try to setup substitution in sap retail. When I update IMG for follow-up category, could I confirm that if validity is checked for follow-up article, system will assume it is a follow-up time-controlled?

It is because I checked the table. The field control_type ( with value: time-controlled; event-controlled) is not populated no matter I checked or unchecked the validity field.

Is it another way to control whether its time-controlled or event-controlled.
