Prerequisites
Before you maintain alternative items, decide the following points for MRP and withdrawal postings:
Procedure
To maintain alternative item data:
You will find it easier to use the same item number for all the items in an alternative group. Change the item numbers if necessary.
The item detail screen of the first item selected appears.
You see the Alternative item data dialog box, in which you enter the following data:
– Priority
– Strategy
Enter the same strategy for all alternative items in an alternative item group.
– Usage Probability
If you enter a usage probability, then the alternative item serves as information. In this case, the system displays an appropriate warning message.
The system goes back to the item detail screen. The button is displayed alongside the AltItemGrp field. By clicking on this button you can later change the data.
