Summary :
This SAP Note discusses issues in Material Requirements Planning (MRP) when using simple discontinued parts as alternative items in Bill of Materials (BOM). Despite warnings from message 29477, MRP processes both the discontinued parts and the usage probabilities of alternatives, leading to inconsistent requirements. Current system configurations mix functionalities for discontinued parts and alternative controls, which are not separately manageable due to shared fields in the RESB table. No current solutions are available to correct inaccurate behaviors from simultaneous use of discontinuation and alternative item features. Users are advised against using discontinued parts for alternatives in BOM maintenance to prevent errors.
