Documentation
Definition
This freely-definable character string is used to group together related items to be discontinued in a BOM.
Use
You can control the discontinuation as follows:
- Simple discontinuation
An item that is to be discontinued is replaced by a an item that is is to be introduced to the BOM.
- Settings in the material master record (materials planning):
- The discontinuation indicator value 1 is set in the material master record of the item to be discontinued.
- Settings in the BOM:
- The follow-up group of the item to be introduced and the discontinuation group of the item to be discontinued must have the same value.
- Dependent parallel discontinuation
One group of materials is replaced by another group. If an item is to be discontinued (main item), another item (dependent item) is also discontinued.
- Settings in the material master record (materials planning):
Material of the main item to be discontinued: value 1
Material of the dependent item: value 3 - Settings in the BOM:
Both the main item and the dependent parallel item to be discontinued are identified by the same discontinuation group.
Both the follow-up group of the items to be introduced and the discontinuation group of the items to be discontinued must have the same value.
Dependencies
You can only enter a discontinuation group for an item if the discontinuation indicator (material master, MRP 4 view) supports discontinuation.
A discontinued item is replaced by a follow-up item. In the follow-up item, you maintain a follow-up group.
Examples
- Example for a simple discontinuation

- Example for a Parallel discontinuation
Items 0010 (material M-1) and 0011 (material M-2) to be discontinued are replaced by items 0010 (material M-3) and 0011 (material M-4) to be introduced.
Discontinuation indicator in the material master record:
- M-1: value 1 (main discontinued item)
- M-2: value 3 (dependent discontinued item)
