Process documentation Assigning Follow-Up and Replacement Articles Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

This process allows you to assign one or more follow-up or replacement articles to the original article. A follow-up article replaces an original article permanently, whereas a replacement article only replaces it for a specific period of time.

You can make assignments on different levels using local assortments for one site, or general assortments for a group of sites or all sites.

You can display, change, and delete existing assignments of follow-up or replacement articles for original articles.

Prerequisites

·        You have created all the articles that you want to assign as follow-up or replacement articles in the article master.

Note

You can also use core master data to create follow-up or replacement article relationships.

For more information about core master data, see Article: Core Master Record.

·        Original articles and follow-up and replacement articles do not belong to the following article categories:

¡        Generic article

¡        Merchandise category article

¡        Merchandise category hierarchy article

¡        Group article

¡        Merchandise category reference article

·        Original articles and follow-up and replacement articles are active articles. This means that they are not deleted logically at basic data level.

·        In Customizing for follow-up categories, you have defined follow-up categories for follow-up and replacement articles for which the system performs checks.

For more information about Customizing for follow-up categories, see Logistics - General under Article Master ® Retail-Specific Settings ® Settings for Follow-Up/Replacement Article ® Maintain Follow-Up Categories.
