| Remove Used Up Materials from Alternative Materials (tibom0252m000) |  |
| Use this session to to remove the use-up materials from the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session, if you used up (almost) all of the use-up material's inventory. The session looks for alternative materials of which the Alternative Priority field in the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session is Use up. If the inventory of this material is zero (and no supply orders are present for the item), ERP LN removes the item from the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session. This action is limited to items for which the Shop Floor Planner field in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session names a planner that is part of the range of shop floor planners that you entered. Minimum quantity You cannot always reduce the inventory exactly to zero. Sometimes, you want to keep a small quantity of the use-up material, for research, documentation, or use as spare parts. You can use the Minimum Quantity for that purpose. If the use-up material's remaining inventory is less than the value you specified in the Minimum Quantity field, ERP LN ignores the remaining inventory and also removes the item from the Use Up and Alternative Materials (tibom0150m000) session. If you want to ensure that the last remaining quantity of an outdated item is kept as spare part, you must change the item's warehouse to a warehouse that is not included in Enterprise Planning. The Warehouse field in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2500m000) session displays an item's warehouse. The Include in Enterprise Planning check box in the Warehouses (tcmcs0503m000) session determines whether the warehouse is included in Enterprise Planning.

Minimum Quantity | If the item's inventory is less than or equal to this minimum quantity, ERP LN ignores the remaining inventory and removes the use-up material anyway.
Check Planned Orders | If this check box is selected, ERP LN checks for planned orders for the material. If ERP LN finds planned orders, the alternative material is not yet removed. If this check box is cleared, ERP LN does not take planned orders into account.
Simulate | If this check box is selected, ERP LN does not actually remove anything. ERP LN just simulates the process and prints a report that states which materials must be removed.
