Discontinued Concept - Unable to generate the requirement for Follow up Material

[former_member261620]

Hi,

I have mentioned Discon. Indicator- 1, Effective Out Date as 16.06.2016 with follow up material in MRP-4 view in material master of material to be

discontinued. The requirement still getting generated for Discontinued material rather than follow up material.

The following checks has been performed as -

1. I have mentioned Discon. Indicator- 1 and follow up material in MRP-4 view.

2. The material type 'PD' and base unit of measure have been same for both Discontinued and follow up item.

In order to get the result, following activities have been performed.

1. Planning file entries have been maintained for both materials.

2. Executed MRP in MD02 with scheduling as 1 and planning mode as 3.

Please note that I don't want the follow up material to be maintained in BOM.

Please suggest any setting or an activity which might be missed from my end.

Regards,

Nitesh

Hello

As per my understanding even if in the BOM, if the followup material is not maintained against the discontinuous material than also the system will generate the requirement ofthe followup material. It should not generate the requirement of the discontinued material.

Please share the MD04 for both the materials

and also have a look of the help documents (prerequisite) for the steps

Discontinued Parts - Material Requirements Planning (PP-MRP) - SAP Library

Hello

Please read carefully the following note:

43636

Discontinuation control

This note explains several scenarios where discontinuation does not work. In those case, you will see an exception message in transaction MD05.

If this is not the case, try to plan your materials using MD01 instead of MD02.

Hi Caetano,

I didn't find much in SAP note 43636 relevant to my requirement. I tried using MD01 and is working fine.

Can you please specify or reason about this system behavior..?  It will help for further analysis.

Anyway, thanks for solution offered..!
