This is related to Supersession only.

I have supersessioned A with new material D,

Now when I am trying to replace material B with material D it giving error as Chain alreday exist. May i know how to solve this problem?

This implies that only A and D are defined in an SUS chain.

Hence you can replace A with D and not B with D.

Hello

I have a similar problem. As I understand it, IS-A-SUS has not been designed to take account of this functionality at all (i.e. A is replaced by D and then in a separate chain F is replaced by D). D can only exist in one PIC.

I have been asking SAP about this and it appears there is no solution.

Hi All,

I would like to know why 2 supersession chains are needed for same material?

Why not add D to same chain containing A, B and C.

The 'Replacement' (F- forward or I - Interchangeability) type can be used to achieve one-way or two-way interchangebility.

Therefore 2 supersession chains for same material is not needed.

Thanks and regards,

Nagashri
