Block PR Release for Creator of PR

Hi All,
I have a simple requirement to popup an error message when the person who is going to release the PR in TCODE ME54N is the creator of the PR itself.
In short it it suppose to prevent the creator of the PR from releasing his own PR.
I know there are a few enhancement that is available but I am not too sure which one to use. I know I can set breakpoint but still not too sure what it does and how to code it.
Thanks
David

hi,
Firstly, check that whether the PR is release relevent..if yes, then check for the release codes assign for a particular Authorization...
If not, then check whether the PR is completely filled or not...check whether there is any remaining field which is relevent for the PR completion...
Before saving the document, check whether there is any system message...
If you dont know the release codes then check with the BASIS consultant...

Thank you.

We sent the purchase order for the new license to Oracle on last Friday

can we still move forward with deployment activity and later specify the CSI
or would that stop us suring the install process if we don't have yet the CSI ?
Are you asking from a technical or legal standpoint?
If technical, do you see anything in the installation instructions that mention entering license information? What happens if you try to go ahead and install? What could be the worst that could happen?

Release for blocked invoices (Ref: Q4-6)

Dear Sirs,
After executing the u201CRelease for blocked invoicesu201D using transaction MRBR, the u201CManual Blocku201D indicator can be released in Invoice Header u2013 Payment tab. However, the indicator was still checked in Invoice Item(s). Even if I created an Invoice by setting the u201CManual Blocku201D in items only, the indicator was still checked after executing the u201CRelease for blocked invoicesu201D. Is it normal for the standard system ?
Tks,
KH Fong

Dear Sirs,
Thanks for your reply.
Does it mean that theu201CManual Blocku201D indicator is still checked for the Item(s) even if I have executed theu201CRelease for blocked invoicesu201D using transaction MRBR ? (No matter the u201CManual Blocku201D indicator is set for both Header & Item(s), or just set for Item(s) only in the Invoice)
Does it mean that the whole Invoice can be released for payment even if theu201CManual Blocku201D indicator is still checked for the Item(s) after executing the MRBR ?
Does it mean that setting theu201CManual Blocku201D indicator at Header Level is enough if I would like to block the whole Invoice ?
Tks,

Credit Block Release for 24 Hours

Dear SD Experts,
Our Customer requirement is like this:
"Automatic Blocking of customers based on the Credit Limit and Manual Release for a limited period of desired customers". The limited period may be 24 Hours which means if we release a particular customer, then the smae should be automatically blocked again after 24 hours. By doing this, Customer want to control both the credit situation as well as inventory situation.
Is there any way to address this.
I proposed them to have Automatic Credit Block for that Sales order and Change the Sales order line item status so that the MRP Requirement will get cancelled automatically. After 24 Hours, if they want to release the Customer, then release the Sales order block(Credit Block) and also change the Sales order line item status(So that it will trigger MRP). But the Customer is not happy.
I have not faced this type of issue..
Share your valuable suggestions and correct me if my approach is wrong.
Best Regards
Khushi.R

Hi Khushi,
These kind of sollutions can be handled with some advaced technology like CRM, for that you have to implement CRM module and CRM module consultant will handle very effectively.
Kindly do not allow your client to have much developments in SD as it will be main cause for system crash.

To block subsequent funtion for Delivery

Hi Experts
We dont screen Purchase orders for SPL or Legal control.but we want to use legal control for outbound delivery for returns to vendor.We have done all the configurations to block subsequent functions for this outbound delivery type.
When i create outbound delivery for returns po delivery gets blocked in GTS and shows in audit log the missing liscence
but when i try to create TO for this delivery it allow me to do the same & when i confirm the TO audit log also changes & it shows status of delivery green & dispaly messege item is not relevant for checking ..
Has anybody experianced this issue ? what may be the reason?
Thanks,
K Anand

Hello Anand,
Yes, its a bit tricky situation. The original document gets blocked but subsequent documents a output types still can be executed.
I would need to know more about the configuration:
"We have done all the configurations to block subsequent functions for this outbound delivery type."
I would suggest to special "delivery block" to be customized which will block automatically all output types. Lets say delivery block "99-Political reason" which will be automatically set when RFC calls GTS and it finds the delivery as blocked.
When the delivery is released is GTS it would need to be automatically released in ERP as well. Means the block needs to be removed.
You would need to implement suppressing logic when saving the document. (SAVE_DOCUMENT).
Hope this helps,
BR,
Gabriel.

Updates for Creator 1

Hi Creator Team:
Are we going to see a new set of updates for Creator 1? Its been 6 months and lots of bugs reported since Update 7

I find this response quite distrubing for a number of reasons.
1] Many of us are committed to Creator 1 for a product lifecycle. Bugs in the JSF framwork (such as unclosed rowsets etc.) place our projects at significant risk.
2] There is no "smooth transistion" to Creator 2 as existing pages cannot be upgraded and therefore, exising Creator 1 bugs remain in the framework.
3] Creator 2 is not available and no release date has been set.
4] There are significant architecture changes in Creator 2's framework which are not compatible with Creator 1.
I don't know about the rest of the community but I find Sun's abandonment of Creator 1 extremely annoying, shortsighted and insulting to those of us who have supported Sun. I am now considering moving our application off the platform and onto more dependable technology managed by a company with more sensitivity to those who, in retrospect, mistakenly, choose to rely on Sun.
Thank you Creator Team!!!!

Standard SAP Report - Payments blocked and released

Hi Experts,
We are having a requirement where the payment will be blocked for the invoices generated through Invoicing Plan.
But we need a report " To know the status of payments blocked and released according to the invoicing plan". Do we have any standard SAP report on this requirement?

Block and release vendors at different level

Hi experts,
I'm working on a workflow who can block and release vendor after creation or modification. The problem is that I want block, first, the vendor for purchase and after, for the payment.
So I need two level of validation : the first for purchasing and the second for finance. So I need to create one event with the transaction MK01 or MK02 and after the validation I have to call the transaction FK01 or FK02.
I use the BOR LFA1 with specific method to block and release one of this views (purchase or financial) but when a vendor is saved, there is no distinction between the purchase view and the financial view. I can not distinguish the transaction who call the event.
So if there is someone who can help me quickly, it will be great!
Thank you
Benjamin

Thank you for the help.
Regarding the event condition in SWEC, it doesn't correspond to my situation so I will try the FM but I don't really how to do : I mean which condition I can put, or which action I can put for check the transaction.
The thing is that I'm not really good in FM cause I'm more functional.
So if someone could help me on the code to check transaction before block a vendor, it could be great.
Thank You

Conditional where, or PL/SQL block as source for an interactive report?

I have this situation: The main screen of my application shows a list of documents. For now, there has to be a quick "security" built in, so administrators can see all documents, but other users can only see the documents they created (login of creator is stored in the documents table). In the future we'll probably use VPD's to enforce some rules, but for now we need a quick solution.
So i stored the administrators in a seperate table. Now i want the interactive report on the main page act as follows:
- If an admin is logged in, it has to have this query: select field 1, field 2, field 3 from documents
- For all other users: select field 1, field 2, field 3 from documents where creator = :app_user
Is this possible in one interactive report? I could make two reports with the different queries and make them conditional according to who is logged in, but this gives me two interactive reports to maintain. Is it possible to use a PL/SQL block as source for the report? I tried, but I get syntax errors. Is it possible to make the where clause conditional on some way?

Hi,
Install Demonstration application to your workspace:
Home>Create Application and select Demonstration Application.
Check page 1 interactive report. That should give idea how you do it.

Can't use Overall Release for Purchase Requisitions

I have two groups, AA and ZZ. Each group has it's own Class.
Group AA uses Cost Center Class (CN) (uses Characteristics Cost Center and Line Amount)
Group ZZ uses Order Class (OC) (uses Characteristic Order)
I have built one and only one Release Strategy for each of these Groups. These Strategies both work successfully when I select the other group to be the group for Overall Release. That is, if I set ZZ to be for Overall Release, then create a requisition, the release strategy for Group AA is applied successfully. However, if I modify the req the strategy for ZZ, does not get applied.
The opposite is true. When AA is set to be for Overall release, then ZZ works. However, if I modify the req, then AA's release strategy does not get applied.
Again, both strategies work correctly when the other Group is set to be the one to use for Overall Release. However, neither strategy works if its group is set to be the one for Overall Release.
What am I missing? I only have two classes, two groups, and two release strategies.

SAP Standard system allows only 8 levels of release codes.If client requirement is more than 8 then for excess release codes customisation is done by the technical team (Abapers).Lets take an example of 15 release levels required for a client according to his Business needs then in this case initial 7 codes are customised and remaining 8 release codes are configured in the system.
Release procedure is of two types
Release Procedure without classification
             This procedure is applicable only for Purchase Requisitions.
             Here PR is released Item by Item only.
Release Procedure with classification
            This procedure is applicable to PR,RFQ,Service Entry sheet,RFQ,PO,Contract and scheduling agreements.
            Item by Item and Header level releases can be configured
            For PR - both item by item and Header level release can be configured
            For external purchasing documents - Release is possible only at Header level.
Step 1:
Create Characteristics
In this step we need to create characteristics - conditions to be satisfied for triggering Release startegy.For example client has asked to set release strategy based on 3 inputs.Combination of value, Plant and Purchasing group
            1) Total value of PR more than Rs 50,000
               create characteristic as "Release_PR_total_value" in transaction code CT04.
              Tab - Basic data " Data type --- CURR currency format", "Decimal places - eg. 2 " and "currency eg. INR or USD"
              Tab -values key in > 50000 INR
              Tab - Additional Data- Table Name "CEBAN" and Field Name "GSWRT"
              Tab - Restrictions - class type - 032 - Release strategy
            2) Plant
                 Create characteristic "Release_PR_plant" in transaction code CT04.
                 Tab - Basic data - Data type - CHAR; Number of chars - 4
                 Tab - Values - Key in all the plants for which you are required to configure release proc. eg. 1000,2000,3000
                 Tab - Additional data - Table name CEBAN and Field Name is WERKS.
            3) Purchaisng Group
                 Create characteristic "Release_PR_PurchasingGroup" in TCode CT04
                Tab - Basic data - Data Type - char, Number of chars eg. 3
                Tab - values - Key in all the purchasing Groups for which Release proc. is to be configured as required by Client.
                Tab - Addnl Data - Table Name CEKKO and field name - EKGRP
Step 2:
Define class in transaction code CL02
Menu path SPRO>Materials Mgmt>Purchasing>Purchase Requisition>Release Procedure>Procedure with Classification>Edit classes
Here we assign all the above created Characteristics to a CLASS so that a release strategy to be triggered when all the conditions are met.
Create a new class with free choice of names as "PR_Release_proc" in transaction code CL02.*Key in the class name and select class type as 032 - RELEASE STRATEGY then click on symbol create to enter all the details as mentioned below.
Tab - Basic data - Enter description as "PR_Release-Proc",
status- Released, Same classification - check the push button - Warning Message
Tab- CHAR Enter above created 3 characteristics
1.Release_PR_total_value
2.Release_PR_plant
3.Release_PR_PurchasingGroup
step3:
Menu path is
SPRO>Materials Mgmt>Purchasing>Purchase Requisition>Release Procedure>Procedure with Classification>set up procedure with classification>
here define
1.Release Groups
Release group 01 is used for Purchase requisitions and 02 for Purchase orders.
Here assign class "PR_Release_proc" against release code "01"
check "OvRelPReq" indicator for over all release (All line items )of document in one shot else it will be released line item wise.
2.Release codes
Release codes are assigned to Release groups, in Workflow these release codes are tagged to users' SAP IDs through which they will be able to approve or reject a PR in SBWP(Inbox in SAP Business workplace.
PRs are released by users in transaction code ME54N.
Eg
Type of user            - Level -             Release code
PR creator - clerk or Business user -
Approver    - Supervisor                 -   R1
Approver -   Project Lead              -   R2
Approver   - Asst. Manager             - R3
Approver   - HOD/General Manager - R4
Release codes R1 to R5 are assigned to corresponding users.Manager R4 can only approve the PR if prior approvals till R3 are completed else not in ideal situation.
For detailed info please refer
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/75/ee1fa755c811d189900000e8322d00/frameset.htm
3. Release Indicator:
Release indicators show the release status of a Purchase Requisition.
For detailed info please refer SAP Help official site
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/75/ee1fa755c811d189900000e8322d00/frameset.htm
4.Release Pre requisites:
These define the order in which individuals or departments release the PR in sequence.
3.Release strategies
Create a new release startegy eg ."A1" or "U1" , write its description PR release for value >1 lakh
Now select release codes according to the Chart of Authority set by your client.
Eg.
Release startegy " A1 - PR release for value >1 lakh"
R1 - Supervisor
R2- Project Lead
R3- Asst. Manager
R4- General Manager
Now click on" Release Prerequisites "push button and check all the boxes in ascending order.Save the document
click on "Release statuses" push button, check release statuses then click on "Continue" push button.
In third push button you can maintain CLASSIFICATION data or later you can directly mainatain in transaction code CL20N for this strategy.
Classification data for example
1. Value - > 100000
2. Plant - 1000,2000,3000 etc
3. Purchasing groups - 101,102,103 etc
By clicking on "Release Simulation" push button you can check whether release is getting affected for configured release codes or not.
In this way you can configure all the required Release startegies.
Now create a PR in T code ME51N with the above conditions then a new tab will appear in PR creation screen at the time of check.Save the document and this can be released by respective users in TCode ME54N.
Tcode - ME54N - For Individual Release
