Documentation

Definition

Identifies the material as a part to be discontinued and includes it in the discontinued parts procedure in materials planning.

Use

If this indicator is set, the system transfers the dependent requirements in materials planning to the follow-up material if they are no longer covered by warehouse stocks. However, this requires:

• The part to be discontinued and the follow-up material to be planned using material requirements planning (MRP)
• The base unit of measure of the follow-up material to be the same as that of the part to be discontinued

Note

In subcontracting, uncovered requirements are not switched to the follow-up material after the effective-out date. This is indicated by a corresponding exception message (58) in the MRP list.
