In release strategy unrelease should happen from higher level
Dear Users,
In our release strategy we want to make changes like whenever user want to unrelease it should happen from higher hierarchy to bottom level as vice versa of release process. If there is any solution for this process please provide your suggestions.
Thanks,
Manoj
Hi,
For restriction from higher hierarchy to bottom level, refer similar blog

Release strategy: User should release only with his highest release code
Hello,
Because of personel absences we want to configure the release strategy so that:
User A or user B releases in the normal case the first level of a PO (with release code 01).
User C (Manager) releases after release code 01 with release code 02.
User A is deputy of user C. In this case user B will release with code 01 and user A will release with code 02.
Because user A can use depending of the case release code 01 or 02 (C deputy) it must be avoided that user B sets release code 01 and 02 for the same purchase order.
Do you know about a solution for this issue
Br
ManuelDear W1N,
But the systems knows that A released with code 01 and when A tries to release with code 02 the system knows that the same person of release code 01 is trying with release code 02.
<b>The aim is to avoid the second release from the same person and not to automate the release strategy.</b>
In such a case A has to cancel the release for code 01 (ME28) and wait until B is reachable to do the release of code 01.
When C is absent A knows that his task is to release code 02.
Is this check really not possible?
Best regards

Release strategy for PREQs created from PM work order
Hi All,
I have an issue with determining release strategy for purchase requisition for external services created via PM work order (iw31 transaction).
We have activated release strategy for Purchase requisition based on the following characteristics:
CEBAN_PLANT
CEBAN_COST_CENTER_GROUP
CEBAN_MANUAL
Characteristic CEBAN_COST_CENTER_GROUP is defined via user exit based on the cost center used in the PREQ and a z table which contains all cost centers mapped to the corresponding cost center goups.
In the user exit we have consider to cases:
The first one is when a purchase requisition is created with account assignment K (cost center) then system is checking the z table and determines the right cost center group.
The second case is when a purchase requisition is created with account assignment F (internal order) then based on the order type and number the cost center in the order is defined and based on it the corresponding entry in the z table cost center group is assigned.
The third case is when purchase requisition for services is created automatically from PM work order. In this case the PREQ is again with account assignment F, but at the time when user exit is checking the input parameters the real number of the work order does not exist and system can not defined the other parameters.
We have defined for this requisitions in the release strategy for characteristic CEBAN_MANUAL creation indicator " F".
Has anybody of you defined release strategy for PREQs created out of work order before. How did you manage to trigger the release strategy?
Best Regards,
DesislavaHi,
For PM order find the costcenter in the settlement rule of the order or else find the costcenter in the Location tab of the order.
Consider this filed from order & write in the Z program to pick up the costcenter from there to find out the cost center group.

Purchase order release strategy based on over delivery tolerance level
Hi Boss,
I like to set the Purchase order release strategy based on the over delivery tolerance. But when i checking, the over delivery tolerance filed UEBTO is not in the communication structure CEKKO. Can you please help me how should i extend the CEKKO with field UEBTO.
I do not have the ABAP experience, please guide me with coding.
Thank you,
SivaHi Siva:
You should request the development key for this structure under your SAP system, then you can add the extra fields in CEKKO.
Good luck

APO DP: Disaggregation to product&plant level from higher levels.
Hi.
We do demand planning on groups of products and for country/region in general, we have around 48.000 CVC's in our current setup. It works very well.
A new situation has arisen where we need to have the forecast split down to product and plant level.
As is we simply don't have the information at this level of granularity.
I don't see how we can add for instance product to our setup, we have around 20.000 products so the number of CVC's in DP would become massive if we did this.
I was thinking that perhaps something could be done by exporting the relevant key figures to a new DP setup with fewer characteristics (to keep the number of CVC's down) via some infocubes, perhaps some disaggregation could be done via some tables and the BW update rules. This still leaves the issue of how to get the figures properly disaggregated to plant and product though.
Does anyone have experiences on how to get the figures split to lower levels from DP when you're planning on a higher level?Simon,
One approach as you mentioned can be creating Z Table where in you set up disaggregation proportion from product group level to product level or product location level.
Product Group X 100 Product A@loc1 10
Product B@loc1 90
Download your planning area data into infocube C and then use BW routines to convert the data from group in infocube C to lower level refereing Z Table....into another infocube..
SAP also provides such standard functionality of spliting the aggregate Demand plan to detailed level
SNP plan..through functionality like location slit or product split.
Essential you will be using same concept in yor BW solution or you may also want to consider the
release your DP to SNP planning area its as solution of diaggregation of data to lower level.

CALC DIM or AGG - Can we aggregate from higher levels?
Hello everyone,
We have a custom dimension called LOCATION, under which we have Continents ASIA and EUROPE. Under ASIA and EUROPE we again have countries (India & England) under which there are states. Now data may be entered at a Continent level or Country level. If we do a normal AGG or CALC DIM operation, the higher level data will get overwritten since aggregation is done on a bottom up basis from zero level members.
Can we aggregate from a higher level (say Country or Continent) in the dimension up to the Location level (i.e. override the default zero level up aggregation) ?
PS: Creating a dummy member would not be an elegant solution, since I have presented the problem in a much simplified way, and there are many level of hierarchies - and a dummy will be required under each hierarchy level.
Any suggestion would be of great help.
Thanks..
SayantanI know you are against creating dummy members but if you don't there is no way to know for sure you are aggregating correctly. Most people want to see the dummy members just so they know why the parent doesn't equal the sum of all the children.
We have a million+ member customer dim. Quite a few of them are loaded at the parent level. Our parent child hierarchy (not dim) gets built from the fact table+dim. So if the etl finds a record in the fact table that has children in the dim table it creates the dummy member to load the data to. This has worked well for us. Good luck.

Transfering PIR from higher level.
Hi.
i am having a problem here. mine is discrete manufacturing process.i am using VC. few of my components are common to 3 ferts in the BOM. one of the fert is a VC material. i dont want the reqirements to be transvered for the VC material to the raw materials. but i want the requirements to be transvered from other two ferts to the raw material.
how do i restrict the transver of reqirements for only one material.Hi,
You maintain following Material Master settings for your FERT VC materials as below:
1.For Not Transferring dependent requirements to lower level of FERT:
maintain 1 Materials for dependent requirements are not planned
in Material Master--> MRP-4 View->MRP Dep Requirements
2.For Not Transferring dependent requirements to lower level of FERT:
maintain (Blank) Materials for dependent requirements are planned
in Material Master--> MRP-4 View->MRP Dep Requirements
Save above settings for respective FERT materials and then try with MRP Run.
Hope your problem resolves.

Need to activate release strategy for PR from PS(a/c assignment N)
Dear experts,
I need to establish release strategy in PR raised from Project System. PR account assignment in 'N'= network. PR will be differentiated PR value wise . Please help in this regards,
Thank you.
Kind regards,
ZusenHi
You already have account assignment category (KNTTP) in communication structure CEBAN. You can use it to define your release strategy. If you wan to use field which is not there in CEBAN then you need to append CEBAN with the help of apaper.
Use this link as an example for release procedure and create your own with KNTTP.

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.

Release Strategy and workflow in Purchase Requisition
Hello All,
My client wants to activate the release strategy and workflow at the purch req and PO levels. They allow users to create a Preq and reference that preq to the PO, or users may create a PO without referencing a Preq. Since they have the release strategy and workflow working on both levels, what they want done is, if a PO has a Preq reference, it does not need to go through another approval process on the PO level as it has already been approved on the Preq level. Therefore if a Preq is reference in a PO, the PO workflow and release strategy should not be taken into account. Can this happen as a standard config, or will this need a "user exit"?
Thanks in advance for your help!!You will need to activate the user exit. This will keep the PO release strategy simple.
Have a flag (use USRC1 or USRN1). In your PO release strategy classification, maintain only X in this characteristic.
In the user exit, check whether the PO is created with reference to PR. If yes, pass "blank" to USRC1, else pass "X". The release will be triggered only in case of X.
Just a couple of points:
1) What will you do if one item in PO is created with reference to PR and the another item is not?
2) What will you do if one item is partially referenced to PR (i.e PR quantity is 100, PO quantity is 200 - of which 100 is referenced to PR and other 100 is not - this is possible by changing in delivery schedule)?
Hope this helps

Autorization of release and derelease in ME29N in release strategy tab.
Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where the authorization has to be given to a list of user maintained in my ztable for RELEASE CODE (T16FS-FRGCO = 01).
For rest of the release codes in release strategy it should work as the standard process. if the processor in release stategy tab and sy-uname are same then the system should allow to relase or derealse the PO and save it.
But for RELEASE C ODE 01 i'm maintaing the ztable and checking that if user name maintained in my ztable and sy-uname are same then system should allow to realse, derelase and save the PO.
I'm writing my code in EXIT_SAPMM06E_006 -- Include ZXM06U36 for this check but it is not working for me.
Please let me know the EXIT or the correct way of doing it.
Thanks,
NaveenHi Jai,
Try this exist:
Enhancement M06B0002 EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 ZXM06U13 Changes to comm. structure for purchase requisition release
Sample code:
*Check the authorization.
* This is to set the e_cekko-usrc1 = 'Y' be excluded from the Release Strategy check.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
e_cekko = i_cekko.
e_cekko-usrc1 = 'Y'.
ENDIF.
Some alternative Exits:
Enhancement M06B0005 Changes to comm. structure for overall release of requisn.
Enhancement M06B0001 Role determination for purchase requisition release
i hope this may helpfull.
Thank you,
Thanks,

IF there are two release strategy, How it will work?
Hi, Can u Please help, if we have two release strategy, and PO first gets blocked by one release strategy, if we release that PO and check for the another release strategy, it is possible in ABAP? and How? Which Function module or BAPI we have to use for checking both the releasing strategies, If PO gets blocked by one release strategy and it is released from that particular release strategy, PO should get blocked by another release strategy, HOW this works? Kindly HELP!

Release Strategy Triggered even if the characteric values were not correct.
Hi,
I have configured release strategy based on characteristics
Purchasing group and
Document type
It has 2 release indicators with 3 levels of release.
There are 2 release strategies assigned to same group 01 but have different release codes namely 01,02,03,04
Release Strategy A1has
Doc type NB and Purchasing group 120
Release Strategy A2 has
Doc type ZINT and Purchasing groups 130,131,132,134,135,136,137,138,139
However a strange thing happened.The release strategy was triggered for doc type NB and Purchasing group 190.
This purchasing group is not listed in either of the 2 strategies
Can any one explain why the release strategy got triggered?That means the old release strategy is not cleraed from the system
do one test
Go to CL30N tocde and enter you release class and class type 032
hit enter
now here enter the value of your char which is in the PO and hit Find in initial class from header
see which release strategy is pulled by the system
here you will see the release strategy and make sure that is not other than what you expect -
PO release strategy - release code
Hi Experts,
I have completed the release strategy and transported to production.
However noticed that the release codes that has been configured earlier wasn't in the production.
Is there a way to update the release codes in the production besides using SPRO (no authorisation for maintaining - only display) like using CL24N to update the characteristics?
Thanks and regardsHi,
Please first check the attached notes that refer to transport issues.
365604 FAQ: Release strategies in purchasing
186809 OMGQ/CL24: Inconsistency for release strategy class
86900 Transport of Release strategies (OMGQ,OMGS)
45951 Transporting class data: system / client
10745 Copying classification data to another client
The classification data must be sent over using ALE. It does not get
transported directly. Notes 45951, 86900 and note 365604 should help.
Please follow the instructions in note 45951.
You can obtain more information about how to set-up ALE in the Online
Documentation CD (R/3 Library > CA - Cross Aplication Components >
Business Framework Architecture > ALE Integration Technology > ALE Quick
start).
However, if you can't set-up ALE, you can re-create the classification
data agin in your target system. For that you have to:
1- assign new values to the characteristic master data (t-code CT02)
2- assign the new data to the classification system (t-code CL30)
3- verify the consistency with t-code CL24. Please see note 186809.
For more information, please see note 365604.
The transport of release procedure customizing data can only be done
in a restricted manner. Please take a look at attached Note 86900 and
follow the procedure described in this note, in order to correctly
transport your release strategies.
Classification data can only be transported via ALE as per note 45951.
Note 45951 explains what class data for the release strategy will be
distributed from one system to another. It does not describe how to
implement as this involves a lot of explanation and is truely a
consulting issue.
There is another possibility that you could take into consideration for
the classification is to import them via batch input:
RCCTBI01 for creating characteristics
RCCLBi01 for creating classes
RCCLBI03 for classification
