Import container contains errors issue for Release Strategy workflow

Hello Experts,
I have copied the standard workflow WS20000075 for PO approval on Release step.
the copied workflow works fine in sandbox system, but in the test system I get an error saying 'import container contains errors (are any obligatory elements missing?)' I guess 'ReleaseCode' is not getting passed to the Workflow from the PO creation T-code.
I went thru few SCN post, did check all the Linkages as said, everything seems to be ok. but still cannot trigger the workflow.
need guidance as to where I may be going wrong.
Regards,
Jibran

Hi Jibran
If the WF is working in sandbox, it means that your definition, linkages etc are correct.
Please check if the following note is relevant for you or not:
1770720 - PO workflows run into error SFW_RUN594 - Import container contains errors
It's about correcting the settings in SWEC and SWE2 (correct for your custom workflow definition)
If not, then confirm with your MM consultant if the release strategy is configured correctly or not....take hints from the following SCN thread:

  • EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 -- user exit for release strategy

    Hi,
    This is regarding help on user exit for release strategy, ref: note no. 365604, however after going through all the config part given in the given note we activate the fm in cmod.... but after activating the release tab goes off from  me29n.
    That is after you activate in cmod and then if u create po and go to me29n the relese tab is not there.
    if u deactivate and create po and then relese the release tab in me29 would appear.
    All we are trying is that the po in me29n should be open to release again if we change the delivery date. However what coding and how is still a second step , first is as soon as the exit is active the tab goes off.
    New to user exit . plz help.

    Hi Again,
    I guess I have solved the issue temporarily, however Am not sure if this is the best which cld be doen to the issue.
    I didnt make any new characteristics in ct04, for the delivery dats since i didn't want to restrict the delivery date. All I did i yje coding below in the exit :
      DATA wa_eket TYPE LINE OF mmpur_beket.
      DATA wa_eket1 TYPE LINE OF mmpur_beket.
      data: c type i.
       data: p type i.
      break1.
      break2.
      e_cekko   = i_cekko.
    loop at it_beket into wa_eket . " for comparing previous and the current del date
      e_cekko-usrc1 = wa_eket-eindt.
      SELECT SINGLE * FROM eket INTO wa_eket1 WHERE ebeln = wa_eket-ebeln
      AND ebelp = wa_eket-ebelp.
      if wa_eket1-eindt <> wa_eket-eindt.
      import c from memory id 'CID'.
      c = c + 1.
      clear p.
      p = c mod 2.
      if p is not initial.             " adding 0.01 to the characteristic value for p.o amt.
      e_cekko-GNETW = e_cekko-GNETW + '0.01'.
      else.
      e_cekko-GNETW = e_cekko-GNETW - '0.01'.
      export c to memory id 'CID'.
      endif.
      endif.
      endloop.
    The logic I tried using is since the relese gets reset incase of p.o amnt and hence indirectly po amnt so i changed the value of p.o value by 0.01 incase of change in delivery date. cekok-gnetw doesnt reflect anywhere in the p.o as amnt, I guess its for defing range for relese stragey's amont in ct04 characteristics.
    However anything better incase u know plz let me know, or do u think this can cause any problems later....new to exits.
    Rgds,
    Anu.

  • Release Strategy/Workflow for MB21 Reservation

    Hello Gurus,
    I know as per Standard SAP it is not possible to have a release strategy/workflow for MB21, but if any of you have come across this requirement where material reservation should be approved by related dept heads before the material is issued for those reservations, please reply back with the possible options to configure release strategy or work flow for MB21 even thru development or any other work around.
    Your expertise advises will be very helpful for me to work around this requiremnt.
    Thanks in advance, looking forward for your reply

    Hi Anoop,
    Reservations in SAP is just a logical value, which does not have any impact on any stock type. It would be interesting to know why the business needs approval process for reservations.
    Anyways even if you need approval process, what you have to do is develop a custom object, where in when ever the business creates a MB21 reservation, assign a unique number to each reservation number.
    As a dept head, the business will run the ZMB21, checks the reservation to which he needs to approve. In the back groud call up the unqiue id assigned and place approve button where in dept head can approve the same.
    The authorization to this custom tcode should be given as per your requirement.
    Hope this helps

    Hello Arati,
    Please see that you have maintained the release strategy and the same is getting affected in the PO.
    In PO -> Header Data -> Release Strategy (Last Tab) please check the Release Strategy and Release Grp.
    Now go to T - Code /nPFAC .. and enter the ID as 90100005 (PO Approver) and click on display.
    After this on the new screen there are different tabs.. in that click on last (fourth) tab: Responsibilities.
    There you will find responsibilities IDs assigned to each release strategy and Release grp.. of you cant see the same please adjust the layout.
    once you get the responsisbilities ID there for the referenced Release Strategy and Release Grp then go to T - Code /nPP01.
    There you need to do the maping. in the first field it please enter Responsibility and second tab you can put the same responsibility ID whihc u obtained from /nPFAC.
    Then select on applications and then click on new.. n there you can assign the user as a approver. Please check that proper authorization si also given to a user who is mapped for the release strategy...
    Let me know if any confusion ...
    Thanks And Regards,

  • Customizing steps of workflow for Release strategy

    Hi Experts,
    Iam looking for step by step customizing details of workflow for Release Strategy for Purchase Requisition.
    I need necessary classification and Customizing settings for a release procedure in the purchase requisition to the workflow.
    I am looking for the steps, in which the purchase requisition can be edited straight from the workflow inbox.
    Regards
    Nani

    Hi Nani,
                First you have to confirm what kind of release it is in Purchase req you have Item level release and over all release.
    Item level release - WS00000038
    Over all Release - WS20000077
    Now please confirm with your MM consultant that he has done the release Strategy and tesed it Ok.
    Escecially things like assigning plant, Assigning Agents,Release codes and so on when everything is done by him in SPRO.
    Now your work starts If it is just release use the standard workflow.
    If they need additional notification mails and things like that copy the standard workflow and do the customization in the copied version and deactivate the standard workflow.
    You can also do dead line monitering (Factory Calander) and many more things.
    also please go through these 2 links you will get better idea.
