SD: Material Determination

• Material determination is used for exchanging materials in sales documents.
• It follows condition technique.

• There are two ways of material determination
• Manual Selection (shows list of all possible values)
• Automatic selection (It replace new item automatically)
• For material substitution reason (OVRQ), if we select outcome A, it carries product selection in delivery again.

Substitution Reason (OVRQ)

• Path is SPRO->IMG->Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Material Determination->Define Substitution Reasons
