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

Hi All,

Thanks for replying to all.

We found the way to maintain thru material master.

There is one Z table should maintain in material master under basic data view one. There we need assign all equivalent material against that one material. ie. A is main material. B & C are equivalent material for A. So We need to maintain B & C in Z table against A material.

During the stock availability check, we need to maintain Z T.code similarly MB5B.

There if we give material A stock will display A + B + C all together.

Hope you all understand.

Thanks

Use Ind. Std. Description (which is purely a text field) to group your all related materials with a unique searchable code and develop a report which can be executed using this field as selection option. Or you can include this field in any standard report for execution.
