Hi:
Has anyone tried the following using Interchangeability Master data and RBA?
1. Create a supersession chain. A-> B
2. Create a location substitution chain (<b>loc_chain</b>). L1 -> L2
3. Create a location determination procedure called <b>loc_proc</b>. Add to this the location substitution chain (<b>loc_chain</b>) created in the previous step.
4. In the Integrated rule maintenance, create a rule where you assign this location determination procedure loc_proc to the location determination procedure (INC MD).
<b>Expected results:</b>
I am expcting that the system should search for the following location products: 1) A-L1, 2) B-L1, 3) A-L2, 4) B-L2.
<b>Actual Result:</b> The system is only searching for 1) A-L1, 2) B-L1. That is, it is not using the location determination procedure.
Any thoughts on how I can debug this problem? Thanks.

Dear Satish,
in additon to the location determination procedure you have to create a product substitution procedure and assign your supersession chain to it. Then you have
to go to the rule maintenance, edit your rule and assign the product substitution procedure to your rule. This way both lists (the location list & the product list) will be taken into account when the rule is evaluated.
The way in which the both lists are combined are then set up in the rule control. There you have two options to choose from:
1) Combine locations with all products
If you choose this option, then in your case the result would be:
A-L1, A-L2, B-L1, B-L2
2) Combine products with all locations
In the case, the result would be:
A-L1, B-L1, A-L2, B-L2 (Your preferred result.)

Christian
