If you enter a quotation line with a part that is not available, you may want to use a substitute part to replace it with or to fill up to the desired sales quantity. From the quotation line, you can open the Substitute Sales Part dialog and choose a substitute part.
For a released quotation line, you must first cancel the line and then enter new lines with the original and substitute sales parts. You must then release the sales quotation again. A message indicating that the desired quantity is not available is displayed when converting the sales quotation into a customer order with an order type with priority reservations.
For the substitute sales parts function:
If you have chosen substitute parts, the original quotation line is removed and new quotation lines for the replacement parts are created. The sales part number of the originally requested part is stored in the Original Part No column on the new quotation line. If you decide to enter the available quantity or some of the originally ordered sales part and some of the substitute sales part, two quotation lines are created.
