PR release strategy reset after change in quantity/inclusion of line item

If a user adds a line item or increases the quantity of an existing line item to a fully released purcahse requisition, then the system does not render the PR for reapproval. Is there any way to configure SAP such that the release strategy resets if any of the above changes are made in a fully approved PR?

Hi,
the release strategy will ONLY be reset if one of the fields that are contained in your classification are changed.
For example
If you strategy is determined by Plant and value, if the plant or value doesn't change then the release strategy will not be affected.
So if you change qty and do not change value then the release strategy will not be reset. This is a basic limitation of the design.
But if you ARE changing one of the characteristic values of your strategy and you are saying that the release strategy is not being reset, then something else is wrong.

Release strategy: problems after changing the price

HI Experts,
I have the follwing problem.
I´ve setup the release strategy for Purchase reqs.
The strategy includes 3 approval levels.
release indicator with changeability 4 and a value of 0,1% for the first two approval levels.
I´m able to release it, but if I release the first two appoval levels and change the Preq the release strategy goes back to the first level. Fine.
But the problem is now that I´m able to release the first level but if I try to release the second one I get a error message.
I guess the problem is the changeability - but how can I solve this issue?
The system have the cancel all approvals if someone changes the price.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alex

HI RJ,
the exact message is "Release prerequisite not fulfilled".
The system should act in the following way:
Approval levels:
1. Supervisor
2. Manager
3. General Manager
1 and 2 is approved.
Then the requisitioner changes the price.
Release will be changeled (Releases already effected will be cancelled).
OK that work, now the release process starts with level 1.
1. Approved --> OK
2- try to approve and get the message "Release prerequisite not fulfilled".
1 and 2 have the same release indicator with 4 and 0,1%.
Thanks
Alex

PO release strategy is not triggering if Quantity pre.Qty

Standard SAP design will trigger the 'PO release strategy' if Total net order value (GNETW) is more than set. Lets take if PO created with Qty 100 and Price 50 then first time 'PO release strategy' is triggering when you save the PO. Next time when you change Qty less than the previous value like 80 from 100 then 'PO release strategy' is not triggering but if you enter more than previous value as 120 then its triggering. Ofcourse it makes sense but our user wants to trigger if any changes happened to QTY or PRICE. Is there anyway to trigger?
Found user exit - EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 but not sure what needs to be changed. Can one let me know the solution, if you have any.

Hi.
According to note 493900, question 4, release strategy is reset only
for some specific case. Alternatively, please question 5 from this note
release strategy might be redetermined. However in order to determine a
new release strategy the field that is changed in PO must be included
as one of the fields in the strategy. Thus there is no standard way
for resetting/redermining release strategy for a change of e.g. text
on header or item level.

Changing the quantity of Schedule line for an product runtime

Hi CRM friends,
When I am saving the Order after changing the quantity (say from <b>5 to 10</b>); Now base on some conditions, quantity must be reverted back to the original quantity (i.e to 5). This has to be done while saving the order in a Call back function module. I have the following parameters:
1. Item Guid
2. Old Value (i.e 5)
3. Header Guid
I have tried using FM CRM_SCHEDLIN_I_MAINTAIN_OW using the following code:
DATA: LS_FIELDS TYPE CRMT_INPUT_FIELD,
LT_FIELDS TYPE CRMT_INPUT_FIELD_TAB,
LS_QTY TYPE CRMT_SCHEDLIN_EXTD,
LS_SCHEDLIN TYPE CRMT_SCHEDLIN_I_COM,
LT_SCHEDLIN TYPE CRMT_SCHEDLIN_I_COMT.
LS_FIELD_NAMES-FIELDNAME = 'QUANTITY'.
LS_FIELD_NAMES-CHANGEABLE = 'X'.
INSERT LS_FIELD_NAMES INTO TABLE LS_FIELDS-FIELD_NAMES.
LS_FIELDS-REF_HANDLE = 1.
LS_FIELDS-REF_GUID = IV_OBJECT_GUID. A88DE289D91D464C81052646DB6856BB
LS_FIELDS-REF_KIND = 'B'.
LS_FIELDS-OBJECTNAME = 'SCHEDLIN_I'.
INSERT LS_FIELDS INTO TABLE LT_FIELDS.
LS_QTY-GUID = ls_schedlin_i_new-GUID. A88DE289D91D464C81052646DB6856BB / 1D72D133BF86FC4F81BC8F0F88438136(From table CRMD_SCHEDLIN passing the item guid )
LS_QTY-ITEM_GUID = IV_OBJECT_GUID. A88DE289D91D464C81052646DB6856BB
LS_QTY-QUANTITY = lV_OLD_ORDER_QTY.
LS_QTY-MODE = 'B'.
LS_QTY-EVENT_TYPE_APPL = 'CRMS'.
LS_QTY-EVENT_TYPE = 'ORDER'.
LS_QTY-SCHED_NO_EXT = '0001'.
LS_SCHEDLIN-REF_GUID = IV_OBJECT_GUID.
LS_SCHEDLIN-REF_HANDLE = 1.
LS_SCHEDLIN-MODE = 'B'.
INSERT LS_QTY INTO TABLE LS_SCHEDLIN-SCHEDLINES.
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_SCHEDLIN_I_MAINTAIN_OW'
CHANGING
CS_SCHEDLIN_I_COM = LS_SCHEDLIN
CT_INPUT_FIELDS = LT_FIELDS.
The code is executing fine, but the quantity changes to new one (i.e. <b>10</b>) Please tell me whether there is a mistake in passing the parameters. For LS_QTY-guid I have tried passing with item guid as well as schedule line guid from the table CRMD_SCHEDLIN.
Also tell me there is any other way.
Regards
Naveen.

Changing the default view for Line Items in an Auction.

Hello All,
We have a version 5 client who is asking for us to change the default view for line items in an auction.
Currently, if you have an auction setup, and you go to the Line Items tab, the default view is the "Basic View". The client would like to change the Default from "basic view" to "price view".
Is there a way to change this default in the system? Can this be configured using query groups? Any information would be helpful.

Hi wood cloud,
This is not possible, bcz there is no VLV for that drop down and we cant set it to the price view.
Thanks,
Ankur Goyal

How to change the amount of Vendor Line Item in FB60

Hi all,
I want to post the invoice in SAP with FB60. The journal is as follow:
Dr. Expense    1000 USD
Dr. VAT-Input    100 USD
      Cr. Account Payable     1100 USD
But the problem, the amount of Account payable is 1000 USD. Because I want to fill the amount in vendor line item (FB60) with the original expense (1000 USD).
I want to ask, there is any configuration in SAP to change the amount in vendor line item which it could be the same with amount of the original expense.
If you ever have same problems, plase share with me
Thanks,
John

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The result of posting invoice that I want is as follow:
Dr. Expense    1000 USD
Dr. Vat - Input    100 USD
Cr. Account Payable   1100 USD
When posting invoices in FB60, there is a filed "amount vendor line item" at the top. Usually the field is filled with amount vendor 1100 USD, but I want to fill it with the expense amount (1000 USD). Which can be show the account payable 1100 USD.
Is there any configuration to change the field "amount vendor line item" ?
Thanks,

Material Quantity difference document line item for HU

Dear Experts,
When I try to clear differences in LI21, i get the error message as above.
Error Message : 'Material Quantity difference document line item for HU'
Any idea why this error occurs?
Regards,
Shetty

Hello Shetty,
It may be due to some stock inconsistency. You may try iin case of a non HU managed storage location HU to run LX23 and it can fix discrepancy overwrting MM-IM with LE-WM data. But if it is a HU managed then you can run HUDIFF transaction but only to see if there is stock differences not to fix anything, usually SAP Support (Development Support) does that job.
Have a nice day !!

Price is not changing in sales order in line item

dear all.,
price is not changing in sales order on line item,error comes "CHECK ORDER STRUCTURE.
Regards,
Praveen

Dear
You can go into VA03 --> Menu --> Environment --> Partner --> display credit account (if the data is maintained, than the system springs into FD33). Another way is to check if the sales order type is assigned to credit management in the transaction OVAK (should be D for aut. credit management).
Did you enter the pricing date , prcing condition and press enter , so that it should pick the correct price?
Check this and come back

Reset Release Strategy for any change in the Purchase Order

Hi,
Is it possible in SAP standards to reset release strategy for even minor changes in the Purchase Order irrespective of whether it is value change or any change in the text or Purchasing group change or whatever it is?
If so, where do we need to make the configurations.
I have seen in some thread about resetting the release strategy for decrease in Purchase Order value.Even that was possible through some BAPI.
Thanks in Advance.
S.Raghavan

hi sandesh,
sorry, i know it's too late.

sandesh, raghavan:
i need to reset the strategies after to make any change in the po. i'll appreciate your help if you can give it.

Release Strategy - Reset

Dear Team,
My purchase order / PR release strategy should be reset, due to following reasons.
1. Any changes in Item Text / Header Text
2. Any changes in PVC / LD clauses & Base dates
3. Any changes in Retention / Advance %
4. Changes in Delivery Date
Could any one pl suggest on this and how to do it.
Thanks & Regards,
R.Saravanan

Hi,
Put proper release indicator against the release group .
You can set a control within Config. there is a parameter called as release indicator.
Follow this IMG path:
SPRO> Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Release indicator
1 Cannot be changed
2 Changeable, no new determination of strategy
3 Changeable, new release in case of new strategy
4 Changeable, new release in case of new strat. or val. change
5 Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted
6 Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/outputted
Changeable, new release in case of new strategy
Changeability of purchasing document during/after release which means how the system reacts if an internal or external purchasing document is changed after the start of the release procedure.
Note that the values 1 to 4 apply to internal purchasing documents (purchase requisitions) and the values 1 bis6 to external purchasing documents.
So you would need to set this Indicator for the specific release Id. which specifies whether the purchasing document can be processed in or is blocked for follow-on functions.

Release Strategy for New & Change PO's - Using characteristic CEKKO-REVNO

Hi All,
I have the following requirement/scenario
1. If PO is created manually no reference to PR, then the PO needs to be approved through a release strategy.
2. If the PO has been created automatically either from a req or through SRM (for,eg) then the PO needs to be approved only if this PO has been changed. So this would need to go through a second release strategy.
To distinguish between the two, we are using Version number field CEKKO-REVNO in the communication structure CEKKO to be a characteristic in the release strategy.
This is what I hoped for would work after doing the necessary config,
For create PO's, in my classification I have CEKKO-REVNO as >=0. So any PO whose version number is >=0, will trigger relase strategy S1 (for e,g).
For change PO's in my classification I have CEKKO-REVNO > 0 And whenever you change PO, it will generate versions 1,2,3 and so on, and hence the release strategy will trigger.
The problem
Whenever I use CEKKO-REVNO as one of my characteristics, the release strategy is not triggered at all no matter what the conditions are on the PO. When i removed the REVNO from my classification, release strategy is getting triggered as per plan. I have also activated version management and done all the necessary config. I would like to know why release strategy is not getting triggered when REVNO field is used from communication structure CEKKO. Have any of you experienced this issue before??
Is their any other identifier I can use to address the requirement above? Let me know.
Thanks
Ashvin

Thanks Charlie for your response.
The conditions in the PO is not equal.
On one occasion when I create the PO, I have given the classification as REVNO >=0 with a document type ZB for create (S1). So when I create the PO manually, the version starts with 0, so condition should satisfy here
On the other when I change the PO (with/without reference to PR), I have given the classification as REVNO as > 0 with document type ZC (S2), so when the PO is created initially it will not satisfy strategy S1 as doc type is different for S1. When I change the PO created with ref to req, S2 should take into effect because when i change the version will change to 1 and S2 should trigger because REVNO is > 0 and doc type matches.
So I dont know where the release strategy matches in both S1 & S2 for the system to not propose the release startegy.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for your feedback.

PO release strategy ONLY for change

I have a requirement to only have a release strategy for a purchase order only when it is changed
The problem is that even if I can disable the event to be triggered when created, the release strategy is written down to the EKKO-table when the PO is created meaning that the purchase order still needs to be released before being used for example in MIRO.
How can I avoid having the release strategy written to the EKKO-table when the PO is created?
How can I have it written to the EKKO-table when it is changed?
Good answers will ofcourse be rewarded with points!
Edited by: Snowroller on Feb 11, 2012 4:00 PM

Dear,
Check this and try. Not tested.
Set up Version management for Purchase order and keep all relevant fields of PO relevant for version change.
Add charaecteristics PO_Version value as 00000001. So, When you create PO the version will be 0 so no release strategy. Whenever relevant fields changes the version changes to 0 to 1 and release strategy triggers.
Try this option.

Syed Hussain.
Forget to mention please search with 'PO release strategy based on Version Management in SAP' you will get many SDN posts.

Invoicing Party - Release strategy reset

Goodmorning.
In a PO already approved, if I fill in the Invoicing Party (IP) in tab PARTNERS, the Release Strategy will be reset and start again from the beginning. Why?
Thanks for your reply.
Fabio

Hi Bob,
this is the first time I use this forum so I apologize if I'm in the wrong one.
I explain what I did this morning.
I have a Purchase Order already approved but I will receive the invoice from a partner different from the vendor. I forgot to put this information in the PO.
I enter in transaction ME22N (Modify Purchase Order), I select tab "Partner" in the Header and I add function PI (Invoicing Party).
When I save the PO the release strategy starts from the beginning, it will be reset. I don't understand why.
If I'm in the wrong forum, could you please indicate me the right one?
Thank you very much.
Fabio
