... do you want to control with respect to the two materials:
a. engineering material roll-in roll-out?
b. material planning for alternative materials?
c. material purchasing re-assignment?
d. stockkeeping of obsolete materials?
Depending on the area of your concern in R/3 you have at your disposal:
1. material discontinuation,
2. material-to-material stock transfers,
3. manufacturer's part number management.

: Hi Andrzej,
: THX...
: But it has nothing to do with a suppliers ID in this case.
: I want to use it for example when a material is obsoleted and a new partnumber is available. Or when a product has been given another number, but the product has stayed the same...
: (A business set-up problem from the beginning, very confusing...)
: THX for helping me out on this one!!

: : ...your concern sounds like manufacturer's part control available from 4.5 on. Generally speaking you plan the requirements and manage the inventory of your internal material ID while you purchase supplier's material ID. You control both in the material master and in purchasing master data.
