Function Module for material substitution

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Please can someone guide me how to find the list of available subsitutes for a given material?

If there is a straight function module it would be nice. Else

list of tables is nice too.

Hi,

You can see the list of substitutes for a given material using VB13 directly. Let me check about the tables and function modules .

Thanks Ajit, but unfortunately Tcode will not serve the purpose.

I need to use the FM in a code to find the material subsitutes.

Just for info. the program which we are building is a Custom based ATP. WHich will take a material and quantity as input and , first get all the subsitutes for that material.

Then program will check the material availability in the default plant for the cusotmer and then if availability not found then search if some subsitute is available for the requested quantity.
