Using up remaining stock of outdated itemsOften, new items are introduced that, make other items obsolete. The obsolete items are no longer deliverable or the items are no longer manufactured. If an outdated item is used as material in a job shop bill of material, you must replace the material by a replacement item with the same specifications. If a quantity of outdated material remains in stock, it must be used up first. Note
Restrictions
Checks for use-up materials At any of the following moments, depending on parameter settings, LN can check whether you must use any use-up material:
To use revisions and lot control instead of use-up materials If you use the Engineering Data Management module to control changes in a job shop bill of material and you link subsequent revisions to the same item code on a BOM line, you cannot apply the use-up functionality. For that situation, you can apply lot control and use the FIFO outbound method. That outbound method ensures that you use up the outdated revision before you take the new revision.
