• Key Concepts: 
  Substitute material is a feature in SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for Retail and Merchandising (RM) module. It allows users to define alternative materials that can be used in place of the original material in a production process. This feature helps to ensure that production processes are not disrupted due to unavailability of the original material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Substitute material can be set up in the SCM-IBP-RM module by defining the alternative materials that can be used in place of the original material. The alternative materials must be defined in the system before they can be used as substitutes. Once the substitute materials are defined, they can be used in production processes instead of the original material. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that the substitute materials are compatible with the production process and meet all quality requirements. It is also important to ensure that the substitute materials are available when needed, as this will help to avoid any disruption to production processes.
