Contract Cancellayion of Release

Hi,
I have created a contract & printed the contract through ME9K & then i am trying to cancel the release as i want to make an amendment but the system is showing me following error "Document has already been outputted (function not possible)" when i am trying to cancel the release..
Please Help.
Regards,
Anupam

Hi,
you told me that the contract has been already printed and send to vendor. Once
purchasing document (contract, PO etc) has been printed after final
release, system will not allow to cancel the release and thus message
is displayed.
Please see question 12 of attached note 493900. This is mentioned
about PO but behavior is same in case of contract also.
12. Question :
Is it possible to cancel a release strategy when the purchase order has
been printed out ?
Answer :
With ME29N you cannot cancel a release strategy once the document has
been printed out. This behaviour constitutes a new design. Regarding
ME28 it has been decided to keep the old behaviour and you can cancel
the release if there is at least one message type which has not been
printed out.
Hope this will clarify system behavior.

You can manually change the status of contract from held to released status using FM 'CRM_STATUS_UPDATE'. Enter your status parameters in structure JEST_INS and execute the FM.

SAP SRM Contract : identify Creation/Release and restrict BADI call

Hi There!
I need some suggestion on one of the issue i'm having now:
The SRM contract workflow works on n-level approval for which a BADI is implemented for the approvers. Now for one of the custom sub-process i need to trigger a different workflow from this BADI which works BUT create as much of workflow items as the number of calls of the BADI. Is there way to identify the code/identifier which say it is a 'SAVE' or 'RELEASE' event and also how can i restrict some piece of code inside the approval badi to be called only at the last call of the badi?

Dont you want to show a release value to every one ?

Report for Qty Contract and Value Contract with PO release exceeding limits

Hi All,
Is there a std report in SAP that the users can use to view Qty and Val Contracts that has exceed in Qty (in case of Qty Contracts) or Val (in case of Val Contracts) ?
Thanks in advance!

hi Duke,
If thinking logically, then there is no report for the same..this may be because you enter the qty or value limits in the contract doc itself....So, when you make the PO for the same, and if the qty or value exceeds the system automatically provides the message..stating that the qty or value has exceeded....
So, there is no report for the same...
Hope it helps...

Contract & PO Release Strategy

Hi All,
We are in the process of designing the release strategy for contract and PO. I would like to know whether we can have the different release conditions for contract and different release conditions for PO. For example.
The release conditions for Contract required are
1)Porg
2)Pgroup
3) Value
Also, for quantity contract how can we make the release strategy trigger based on value.
The release conditions for PO required are
1)Porg
2)Pgroup
3)Material Group
4)Value
The release strategy is not getting determined if we create po with two line items which belongs to two different material group. Is there any way out to solve this issue?
Request your help.
Regards,
Kannan

Hi Kannan
Yes your requirement is possible...
While creating Charectristics in CT04 for External Purchase Documents...Create one more Value for your Document Category...ie) Table as :CEKKO and Field as BSTYP and choose the Purchase Doc. Category values K and F.
Then create Charecteris for CEKKO - EKORG, CEKKO - EKGRP and CEKKO - GNETW, CEKKO- MATKL... and assign these all 4 Chareteristices in your release class.
And Configure your release statergy according to your requirement...

Contract Release Value is not updated with Confirmation or Invoice value

The release value for a contract in SRM EBP shows the value of purchase orders created using that contract. It does not take into account confirmation and/or invoice values.
For example I create a PO for 10 items at £100/each using Contract ABC. The total value of the PO is £1000 and the release value contract ABC would be £1000. If I then only confirm and invoice 5 items (£500) for the PO, the release value of contract ABC stays at £1000 even though I would expect it to update to £500
Therefore the release value of the contract could be incorrectly overstated if purchase orders are created against the contract but not actually invoiced/confirmed for their total value.
Please could you confirm the correct functionality and how I could find out the the true invoice value of purchases made using a contract?

Release orders for value contract

Hi Folks,
I have question on value contract.
Customer contract is fullfilled by issuing orders against the contract. When a release order is created for the contract, the system automatically updates the released values in the contract. The release order value is calculated from the total of the open order and delivery values, plus the value that has already been billed to the value contract. System checks this value with "Outline agreement target value" in value contract and issues warning or error message depends on configuration settings in value contract item catagory.
We have business scenario where system has to check net value of value contract rather than checking "Outline agrrement target value" in value contract. Because we offer some discounts to customer in value contract thus net value of the contract differs from agreement value. So that system will issue error message when release order value exceeds net value of value contract.
Is there any customizing settings available to meet the requirement?
Awaiting for your inputs.
Regards,
Prabhaharan

Hi,
In transcation VTAA at item level have your own cory requirment code which will calcullate net value of the doc, hope this works out

Open Order quantity in Release order of Contracts

Hi all,
We are developing new PO format for Release Order ( Contract) where in we want to print the Open order quantity & Open order value along with Contract number.
What is the best logic for Open order quantity, where in it has consider all the previous release order quantities minus the target quantity in contract.
Open order quantity = target quantity in contract - all previously release order quantities.
Thanks in advance.

hai sajid,
As u said,
open order quantity = total quantity in contract - total quantity released against that contract ( Through release orders )
it is right,

Release order with reference to Contract.

Hello all
Client is using the quantity contract & against that Release order are created ,after changing the contract price, new release order will pick up new price from contract,
Now the requirement is Old release order(GRN & INVOICE NOT DONE) price should get change as per new contract price. how this will be achieve ( Configuration or z Development)
Kindly suggest (SAP version is 4.7)
Also what is Automatic Document adjustment & how it works? whether above scenario is possible with automatic document adjustment.
Thanks & Regards
Rajesh

Hi
Price always come from Purchasing inforecord to the contract release order not from the contract.
If the contract price is updated thru info update indicator in contract then you will get the latest price from inforecord to contract release order.
For your old release order if you want to adopt the latest price based on the date then change the price date category as 5-GR date in Purchasing inforecord as well as Contract. If the field is open in PO then you change there also.
Now if you do the GR the price will be picked based on the GR date from the Purchasing inforecrd condition
Hope it helps
Thanks/Karthik

Release of central contracts

In SRM a central contract was created and then distributed to SAP ERP ECC 6.0 Backend.
In backend system a release strategy exists for the distributed contract.
When trying to release this contract with ME35K the contract will not be found.
Checking the table EKKO the contract is there and the release strategy is correct.
Debugging transaction ME35K we found that the following statement deletes the distributed contract.
*- Check for EhP4-Switch and Central Contract
IF cl_ops_switch_check=>mm_sfws_p2pse( ) = 'X'.
DELETE xekko WHERE bstyp EQ 'K'
AND statu EQ 'K'.
The question is if there is a switch which needs to be activated or deactivated that the contract can be released by ME35K?
The switch should be: MM_SFWS_P2PSE
Or is it SAP standard that distributed central contracts cannot be released in ERP backend with ME35K?
Thanks in advance.

If you're reference the PO to a PR, than you can remove the assingment of the Contract document type to the PR document type, so the users wont be able to create the PO with reference to the Contract with the specific doc type.

Contract Release strategy

Dear Guru,
We have three types of contracts like A type, B type, C type......with these three types of contracts we have release strategy with different conditions.
               For A type of contract : Release Strategy should trigger on cost center and value base.
               For B Type of Contract : Same conditons like above.
               For C type of contract : it should trigger on duration base like.....if contract create for one year itshould trigger manager........if one year to two years it should trigger to director........if above two years it should trigger to CEO.
          This is my requirement.....how to configure this pls explain me.
Best Regards,
Bhaskar.

Hi,
You can only have one class and so you will have to use all of the characteristics from each type of check that you want.
So you would need a characteristic of Cost centre, one for Value and one for start and end date. (in addition to whatever characteristic you are using to determine if the contract is type A, B or C.)
With the release strategies you need to ensure that for type A and B contracts the date range characteristic is not checked and so you need to specify that all date ranges are included (so if the difference between the two dates is one day to 999 years).
then on the release strategy for the type C contract, make sure that the cost centre and value characteristics are set to include all too (so cost centre 0000 to ZZZZ and value from 0.01 to 9999999, if you don't want either to be checked).
this should work, the basic idea is that you ahev to have ALL characteristics included in every strategy but you use the values to make sure that you ignore certain characteristics in certain situations.

Release Procedure For Contract

Dear Gurus,
I have created a release procedure for Purchase Order.Now i created a Contract , it also asking for release.I dont know y its happening??
Is ter any link between Po release and Contract Release??
Plz Explain ....
Thanks in advance...........

Hi,
Whatever document types you give in release procedure will undergo Approval process.
Since you have given MK & WK, your contract has been blocked for release. Unless it is released, it cannot be used for further transactions, say creation of PO.
Tcode to release contract is ME35K.
Release it using your release group & release codes, Afterwhich you will be able to create PO with contract reference.
If you donot want contract to undergo release procedure, please do not mention WK or MK in values for doc characteristics. Give the document type of PO alone. Say NB (standard PO)

Divya

MM:Release Strategy for Release Order again Approved Contract

Hi,
Release strategy for Release Order is required or not against approved contrat??
As fas as I know once the contract is approved, release order is not required to approve again.
This is the standard setting from SAP or We need to do some setting for this??
In my support project I have studied the release procedure and found that, same release strategy and release Group has been used for Purchase Order and Contract.
Please let me know if anyone have faced this rquirement or I have to go for Z development for this requirement.
Thanks you.

Hi Lalita,
Thank you for your quick suggestion.
yes definitely the release stratergy and release group should be set up separately but here both are same
that is the reason this is picking of the same release procedure again evenif the contract is approved.
we have following release characterstic for the release procedure.
1) Purchasing Group
2)Total Net Order Value
3)Order Type
4)Purchase Organisation
5)Material Group.
I think for the above characterstic we must a separater value for PO and Contract but Currently all are merge
in this only
But Can you tell me "Release Order should be subjected to release procedure" this is correct or not .
If yes then what is the base for this, I mean is it working on the concept that " If do relevent
release characterstic value is found then no release procedure and this is treated as autorelease in sap"
Thanks you.

I had released and saved for all the levels i.e for all the release codes.
Still it is behaving the same.
I have not used any ref purchase org as mentioned above in one of replies.
