Part 1 - OLD Part to be used up
Part 2 - NEW Part (Replacement of Part 1) to be on the Scheduling Agreement going forward
Let's say I have 100 pieces of Part 1 to be used before the replacement of Part 2 takes over. The Bill of Material does not have the new part included so the old part is being used up as it should. However, the Scheduling Agreement Requests are going out to the Supplier with the OLD Part number to be depleted instead of the NEW Part number. How do I get the OLD parts to be used up and have the NEW Parts included on the Scheduling Agreements?
I have looked in MM02 in the test environment and included the (1) for discontinuation. Do I put the current date as the effective out date or the date that the OLD material is estimated to be depleted? I have put the followup material and saved. I verified in the BOM that the indicator is checked in the line item detail. I did not put a group in as this seems to be a simple discontinuation - one for one. Does anything need to be changed in the Scheduling Agreement?
