How to configure release strategy in case of document parking ?
Hi experts,
I have a requirement wherein i have to create a workflow with four level approval when a document is parked before it can be posted.
The approval is by company code,reacon code and the amount .For example for a particular reason code for particular amount one person has to approve,if the amount is greater then 2 people have to approve, so on.
Is it possible to configure such a release strategy in SPRO ?
Kindly help,
thanks in advance,
regards
Ashwin
If it are FI Invoice you're talking about, it's possible.
Do you have access to the best practices of Public sector management ? There's an example on how to implement an FI workflow.
If not, check workflows on the object FIPP

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,
bhaskarHi,
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.

New Release Strategy in case of PO amendment
Dear All,
We have the release strategy at PO level on 3 parameters,
Purchasing Group, Value and Document type.. for each parameter we have created the characteristics EKKO- EKGRP, EKKO-BSART, EKKO-GNETW. Till date system is working ok and trigreeeing the release strategy as per it should.
When ever users edit the PO, again system sets the release strategy as per above logic.
Now our requiremet is, when ever user edite the PO value or PO quantity, system should trigger a new release strategy.I come to know that, SAP have a provision to maintain the release strategy on "Version level also", I have tried the same but i facing one problem, when we try to create the characteristic based on Version , system creates it and put field name "REVNO", data types is coming "CHAR".
Can any one send me a user manual and steps for this.
Thanks in advance,.
VikasHi,
You can set a control within Config. there is a parameter called as release indicator.
Follow this IMG path:
SPRO> Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Release indicator
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
Changeability of purchasing document during/after release which means how the system reacts if an internal or external purchasing document is changed after the start of the release procedure.
Note that the values 1 to 4 apply to internal purchasing documents (purchase requisitions) and the values 1 bis6 to external purchasing documents.
So you would need to set this Indicator for the specific release Id. which specifies whether the purchasing document can be processed in or is blocked for follow-on functions.
Hope this explanation was clear.

Hi Friends,
I have a issue to fix. The issue is releated to PR.
There are some PR's in the system which has wrong release strategy picked up or wrong approvers picked up due to some congif change. now that the config changes are rectified correctly, we need to find a solution to correct the PR's which got affected due this.
I have to retrigger the release strategy for all the affected PR's.
The characterstics which we have consider for release strategy is Document Type, Company Code and Price Range.
Can anyone suggest how can we retrigger the PR in bulk or individual to all the affected PR's, so that it picks up correct release strategy as per new config changes.
Regards,
Manjunath KHi,
Refer the discussion to triggers release again on release code addition/change in release strategy.
release code is changed on PR release strategy - old PR can´t be approved

PR overall release strategy (with shared PR document types)
We are asked to configure 'overall' PR release for some of the plants of our client.Now ,we know, this needs to be configured in two places in SPRO. One, in release group definition & two, document type (PR) definition. Our issue is that the doc types involved here is shared by some other plants as well who doesn't need 'overall' release. Is it possible to configure the requirement without disturbing the unwilling plants ?
Hi ,
The PR release strategy can be done at Item level also ,which has to be set that the PR has to be released at item level and after doing it ,all the item values can become characteristics values for the release strategy
The Plant can be taken as one of the characteristic.
The view CEBAN gives all the related views.
check the below LInk for Futher information on the same.

hope so it helps

Release Strategy in purchase order document type
Hi Gurus..
I'm tring to tweak the single RS in the system.
I've set the charcteristic using table CEKKO field BSART, restriction 032, I've set two document types as the Characteristic Value (ZLOG - ZADM). Then I´ve set the class with this characteristic, Created Release Groups & linked to class , Created Release Codes, Release Indicator, and Set up strategies
.. but It doesn´t pick any release strategy.
The funny thing is if I delete the document types values entered in CL20N it works for all doc typs, but if I set the docs types that it should take to pick the RS it doesn't work at all...
Please advice..I´m not such a abapper but I guess there is not values taken to ekko, does it ring a bell?

How to configure a new third party sales document type?
Hi SAP SD gurus,
I am new to the SAP world, I need your help in configuring a new third party sales document type for a site.
There are existing third party document types being used in the region, but the client wants an entirely new third party document type that is activated for CREDIT MANAGEMENT.
I just need your inputs, as how to go about it. If I copy from an existing third party sales doc. What additional steps do I need to follow? Like Item category config, copy control settings, and credit management.
Is there a need to create new billing types?
Also as per process, by creating a new document type, how will it affect the logistic processes, if any?
Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable inputs.Hello,
You can create new document type under following customization path
SPRO>>Sales and Distribution>>Sales>>Sales Documents>>Define Sales Document Types
Now create new document type by copying the standard document type OR
Now go to
SPRO>>Sales and Distribution>>Sales>>Sales Documents>>Sales Document Item>>Define Item Categories
which is already defined for third party sales (TAS)
Now assign this iteme category to your new document type
SPRO>>Sales and Distribution>>Sales>>Sales Documents>>Sales Document Item>>Assign Item Categories
Assignment needs to be done in combination of sales document type and item category group (BANS)
Now
SPRO>>Sales and Distribution>>Sales>>Sales Documents>>Schedule Lines
Assignment of schedule line is already done as you are using the standard one.
Lastly, you may need to maintain copy control for your newly created sales document type for this go to
SPRO>>Sales and Distribution>>Sales>>Maintain Copy Control for Sales Documents
(Copying Control: Sales Document to Sales Document)
Here you can define copy control requirements.

Release Strategy in MM PO document
Hi,
Could you please any one can clear my doubt in Release Procedure for P.O/PR. I can configure release procedure two level based on value.
Now my doubt is where these two different users going to get their authority. Is it through Parameter ID using T.code SU01. If so What is the parameter ID (FGB, FGE, FGR, BFC, FAB) and Value I need to maintain for this user.
Kind Regards,
Sankar.KSankar,
For PO releases, the release codes are assined to users in role maintenance (PFCG). So, one user can perform release by using code, which assigned to his role.

Release strategy:ME53N : Older PR documents shows, modified PR rel.strategy
Hi Friends
We have updated the sequence of release codes for certain PR release strategies. But when we moved the changes production, i observe that all the older PR documents (Which were released last year and completed) also shows the updated release strategy in transaction ME52N/ME53N.
Can someone pls some explain? Is this normal?
SAP doesnt store the release strategy and its sequence of release codes, which were determined at the time of document creation?
Thanks for your help...RajHi,
There is no change in the older documents.
The documents are older by few years.
I have checked few documents randomly, the tcode ME53N shows only the updated release strategy.
I did some investigation today on this.
i think system will not keep the release strategy pertaining to document creation.
It will just store Release Group and Release strategy in the Purchase Requisition tables (like EBAN).
And when ever we try to display the document it will go and read the release strategy sequence from relevant tables.
Hope someone helps to validate if my investigation is correct.
Good day.. -
Release strategy behavior for purchase documents
Hi all,
I'm working at a company that recentily has implanted SAP. We noticed last week that the approved documents, like PR, PO, RFQ etc.. can be modified by the users and that documents doesn't modify its approval status, I mean, they remains approved.
I'd like to know if is there any standard way to configure the SAP to not allow any modification in an approved document, or if an approved document has been modified, it resets its approval status to pending approval again.
Thanks in advanced,

For this, Use OLME -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Release Procedure for Purchase Order --> Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders -> Release Indicator chose the last level for Changeability as "1 Cannot be changed"
