Email Alert for Purchase Order Release

Hi,
When a PO is subject to release I would like an external email to be sent to the relevant user as per assignments in config.
I have used standard workflow for PO release and this is working with no problems, alerts successfully going to the workflow inbox.
But does anyone know the steps to configure the standard workflow so that an external email is sent?
Thanks

hi
WORKFLOW FOR PO RELEASE PROCEDURE
Steps involved are :
1) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes > here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code
2) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow > Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.
3) Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,
4) Click on "activate event linking"
5) Go for "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button. Activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue"
and Save.
6) Click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.
BUS2012 is the relevant business object and Releasestep created is the event for the same.
7) Check SWETYPV transaction for the WF you have activated for BUS2012 and confirm.
Test the same by creating a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

Creating workflow for purchase order release.

Hi friends
I want step by step detail about creation of workflow for purchase order release..
After release purchase order it will goes to the two level of approval..
after that the workflow should be completed...
how can i develope the workflow for that scenario..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi Gowrishankar,
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
<b>Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075</b>
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhakar Dharmala

Account assigment category for purchase order release stratery

Dear Experts,
This question is with regard to setting up a release stratergy for a purchase order.
We have a business requirement that requires different PO release stratergies based on account assignment category (EKPO-KNTTP).
However the stucture CEKKO for PO release does not contain this variable for me to create a characteristic.
Is there any other way to get this done?
Regards,
Ishan.

it may not be possible in standard SAP since account assignment happens at item level .
you may have to use user exit M06E0004 to populate user field USRC1 with knttp data. of p.o.
i assume your PO will have same account assignment for each line item since you can put only 1 value

Repeat email output for purchase order

Hi all,
    I have an email output (ZMAL)) that sends a notification from purchase order when the total value exceed $50,000 at creation of PO. This works fine. However, during ME22N, when the total po value goes from intial $30,000 to $60,000, at saving, it should email out a notification but it does not as initial output ZMAL was created at po creation.
Q: How can i get the notification to send out automatically the second time or third time when the condition exceeding $50,000
     is   met ?
If i create another output ZMAL manually in PO, then i can resend ZMAIL.
The condition checking is made in   'EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 in Include ZXM06U43.
Pls provide any suggestions you have.
thanks
Joyce

Hi,
Does the output type get triggered for the first time automatically? Instead of writing the condition in enhancement, it is recommended to write the output type determining conditions in Output type Requirement routine.
NACE -> Select application -> Click on Procedures -> select procedure -> Click on Control -> Insert record for the output type -> Create routine and assign .
Check standard output procedure of Purchase order "RMBEF1" to get an idea.

Alert For Purchase order

Hi All,
I need an alert to be triggered in the system when ever a purchase order reaches its due date and GRPO is still not created in the system. How can this be possible??i tried this but its not workin.
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[DocDate], T0.[DocDueDate], T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName] FROM OPOR T0 WHERE T0.[DocDueDate] = getdate ()
Thanks,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Try this... I checked working properly
SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.DocDate, T0.DocDueDate, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName
FROM OPOR T0
WHERE T0.DOCSTATUS='O' AND CONVERT(VARCHAR,(T0.Docduedate),103) >= CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),103)
If you want to check linewise PO (Multiple items and partial grpo)
SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.DocDate, T0.DocDueDate, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName,Itemcode
FROM OPOR T0 INNER JOIN POR1 T1 ON T0.Docentry=T1.Docentry
WHERE T1.LINESTATUS='O' AND CONVERT(VARCHAR,(T0.Docduedate),103) = CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),103)

No of levels in purchase order release more than 8

Dear All,
We have a situation where some of our purchase orders need to be approved by more than 8 people.Can any one help me in telling-> whether we can create release strategies having more than 8 levels of approvals.If yes how to do it since I could see only max of 8 levels of approvals in the release strategy configuration for purchase order(release strategy with classification).
Regards,
Feroz Choudhury

Hello,
As mentioned by Uttkarsh, It is not possible to go beyond 8 levels in release strategy.
More than 8 levels of approval is not a best practice, if your requirement still demands this explore the options of using Workflow functionalities in ECC or if approval is complex suggest SRM where you can handle n-level approval.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Purchase order -- release strategy

Dear Friends,
I have a requirement for Purchase order Release.
The problem area is in purchase order ... there will be 2 Relase approvals
01 Mr. Abcd
02 Mr. Xyz
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.
This is to be done on top priority.
Please help me.
Cheers
Jitesh.

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).
Hope it is useful for you.

Purchase Order release procedure

Hi All,
My client is having following requirement for Purchase Order release procedure.
Plant 1                    -    1 Release code (Manager)
Plant 2             -    2 Release Codes (Manager, Sr Manager)
Plant 3             -    3 Release Codes (Purchase Officer, Manager, Sr Manager)
All plants are assigned to one company code. Please advise me how I can map above requirement in sap.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagi

Hi Nagi,
In PO Realease startegy configuration, you need to decide and select the Release objects for which the system should trigger release for the document. you should work with Characteristics for each object (Your requirement is for 3plants) so in one of your characteristic WERKS should be your field along with other characteristics based on your requirements such as Total Net Value, Doc type etc.
Create Characteristics in CT04 for the class type 032 and proceed maintaining the release Group and Release codes as per your requirement.
Refer the following thread and revert if any confusions...
