. Use-Up Strategy 

Definition

Setting you can use to control the use-up of stock for a discontinued product.

Use

You use the use-up strategy to define whether the system can use stock and fixed receipts of a discontinued product to cover requirements after the use-up date of the product.

The following strategies are available:

·        Use-up is not permitted.

If stock or fixed receipts still exist on the discontinuation date, they represent scrap. They can no longer be used.

·        Use-up is permitted until a specific date – the use-up date.

A requirement between the discontinuation date and the use-up date first has to use the available stock and fixed receipts. If stock or fixed receipts still exist after the use-up date, these also represent scrap.

·        Use-up is possible without any time constraints.

Requirements after the discontinuation date must use surplus stock and fixed receipts.
