Correction to PO release strategy

Dear All,
We have PO release strategy configured and working fine.
Now there are ammendments happend in the PO release strategy i.e. the value limits are changed also new levels are introduced which will be effectivef fro a particular date.
I want to make changes in the system such that the old strategy will be effective till the specidied date and from the cut off date new strategy will be effective.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Afshad,
Thanks for your reply.
I have one query.
We have PO version management active. i.e. released PO is changed system should trigger a version and release strategy is re-triggered.
Now If I am changing anything in the PO which is of older date ( i.e. before the new release strategy is active) what will happen to the release strategy.

Yogesh

Release Strategy Triggered even if the characteric values were not correct.

Hi,
I have configured release strategy based on characteristics
Purchasing group and
Document type
It has 2 release indicators with 3 levels of release.
There are 2 release strategies assigned to same group 01 but have different release codes namely 01,02,03,04
Release Strategy A1has
Doc type NB and Purchasing group 120
Release Strategy A2 has
Doc type ZINT and Purchasing groups 130,131,132,134,135,136,137,138,139
However a strange thing happened.The release strategy was triggered for doc type NB and Purchasing group 190.
This purchasing group is not listed in either of the 2 strategies
Can any one explain why the release strategy got triggered?

That means the old release strategy is not cleraed from the system
do one test
Go to CL30N tocde and enter you release class and class type 032
hit enter
now here enter the value of your char which is in the PO and hit Find in initial class from header
see which release strategy is pulled by the system
here you will see the release strategy and make sure that is not other than what you expect

Why not correct release strategy is called outb

I have created two release strategy 1,2 for release group G1 as below, but when I create PR, only release strategy 1 is called out although the criteria belongs to release strategy 2. Please tell me whether is wrong, thanks.
Release group   G1   Rel. Strategy   1    Buyer of NB
Purchase Requisition Document     NB
Plant     9850
Total value of requisition for     < 1000.00 CNY
Release group   G1   Rel. Strategy   2    1st line manager
Purchase Requisition Document     NB
Plant     9850
Total value of requisition for     > 1000.00 - 10000.00 CNY
what I have created PR total value is 4000

With a lock item in a purchase order, release strategy works?

Dear All,
I have a very important question for myself.
I have a purchase order with only one item.
I have set this item to locked.
Release strategy works without problems.
Is this situation correct?
I don't understand it but maybe the release strategy works normally too....
Please help me with a explanation
Thanks in advance

Yes, if a release strategy is applied to a PO, then even if you block / delete an item, it will still have the release strategy.
This is standard behaviour, because you can later remove the deletion indicator or unblock the PO, whence the PO will again have to go through the Release Procedure.

After level 1 approval and before level 2 approval ... i want to do some actions.. these actions are related to another product named savvion .
My question is can i stop the document to be edited by 02 ( Mr.Xyz ) untill i complete my process after 01( Mr.Abcd ) has finished his work.

Hi,
Yes, We can stop the document to be edited by 02 until 01 has finished his work.
After 01 approved the document need to be correct, go to PO header menu release strategy TAB and 01 approved to be revoked (means double click on the tick mark, it will revoked).

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.

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

Hi,
release indicators change it to 4.It may works. Please explore to all 6 indicators..........
i.e,
1-cannot be changed
2-changable,no new determination of strategy
3-changable,new release in case of strategy
4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change
5-changable,new release if new strategy/outputted
6-changable,new release if new strategy or value changed/ outputted......
And check Characteristic description and value in Classification of Release strategies ........
I hope this will help you. Thanking you.

Release strategy of contract disappeared after using of MEMASSCONTRACT

Hi All,
May be some one can help me?
I have next problem it tr. MEMASSCONTRACT(ECC6)
Release strategy of contract disappeared after using of tr. MEMASSCONTRACT. I know why it happened, but I don't know how to correct it. Some time ago IN ECC5 we added a field to a table EKKO and used this field as one of characteristics in the release strategy of contracts. In order to transfer value of this field to field CEKKO-USRC1 we used User Exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002. This User Exit is suitable only for online transactions (ME31K, ME32K). How can I feel field CEKKO-USRC1 in transaction MEMASSCONTRACT?
Regards, Liza

Thank you. Probably I didn't explain my problem clearly. It's section of code from User Exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002:
ATA: reference(20) TYPE c VALUE '(SAPMM06E)EKKO'.
DATA: it_ekko TYPE ekko.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ymm_icl> TYPE ANY.
e_cekko = i_cekko.
*THE "ICL Contract" FIELD IS ONLY RELEVENT IN THESE TRANSACTIONS
IF sy-tcode EQ 'ME31K' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME32K'
OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME33K' .
ASSIGN (reference) TO <ymm_icl>.
it_ekko = <ymm_icl>.
e_cekko-usrc1 = it_ekko-ymm_icl.
ENDIF.
Program SAPMM06E can only be reffered while using online transactions. Mass transactions does not use these program and it is completely class based. So, may be someone know how can i do the same , but for tr. MASS in ECC6.

Purchase Order not subject to release strategy for contract rel. strategy

Hello, I am trying to set release strategy for contracts (TCODE: ME31K). I have created characteristic, which use table CEKKO and field name BSTYP in Addnl data tab. I have checked values, and they are correct. Then I have assigned in release strategies in classification view value contract. But when I try to check release strategy in ME31K with green flag, it display error: Purchase Order not subject to release strategy. (I have tried to do the same strategy in purchase order, of course with value Purchase order, and it works nice).
So I have checked this release strategy with this codes:
CL24N ok,
CT04 ok,
CL30N ok,
CL20N ok,
Release simulation in release strategy works,
Then I found out that I should check SE38, SE37 but I do not understand how to use them (according: Purchasing Document Not Subject to Release Strategy).
Thank you for your help in advance.

I haven't said to use EKPO table in characteristics. You have to use CEKKO - BSTYP in characteristics.
I've just said the compare the value which you have given in Release strategy - Classification and EKPO table for the particular contract.
Also compare your release strategy settings with many existing documents in SCN.
Check your Classification should be like that.
You may see the error message in ME31K. Just save the contract then go to ME32K/ME33K or ME35K you can see the release strategy will effect for the contract.

Purchase Order Release Strategy Approval

HI All,
I have an issue with the Purchase Order Release Strategy, I need to set the Release strategy at 2 levels.
Level one will have 1 approver
Level two must have two approvers.
The scene is:
Level one will approve all purchase orders betwee 400 to 5000 euros. 1 approver only
Level two will approve all purchase orders above 5000 euros. 2 approvers.
The problem is that the level two approvers must have the same Purchasing Group, Release strategy and Code, that is.
Pur. group G70, Release Group GC and release strategy DF.
I have completed the customising and the Release simulation is working correctly but when the PO is created the is no release strategy proposed.
CL20N is completed for both levels and works correctly for level one approval but not for level two
Can any please help
Leslie

Hi,
May be in your case the values are not properly designed in release strategy for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) release characteristic.Now go for creation of following release characteristics
1. PO Order Type (ZPO_BSART),
2. Company Code (ZPO_ BUKRS),
3. Purchasing Organization (ZPO_EKORG),
4.Plant (ZPO_WERKS)
5. Purchasing Group (ZPO_ EKGRP) and
6. Total net PO Value (ZPO_GNETW)
Create one release class ZPO_CLASS & then add all above release characteristics
And then design your release strategies as required.
AND under release characteristic for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) keep following values
A. <= 400 EUR
B. 400.01- 5000 EUR
C. >5000 EUR
As you already created Release Group GC & release strategy DF (1st level), now create another release strategy DS (2nd level).
NOTE: As you needed one releaser at 1st level and then two releasers in 2nd level. So create three release codes C1 for 1st level and C2 & C3 for 2nd level.
In designing release strategies for PO , you can keep value 400.01- 5000 EUR with release codes C1 under DF release strategy and Keep value >5000 EUR with release codes C2 & C3 under DS release strategy.

Release strategy for Release POs

Hi Every one,
We have a requirement.
A contract is created and approved as per the regular strategy.
The releases (POs) are created against it and sent directly to the vendor.
As the Contract is already approved, standard SAP does not apply the release strategy for the POs created for the contract.
But the business wants the PO releases too to follow the release strategy.
Can you please look in to this and let me what changes we need to make this happen.
Regards
Pavan

As the Contract is already approved, standard SAP does not apply the release strategy for the POs created for the contract
This statement is not correct, it's upto you to use or Not to use Release Process for release Orders (PO) created w.r.to Contract.
As the table & fields are Common for both Contract & PO release ..you need to choose the PO relevant fields & values in the Release Strategy..
So that the Release Process is applicable to PO's created w.r.to Contract also..
For ex: if you use the field purchase Doc category as a Character in the Release , it differentiates whether it is PO or Contract..
So that you can define different Release Strategy for PO & Contract
Or if you maintain the Doc type of PO in the Contract Release Strategy in CL20N / CL24N trxn code..
then the release strategy applies to PO also..
