The part to be discontinued and the follow-up material to be planned using material requirements planning (MRP)
The base unit of measure of the follow-up material to be the same as that of the part to be discontinued
In BOM, discontinuation data is maintained for the discontinued item and follow-up data is maintained for the follow-up item
For discontinue material T-T23, Select the Discontinuation ind. as 1 and maintain the Discont.group as 01
Similarly for the Follow up material T-T323 maintain the Follow up group as 01.
Scenario 1: Master data maintained as explained above and stock of discontinue material is available. What will be the
effect of discontinue material and follow-up material during MRP and Order creation.
Step 2 : PIR for FERT Material for 500 qty and MRP MD02 executed. Planned order created for 500 qty.
When replacing a component with another the stock of the discontinue material should be used up before
the follow up material is introduced in order to avoid dead stock. During the planning run, the system
checks thediscontinuation indicator and the effective-out date in the material master and reassigns the
materials correspondingly. The system reassigns the requirements during the planning run for the
discontinued material.
Below screen shot displays the FERT planned order Component overview. Here we can see the
discontinue material T-T223 available stock qty of 50 is considered and remaning qty 450 is considered
from the follow up material T-T323.
As shown below for the discontinue material T-T223 MRP did not generate any procurement proposals since it is discontinue
material with effective date 19.03.2014. Instead it created dependent requirement for 50 available qty. Once all the stocks of this
material have been used up, its dependent equirements are reassigned to the follow-up material.
As shown below for the follow up material T-T323 MRP generated purchase requsition for 50 qty since 400 is already available
against total dependent requirement of 450 qty.
Once Order is created for the FERT material acordingly reservations are generated for 50 qty for discontinue material(since stock
available for 50 qty) and 450 qty for the follow up material.
In Nutshell, MRP will not generate procurement proposals from effective date for discontinue materials. Reservations will be
generated for availale stock qty till stock of discontinue materials becomes zero and thereafter all the dependent requirements of
discontinue materials be reassigned to follow up materials.
Note 1: If stock of the discontinue material is zero then when order is created for the parent material - in order componenet
overview for discontinue material requirement qty will be displayed as ZERO and for folllow up material actual requirement qty
will be displayed.
Note 2: If dicontinue data is maintained in Material Master and not maintained in BOM, MRP will not plan but in order,
requirement qty will be displayed in order componenet overview as per BOM qty for both discontinue material and follow up
material.
Note 3: If you try to set the discontinuation for a follow-up material, then error message "Message no. 61224 -Multi Level
Discontinuation not suported" will be generated when you try to run MRP. Refer Note 398238 - Error message 61224 for parts
provided
