Cannot reset release strategy for RFQ

Dear SAP gurus,
I set release procedure for RFQ. I set anyway that the changeability is 6, and the tolerance is zero. I expect that after it is released, whenever anyone is changing everything the release strategy will be reset.
But this is not happening. In my case, the manager already approve the RFQ but the RFQ has not been sent yet. Then someone change the quantity of the RFQ, and the release strategy is not reset. When I check again I realize that changeability 6 means the release will be reset if the value is changed; while in RFQ there is no value mentioned anywhere, it means that the release strategy for RFQ will never be reset.
Do i miss something? Is there any way to make sure that the release for RFQ is reset if someone change anything in the RFQ?
Best regards,
John.

Why are you having a value based release in RFQ? And more important, why do you need release for RFQ?
However, if you still want to go ahead with release, then you need to use the user exit for purchasing document release to achieve your objective. Please search for my earlier posts on how to reset release even on decrease of PO value. You can use the same logic for RFQ also.

  • 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.

    hi sandesh,
    sorry, i know it's too late.
    i tried your suggestion, it works blocking the purchase order after release strategies are setted.

  • Release strategy for RFQ

    Hi,
    Please let me know,how to set release strategy for rfq.. i'VE ACTIVATED MY RELEASE STRATEGY FOR po USING TABLE cekko... iF I WANT TO ACTIVATE RELEASE STRATEGY FOR rfq... WHICH TABLE AND FIELD NAME I WANT TO USE... PLS EXPLAIN..

    For RFQ also we can use the same communication structure CEKKO, but for differentiation between release startegy of Contrcats Purchase orders & RFQ's better to use the Charcteristic Document category i.e CEKKO - BSTYP - Purchasing Document Category

  • Release strategy for RFQ's not triggered after change

    Folks,
    Release strategy is active for RFQ's. In case of initial creation, the release strategy is active. After releasal a change is made to the existing RFQ. However, the release strategy is not triggered. Characteristics used are:
    1) document type (AN)
    2) purchasing type (RFQ purchasing document)
    It is obvious that these characteristics will not re-trigger the release strategy. On header level, there is no field in CEKKO available to re-trigger, for example total quantity? Any suggestions for a characteristic that can re-trigger the RS?

    Hi,
    For RFQ Release strategy will be applicable only for Document type.No other characteristics will apply for that.
    As RFQ don't have any specific table where the data is stored related to RFQ.
    So we Use CEKKO which only identifies the document type of RFQ.
    In your case in initial process while creating the RFQ release strategy is active.
    What change you have made to the Released RFQ.

  • Release strategy in RFQ

    Hello Gurus,
       Is there any way I can implement a release strategy for RFQ?
    Thanks,
    Jeffrey

    Hi Jeffrey,
    yes you can set up release strategies to RFQ also in
    trasaction SPRO->MM->purchasing->RFQ/Quotation->Release Procedure for RFQs->Define Release Procedure for RFQs.
    RFQ's use the same structure as purchase orders for the release strategy classification (CEKKO). Nevertheless, there are some fields in this structure that are only relevant in POs. Field CEKKO-GNETW (Total net
    order value) is not relevant to RFQ release strategies. You can enter a value for this characteristic in transaction OMGS, but the system won't consider it.
    Since RFQ is just a  Request for Quotation, it does not make sense to set the release strategy of RFQ according to value change.
    By using the characteristic CEKKO-BSART you can exclude certain release strategies for certain document types. A release strategy with CEKKO-BSART = NB won't apply to documents with the document type AN (RFQs).
    hope this will helps you.

  • Release procedure for RFQ

    Hello All,
    I'm trying to configure release strategy for RFQ, but it's not working.
    I have create characteristics for CEKKO-BSART,CEKKO-BSTYP,CEKKO-EKGRP,CEKKO-WERKS.
    Have assigned objects to classes. Release indicators are assigned properly.
    But in ME41 it is not getting activated. What could be the reason? I think I have made a mistake somewhere.
    Thanks in advance,
    Piyush

    Hi,
    Is it necessary to assign release code & release group to user id?
    Because I have never done it for any release procedure uptill now.
    Please explain the same.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Release strategy for PO, RFQ & Contract

    Hi,
    We have created release strategy for PO, RFQ & Contract.
    Characterisitc is created for Target Value for Header Area (CEKKO-KTWRT)
    for RFQ & Contract it working fine but for PO not triggering.
    what can be the cause.
    Pls guide.

    Hi,
    Melih is right, for POs you can not use the target value.
    What you might do is to include the document type and CEKKO-GNETW as additional characteristics and then set for contract document types the GNETW blank, and for PO documet type the target value blank. Blank means any value should fit.
    I hope this hint helps!

  • Release Strategy for SA/Contract/PO

    Hi friends,
    Should we have different release groups and release codes in contracting/ SA/ PO.
    Because...
    I have maintained 4 characteristics in release strategy for PO _[ Comp Co, plant, porg, total net order value].
    But i want to maintan only 2 characteristics in release strategy for contract  [plant, total net order value]
    because the same is reflecting in contract config also.
    Is it possible..please help me frnds.
    Prabhu

    Hi Prabhu,
    Unfortunately you need to maintain characteristics of all possible values for company code and plant for contractsu2019 to subject the release.
    Wish that SAP would be more flexible with release of PO, Contract and RFQ but it does not.

  • Release strategy for PO and RO

    Hi All
    My release strategy for Purchase order and Release Order is same.My release strategy has material group and PO/RO value as characteristics. What I want is that my releaase strategy for PO should be based on value whereas for RO it should be based on material group. Is this possible since we cannot have different release group for PO and RO.
    Pl suggest how to go about?

    HI Satish,
    In the characteristic value screen we not only can give single values ,but also multiple values
    and also range of values.
    Since the Data type for this Feild is character ,that is the reason it is not taking Ranges
    So the same is not working for PO,I too Checked the same.
    So it is that you have to have material group ,then there is no other go but entering all the values for the same.
    As we cant add a new Release Class also
    Becoz the release class cant be different ,so as the characteristic values would be same.
    if i could find something else will post you soon.
    but as of know we cant do nothing in this case but create all the material group as charecterics values and add to that strategy.
    Thanks

  • Release Strategy for contracts.

    Hi gurus,
    Good day,.
    Please help on this.
    We have a release strat for Contract. It is working fine when a contract is created, but when several changes were made on the Quantity, release srtat are not being triggered.
    Example.
    Contact created with qty 1000 --> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    After releasing, quantity was updated to 1200--> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    After releasing, quantity was updated to 1100--> release strategy was not triggered. Status was released.
    what is the standard functionality for this? Should the decrease in quantity will trigger release strategy or not?
    Thank you.

    Dear Acel,
    The example you given was working just fine and correct.
    a)Contact created with qty 1000 --> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    b)After releasing, quantity was updated to 1200--> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    c)After releasing, quantity was updated to 1100--> release strategy was not triggered. Status was released.
    -> The release strategy will only be reset if the total net value for the contract was higher the previous
    value but not lower.
    As your example, quantity was updated to 1200, then it will reset when changing from 1000
    to 1200. However when it was decrease to 1100, then it will not reset anymore as you had
    release it for a quantity of 1200, then the total net value should higher than the current qty = 1100.
    In system, it always assume if you had approved for the total value of the higher 1 before, then
    it should be fine for the lower total net value for your management and therefore not need to re-approve
    again for redundancy job. This was very logic in common business scenario in many companies.
    However, like in your example , if you had define a different release strategy for a value that met the
    the 1100 quantity, it will redermine the different release strategy. For example:
    USD 1 for every quantity = 1
    Then your contract will be USD 1000 for quantity = 1000, USD 1100 for quantity = 1100 and
    USD 1200 for quantity = 1200.
    Release strategy A for 1000 , characteristics from USD 1000- lower than 1100
    Release strategy B for 1100 , characteristics from USD 1100- lower than 1200
    Release strategy C for 1200 , characteristics from USD 1200 onwards
    Then if you change the quantity from 1200 to 1100, it will redetermine the release
    strategy B which means from Release strategy C to Release strategy B. If you
    only had Release strategy C that had a characteristics from 1000-1200, then
    it will keep the Release strategy C as released and it won't be reset unless
    if you had change it and the condition of the total net value was higher than any value
    before.
    Hope this will explain the logic.

  • Release strategy for Future validity period- (Outline agreements)

    Dear All,
    I want to create release strategy for Scheduling agreement.But I am creating the SA for furure validity period.In this case how the release strategy will triger.
    E.g Today 09.03.09 I create a Sceduling agreement and the validity period I maintain is from 01.06.09 to 31.12.09 and Amount say 100 Rs.
    I am using Characteristics Doct type and Amount.. The system checks the rate as on date (i.e on 09.03.09) and since it doesnt find any value the Release strategy is not trigeering.
    How to set up release strategy in the above case.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Amar

    Hi Amar,
    1) if you maintain a target value (EKKO-KTWRT) in the header of the            
    contract this value is the basis for the determination of the release          
    strategy. If the target value is 0, the system will cumulate the               
    values of the items and will use this value for the determination.                                                                               
    2) So if the target value is 0 and you change the price of a condition         
    with a validity period in the future the system will react in the              
    following way:                                                                               
    Example:                                                                       
       the contract contains one item with quantity = 100 and a net price          
    of EUR 5,-.                                                                    
       all contracts with a target value from EUR 0 - 1.000,- should be            
    subject of a release strategy                                                  
       the contract is created and released on October the 1st                     
       ME32K -> October the 2nd you define a new price of EUR 7,- with a           
    validity period from 03.10.09 - 30-10.09 -> you save the contract              
    -> the release strategy is not reset, as the start date is not                 
    reached yet (system date < startdate of validity period)                       
       ME32K October the 3rd you change a field in the contract -> the             
    release strategy is reset                                                                               
    This is system design that a release strategy can only be reset through        
    an action by the user. The determination of the release strategy can't         
    be triggered automatically in the background.      
    If you create a document which is subject of an overall release strategy      
    (e.g. p.o., contract) the determination of the release strategy takes         
    place when the user hits the 'save' button or chooses the 'check'             
    function.                                                                     
    So there must be a kind of event that tells the system that something         
    has changed.

  • Mass po reset release strategy

    i   want to know transaction or program or function module name or any other ways for performing
    " mass po reset release strategy "  ,  please   help

    Hi Veeru,
    You can release the PO's all at once. Please sit with your technical consultant and ask him/her to write the code which takes the inputs of the Release Codes and the indicator Released and pass this information (PO number, Release Code, Release Indicator etc what ever is required) in the BAPI_PO_RELEASE. Some coding needs to be done to do this.
    Hope this helps.

  • Release strategy for PO and Contract

    Hi,
    I maintain characteritic for PO

    Company code

    My class consist of
    Plant
    Doc Type
    Net Order Value
    Purchasing Group
    Company code

    Q1: Do i need to maintain ALL characteristic value when i define my release strategy for PO or Contract as some characteristic only apply to PO only or contract only?
    Q2:  What option do i have if i need to maintain all characteristic value ? leave it blank ? empty
    Currently my PO release is working fine but when i try to maintain the contract release inside the class . my PO release is not triggering . I maintained diffrent release group for both PO and Contract .
    Thank for your advice

    First of all
    For purchasing like PO,pr,contract you can able to get in ekko table.No need to maintain separate release unless if it your business requirement.Take Document type as one of the characteristics it will distinguish whether it is PO or contract.
    You have to maintain all the characteristic value then only it will trigered release.
    Check the release indicator as well.
    Hope it will help.
