Field help (RPLITM)

Use this field to define a product code that can be used as an alternative for this product. This product can be displayed on the material issue slip or suggested if there is a shortage during manufacture (work order).

Defining an alternate product results in the following checks:

• Existence check - the product is available for selection.
• Loop check - to avoid using the same product during cascading replacements.

If you enter an alternate product, version numbers are determined with respect to this new product.

The Alternate product option is available from the action icon in the Ordered qty. field on sales order lines (Sales order function (GESSOH)). It is not available, however, if the order line has been allocated or partially delivered, billed, or prepared.
