• Description: Supersession Modeling A supersession strategy describes supersession in terms of the cardinality of the sucessor products in combination with the link category. The link category describes whether several products together replace one product or one product replaces several products together AND link, or whether several products alternatively replace one product or one product alternatively replaces several products OR link. If product A consists of product X and Y, and you no longer want to sell product A as a whole but rather as individual products X and Y, this is an AND link. If you previously used the predecessor product A in models X and Y, and now want to replace A in model X with sucsessor product B, and A in model Y with successor product C, this is an OR link.
