Documentation

Definition

This flag controls whether the system checks follow-up/replacement relationships for two-step cycles between original material and follow-up/replacement material and whether a message is displayed.

Use

The following values are possible:

  • Error

    If a two-step cycle exists, the system displays an error message and does not save the follow-up/replacement material relationship.

  • Warning

    If a two-step cycle exists, the system displays a warning message, but saves the follow-up/replacement material relationship.

  • No check

You cannot create any other values.

A two-step cycle exists when the follow-up/replacement material in a follow-up/replacement material relationship is the original material in a second follow-up/replacement material relationship, and in turn, the follow-up/replacement material of this second follow-up/replacement material relationship is the original material of the first. In addition, both relationships have to have the same follow-up category number.

Example of a two-step cycle:

Follow-up/repl. material relationship 1    Original material:        1000

    Follow-up/repl. material:        2000

    Follow-up category number:        01

Follow-up/repl. material relationship 2    Original material:        2000

    Follow-up/repl. material:        1000

    Follow-up category number:        01
