  Replacement material is a feature of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) that allows users to replace an existing material with a new one. This feature is useful when a product needs to be updated or changed due to changes in the market or customer requirements. It allows users to quickly and easily update their materials without having to manually enter all the new information.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the replacement material feature, users must first create a new material in the system. Once the new material is created, users can then select the existing material they wish to replace and select the “Replace” option. This will open a window where users can select the new material they wish to replace the existing one with. Once selected, the system will automatically update all references of the old material with the new one.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When replacing materials, it is important to ensure that all references of the old material are updated correctly. This includes any documents, drawings, or other related information that may be linked to the old material. Additionally, it is important to ensure that any pricing or other related information is also updated correctly.
