Summary :
This SAP Note addresses issues related to the discontinuation of parts post-consumption, specifically aimed at clarifying symptoms such as reservations failing to redirect to follow-up materials, manual safety stock considerations, and non-redirection of various dependent requirements. Key pointers include the automatic warning system in SAP Release 3.0C for reservations made on discontinued parts, the use of exception message 58 in later releases, and manual adjustments required for handling safety stocks post effective-out date. The guidance also distinguishes between different discontinuation scenarios and provides solutions for precise material and BOM maintenance. Users are advised to ensure correct settings and validations for seamless transition and inventory management.
