 Substitute Locations from the Master Data (With Condition Technique)

Purpose

The rules-based ATP check uses this process to determine substitution lists for an input locationfrom the substitution procedures for the master data for product and location interchangeability (master data for interchangeability) instead of from the substitution procedures from integrated rule maintenance .

Prerequisites

You have made all the settings in the interchangeability master data and in integrated rule maintenance. For more information, see Substitutions from Master Data (With Condition Technique) .

Process

  1. The system performs a rules-based ATP check and determines one or more rules for which you have defined a location determination procedure from the interchangeability master data.

  2. The system checks whether you have set a filter for replacement types from the interchangeability master data in integrated rule maintenance.

  3. The system determines substitute locations in the specified location determination procedure in the interchangeability master data. The number of substitute locations determined depends on the filter for replacement types that you have defined in integrated rule maintenance . The system only takes account of the substitutions whose replacement type is not contained in the filter.

  4. In the interchangeability master data, the system determines the date and the time for the validity start date and the validity end date of each location substitution.

  5. If you have specified a location determination activity in the interchangeability master data, the system evaluates its settings in integrated rule maintenance.

  6. The system uses the rule control to determine location products by combining substitute locations with product substitutions or with the input product.

  7. The system determines a validity period for the substitute location product by combining the validity of the substitute product with the validity of the substitute location. If the substitute location product consists of the substitute location and input product, the validity period corresponds to the validity of the substitute location.

  8. The system checks the availability of the requirement quantity for the substitute location products.
