Equivalent Material Code

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have one requirement as follows.

Technically materials are same. But it has different code and descriptions. When we check the material system should show other material in stock.

Example:

We have material X, Y Z

These materials are technically same specification. But It has different material codes.

When we check Material X in system, if not in stock, immediately system should show other stock Y & Z material if stock available.

how do we do in standard configuration?

thanks

Swathi

This is the case of Material determination(substitution) in Sales & Distribution.

I feel this is rather the case of a super dumb unreasonable requirement.

"For safer side", seriously? What's so safe about it? Is 3 a magic number? Why not create 1003 material numbers then? To be even safer.

You can totally procure the same exact material number from any number of vendors. The business will run even "smoother" and, you know, Simpler.
