MM : New product replaces the old product

Dear Gurus,
We do replace old products with new prducts very often in some special product scenarios.
Like new lable or pack comes or the size is changed the old product remain same but sold under different product name.
Scenario :
Product A is replaced with Product B but we don't want Product B to be picked up for sales if we have Product A left in stock.
We want system to consider Product B's stock for MRP but not to be picked up for sales untill Product A completely finishes.
At present we block product B which removes this product from MRP process so  this may increase a dnager of putting extra demand.
What we want is the functionality of phase in , phase out not sure OR MRP on hold location which allows functionality of MRP processing and stock booking infor Product B  but no sales untill product A completely finishes.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
How bout you try doing the below.
1) Follow Anthony's method of using the Follow-up matl field. In Product A, put in Product B in the follow-up matl field.
2) For both Products, exclude storage locations from MRP, so that you do not reorder extra stocks for both Products.
3) Once product A quantity is 0, remove exclude storage locations from MRP for Product B
4) Set Xplant Material Status for Product A, so users will not use it again. Or Flag it for deletion.
Hope this helps.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 9 on an iMac with OS 10.6.8. I bought a new printer/scanner and the program will not import the new scanner to replace the old one. How do I do this?

    Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm  not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

  • MY hard drive crashed and I had to replace it. Now when I try to sync my iPod with iTunes it says that I have to replace the old library (that is lost forever) with the new library to sync. I do not want to lose all the songs on my iPod! What can I do?

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

  • I ran out of space on my time machine  because I bought a new I MAC to replace the old one.  So I copied the old one on the new one  and in addition to that I own a macbook.  So what should I do erase the old IMAC on my  Time capsule ? Shall I reset it?

    Go to the airport utility and erase the TC disk.. a quick erase is fine and takes less than 1min usually.
    A one pass erase takes several hours depending on how big the hard disk is.. but is somewhat safer in that it tests the drive condition. I normally don't bother for a TM backup.
    When you start over you should be able to fit both backups on the TC.. assuming the disk is 2x larger at least than the space used on both the MB and the iMac.
    If not you can also add a USB drive to the TC, and use that for one of the computers.
    The slowest one is best.. as USB is slow.. but fast enough for wireless you won't notice much.

  • HT3226 My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one

    My iphone 4s fell down on the floor and a very very small bit on the edge of my iphone were broken. Can I insert a new iphone body panel with replace the old one.. ???

    I think I had it on the iCloud, I just changed computers and had part of my old computer backed up, where are the default iTunes info saved like the pictures and I know my contacts were backed up cuz I kept getting updated stuff that I wasn't sure about, but it was contacts where some belonged to my wife's contacts....but anyway, if the cloud backed up contacts, it should have grabbed pictures too? Like I asked before, if they were backed up to the computer, is there a default iTunes folder they are saved to? I had a crap load of pictures on there that I usually could really access if I was connected to wi-fi. I turned off my data stuff as I only have 4GB and between me and my 2 kids, we seemed to use up a lot of it. My son would play music from Pandora during work, and use up all our data til I limited him to only 3GB, my daughter and I barely used 1GB. Anyway, thanks to everybody that is answering. I thought I might have done good finding the dang sim card, but pointless I guess.
    Ralph - F.Y.I. I would be happy to back up the iPhone if I could turn it on LOL......I am pretty positive I did, but what about Text messages? ANY of those saved too or not? Sorry guys, I don't know a **** of a lot about cell phones, but I do know about memory cards, but not sim cards that act like memory cards or look like them anyway. What is the purpose of a sim card if I may ask a stupid question since they don't hold any data from my phone stuff. I just hope my stuff comes back on the new replacement phone once I get it up and running. Again, thanks to everybody for the edumucation.

    Bought a new Canon MG7540 printer to replace the old HP A618. When printing vector objects from Illustrator, they look like graphics from dandy (8 bits) ... no smooth, all cubes ... if do raster than print perfectly.  Who knows how to treat it? No well to rasterize vector before each printing. OS - MacOs 10.10.

    Have you read the User's Guide for that printer?  Odds are you will get reasonable prints.  However, it is a photographic printer.  That said, it should print excellent quality photographic files.  To get smooth lines in Illustrator, try Preferences > Use Anti-Aliased Artwork.  That will smoothen the output.  If, for some reason, that does not work, try Print > Save As PDF > open PDF in Reader and print from there.  Check the User's Guide for media sizes available for your particular printer.  Setup your artboard to the size page you want the image to print on.  Use View > Show Page Tiling ( to see where the page's printable area lies.  Align the page with the artboard using the Page tool.

  • Can iTunes convert a file and replace the old file with the new one?

    I am trying to convert my wav files to Apple Lossless to save some space. How can I convert the files and make them replace the old files? Right now it just converts new files so that I end up with two files. I have thousands I want to convert and just replace the old ones.
    I have an external program that will do it for me, however if I go that route then when my ITunes files are converted to lossless files I need to re-link the files as they show up with the ! showing they are missing. That would mean manually re-linking every song, which would take forever unless there is a way to mass re-link all the files.

    iTunes does not see the newly created files as the same file because they are not the same file.  They are new, different files.  If you have a track that is 1234.wav and you create 1234.mp3 it simply isn't the same file and you can't trick iTunes into thinking it is.  iTunes will handle it as a brand new file.
    Check Dougscripts web site for scripts which help modifying tag data.  However, I suspect you won't find any doing exactly what you want doing.  Some tag data are only accessible by iTunes itself.
    As for playlists, there's things you can try though they may be more effort than they are worth.  For example, you could add a special code for each playlist to some element of a tag (e.g., grouping).  Convert the file, then make a smart playlist selecting for the code you added to the group of tracks in the old playlist.  If you have hundreds of playlists with a dozen tracks each this will be a grand nuisance.  If it is a handful of playlists with hundreds of tracks each this might be worth it.
    Another way to preserve playlists would be to edit the .xml copy of the iTunes library file, replacing ".wav" with ".mp3" or whatever format you are using.  However, this won't help with play counts because that is only stored in the .itl copy of the file which you cannot edit.

  • Replacing the old value with new value on the website

    Hi ,
    I have two input fields CLIN # and PR#.When i enter the text,for the first it is working fine,second time when i enter it is replacing the value which i enter with the first one.I should not replace the old value.
    ex:
    Example when i enter test5 for the first time
    CLIN # :Test 5
    Next when i enter Test6 ,this value replaces the first one
    CLIN#: Test6
    CLIN#:Test6(there is no test5)
    I am doing for my istore application.Any ideas

    As the user that created the anonymous block ruun:
    select count(*) from general_acct_mast_table;
    and
    select tbaadm.count(*) from general_acct_mast_table;I strongly suspect that they are actually two different tables, and the tbaadm version is substantially larger that the non-qualified one.
    In any case I would not be doing this as a row-by-row procedure. I would create two lookup tables like:
    create table masked_general as
    select acid, foracid, round(dbms_random.value(81000000,85000000)) masked
    from (select distinct acid, foracid
          from general_acct_mast_table
          where acct_ownership not in ('O'));
    create table masked_stmnt as
    select * from masked_general;
    alter table masked_general add constraint masked_general_pk
       primary key (acid);
    alter table masked_stmnt add constraint masked_stmnt_pk
       primary key (foracid);Then do the updates as:
    update (select g.foracid, g.acid, gm.masked
            from general_acct_mast_table g
               join masked_general gm
                  on g.acid = gm.acid)
    set foracid = masked;
    update (select s.foracid, sm.masked
            from mini_stmnt_details_table s
               join masked_stmnt sm
                  on s.foracid = sm.acid)
    set foracid = masked;Note that this assumes that both acid and foracid are individually unique in general_acct_mast_table, which seems to be implied by your procedure, and that you want to be able to roll the whole thing back if there are problems (that is, you do not want to commit between the update of general_acct_mast_table and mini_stmnt_details_table).
    I would also probably a a verification step after creating the first masked table to ensire that you did get unique vluaes back fo the masked column.

    I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.1.  I had an Epson Inkjet printer (Stylus C88 ) that had seen its better days. I purchased a refurbished model (C88+ ) to replace the old one, simple enough. Since I've done this before, I didn't think I had to install the CD. I have since discovered the CD isn't recognized on my computer and/or by this Mountain Lion system and that I had to go to Apple to upgrade the new driver for this product, and which I did, but I can't find the epson folder  other than the attached. I just want to place an alias printer logo on my desktop but I can't find it anywhere.   What to do???

    Hi, one question & one suggestion...
    What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

    I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!

  • Recently downloaded latest version, will I lose my bookmarks if I replace the old mozilla ?

    I'm currently using the 13.0.1.
    I just downloaded the latest verison of Firefox.
    The new version asks me to replace the old one.
    I'm very happy with firefox, but how do I make sure I do not lose my bookmarks and passwords and details stored on my current Firefox.

    The new - actually, any - version of Firefox is separate from your profile and from data in it, like bookmarks, passwords etc. You can of course export it to be extra sure:
    [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    I dont know, however, if this includes information on your version. See the following on how to make a copy of the relevant information
    [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Let us know, if it helped

  • How can tell the script I want to save unsaved files but not replace the old one?

    Hi everyone
    I got this script
    var docs = app.documents; 
    for (var i = docs.length-1; i >= 0; i--) { 
        if (docs[i].saved == false) { 
            docs[i].save(new File(“~/Desktop/Document.indd”)); 
            docs[i].close(); 
        else { 
            docs[i].close(SaveOptions.YES); 
    close and save files
    but if I have two or more files, I want to save files like Doc1, Doc2...
    the new file will never replace the old one
    Can some one tell me how can I do that?
    Thanks
    Regard

  • I updated to Firefox 4 and it will not work so I can not get on line and it replaced the old firefox so I also lost all my bookmarks. I need them back. How do I get them?

    I have a Mc g5 with the 10.4.11 operating system. Your site is my home page and it kept bugging me to update to the firefox 4. So I did now when I try to get on it tells me that that "I can not open this application because it is not supported on this system". It replaced the old firefox that I had so I can not open that. I have no way to get to my book marks and I need them. Let me know how to get back to my old firefox and book marks.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:
