Generation of Output after Final release of Purchase Order

Hello
When a PO is subject to release procedure the output for the PO is only generated and sent  when the PO has been finally approved. I would like to know is this sap standard internal feature or do we need to configure it.
If it is standard then can some throw light on what happens on background?
If it needs customization please let me know the customization details?
Regards
Mohammed

Hi,
Out put of the PO is something to do with the Release Indicator assigned for each state of release of the document.This indicator if is blocked state of a PO it prevents from outputing the message .If the indicator has the status Released by way of releasing by the concerned user than the same can be outputed.
If the PO is subject to a release strategy, it must normally be released before it can be transmitted to the vendor. Therefore, when a PO is created, it is assigned a release indicator that blocks it from being outputted in message form.
This I think is a standard behaviour of the system.

  • Restriction of revoke after final release

    Hi experts,
    After final release of purchasing document lets say PR or PO user should not be able to revoke it.
    Any suggestions highly appreciated apart from getting it done  through user exit.
    Regards,
    Maverick

    Dear Ramesh,
    Thanks for your response.
    I have already set changeability to 1 but my concern is after PR final approval if a PO is created with its reference then in this PR user should not be able to revoke or cancel an approval.
    I think we can do this with user exit but is there any other alternative?

  • Changeability of PO after final release

    Dear Gurus,
    My client requirement is, PO should not be able to be changed once final release has happened. They should be able to change only after revoking the final release and again releasing it.
    So, if I put changeability of Release indicator as "1", it will not allow to do any changes after final release including revoking the PO once it is outputted. How to resolve this?
    Thanks,
    Satish

    See the changeability option under Release group
    1     Cannot be changed
    2     Changeable, no new determination of strategy
    3     Changeable, new release in case of new strategy
    4     Changeable, new release in case of new strat. or val. change
    5     Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted
    6     Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/outputted
         Changeable, new release in case of new strategy
    to my understanding option 4 is more relevant to your requirement

    Dear Rajesh,
    You may define as Field Selection Key for your PR release indicator via customizing:
    SPRO
    MM -PUR-PR-Release procedure-Procedure with classification
    - Set Up Procedure with Classification
    -Release indicator
    -Now choose your final release indicator
    -Fill in FSK:
    Example:
    Field Selection Key      FZ01
    Now add this FSK to your customizing via screen layout:
    SPRO:
    MM-PUR-PR
    -> Define screen layout at doc level
    -> Add your FSK to this customizing and customize

  • Eror when release the purchase order

    hello,
    any body pls explain me. my client requires when they going to release the purchase order it should check the chapter id. if it is not maintained it should allow to release. is it possible. it yes please explain me.
    thaks
    bhakta

    The message you are looking for is actually available only for me21 &
    not for ME21N due to technical constraints.
    However you can make use of the following logic & customise the message
    to appear during PO creation through me21n.
    This is how the system works as of now. In ME21 this can be captured
    as an error message and the sytem displays it so. In ME21N the
    output of message is on the 'last in first out' process. In this case if
    there are any standard messages then the particular CIN message would
    not be shown. In case there are no other messages then this message
    is shown out. Customers can capture this mesage on a priority basis
    by making some adjustments at the time of display of this message
    in function module J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE.
    You can write your own code to display the 'chapter id missing' error.
    In 'FV64A352' include program, we are calling the function module
    'J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE'.In this module we are getting the
    'chapter id missing' exception when chapter id is not maintained for
    a material.So in 'FV64A352' just after this function module call, you
    can catch this exception(chapter_id_missing     = 1) and display your
    own error message there.
    This will be a customer modification from SAP standard, so please think twice before going ahead

  • Release Strategy - Purchase Order

    hi,
    Few points:
    1. Po can be released only at header level..
    2. For configuartion, go to SPRO >> IMG >> MM >> Purchasing >> PO >> define release strategy for PO >>
    here you shd set up your new release strategy ...for that you need to edit characteristics, class...
    first maintain your characteristics ie. from "EDIT characteristics" ...here create your own characteristics and enter the suitable data here...enter class type '032' for the same...
    reference the fields from CEKKO structure...and add your require release relevent fields...
    then go to EDIT CLASS...here define your new class and maintain same class type as 032...
    3. After this maintain release strategy...click on release group option..go inside...link your req. release group to class...so that the classified characteristics will seems while releasing the document...
    4. Maintain release codes...
    5. maintain release indicator...
    6. then maintain inside Release strategy tab...
    here define you already maintain group and codes...maximum 7 rel. codes are possible...
    then maintain preriquisite...
    In side classification, maintain the fields based on which you wanna release the PO...
    and maintain the other req. things on diff. tabs...
    7. after doing this check your rel. strategy at OMGSCK tcode ie. given in tree path at same place inside SPRO path define above..
    Try making a PO and check whether its working or not...

  • Create custom data when releasing a Purchase Order

    Hello people,
    The customer uses ME28 to release the Purchase Order.
    They have, for instance, two release estrategies: W1/01 and W2/02, that differ about the price.
    The scenario is:
    When the customer releases a Purchase order from W2/02 strategy using ME28 transaction, we need to do some verifications in Z tables and create a record in another Z table. If for some reason the purchase order will not be released, this Z data does not have be saved.
    And if some error occurs and the data don´t be saved, the estrategy must remain blocked (not released).
    In which EXIT is the best point to do this?
    Thanks a lot!

    hey
    try these 2 user exits
    MM06E005 - ZXM06U43 which is called from exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. This code is hit at the time you check or save.

  • Modify the output medium log for SRM Purchase order

    Hi, I'm using a FM BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI to modify the output medium of the SRM purchase order. Though it is displaying it in the header level output medium ( radio buttons )
    the document output log holds the old value. Is there a way to modify/update the output log to hold the changed output medium?

    Prasanna,
    Is this to block the PO's being sent to vendors temporarily? We had similar requirement and we were able to do it by updating table BBPD_PO_METAOUT. SAP Note 659386 has more information on it.

  • Change in Expected Delivery date (EDD) field in the PO after final release

    Hello Experts,
    There is a business requirement, whereby after PO final release is completed & when the PO is released for further processing, no further changes should be possible, except for the expected delivery date (EDD) field in the Delivery schedule tab of the PO Item details. Other than this, no changes should be possible in the PO, neither qty, nor price, not even the simple PO text should be allowed to get changed. In other words no field should be allowed to change.
    Ideally, except the EDD field, other all fields should be in grey mode, or atleast changes in any of the PO fields (except EDD) should not be allowed to get saved after the PO is final released.
    Please let me know if SAP provides any such facility, whereby you can selectively choose certain fields (like EDD field) on which Release Strategy should not be applied & changes should be allowed in these fields even after PO final release.
    Thanks in advance,
    Zafar.

  • ME28 Cancel release of purchase order

    Hello,
    when I try to perform a cancellation of a release of a PO I get an error message:
    ME 175 Document already treated. Function not possible
    It should be possible to cancel the release of alll released purchase orders. Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    please read the following:
                                                                                    Note 493900 /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.                                                                               
    Please note AT LEAST ONE message type has NOT been printed out with                         
    ME28.                                                                               
    Alternatively, you can try the following:                                                                               
    - Transaction: SPRO                                                                         
    ->MM->Purchasing->PO->Release procedure for PO                                              
    ->Define relesae procedure for PO                                                           
    ->Release Strategies                                                                        
    ->Release Status                                                                               
    - choose the button release indicator and                                                   
    5   Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted                                       
    6   Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/outputted
    - go into transaction ME22(N)                                                       
    - you will get the warning message 06 684 stating                                   
    'Releases already effected are liable to be reset'                                  
    - change the price and save the p.o.. Now a change message will be                  
    created and will be send to the vendor again.                                       
    - Please note that the release strategy will only be reset if the price             
    is increased. When it is decreased it won't be reset. But in both                   
    cases a change message will be created and send to the vendor.                      
    - after the change of the p.o. you will have to release it again. After             
    the release the change message will be printed.                                                                               
    Hope this will help to solve the issue,
    regards,
