Same discontinue and follow up material?

I have used before this function having a follow up material with indicator 1 and effective-out date. However, this time I have 3 materials A, B, C.
The logic I want to use is the following but I'm not sure if SAP supports this:
A = discontinue material and B = Follow-up material. Using indicator 1
B = discontinue material and C = Follow -up material. Using indicator 1.
So far, SAP is not allowing me to have B as discontinue and follow-up material at the same time. Any insights?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Lee,
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
For more information on Discontinuation data, refer Concept of Discontinuation Data - Material Master and BOM

Discontinued part and follow up material

Dear Guru,
How to use discontinued and follow up material with effective date. I am using MTS Scenario.
Please help.

Sanjay Sahoo

Hi Sanjay,
refer to the below link, it should answer your query:
Re: Discontinuation Indicator - Need Guidance
In addition to the above details:
In material master for the material which is being discontinued, in MRP-4 view you need to maintain discontinuation indicator, effective-out date & Follow-up material.
If you need any additional info, revert.
If helpful award points

Discontinuation indicator and follow up material.

Hi,
I am facing the strange issue for which i need your expertise. The requirement is like:
1. "X" material is discontinued and "Y" is as follow-up in two plants A & B. Discontinaution group and follow-up group has also been assigned in the BOM.
2. Now The client want to reverse the settings . means "Y" should be discontinued and "X" should be follow-up in both plants A & B.
Now I have removed the discontinuation indicator and follow up material from "X" in both plants. But when I am going to discontinue the "Y" material and putting " X" as a follow-up material, The system is giving the message "The specified follow-up material results in recursiveness
Message no. M3609
Diagnosis
You have entered a follow-up material. However, the BOM explosion for the follow-up material leads to the discontinued material, resulting in unpermissible recursiveness.
Procedure
Enter another follow-up material or cancel the entry.
Please suggest me where I am missing in my settings and what is the reason for this message.
Regards
Deepak Sharma

Dear ,
Check the following :
1.Validity of the Bill Of Material or any deletion flag is set in the present BOM.
2.Please check the following SAP notes :
Note 161742 - Consulting note: BOM recursion/low-level code 999
Note 839879 - Trace 'BOM is recursive'
Note 139517 - Recursiveness for follow-up materials
Note 42891 - Recursiveness check
Hope this will help you to figure it out

Discontinuity and Follow-up Materials for Finish Goods

Dear all,
We have used for a long time the Discontinuity functionality and Follow-up Materials for Raw and Packaging materials (components in BOMs).
We would like to use the same functionalities for Finish Goods, but after setting fields in MRP4 View, it seems not to work as it did for components.
Is it possible to reproduce the same effect in Finish Goods as we had with components, i.e., use some kind of Discontinuity and Follow-up materials for Finish Goods?
We currently work with R/3 V.4.7.
Thank you all in advance for any support.
Best Regards,
Alberto

Dear Alberto,
If my understanding is correct then this discontinued material concept works only for the components and not for the finished
product during MRP.
Discontinuation Data Use
In MRP, the discontinuation functionality is used to transfer dependent requirements of a component to one or several follow-up
materials, if the requirements are no longer covered by stock. You can also define a follow-up material in the bill of material.

Nested Material Discontinuation and follow-up possible?

Hello Experts,
We have a scenario where we have Material A, Material B, and Material C.
We'd like to set to the discontinuation flag on Material A and have it follow-up with Material B.
We'd also like to set the discontinuation flag on Material B and have it follow-up with Material C.
We can get a 1-to-1 relationship working properly but adding another material to the mix gives us an error message stating that the material is already a follow-up material.
Is there any way around this? We have several older revision material that we'd prefer to use up before continuing on the active material.
Many thanks,
~Adam

Hi Adam,
have you found solution for your issue?? I have the same problem. I've even tried put deletion flag for component A but no results.
maybe somebody else has any clue how to deal with it??
i'm looking forward for any help.

Cost-Roll take follow-up material upon discontinuation effective-out date ?

Dear Expert,
If we use discontinuation/follow-up material, during Cost-Roll (CK11N), SAP will take default cost from discontinued material even if follow-up material is effective.
How to make SAP take cost of follow-up material after/on effective-out date ?
Example :
Parent "A" contains component "B" qty 3, to be follow-up with component "C" upon discontinuation of "B" on effective-out dated 1st Nov'07, and like-wise to take std cost of "B' before 1st Nov'07 cost-roll.
Thus, when I roll cost in December, I hope SAP would calculate for std cost of A to include std cost of "C" (for cost-roll after 1st Nov'07).
Setting :
Material Master of "B" MRP4 view :
- Discontinuation Indicator = 1
- Effective-out date = 1st Nov'07
- Follow-up Material = "C"
BOM of Parent "A" :
- Component "B" indicate discontinuation group "A1"
- Add component "C" and indicate follow-up group "A1".
Thanks for your guidance !

Hello,
We are having the same issue: is a BOM for costing the only way to handle this ? Controlling dept. here fear they wouldn't be maintained as accurately as the production ones (and they are right). We were also thinking to set the phased out materials (B in your example) as cost irrelevant when you add to new material in the BOM...and start costing the father (A in your example) directly with the new component. I would appreciate a lot to hear other examples of dealing with this issue if anybody has.
Thanks a lot,
Olivier

Trnsfr Rqmnt created via PP for discontinuation mateiral and follow up mat

Hi,
Production order was created and it has PN A which has been set for discontinuation (1) with follow up material B. The effective out date is in the future.
When generating WM Picklist, TR was created for both parts and issued. On confirmation only the part marked with discontinuation was consumed.
How can i not generated TR for the follow up part?
Thanks
Jithin

In the production order components details, there is a column for Discontinuation of the components.
If you do not want the TR to be generated for follow up material, then in the material master(MRP 4) view of the parent component remove the followup material first and then uncheck the Discontinuation column in the order.
If you want to discontinue the parent component from now with a followup material put "5" into the column it.It also has a option of simple discontinuation as "1" where in TR for the followup material will not be generated.

Follow up material - old material's stock goes down and up

Hello,
I have a question related to Follow up material. Lets assume that material A is to be replaced by material B, this is specified in the MRP4 view. In the field Eff.-Out an estimate of when the last unit of material A will be received is given in.
If material A's stock drops down to 0 then material B should kick in, but what happends if afterwards material A's stock goes up again and then both material A and B are in stock. Will SAP notice material A's stock level and use it?
Please advice! Thanks!

If you don't know the "Effective-Out Date" (MARC-AUSDT) [because your stock situation is always changing), don't define it in material master. System will try to ramp down the stock of old material first and use the new one after that.
However, you should take measures to prevent increasing the stock from the old material. In the system you can block it for purchasing as it was told you already.

Different Pricing Schema in PO and PIR for same vendor and material

Dear Experts,
I am facing an issue related to MM.
I have a vendor and a material under a plant, purchase Org, purchase group.
When we are creating a Purchase Info Record (PIR), it is picking one pricing schema, while when creating PO for same vendor and material, it is picking another different pricing schema.
As per my knowledge, pricing schema in PO is picked as per pricing schema group of Vendor and I believe same applies for PIR as well. I have only one vendor pricing schema group.
Because of this issue, I have to manually key-in condition values in PO for all condition types even though I have maintained a purchase info record.
Please suggest, what can be reason.
Regards,
Praveen

Hi,
Thanks for clearing my doubts.
However, I stuck-up in another issue.
Problem is that condition type- PB00 is linked with almost all pricing schemas.
Hence, I can't change pricing procedure in condition type- PB00.
Also, I can't include all J* related condition types in RM0002 as well.
Hence, if PB00 remains as RM0002 and I maintain my pricing procedure- ZJIMPO to all J* condition types, still I am not able to create PIR for all J* conditions. Error "Condition type J1CV is not in procedure A M RM0002".
How to handle this issue? Please suggest.
Thanks

Weight discrepancy per pallet for same material, same qty and same pallet s

Hi Gurus
The issue is that in a delivery document only one item line having 75 quantites(it maens same meterial)and that has been packed and in system its showing for few handling units weight is 150 kg and for few handling units its showing as 120kg though the packaging material is same with net weight as 3 kg and one material is packed by one packaging material only so there has 75 handling units in that delivery doc.Can you tell me why this discrenpancy.

Hi Ram,
Please check wheather the split valuation is activated or not for this material.
if it is activated,
go to mm03.
select accouintg view, enter the valuation type ; in your case BATCH1.
then you can see the value of this batch material.
again go to mm03,
enter second batch in the valuation type.
you can see the batch2 material value.

MRP Run with User Exit key for Follow up material

Dear Gurus,
I want to run MRP only for followup materials by using User exit key. For example i have a material X(with discontinued Indicator as 1) and it's follow material is Y.
So we have a user exit key as ZFL, with coding as shown below. Now when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL and parametre as 1, it only runs MRP for material X and not for material Y. What else we need to do so that when i run MD01 with user exit key ZFL, it shoudl consider both X and Y.
WHEN 'ZFL'.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB5 OCCURS 0,
KZAUS LIKE MT61D-KZAUS,
END OF ITAB5.
TRANSLATE USER_PAR TO UPPER CASE.
SPLIT USER_PAR AT ',' INTO TABLE ITAB5.
IF ITAB5[] IS INITIAL.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
CLEAR: NO_PLANNING, STOP_PLANNING.
READ TABLE ITAB5 WITH KEY KZAUS = MT61D-KZAUS.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
NO_PLANNING = 'X'.
ENDIF.

Hi Kumar,
You can use either MRP Type, MRP Controller, MRP Group in this user exit to control the MRP run. For these set of Materials you have to assign any of same value or at least differentiate these material from other material. Then only you can control the MRP by using this user exit even though if you use different MRP Group and MRP Controller. In User Exit, you may have to add your dependent material's MRP Group/MRP Controller. Make sure that these set of materials are different than all other materials.
If you don't have any plan to run MRP for other materials then as per Ajit suggestion you make that material's MRP type as "ND". But, in your business case they may want to activate the MRP for all the material not now but may be latter.
Thanks

Process Order is not picking the follow-up material

Hi Gurus,
We have changed a BOM by discontinuing a component and giving a follow-up material with the valid from dates as 18/5/09. and then MRP is run on that nignt ( mrp job set to run daily in the back ground). and on 19/05/09 a Process Order is created from the planned orders genereated by the MRP run.
now, we found that the new componenet (follow-up) is not copied into the process order, but the old compomemt (discontinued) is removed.
MRP parameters are correctly defined (Planning mode is set to 2) . Please let me know if we are missing anything.
Thanks,
N

Hi
Pl ensure that the Following requirements have been met before you can use the discontinuation functionality:
1) Both materials must be planned using MRP.
2) The base unit of measure of the follow-up material must be the same as the base unit of measure of the discontinued material.
3) You must enter discontinuation data for the discontinued item and follow-up data for the follow-up item.

Alternative item with follow-up material

Hi,
I have a finished product X for that component A-1 pc and B-1 pc is required.
Now A cannot be used in next year thatu2019s why my client wants 1) to issue 2 pcs of A instead of A-1pc and B-1 pc until the stock of A is available. 2) If the stock for A is not available then only it goes for B.
1) I have used alternative item grp with priority: 1, strategy : 2, usage probability 200% for A and priority: 2, strategy : 1, usage probability 0% for B
System issues 2 pc of A only
2) Also maintained follow up material as B so if there is any shortage for A then system is looking for B.
Problem is with the above setting the follow up material and alternative item is not working together. System issues only 1 pc of A if I maintained B as follow up material. If I maintain only alternate item then it issues 2 pc of A but at the same time it will not check B if any shortage occur.
Pls help.

Alternative item group
You can only define discontinuation data for a stock item or variable-size item that is not assigned to an alternative item group.
Once you have maintained discontinuation data for an item, you can no longer assign the item to an alternative item group.
