Product Selection in Deliveries (SAP Library - Basic Functions and Master Data in SD Processing (SD-BF))

Product Selection in Deliveries

Purpose

Depending on your settings in Customizing, the system carries out a new product selection in the delivery. This function allows you to recheck the available quantity of the substitutes and make the adjustments necessary to ship the largest quantity of preferred materials to the customer.

Process Flow

When you create a delivery for an order containing a product that is on substitution, the system checks:

The substitution reasons assigned to the alternative products

If you have specified outcome A, the system carries out a new product selection in the delivery. If you have specified outcome B, sub-items are copied unchanged into the delivery from the order.

For zero quantities

If the customer has rejected a product, or there is no available inventory for a substitute, the sub-items contain a zero quantity. The system determines whether these items should be included in the delivery from the delivery item category.

The main and sub-item categories to calculate weight at the appropriate level

Note that if the main item is weight/volume relevant, you must create a new VOFM copy routine to copy this value from the order.
