Show substituted material in VA01

[ChristianHeck]

Hi all,

I'm currently working with material substitution in VA01. So far the settings work fine. If there is no material available, a substituted material is choosen.

I thought, that it would be possible to show the initial material in VA01, to have a kind of documentation why the system has selected the new material.

To do that I have activated the option "Entry" in transaction OVRQ for the corresponding material substitution rule. Unfortunately it did not effect anything in VA01.

Do I need to customize the system in any other place as well, to have a list of postions with "old/requested" materials and "new/substituted" materials?

Many thanks for any tips and hints.

Best,

Christian

Hi There,

The system shall determine the price for the item but not for the substitute item.for this the item category of main item " TAX", must be relevant for pricing and the item category of substitute item is "TAPS" must not be relevant for pricing.

Item category determination.

S.D TYPE	IT.CATE	USAGE	HL.ITE CA	DFT.ITM	MRP TY	SC.LIN
OR	NORM	PSHP/PSEL		TAX(MAIN ITM)	ND	CX
OR	NORM	PSA2	TAX	TAPS(SUB ITEM)	ND	PP

If the substitute item that has  to be delivered but not the main item. so, the system has to reduce the stock for the substitute item only. For this we must not specify only movement type in schedule line category of main item which is ' CX " and we must specify the movement type " 601  " in the schedule line category of substitute item which is "pp "

Christian,

Did you review "Material Entered" in the Sales order?

Hello DB49,

yes I did. The "material entered" field is filled correctly, but it shoud also show up in the item list, e.g.

Customer wants 10 pieces of good1 which is not in stock.

SAP substitutes good1 with

3 pieces of good2 and

7 pieces of good3 to fulfill the order.

The item list should look like:

10) Good1 - 0

20) Good2 - 3

30) Good3 - 7

Best regards,

Hi Heck,

If you want to see the substitution martial ( in your case GOOD 1) in order  make sure to select A in out come field. so you will get the substitution martial  in line item 1.

Please find  below picture for your reference .

But the out put will be like this

10) Good1 - 10       TAX           CX

20) Good2 - 3         TAPS        PP

30) Good3 - 7         TAPS        PP

where item cat  TAX and sch line cat CX (no movement type) are automatically determined for line item 10, so it will not delivered.

If you want further clarification, please let me know.

But if i put B in out put in ovrq it is also same like a ( i mean what is exact dif between A AND B)

Hi Venu,,

There is no much difference . Option A used in any orders but option B only used in Sales order. In sales order you won`t find any difference, if you use A or B the end result will be same.
