Conversion of ACOPOS multi
➢ The conversion needs to be coordinated between the responsible sales person and the customer. An agreement of the customer is
needed. All customers ordering such devices must be informed regarding the discontinuation and the possible software/hardware
incompatibilities.
➢ Sales need to be sure to have the same price maintained for the customer for the replacement part number in the price management
tool (or if the customer needs a new offer you can use IQ) as for the discontinued product.
➢ The agreement of the customer is either a changed purchase order (best case) or an e-mail including the message that they are ok
with the conversion of their open sales orders to the replacement material code XY.
➢ The new PO needs to be attached to the corresponding SAP-order number by order processing (or the agreement of the customer can
be stored in the customer master data in SAP – XD02).
➢ Order processing updates the order with the new part number and rejects the obsolete part with rejection reason ZK (attention in
case of intercompany-orders – order update to be done in SAP-transaction ME22N not in VA02).
