• SAP Tcode: VB11 - Create Material Substitution

  
  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code VB11 is used to create material substitutions in the SAP system. It allows users to substitute one material for another in a production order or sales order. This is useful when the original material is not available or when a different material is more cost-effective. 
  
  Functionality: 
  The VB11 transaction code allows users to create a substitution rule for a specific material. This rule will determine which material should be used instead of the original material. The substitution rule can be set up to apply to all orders or just specific orders. The substitution rule can also be set up to apply only to certain plants or customers. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Enter the transaction code VB11 in the command field. 
  2. Enter the material number of the original material in the Material field. 
  3. Enter the material number of the substitute material in the Substitute Material field. 
  4. Select whether you want this substitution rule to apply to all orders or just specific orders, plants, and customers. 
  5. Click Save to save your changes. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is important to note that when creating a substitution rule, it is important to ensure that the substitute material has similar characteristics as the original material. This will ensure that the substitution does not cause any issues with production or sales orders. Additionally, it is important to test out any new substitution rules before applying them to production or sales orders, as this will help ensure that they are working correctly and that there are no unexpected issues with them.
