Create Release strategy for PR

Dear experts,
We have one class FRG_EBAN for PR release strategy and there are 5 characteristics in that class. Now i need to create a rel. strategy with 4 characteristics . Can i create a new class for PR release strategy?
Please help.
Thank you
King regards,
Zusen

Thank you SAM for your reply.
In the existing class FRG_EBAN one of characteristics is Account Assignment Category. If i am not wrong which cannt be blank. and i have seen that all characteristics included in the class needs to be maintained in the release strategy.
I need to create a release strategy of PR in which no a/c assignment category will be maintained. but in existing scenario i cannt create release strategy without giving value in a/c assignment category characteristic in the characteristic tab of release strategy.
Please suggest how to resolve this problem
Kind regards,

Dear,
Please follow below mention path.
*and check any things is missing, If you can go in bellow mention hints you cans create easily purchase release streatgy.*
*- Follow below mention path.*
*SPRO -> Material Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Release Procedure for Purchase Orders.*
*Three steps involved in release process of purchase order.*
**Edit Characteristic     Create characteristic for release purchase order. If you want to release purchase order on purchasing group base. So you can create characteristic for purchasing group. Take reference of CEKKO structure and BKGRP field for purchasing group in additional data of characteristic. E.g :- Purchasing group - BKGRP**
**Edit Class     After creation of characteristic, create class for release purchase order. In which you can take reference of Class Type: - 032,Status: - Release,Class group: - Release strategy class,And put reference of your characteristic, which are created by you in first step.E.g: - Class - REL_PO**
*Define Release Procedure of purchase order     In this step four processes involved.o     Release Groupso     Release Codeso     Release indicatoro     Release Strategies*
Now see each steps of Define release procedure of purchase order in briefly: -
Release Group     In which you can define release strategy groupExa.: - Release group : - 01,Release object: - 01, Class: - REL_PO.
Release code     In which you can define release code. Enter value as Release group: - 01,release code: -01 - Purchase Head,Release group: -01, release code: - 02 - Auditor
Release indicator     In this step you have to define release indicator.Like X - Blocked, I - Under process, S - Release
*Release Strategy     *This is the final step for release strategy.Assign release code 01, 02.Click on release prerequisites, select 02 - check box and click on continue.Click on release status button, enter release indicator X, I, S and click continueClick on classification button, enter values of purchasing group for which you want to created release strategy
Than create purchase order for purchasing group, which you assign in classification of release strategy. Enter your values of purchase order and click on check button release strategy executed in your purchase order.

Creating Roles for Purchase Req. release strategy with classification

Hi friends,
Since I have created Purchase req rel strategy where I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 When value <= 5000 (Officer) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r1 and rel code L1
2 For Plant 1 When value >= 5000 (Manager) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r2and rel code L2
Now the manager will have 2 release code,if officer is absent he could release the requisition.
Same has to be done for plant 2
The release Group and code needs to be assigned to the Roles , could anybody tell me where i could know about roles and will be able to create roles and assign authorisation objects to the Roles , and release group and code to the enduser.
though its a basis job , since I have no idea , I mean I have never worked with Roles ,as now I have created the Release strategy with classification I need to assign authorisation objects to the Roles as I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 lower value of requisition 1 codeL1(Officer)
2 For higher value of requisition 2 code say Li and L2(Manager)
Manager should have 2 codes if officer is absent he could release
Same has to be done for Plant 2
Thanks N Regards
Siddhartha

Hii,
Steps:
1) Create a Role
2) Add the authorization Object M_EINK_FRG by taking the manual option
3) Assign Release Code and Release Grp
4) Assign the Role to the User ID which has the authorization of the Release Code and Grp.

PR Release Strategy for MRP & Manually created PR

There is a scenario in which it's required when,
PR is generated automaticaly through MRP then Release strategt should be applicable and when
PR is created manually then release strategy won't be applicale.
Please suggest about this..........
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You should have two document types ( as required by you here), MRP PR document type & Manual PR document type.Link plant, MRP group and the default order types as MRP PR document type in OMDT t.code.
You should create release characteristics (CT04) with the table & field and add all release characteristics in release class. For document type release characteristics with CEBAN & BSART and do not keep value ZNB which you do not want, just keep value ZMNB. During design of release strategy keep value only for document type ZMNB with other character values.

Mass Create PO release strategy

Hi gurus,
We are undergoing a major re-org. Due to the changes, we are taking the opportunities to delete the current strategies and re-create everything from scratch as part of the strategies clean up too.
But in doing this, we find ourselves facing a tremendious task as we have 1000+ buyers and each buyers, we need approx. 6 strategies to be created. Thus sizing is almost 14 weeks as OMGS do not allow parallel processing.
We attempt BDC recroding by it's not working. We go errors that pre-requisite not set even though our BDC program did go into that screen. Have any guru here tried or know any feasible mass uploading method to mass create release strategy in the system?
Thanks.

Hi all,
thanks for your respond.
I have found out with the help of my developers that this can be done.
In fact, the original problem that that after we post the release code and go into the set pre-requisite screen, once we come back to the main screen, the recorder put back the release code again and thus SAP detect this a s a new entry and require you to setup the pre-requisite again.
To resolve the above, just make sure in the coding, when you come back from the pre-requisite screen, the coding to set the release code in the screen is not there any more. The 1st entry of the release code (before going into pre-requisite screen or another other screen) will be sufficient in this BDC program.
This speed up RS setup alot. I can upload 494 release strategies in 82 sec. Normal human hand will only be able to post 1 in approx. 5min per strategy (Excluding classification).
Hope you guys find this useful

Issue: Purchase order release strategy with storage loaction.

Hi Friends,
I have created release strategy for purchase order considering following characteristics.
1. Plant
2. Purchase organization
3. Purchase group
4. Document type
Hence the release strategy is working fine.
Now the requirement is changed, PO approves should be picked depending on the storage location wise. So i tried to create characteristic for storage location with table name CEKKO and with field LGORT. However system not allowing to create, telling that field LGORT not found in table CEKKO.
Can any one tell me how to maintain this LGORT filed in structure CEKKO.
Thanks in advance

HI Shashi ,
Thanks for your quick response,
I have Appended a structure to Standard Structure CEKKO with Field LGOBE.
Also we written the code :move: i_cekko = e_cekko, in user User-Exit M06E0004 function exit
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPLEBND_002.
However, the release strategy is not triggering when PO is saved,
also the user-exit is not getting triggered , even though i have included the statement ' Break-Point'
in it.
Kindly reply.

Issue with PO Release strategy

Hi experts,
I have problem with Po release strategy in 5 to 10 purchase orders, i have created few purchase orders(2000 Po's) with same document type and company code ..etc and saved, then release strategy has been triggered.
For few purhcase orders release strategy has not been triggered.
If i take 1 po from that few purchase orders(Release strategy has not triggered) as reference and again if i create PO,new purchase order have getting created with release strategy.
Can some body tel how this ican be possible, hope this might be standard syatem behaviour.
Hope i should delete thos e purchase orders and i should create new PO's instead of of old PO's (Without release strategy).
Some experts can share their experiance in this regard.
And how i should proceed further with this issue.??
Thanks

Hi,
You issue in your system has 2000Nou2019s purchase orders with release strategy has been triggered but 5 to 10 purchase orders do have release strategy.
& when you are creating a new PO with reference to old purchase orders (which release strategy has not triggered) and on saving NEW PO created with triggering release strategy.
Cause for above:
PO which release strategy does not trigger because the purchase orders are created before setting release strategy for PO. Those PO triggered release strategy and all are created after setting release strategy for PO.
Action:
Its completely business call for business users to go for options:
Option-- >1# You can use same old PO which release strategy does not triggered, do GR and all other process
Option-- >2# You can create new PO with reference old PO which release strategy does not triggered and upon saving you will have new PO number with release strategy triggered, then release PO & do GR and other related process.

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

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.

2. In PO scenario is like this, we have 4 purchacing groups and 4 document types(ZLOC,ZIMP,ZSER,NB) in release strategy, we need to add one more purchasing group that is to be aplicable to my service PO(ZSER) only . so should I need to creat another stretegy for the same, or I can add in the same strategy

Sol: No Only thing you have to do is that go to your class 32 and chek what is the charaterstic define for the purchasing group copy it

How i can find which release group need to create ?
Any help will be highly appreciated

Release code for release group is inconsistent
Message no. ME_RELCHK057
Diagnosis
The release code is not allowed because the associated release group no longer exists.
Procedure
1. Recreate release group .
Note
The release codes and release strategies for a release group are only displayed if the release group still exists. Therefore you must create release group in order to delete the release codes and release strategies.
2. If necessary, delete the release strategies and the release codes for release group .
3. Then delete release group .

Hi,
If you set up the release procedure with classification for purchase requisitions, the procedure without classification is deactivated. The two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor of one of them only - you cannot use both).
To set up a release procedure with classification, you please delete all entries in the Release codes and Release Groups for Purchasing Requisitions and start a fresh creation of new Release Codes and Release Groups.
Hope you have followed the following procedure:
1. Create characteristics and classes
Note
If you wish to link your release procedure to workflow, you must perform steps 2 and 3. You make these settings in Customizing for Business Workflow (Basis -> Business Management).
Otherwise, continue with step 4.
2. Define organizational plan
3. Assign standard tasks and activate event-receiver linkage.
4. Set up release procedure with classification
a) Create release group
b) Create release code
c) Create release indicator
d) Create release strategy
Note
You need only carry out the following step if you wish to link your release procedure to workflow.
e) Assign release code to a release point
5. Check release strategies
Hope, this time you will be able to perform the PR Release with Clasiification.
Regards,
Narayana.
