The interchangeability group is used to define a set of materials that can be substituted for one another in production or inventory processes.

  Check Dependencies: Before deleting an interchangeability group, check if there are any dependencies or references to this group in other areas of the system (e.g., material master records). Deleting a group that is still in use may lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process or the implications of deleting an interchangeability group, consult your organization's SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team.
  
  
  Related Information:
