Changing release strategy - PR change history

Hello,
I have following situation.
I changed release strategy for PR by adding one new release level.
The change effected unreleased PR's and of course new strategy is valid for new PR's. This is ok.
But, the problem is that I lost change history for PR's from the past. There is no change history log for items from old PR's. Also, tables cdhdr and cdpos lost change information, these tables are empty for old PR's after inserting changed release strategy.
Do you know how can I add new level in release strategy without losing PR change history?

Hi,
Are you sure the change log was deleted due to new release effected in PR?
Does the change log was certain fields for PR.
Do refer the below KBA, which explains the change that there is no change log updated for certain fields.
KBA : 1895575 - ME5*N/ME2*N : No change log for certain fields

Release strategy tab is not coming in SES

Hi All,
I am facing a issue where I have created an SES, and release strategy is assigned to this SES. Problem is somehow the user is not able to see the release tab when he go wants to release the SES. The release tab is missing from the SES.
Am sure somebody has faced this kind of issue and have any idea how to correct this.
Thanks

Hi,
The direct reason that there is no release icon available in ML81N
is inconsistency in the field ESSR-FRGRL for affected SES's.
This field should be filled with 'X' as all those SES are subject
for release.
Have you changed customizing for involved release strategy recently ?
If a relase strategy is created with a certain name and documents are
created with respect to it afterwards, this release strategy should be
changed then IF AND ONLY IF a NEW name is assigned to it as well. In
other words, if such a strategy is already use, it should be RENAMED
before applying the desired changes.
Otherwise you will run into the observed inconsistencies when trying to
edit documents which were created BEFORE the strategy was changed
(since the system at some point always checks the NAME of the strategy
to be changed, NOT the content).
So if this case happens only for already created SES a good solution
for it is to delete affected SES and create a new one with changed
release strategy.
I would delete affected SES and create it again.
It seems to be the fastest way to resolve this issue.
If you need a correction for this inconsistency issue, please open a SAP ticket for your problem.

Here PO printout is possible only after the final approval...
Pls give some inputs in fixing this issue..
Thanks in advance....

Hi
What are the characteristics of your strategy?
Try to change one of them save and then rechange it to the original
eg.
If the strategy depends for example on the Purchasing Group (PG)
i mean according to different PG's different strategies working
then with ME22N change the PG save and rechange it again to the original.
or
for example If the strategy depends on Materail Groups (MG)
then do the change with MG
With ME22N change the MG save and rechange it again to the original.
I guess this will trigger the strategy again.
Hope it helps
Best Regards

Change in Purchase Order Release Strategy Values

Dear All,
I am in process of changing Purchase Order release strategy values.
I have following release strategy -
                       Current Value                  (Proposed Value)
Level 1 -         Upto INR 0.1 Mn               (Proposed value - Upto 1.0 Mn)
Level 2 -         From 0.11 Mn to 0.5 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 1.01 Mn to 5.00 Mn)
Level 3 -         From 0.51 Mn to 1.0 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 5.01 Mn to 10.0 Mn)
Level 4 -         Above 1.0 Mn                  (Proposed Value - Above 10.0 Mn)
My questions are -
1) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are not yet released?
2) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are released?
3) Are there any risk factors?
Can you pl. put light on above questions?

Prashant Kolhatkar

Hi,
Actually, what you had given is not enough to determine if the existing PO will be impacted or not
If you are just changing the classification but not changing the number of release level of the release code in the release strategy, the partial released PO will not be impacted unless there's PO changes. PO that are released will definitely not be impacted unless there are changed.
In general, after a release strategy is determined for PO, SAP will retrieve the latest list of release code of that release strategy for display for that PO. If this list never change (mean you only change classification of the release strategy), then they will not be apparent to the user. But if this list change (you add new release code, replace existing release code or remove release code), then you will see some discrepency on screen as you will only see the modified list of release code and not the old list of release code
Hope this help

Hello Hari,
please set a breakpoint at function module
ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
and see what happends in section
    CASE t16fc-frgwf.
* keine Ermittlung
      WHEN space.
        RAISE nobody_found.
* Ermittlung über T16fW
      WHEN '1'.
If using the T16FW-table, it should go to '1', otherwise it may that a user exit under '9' is used. So please check this.

PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less

Subject : PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less Total PO
Dear Friends
We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy with multiple approvers. After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced . The new PO value should have changed the PO release strategy. But it is not changed. Old release strategy only showing in the PO which is wrong.
Details of the PO
PO no 4500000123 with 5 line items Total PO value : 100,000 USD Release strategy : AB
PO line item 5 deleted. Now total PO value changed to 50,000 USD and the PO release strategy should have been changed to AA but not changed. Still showing PO release strategy AB only.
Are there any OSS notes available to correct his bug.
Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in Advance
Thanks

Release Strategy to be reset for any change in purchase order

Hi Experts,
At present the release strategy configured is for any change in the value of the purchase order, the release strategy is reset. Now the the client wants that for even any text change of a word, text, quantity, value, addition, deletion the release strategy should be reset.
Can any one guide to configure the release strategy for any change. Also please provide the list of standard parameters/scenario (E.g. change of price, change of quantity etc) for which the release strategy can be configured to be reset.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Diwakar,
I too have the same problem. I tried with Changeable indicator "1". The system does not allow to make any change to the Purchase Order even after the first level of Release. But the requirement is that the system should Reset the Release Strategy for even minor Change in the PO.

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.

If PO changes must go to release strategy again

Dear Expert,
Present release strategy is changable.After final release , PO can be change. My client want if changes took place in PO , it should go into release strategy again. please help

Hi,
Please go to SPRO -> MM -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Release Procedure for Purchase Orders -> Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders -> Release Indicator
Here you have to maintain Chgable as 6 i.e Changeable, new release in case of new strategy and % Value change as 0.
Please note even if you maintain as above, in case if you are lowering value of PO the changes won't go for release. It will work only when the changes are on positive side. Else you need to use User Exit for same.
Hope it helps.
Thnx.

Laxman

Hi
we have also did some changes to relase codes after once in use & we had encountered some problems in the PO.
For E.g. If you have the previous repease codes as L1 & L2 , & if you are removeing the L2 form the release codes then All the PO's whcih are approved by L1 & awaiting tobe approed by L2 will be in hanging status. You need to go into each PO 7 click on revoke acceptance & Click on check then The new relase codes will appear.
If you can clearly explain what you are planning to do on the relase codes , then we can advise you in the right manner.
Thanks & Regards

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.
