hi

Material determination enables the automatic substitution of materials in sales documents during sales order processing.

For example, during the course of a sales promotion, the system can, during sales order entry, automatically substitute a material that has promotional packaging.

A consumer product may have a special wrapper for, for example, the Christmas season. Using material determination, the system substitutes the material only during the specified period.

when we substitute a material instead of other materials when the product is obsolete and product is outdated material determination triggers

In other words when we discontinue some material or upgrade same material we replace old with new one in that scenario we use material determination

Hi

Matrial Determination in useful in situations like.....

1. If International Article Numbers(EAN) are used for the materials.

2. In case of Non Availability of materials

3. If an improved version is released for that material

4. If special offers and special packings are to be determined in place of the regular material(eg., Cristmas offers etc.,)

Thanks,

Hi Anand,

A consumer product may have a special wrapper for, for example, the Christmas season. Using material determination, the system substitutes the material only during the specified period.

In addition, you can use material determination if you want the system to automatically substitute, for example:

      • customer-specific product numbers with your own material numbers

      • International Article Numbers (EANs) with your own material numbers

      • Substituting discontinued materials with newer materials

Reward if it helpful
