Workflow for PO Release Strategy

Hi all Workflow experts
We are on ECC 6.0. We have created a 3 level Rel strategy PO and are creating the workflow for this scenario.
The business object we are using is BUS2012 and WF Template is WS20000075.
Each time a PO is created/changed workitem will be sent order we have defined, ie. L1, L2,L3. Each time mail goes to the inbox of the concerned approver.
The problem is when the final approver cancels the release. Under activity 'Release of PO canceled, Task TS20000167 we have assigned the agent as Originator of PO. However at this instant mail does not go into the originator's mailbox.
Approver is cancelling the release in ME28 as it should be, I presume.
Are we missing something here? Is there any additional settings required to trigger the mail to the originator?
I would be happy if the responses from you all does not point to SAP .htm files! since I have already gone through them but it is very hard to understand some simple things!
Thanks in advance.

Raghu

All,
I gather that ver 4.7 onwards, SAP has supported the PO rejection/cancellation feature. Since I am working on client's server which is 4.6 c I am not able to implement this. Unfortunately, in the process of doing R&D within the sandbox I seem to have damaged the template WS000075. Now I am getting an error message at the first approval level saying "relase written to buffer".
Can anyone tell me what does this mean? Also is there a way to retrive the original template form the development clients?

  • Workflow for PO release strategy agent not found

    Hi all,
    I m beginner in the workflow. i  want to create a workflow for the PO. release strategy I have done all the settings in the SPRO for the release strategy. I have copied the standard workflow definition  WS20000075 also done the binding with object type BUS2012. in the steps 'Release of purchase order' i have mentioned the task TS20000166 i.e. 'Release of purchase order' and also maintain the AC Rule 20000027 i.e. 'Person responsible for PO release' for agents. But still its not getting the agents. the workflow is getting triggered but its not getting the agent. What else setting I need to do to get this done.
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards.

    Very well put Rick. In my case if i simulate this workflow from swdd transaction then it works fine but the same workflow when initiated from ME21N doesn't work and throws same error.
    1. I have copied standard workflow and task 166 is throwing error.
    "Resolution of rule AC20000027 for task TS20000166: no agent found"
    2. I have recreated the step but still the workflow is throwing error.
    3. If I execute the rule individually (PFAC_DIS) with a specific PO then the rule works fine. The rule executes the below mentioned exit successfully.
    4. I am using exit to determine the agent, the workflow works fine if I don't use the exit. The exit is EXIT_SAPLEBNF_005. I am just pulling the agent from a ztable.
    Please advise if you can help as I have not seen anyone answering.
    by the way irrespective of the explicit rule update in the workflow the step executes AC20000027 by default.
    Any help on above is appreciated.

    I suppose, you are using the workflow WS20000075. Add sending email as an additional task to the same workflow in SWDD.

    I have configured workflow for PO release.Now through work item if I am deleting a line item of the PO such that PO is capturing new release strategy due to change in PO value then workflow does not gets re-triggered again as per new release strategy.How can I achieve this?
    Edited by: satish kumar on Apr 18, 2009 9:13 AM

    Hi,
    For Creation it working fine right, i.e. Event triggering fine
    1) After Changing the PO, save it
    2) And tell functional consultant, whether they configure for the settings for PO change in SPRO

  • Fields suitable for PO release strategy

    Hi,
    I had worked with the PO release strategy in which a characteristic is created with the fields BSART ( Order type ), WERKS ( Plant ), Value ( GNETW ), EKORG ( Purchasing group )
    Other than these fields what are the list of fields over which we can have a control through the release strategy.
    Pl expedite.
    RD

    Hello,
    Please check the documentation for the activity 'Edit Characteristic' in the IMG:
    [...] Requirements
    In communication structure CEKKO you will find all the fields that can be used as characteristics for a release condition (e.g. BSART for the order type and GNETW for the total order value).
    Check which fields you wish to use as characteristics for your release strategy. To do so, choose Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Development -> Dictionary, enter CEKKO in the field Database table, and choose "Display".
    Note
    If you wish to define a separate release strategy for the various document categories (PO, RFQ, etc.), you must create a characteristic for each relevant document category.
    So theoretically one can use any field from CEKKO.
    For the workflow, customisation is linked to release strategies and codes, not directly with the classification fields.

    Michal

  • How to have more than 8 release code for a release strategy

    Hi,
    In standard only 8 level of release is possible for a release strategy.  Our client requires more than 8 levels i.e., more than 8 release codes for a release strategy.  How can we achieve this?
    Pls provide your views/ideas.
    Reards,

    Hello,
    In case you require more than 8 levels in release strategy , write to SAP, maybe they could give a fitting reply.
    By the way , 8 levels of release should be more than enough . Try to incorporate the client business process
    within this.

  • User exit for triggering release strategy

    Hello Experts,
    My requirement is when changes are made in purchase order (ME22N) then once again release strategy will have to get trigger.
    is the user exits exists for this purpose,if yes, What is it?. I searched alot but not able to find right exits.

    Hello ,
    I think you can achieve this via configuration .Basically you want the release strategy to get redetermined based on the changes in the item or if the price of these items increase a certain level .if you  have the release startegy as changeble in the SPRO ticked it will automatically go for new release strategy if you have the value of release indicator set .This can be done SPRO->MM->Purchase order->Release procedure for purchase order->Define release procedure->Release indicator.
    Set  the appropriate value  .
    Remember you need to know what is that it retrigger that release strategy .
    The link below deals with similar requirement ....

  • Standard Workflow for PR Release Multi-level

    Good day,
    I have a multi-level PR release strategy connected to workflow and using exit M06B0001
    Structure is as follows
    Release Codes:
    A1 - first level
    A2 - first level (back-up)
    B1 - second level
    B2 - second level (back-up)
    Objective: (upon creation of PR, Release Indicator = 0)
    1. Notification Workflow to A1 and A2 for releasing
    2. A1 or A2 releases PR. Release Indicator = 1 (for 2nd level)
    3. Notification Workflow to B1 and B2 for releasing
    4. B1 or B2 releases PR. Release Indicator = 2 (for PO processing)
    #1 and #2 works. But does not proceed to 3 and 4. Return message after A1 or A2 release is "PR XXX Released".
    How to solve this?

    Hi RIck/Ragavendran,
    Thanks for the response.
    Am not using value as indicator for level. This is all under one release strategy.
    A1 or A2 should release in order for B1 or B2 to proceed. Once any combination between A1/A2 and B1/B2 would result in PR fully released.
    I've tried both scenarios of using and not using pre-requisites in my configuration. Both resulting the same.

  • Workflow - Purchase order Release strategy

    Hi All,
    Good Morning
    I had created workflow for Purchase order release strategy with steps(To Determine Agents, Release of Purchase order, Release of PO effected) and in Me21N I created PO and PO came to my SAP inbox(SBWP) and I released that PO and saved it.
    but My problem is after releasing PO when I checked my Inbox again still that PO is sitting there, it is supposed to disappear from there
    Can anyone please assist me to resolve this issue .
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    In standard SAP workflow, SAP is sending a mail item (notification) to SAP mail inbox. There is no action is required from there. So mail will remain their as mark as read. If you want to remove it than one needs to delete it from respective mail box.
    Best Regards,
