Restrictions on Substitution and suppressing "Maintain substitutes" in SBWP

[prasath natesan]

Thanks for that reply susan. Looks like i will have to customize this WAPI
to suit my requirements. I might have to build this up as a seperate
transaction for use and ask the users to use this transaction for
maintaining substitutes. But if i need to do that i will have to suppress
the option of maintaining substitutes from SBWP. Is this possible? Thanks in
advance for any help.

Regards,
Prasath N
