What is the significance of Substitution reason in Material determination.

Are the values of substitution reason linked with other units or is it just a text input/information field?

Nikhil,

Substitution reason is the thing that controls how the material determination or substitution happens.

Below are the controls that it provides.

--> Throw a warning message before substituting the material

--> Defines the strategy whether product selection should occur automatically in the background or whether the alternative materials should be offered for selection in a dialog box

--> Outcome , How the new material need to be substituted, Whether it should replace the current item or add a new line item in the order.

--> Substitution category, in case of the service item.

You are going to enter this substitution reason in the condition record.

Regards,

Ajai.

it is the substitution reason that controls system how to call and process programs for material substitution. Important parameters appended to substitution reason are "strategy" (whether automatic replacement, availability check.. take place) and "outcome" (display as subitem or not).

If you need to control product selection process, assign the suitable substitution reason to the master record.

hi

it is just for information purpose why we had substitued the material

Optionally, a reason for the substitution (the reason may appear in system messages during sales order processing)
