IBP Supply Planning Substitution

Former Member

Hi All

We have a scenario which we are trying to model in IBP Supply Planning system .. following is the scenario..

Product A at the Market  is forecasted  .. however this product at the plant is sometimes produced as Product A  and if Product  A cannot be produced it is produced as Product B .. The Forecast from Product A is substituted to Product B  ..

So the requirement is .. when the demand from Product A is placed at the Plant the Plant should see a substitution demand at Product B  and when the Plant would produce Product B the deployment should substitute the receipts to Product A at the Market..

Standard SAP Interchangeability has known limitations to substituting while deploying .. in one of the calls SAP claimed that IBP has a mechanism to handle this .. we are trying to model this in IBP supply .. Has any one come across this scenario or does anyone has a idea how to model this in IBP supply

Regards
