Definicja Supersession

Application in IS-Automotive, with which material substitutions at the manufacturer are possible in all logistical functions in the system.

Changes to the design, form and function of materials lead to a constantprocess of replacement, particularly in the aftermarket environment. Obsolete parts are replaced by new versions of the same part.

This process is mapped as a chain in the SAP System (supersession chain). If, for example, part A must be replaced by part B, this replacement creates a relationship between part A and part B.

This function is particularly useful for the distribution centers of large manufacturers, but can also be of use to manufacturers themselves and traders with respect to spares procurement.
