Material Listing / Exclusion with RBA

[Former Member]

Hey Gurus,

We have GATP active with Allocation check, then Availability then Product Substitution (using GATP RBA conditions and rules).

This scenario is working fine, but we have a problem when the substitution occurs and the new material is listed. SAP allow us to save Sales Order with the listed material.

I.E:

Material A (listed for sales) - 0 stock.

Material B (not listed) - 200 stock

Sales Order with 100 peaces

Material A (listed for sales) - 0 stock

Substitution Occurs
Material A (listed for sales) - confirmed 0
Material B (not listed) - confirmed 100

The problem is because Material B is listed, substitution should not occur, or VA01 should shown error message (Material B is not listed and therefore not allowed).

Can you guys please help me?

Best regards

We are using an Exclusive Substitution Rule with the not listed material to solve this issue.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

Are you asking about Material listing and substitution together?

or whenever Material substitution happens, it should not substitute non available materials?

please clarify

Thank you for your reply Kumar,

When i input Material B (not listed) directly on sales order, VA01 shows error message Material B is not listed and therefore not allowed before any ATP check.

But if i input Material A (listed for sales) on sales order, due to unavaillable stock, substitution occurs for Material B (not listed) but this Material B is not checked again in Listing / Exclusion on ECC system.

Thats why system allow us to save the order with the not listed material.

The problem is the new material B should be checked in Material Listing / Exclusion also.
