Check if release strategy linked to Plant

Hi
How do I check if the release strategy, Preq or PO is plant specific?
Cheers
B

Select the release strategy from SPRO (for example PR, MM->Purchaisng->Purchase requistion->release procedure-> procedure with classification->set up procedure with classifictaion)
Select teh classification and there you cna find teh charateristics for Plant if it is linked. otherwise not.
Hope this helps..

Removal of plant from P/R release strategy of another plant

Dear Friends,
In our office there are two plants P068 & P281 both belongs to two separate co codes. In its P/r release strategy in characteristics plants are mentioned so for each plant their should be separate p/r as they are located differently. But unfortunately plant P281 is added in the release strategy of plant P068 though there is a separate release strategy configured for plant P281. So while making P/r of plant P281 release strategy of plant P068 is getting called & the user is not able to release the same because of the restricted authorizations. We have tried to remove the plant P281for which we created the request on DEV server & transported to PRD server but this is not removed. It is still reflecting in P068 P/r release strategy. Kindly advise how we can remove this ? Is their any other alternative way?

You need to remove the plant from classification of release strategy. If system is modifiable, go into release strategy and classification and uncheck the plant, which is not required and save.
OR
If backend is unmodifiable, use this t-code CL20n/CL24n, put in the release code strategy combination and in the classification remove the plant of it and then save and your problem will be solved.
Follow the above steps for adding the plant to new release strategy as well.

Problem in release strategy in a plant PO. Strategy does not appear

Hi:
I have a problem with release strategy in plant PO. When we create a PO in this plant, we have no tab for release strategy, if I change the plant in PO for a different one I get this tab with all data.
I have checked OMGS, CL20N and everything seems to be in order. I think this is a problem in plant definition, but I really donu2019t know where I can look for. This plant is a copy of an existing one, and in this plant there is no problem.
Please, any idea?
Thank you very much in advance.

you can test if one or more strategies can be found. (you should one find one, otherwise SAP is not able to determine which one should be used)
go to CL30N.
Enter your class and class type 032, hit enter
Enter values for the characteristics. and click button for a search in initial class.
I dont think it has something todo with plant customizing. Classification just takes the values that are in your PO and searches for a strategy which has to be in table T16FS.

In my PR Release strategy with 2 levels I have these below things:
Rel Groups : 1 Group with name AA
Rel Codes: For AA is A1, For another AA is A2.
Rel Indicator: nothing is selected, am not sure what to do in this step.
Rel Strategy : For AA is S1, For another AA is S2.
I created class Z_GFWRT but am not sure which group I should assign it AA or I have to create another new group for Overall release.
After I checked the release strategy the system is giving me this below message.
No release group exists
Message no. ME_RELCHK014

Please go thru the below Release Procedure and check whether you have maintained all the settings properly.
PO RELEASE STRATEGY
The release code is a two-character ID allowing a person to release (clear, or approve) a requisition or an external purchasing document. The release codes is basically controlled via a system of authorizations (authorization object M_EINK_FRG).
Use SE12, structure CEKKO to check all the fields available for controlling the Purchase Order.
e.g. If the total value for the Purchase Order exceeds 10,000, release strategy 01 is assigned to the Purchase Order. There is only one characteristic created in this example. For controlling the Purchase Order type, create characteristic for CEKKO-BSTYP and the value NB.
CT04 - Create Characteristic e.g. NETVALUE
Click Additional data Table name CEKKO Field name GNETW and press enter
(for currency dependent field, you are prompt to enter the currency which the system then converts the currency of the Purchasing document into this currency)
In the Basic data (X refers to tick),
X Mutliple values
X Interval values
In the Value data, in the Char. value column, type >10000 and press enter
Save your data
CL02 - Class
Class - Create REL_PUR
Class type - 032
Click Create

Problem in purchase requisition release strategy code

Hi
We are facing a problem in purchase requisition, a new release strategy was created and change request transported but when PR is displayed in release strategy chart a same user is showed in different release strategy code.
Note: new strategy was copied from other.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
As you said tht you have copied the release stategy n created the new one...
If you do so, you would have copied the class also...to which the release group is attached...
If this is the case, then system doesn't recognise the new one, and inorder to solve it you have to define the new characteristic and class...then assign this class to the release group and make your release strategy again...
Once you do this check the release strategy at OMGSCK...and then try at PR...
You do all settings at :
SPRO >> IMG>> MM >> Purchasing >> PR >> define release strategy >> W/o classification >> here edit characteristics/class and all other link are provided...

P.O release strategy

Hi,
With the following requirement,how can we configure p.o release strategy?
Client requirement is that he wants one release strategy with
parameters plant and p.o type are the characters.
And one more release strategy will be based on only purchase group only.
How can we achieve it?
System will not allow two seperate release groups with two seperate release class.
With only one class with above three characteristics,we can't achieve client requirement.
So how can we achieve client requirement?
Thanks in advance and rewarded for useful information...

Mohan

Hi,
As some of our friends told that maitain the 3 characterstics to the same class and assign the class to one release group,and create 2 release strategies one with plant,document type and all Pur grps except that are in strategy 2 and second strategy with required pur grps( that are left in strategy 1) and all plants,all document types.
you can't leave any of the charecterisitcs blank in a strategy.
here is a example i did
strategy 1:
Document type     NB
Purchasing group     026
Plant     1000
Plant     1100
strategy 2:
Document type     NB
Purchasing group     001
Purchasing group     002
Plant     1000
test 1:
here i want to create a PO with strategy 1, then i created a PO with above combination NB-026-1000/1100 - it was success full
test 2:
here i want to create a PO with strategy 2, then i created a PO with above combination NB-001/002-1000 - it was success full
Please check and confirm the same.

1. Plant
2. Value

Hi,
Your Release strategy will not work.
In you want to get the release strategy for multiple plant then you have to define another strategy in OMGS u2013 say 01 u2013 07 as Multiple plant and for that strategy in CL24n mating all the characteristics and donu2019t maintain any value for your characteristics plant and then check.

PR Release Strategy Characteristic Changes

I created several characteristics for a purchase req. release strategy. I added an incorrect value and then deleted it on one of the characteristics. Is there anything else that needs to be done to ensure that value is really deleted?
I'm receiveing an error when I ALE that I have documents that won't post for the error:
REQ_PURCH_ORG : Value "Structure Exists " not found
Structure exists is not a value associated with this characteristic.

Thanks for the solution that helped me to understand PR Release much better.

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.
