Regarding releasing procedure for p.o.

hi sapgurus,
the configuration for p.o. release procedure is working perfectly but whenever i go to me29n or me28 i am getting two step release procedure but in industry if the manager has given excess to me29n/me28 then himslef ca release the p.o by means of clicking both release steps, that means without general manager review the manager can release the p.o by means of clicking both. hence i am willing to restricate each user's acess to other stepd release procedure.
examaple
in me29n/me28 :-
1) manager.
2) general manager.
in this case i want the manager to click on his resepctive release step and should not allow to acess the general manager's relase step's.
thanking you
praveer

hi,
please visit
www.sap123.com

How to configure release procedure for rate contracts release

Dear all,
How to configure release procedure for rate contract following are the requirements
they are two release codes c1 & c2 <=100000,>=100000
                if c1 is not there c2 has to be approved
     Change in the value of the rate contract contract
     Change in the validity of the rate contract
     Addition of deletion of line items
While using a non u2013 released rate contract in the PO an error message should shoot out.
Also the logic should be changed while using the rate contract in the PO.
The usage of the rate contract should be till the validity of the rate contract. i.e. the measurement should be end date of the rate contract and the PO creation date and not the delivery date of the PO. &
It should be possible to refer existing valid rate contracts in purchase orders.

Hi,
In SAP rate contract is known as value contract denoted with wk. The release procedure for rate contract is same as that of other contracts and scheduling agreements. The tables for contracts will vary with SA (Scheduling agreement) .You may try and maintain condition records based on the customer combination and maintian the validity date of condition records as per your requirement.For contract and PO will have the same header/item table as EKKO/EKPO, and the release
class in standard is the same FRG_EKKO, you can use the same for contract.
To distinguish if it's a contract or PO, EKKO-BSART can be used.
For contract EKKO-BSART will be MK or WK, while PO will have NB/UB etc..
You can restrict the document type to set up the release strategy for only contract.
Of cause, you can also create your own release class Z* for contract copying standard
one FRG_EKKO via CL01/Class type 032, and then assign the class Z* to customizing:
OLME:
-> contract
->Release Procedure for Contracts
->Define Release Procedure for Contracts
->Release Groups
If you have already created the PO release class.
Assign a new chracteristic of Document Category -BSTYP
Please check below link for detailed release procedure. I hope this wil help you out .Thanking you.

Release Procedure For Contract

Dear Gurus,
I have created a release procedure for Purchase Order.Now i created a Contract , it also asking for release.I dont know y its happening??
Is ter any link between Po release and Contract Release??
Plz Explain ....
Thanks in advance...........

Hi,
Whatever document types you give in release procedure will undergo Approval process.
Since you have given MK & WK, your contract has been blocked for release. Unless it is released, it cannot be used for further transactions, say creation of PO.
Tcode to release contract is ME35K.
Release it using your release group & release codes, Afterwhich you will be able to create PO with contract reference.
If you donot want contract to undergo release procedure, please do not mention WK or MK in values for doc characteristics. Give the document type of PO alone. Say NB (standard PO)

Release Procedure for Quantity Contract

Dear All,
We have a business requirement to ensure that Quantity Contracts are released by the Account Receivable Accountant before the Sales Support Staff can create Sales Orders against them.
Process : Create Quantity Contract (VA41) -> Release Contract (VKM3)->Create Sales Order (VA01)
Currently, users can create sales order against the quantity contract before the contract has been released.
I need guidance on how to implement system control to prevent this creation of Sales Orders before Quantity Contracts are released..
How can i configure release procedure for quantity contract?
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hi
There is a concept of User Status / Status Management in SAP. By using this you can set status as default that is Blocked, and then the authorised person can release the document, only after that a person can create an Order, with reference to that Contract.
The Customisation setting is in :- IMG> sales and Distribution>Sales > Sales Document>Define and assign User Profile(T Code is BS02)
To know more about this you can search the Forum, also check the below given Link:-

Define Release Procedure for Contracts in RE-FX

Hi Gurus!
I´d like to implement the release procedure for contracts in RE-FX similar at the MM module? Is it possible?
I didn´t find in RE-FX.
Thanks,
Brunoro

Hi Brunoro,
To the extent I am aware in REM exact release process is not available. Instead you can control the Creation/Activation of contract by resticting access to activity 01/07 (respectively) in your seperate roles (with the help of Basis team).
The person authoriosed for Activity 01 will not be authorised for activity 07. And communication between two users can be chanelled via worklist.

But when i create a PO & try to release it in ME29N it says 'Purchasing Doc. cannot be released"
The same release procedure was working fine few days back.
Kindly let me know if i have missed out some steps or someother settings need to be made.

Release Procedure for PO in two currencies

Hi
I have to create PO release procedure for PO for Two Currencies based on the below characteristics
1.Company code
2.Document type
3.Purchasing group
4.Net order value in both INR and USD
Can Any body help me
I tried but the system is not triggering release procedure

Hi,
Maintain class as follows
CEKKO_GNETW=Total net order value,Data type-CURR,Number of chars-15,Decimal places-2,Unit-INR
If you have maintain exchange rate in PO under delivery/Invoice tab then system will auto triggering release strategy as per maintain value in release strategy,
Normally document currency is converted into company code currency and company code currency is converted into characteristic currency
If your company code currency is INR , then any foreign currency PO shall be appropriately converted internally by the system(based on the currency converstion setting ) and this is applicable on which the specific release strategy will be applied.
Please also refer SAP note 493900 for system behaviour.
Refer Question no.13 in SAP note-493900
How is the currency converted?
Answer :
The header currency is converted to local currency (company code currency) and then the local currency is converted to the characteristic currency.

MM - ML81N, Release Procedure for service entry sheet

Hi Gurus,
I would like to active the realease strategy for service.
in order to customize I set:
-Relase Groups
-Release Codes
-Release indicator
-Release startegues
Then I run ML81N TRX and I called a sheet to try. This sheet had to has done to one of the release strategy set...
on the menu (of this trx ML81N)Entry Sheet->Set Status->Release (is still turn off)
Where is the problem?, anybody could help me?
Tks in advance,
Nacho

Hi,
please read the FAQ note 672719, question 5:
Setting up a release procedure is explained in the following short
example: All service entry sheets with material group 007 are supposed
to be subject to a release strategy. This release strategy requires that
the service entry sheets must be released with release code A1. Only the
cost center manager has the authorization for release code A1.
A) Create a characteristic for the material group:
o Call Transaction CT04. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:
       Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master
       Data -> Characteristics)
o Specify a name for the characteristic, for example CESSR_MATKL,
       and choose the 'Create' pushbutton.
o On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter a description and keep the
       'Released' status.
o On the 'Addnl data' tab page, enter table name CESSR and field
       name MATKL (Material group).
o Enter class type 032 (Release strategy) on the 'Restrictions' tab
       page and then save the characteristic.
Note: The release strategy must be based on a field of structure CESSR.
Using Transaction SE11, you can display which other fields are available
in addition to the material group (field MATKL).
B) Create a class to which you assign the characteristic:
o Call Transaction CL02. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:
       Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master
       Data -> Classes)
o Enter a class name, for example FRG_ESSR, and class type 032 (for
       release strategy) and then choose the 'Create' pushbutton.
o On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter any name. (Keep the
       'Released' status.)
o Enter characteristic CESSR_MATKL on the 'Char.' tab page and then
       save the class.
C) Now carry out the required Customizing settings. Follow IMG path
(Transaction SPRO) 'Materials Management -> External Services Management
Seite 4
-> Define Release Procedures for Service Entry Sheet'
o At first, you must create a release group (for example 03). For
       that, choose 'Release Groups', then choose 'New Entries', enter
       'Rel. Group' = 03 and 'Class' = FRG_ESSR. Save the entry. The
       system automatically determines value 3 (for entry of services
       performed) for the release object.
o Now create release code A1 for release group 03. Choose 'New
       Entries' and specify the following values: Grp = 03, Code = A1,
       and description, for example cost center manager.
o Create two release indicators, for example A and B. Select the
       'Released' field for release indicator B and save the entries.
       (Note: A release strategy must at least contain two release
       indicators. The first indicator (here A) must be defined as
       locked, the last indicator as released. Furthermore, the general
       changeability of the service entry sheet and the behavior for
       value changes are defined via the release indicators.)
o Finally create the release strategy. Choose 'New Entries' and
       specify the following values: Release group = 03, release
       strategy, for example RS, release codes = A1. Assign the two
       release indicators A and B via 'Release statuses'. Assign
       material group 007 via 'Classification'. Save the release
       strategy.
D) Assign the authorization for release code A1 and release group 03 to
the cost center manager. In role maintenance (Transaction PFCG), you can
for example use the default values for Transaction ML85 for that.

Release procedure for Purch Org at each plant level different release Proce

Hi gurus,
1.What is the difference b/w Centralized purchasing organization and Decentralized organization?
2.How to maintain the Release procedure for Purch Org at each plant level different release Procedure or Release codes?
Regards,
Hariprasad

Hi,
The solution for your second question is as follows.
1. go to spro- material managment -purchasing -POrelease prcedure for po--- define release procedure.
2. Create release grp, release codes & release indicators. Assign release codes to release grp.
3. Create release strategies.In the release strategies in classification define one of the characteristics as purchase organzation & the other as plant and define the values. You may put other parameters as per your requirements.

Error in Release procedure for PO

Hi
I have created a release procedure for Purchase groups and plants. But now I want to add a new Purchasing group to the same strategy. How to do this.

Hi Garapati,
Release strategy is configuration in customisation screen. Do not merely do assignment of object via CL20N or CL24N. Though assigning the object would work, but is better to do it in customisation.
Go to this path: -
SPRO>IMG>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order (Execute)-->Release Strategies
Go to: Position>Identify the Group> Identify the Release Strategy code
(How to know what is the release strategy code? In the PO where a release strategy for this value and characteristic is triggered, you can go to the Header-->Release Strategy tab, you would be able to see that the release strategy is triggered. Simply remember the release strategy code. If you already know the code, ignore this step)
When the search is complete and located the right release strategy that you want to amend, select it and click on Details.
Inside, go to Classification. Check that this release strategy contain the characteristic that you want to amend. You would be able to see the Characteristic "Purchasing Group" already maintained. Click on Purchasing Group line and click on "Add rows" icon below, then key in the the Purchasing Group value that you want to add.
Hit Back, and then Save this customisation.
Now, the PO release strategy will trigger the Purchasing Group you just added if the PO details entered matched the Purchasing Group, Plant and Document Type value that you maintained for this release strategy.
Hope this helps.
Rgds.

With classification release procedure for PO

Dear Experts ,
here one issue is with classification release procedure for PO
when I create characteristics
in Additional data
table name :-- Cekko field name :-- match code
enter
click all sec charars then which block I select to go next screen
and fill name is right or ?
please help me

hi,
in additional data field you have to give the field name of characteristic you are maintaining. like if you want to maintain characteristic as document type of the PO then we have to give the field name for document type mentioned in table CEKKO i.e. BSART.
then you have to do the value assignment. here you have to tick the check box for "NOT READY FOR INPUT".
