Define Release Procedure for Contracts in RE-FX

Hi Gurus!
I´d like to implement the release procedure for contracts in RE-FX similar at the MM module? Is it possible?
I didn´t find in RE-FX.
Thanks,
Brunoro

Hi Brunoro,
To the extent I am aware in REM exact release process is not available. Instead you can control the Creation/Activation of contract by resticting access to activity 01/07 (respectively) in your seperate roles (with the help of Basis team).
The person authoriosed for Activity 01 will not be authorised for activity 07. And communication between two users can be chanelled via worklist.
Regards
Rohit

  • Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders

    Hi Friends,
    We are changing Release procedure for purchase orders for one department from > $ 5000 to > $ 10000.
    We defined three characteristics for the class namely Purchasing Order Document, Purchasing Order Type and Ner Order Value which is Currency data type. I Defined Release Procedure for Purchase Orders in configuration master. It's working fine, I mean the Net order Value field is updated in Configuration Client.
    After transporting the above change to the Testing Client, the Net Order Value field did not update in testing Client even though I created Characteristics in Testing Client (as characters are not transportable, I created them seperately in Testing Client). I can't update the Net Order Value manually in Testing Client as it says "Client 010 (test) has status 'not modifiable' "
    Please tell me how to update that field, as the net order value didn't change even after transport. I can't change manually in testing Client as the status is "not modifiable"

    Hi,
    Yes I have already done that.
    In SPRO,
    After hitting the following:-
    MM --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Release Procedure for Purchase Orders --> Define Release procedre for Purchase Orders
    I have to process the objects in the following sequence,
    Release Group, Release Code, Release Indicator, Release Strategy & Workflow.
    Upto Release Indicator it is fine. After hitting Release Strategy, I should select the release strategy (which I just created) and display. Then 4 buttons will be displayed namely,
    Release Prerequisites, Release statuses, Classification, Release simulation.
    Upto Release statuses it's fine. Afeter hitting Classification,
    the values of Purchase document & Order type are populated, but the Total Net Order Value is Blank. It is supposed to populate the amount & 10,000. But it is not.
    Actually that amount will be stored in the field GNETW of table CEKKO. But CEKKO is a Structure not a table. So I can't update the field.
    Please advice me...
    Thank You,
    Nag

  • 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)

  • How to configure release procedure for rate contracts release

    Dear all,
    How to configure release procedure for rate  contract following are the requirements
    they are two release codes c1 & c2 <=100000,>=100000
                    if  c1 is not there c2 has to be approved
         Change in the value of the rate contract contract
         Change in the validity of the rate contract
         Addition of deletion of line items
    While using a non u2013 released rate contract in the PO an error message should shoot out.
    Also the logic should be changed while using the rate contract in the PO.
    The usage of the rate contract should be till the validity of the rate contract. i.e. the measurement should be end date of the rate contract and the PO creation date and not the delivery date of the PO. &
    It should be possible to refer existing valid rate contracts in purchase orders.
    Regards,
    bhaskar

    Hi,
    In SAP rate contract is known as value contract denoted with wk. The release procedure for rate contract is same as that of other contracts and scheduling agreements. The tables  for contracts will vary with SA (Scheduling agreement) .You may try and maintain condition records based on the customer combination and maintian the validity date of condition records as per your requirement.For contract and PO will have the same header/item table as EKKO/EKPO, and the release
    class in standard is the same FRG_EKKO, you can use the same for contract.
    To distinguish if it's a contract or PO, EKKO-BSART can be used.
    For contract EKKO-BSART will be MK or WK, while PO will have NB/UB etc..
    You can restrict the document type to set up the release strategy for only contract.
    Of cause, you can also create your own release class Z* for contract copying standard
    one FRG_EKKO via CL01/Class type 032, and then assign the class Z* to customizing:
    OLME:
    -> contract
    ->Release Procedure for Contracts
    ->Define Release Procedure for Contracts
    ->Release Groups
    If you have already created the PO release class.
    Assign a new chracteristic of Document Category -BSTYP
    Please check below link for detailed release procedure. I hope this wil help you out .Thanking you.

  • Error in Release procedure for PO

    Hi
    I have created a release procedure for Purchase groups and plants. But now I want to add a new Purchasing group to the same strategy. How to do this.

    Hi Garapati,
    Release strategy is configuration in customisation screen. Do not merely do assignment of object via CL20N or CL24N. Though assigning the object would work, but is better to do it in customisation.
    Go to this path: -
    SPRO>IMG>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order (Execute)-->Release Strategies
    Go to: Position>Identify the Group> Identify the Release Strategy code
    (How to know what is the release strategy code? In the PO where a release strategy for this value and characteristic is triggered, you can go to the Header-->Release Strategy tab, you would be able to see that the release strategy is triggered. Simply remember the release strategy code. If you already know the code, ignore this step)
    When the search is complete and located the right release strategy that you want to amend, select it and click on Details.
    Inside, go to Classification. Check that this release strategy contain the characteristic that you want to amend. You would be able to see the Characteristic "Purchasing Group" already maintained. Click on Purchasing Group line and click on "Add rows" icon below, then key in the the Purchasing Group value that you want to add.
    Hit Back, and then Save this customisation.
    Now, the PO release strategy will trigger the Purchasing Group you just added if the PO details entered matched the Purchasing Group, Plant and Document Type value that you maintained for this release strategy.
    Hope this helps.
    Rgds.

  • MM - ML81N, Release Procedure for service entry sheet

    Hi Gurus, 
    I would like to active the realease strategy for service.
    in order to customize I  set:
    -Relase Groups
    -Release Codes
    -Release indicator
    -Release startegues 
    Then I run ML81N TRX and I called a sheet to try.  This sheet had to has done to one of the  release strategy set... 
    on the menu (of this trx ML81N)Entry Sheet->Set Status->Release (is still turn off)
    Where is the problem?, anybody could help me?
    Tks in advance,
    Nacho

    Hi,
    please read the FAQ note 672719, question 5:
    Setting up a release procedure is explained in the following short                         
    example: All service entry sheets with material group 007 are supposed                     
    to be subject to a release strategy. This release strategy requires that                   
    the service entry sheets must be released with release code A1. Only the                   
    cost center manager has the authorization for release code A1.                                                                               
    A) Create a characteristic for the material group:                                                                               
    o  Call Transaction CT04. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:                     
           Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master                     
           Data -> Characteristics)                                                                               
    o  Specify a name for the characteristic, for example CESSR_MATKL,                     
           and choose the 'Create' pushbutton.                                                                               
    o  On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter a description and keep the                      
           'Released' status.                                                                               
    o  On the 'Addnl data' tab page, enter table name CESSR and field                      
           name MATKL (Material group).                                                                               
    o  Enter class type 032 (Release strategy) on the 'Restrictions' tab                   
           page and then save the characteristic.                                                                               
    Note: The release strategy must be based on a field of structure CESSR.                    
    Using Transaction SE11, you can display which other fields are available                   
    in addition to the material group (field MATKL).                                           
    B) Create a class to which you assign the characteristic:                                                                               
    o  Call Transaction CL02. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:                                 
           Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master                                 
           Data -> Classes)                                                                               
    o  Enter a class name, for example FRG_ESSR, and class type 032 (for                               
           release strategy) and then choose the 'Create' pushbutton.                                                                               
    o  On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter any name. (Keep the                                         
           'Released' status.)                                                                               
    o  Enter characteristic CESSR_MATKL on the 'Char.' tab page and then                               
           save the class.                                                                               
    C) Now carry out the required Customizing settings. Follow IMG path

    o  At first, you must create a release group (for example 03). For                  
           that, choose 'Release Groups', then choose 'New Entries', enter                  
           'Rel. Group' = 03 and 'Class' = FRG_ESSR. Save the entry. The                    
           system automatically determines value 3 (for entry of services                   
           performed) for the release object.                                                                               
    o  Now create release code A1 for release group 03. Choose 'New                     
           Entries' and specify the following values: Grp = 03, Code = A1,                  
           and description, for example cost center manager.                                                                               
    o  Create two release indicators, for example A and B. Select the                   
           'Released' field for release indicator B and save the entries.                   
           (Note: A release strategy must at least contain two release                      
           indicators. The first indicator (here A) must be defined as                      
           locked, the last indicator as released. Furthermore, the general                 
           changeability of the service entry sheet and the behavior for                    
           value changes are defined via the release indicators.)                                                                               
    o  Finally create the release strategy. Choose 'New Entries' and                    
           specify the following values: Release group = 03, release                        
           strategy, for example RS, release codes = A1. Assign the two                     
           release indicators A and B via 'Release statuses'. Assign                        
           material group 007 via 'Classification'. Save the release                        
           strategy.                                                                               
    D) Assign the authorization for release code A1 and release group 03 to                     
    the cost center manager. In role maintenance (Transaction PFCG), you can                    
    for example use the default values for Transaction ML85 for that.

  • Release Procedure for Quantity Contract

    Dear All,
    We have a business requirement to ensure that Quantity Contracts are released by the Account Receivable Accountant before the Sales Support Staff can create Sales Orders against them.
    Process : Create Quantity Contract (VA41) -> Release Contract (VKM3)->Create Sales Order (VA01)
    Currently, users can create sales order against the quantity contract before the contract has been released.
    I need guidance on how to implement system control to prevent this creation of Sales Orders before Quantity Contracts are released..
    How can i configure release procedure for quantity contract?
    Any assistance will be appreciated.
    Many Thanks

    Hi
    There is a concept of User Status / Status Management in SAP. By using this you can set status as default that is Blocked, and then the authorised person can release the document, only after that a person can create an Order, with reference to that Contract.
    The Customisation setting is in :- IMG> sales and Distribution>Sales > Sales Document>Define and assign User Profile(T Code is BS02)
    To know more about this you can search the Forum, also check the below given Link:-

  • Release Strategy for contracts.

    Hi gurus,
    Good day,.
    Please help on this.
    We have a release strat for Contract. It is working fine when a contract is created, but when several changes were made on the Quantity, release srtat are not being triggered.
    Example.
    Contact created with qty 1000 --> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    After releasing, quantity was updated to 1200--> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    After releasing, quantity was updated to 1100--> release strategy was not triggered. Status was released.
    what is the standard functionality for this? Should the decrease in quantity will trigger release strategy or not?
    Thank you.

    Dear Acel,
    The example you given was working just fine and correct.
    a)Contact created with qty 1000 --> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    b)After releasing, quantity was updated to 1200--> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
    c)After releasing, quantity was updated to 1100--> release strategy was not triggered. Status was released.
    -> The release strategy will only be reset if the total net value for the contract was higher the previous
    value but not lower.
    As your example, quantity was updated to 1200, then it will reset when changing from 1000
    to 1200. However when it was decrease to 1100, then it will not reset anymore as you had
    release it for a quantity of 1200, then the total net value should higher than the current qty = 1100.
    In system, it always assume if you had approved for the total value of the higher 1 before, then
    it should be fine for the lower total net value for your management and therefore not need to re-approve
    again for redundancy job. This was very logic in common business scenario in many companies.
    However, like in your example , if you had define a different release strategy for a value that met the
    the 1100 quantity, it will redermine the different release strategy. For example:
    USD 1 for every quantity = 1
    Then your contract will be USD 1000 for quantity = 1000, USD 1100 for quantity = 1100 and
    USD 1200 for quantity = 1200.
    Release strategy A for 1000 , characteristics from USD 1000- lower than 1100
    Release strategy B for 1100 , characteristics from USD 1100- lower than 1200
    Release strategy C for 1200 , characteristics from USD 1200 onwards
    Then if you change the quantity from 1200 to 1100, it will redetermine the release
    strategy B which means from Release strategy C to Release strategy B. If you
    only had Release strategy C that had a characteristics from 1000-1200, then
    it will keep the Release strategy C as released and it won't be reset unless
    if you had change it and the condition of the total net value was higher than any value
    before.
    Hope this will explain the logic.

    1. Create characterstics  -Intially you will create characterstics based on which you would like to release a purchase order.
    Charactrestics are like plant, purchase order value,purchase group etc.. Assign characterstics to release class 032.
    2. Create Release group say 01 and create release codes like pm(project manager), gm(general manager) etcc..
    3.  Create a Release starategy say s1 and assign release group to it 01 and release class 032 and department to whom this release stategy applies say MM. define the order of release say first pm followed by gm etc..
    4.  under classfication define value limits for release of purchase order.
    5. define release indicators
    6. simulate the release
    7. assign if there is any workflow.
    hope it helps.

  • Release Procedure for PO not getting applied

    Dear All,
    I have created a Release procedure for PO, for the field  - Order Type. I have defined & followed all the steps i.e., Characteristic, Class, Rel. Groups, Rel. Codes, Rel. indicator & Rel. strategy.
    Then i go to CL20N and assign object to class.
    But when i create a PO & try to release it in ME29N it says 'Purchasing Doc. cannot be released"
    The same release procedure was working fine few days back.
    Kindly let me know if i have missed out some steps or someother settings need to be made.
    Regards,

    hi kedar
    I tried that, still I get the message "No suitable Purchasing Documents found"
    any settings to be checked in characteristics ?
    Hey, and one more thing... everytime I exceute ME28 or ME29n, and later when i try to open Class...... i get an error message "Class type 032: Class <class name> being processed by <username>"
    Then i have to go and delete in the locked entries, only then I can see the Class.

  • PR release procedure for material types

    Hi all,
    I have a question, I created new release procedure for combination :
    1. NB pur.requsition, purchasing group + material type (let sey roh.. etc)
    2. YNB pur.requsition, purchasing groups + material type (ZSTE-001, ZSTE-002, ZSTE-003).
    - 3 characteristcs for pur.groups, doc.type and material type.
    - 1 class
    - 2 release groups (E1 and P1)
    - For release group P1, In rel.strategy in classification I entered values for pur. requisition (NB), purchasing groups (001,002, 003 ect) and material types (ZUSL-001.. ect)
    - For release group E1, in rel. strategy in classification entered values
    values for pur. requisition (YNB), purchasing groups (001,002, 003 ect) and material types (ZSTE-001, ZSTE-002, ZSTE-003)
    So, problem is that if I enter pur.requisition YNB and material type ZSTE-001, needs release; if I add item with material type ZUSL-001, there is no release.
    How can I restrict the values so that is giving error if by mistake is entered between material types ZSTE-001, ZSTE-002, ZSTE-003 material type ZUSL-001 in document type YNB, which is not allowed to be entered?
    Thanks in advance,
    Anchi

    Hello
    In PR you can set up this release strategy without classification release strategy.
    w/o classification strategy you can define the release line item wise. so you can give diiff materual group you can enter with line item wise.

  • With classification release procedure for PO

    Dear Experts ,
    here one issue is with classification release procedure for PO
    when I create characteristics
    in Additional data
    table name :-- Cekko field name  :-- match code
    enter
    click all sec charars then which block I select to go next screen
    and fill name is right or ?
    please help me

    hi,
    in additional data field you have to give the field name of characteristic you are maintaining. like if you want to maintain characteristic as document type of the PO then we have to give the field name for document type mentioned in table CEKKO i.e. BSART.
    then you have to do the value assignment. here you have to tick the check box for "NOT READY FOR INPUT".
