Automatic Material determination

[Former Member]

hi Gurus,

Please help me regarding material determination:

1. We want to maintain material A, B, C and D thru material determination.

2. Then if we put in material A, we want to have an automatic determination of which material is available (availabilty check).

3. We dont want it to be manually picked, but automatically determined.

How can we do that?

In VB11 transaction select the reason as automatically

Hi,

Material determination is done through condition technique.

First of all maintain the condition type A001 .

Assign your accesss sequence to the condition type.

Create your procedure

Assign procedure to Sales doc type

Define Substitution reason[TCODE:OVRQ], give the substitute reason as 0005.

Create the material determination in VB11, specify the alternative materials as B,C,D and give the substitute reason as 0005.

Plz reward points if helpful.

Is it really 0005? not 0004?

In VB11 create material determination condition record and specify the alternative materials as B,C,D and give the substitute reason as 0005.

and make a check for the MRP Indicator for material D.

The system checks for A and if no stock then B if no stock then C and so on;

There fore the MRP Ind should be set for material D.

Reward points if useful.

Hi

I remember it as 0005. This meets your requirement.

Thanks,

Hi

This can be configured in the SUBSTITUTION REASON and assign that to the VB11 condition records.

Based on the availability of the material, it confirms the materials and determines the alternate materials (one or more) in different line items based on their availability.

Thanks,

hi Ravi,

do you know which substitution reason to use for this?

example:

I entered material A, but material A has no stocks, so he checks B but it also has no stocks, but automatically chooses C because it has stocks.

Thanks.
