Define
Substitution Reasons
In this step, you define substitution reasons
for material determination. The substitution reasons are entered in the master
records for material determination.
You can specify additional control parameters
and system responses for each substitution reason:
- You can specify whether the substituted
material is included in relevant output types (for example, order
confirmation), so that you can tell what the original material was after
material determination has been carried out.
- You can control whether the system issues a
warning message before it substitutes a material.
- You can specify whether a material is
automatically substituted by another, or whether several possible substitutes
are displayed for selection.
- With the outcome, you specify whether a
document item is replaced or whether the substitute is created as a subitem of
the original entry.
