• Key Concepts: 
  Discontinuation with use-up is a feature in SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Inventory and Production Planning (IBP) module that allows users to plan for the discontinuation of a product or material while still using up the remaining stock. This feature helps users to plan for the end of a product's life cycle while still ensuring that all existing stock is used up. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use this feature, users must first define the product or material that they wish to discontinue. They must then specify the date on which the product or material will be discontinued and the amount of stock that will be used up before the discontinuation date. The system will then calculate the amount of stock that needs to be used up each day in order to meet the discontinuation date. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using this feature, it is important to ensure that all existing stock is used up before the discontinuation date. This can be done by setting a minimum stock level for each day leading up to the discontinuation date. This will ensure that all existing stock is used up before the discontinuation date.
