2822726 - Multilevel material substitution chains in sales orders are not supported

Symptom

Material determination / material substitution is being used. In transaction VB11 the records are maintained so that material AAAA is substituted by material BBBB, and in turn material BBBB should be substituted with material CCCC.
When creating a sales order and adding material AAAA, the system is proposing material BBBB and not the end material CCCC as expected.
