RE: Component use-up methods

Hi,

I am sure the replacement item should be (must be) with a new part number.
You also know upto how many orders (say 'X') this item will lost. Do a
Product structure  maintenance before the 'X+1' orders, to have the new
component in place. In fact I remember mapics using the active period also
for a particular component usage in PSTRUC. Kindly verify.


Thanks,
Devendran A

What approaches do people use to deal with components as far as using up a
component before switching over to a replacement component?  We use MRP to
plan the items involved and they are purchased components.  Thanks in
advance.
