Is it advisable to release PR at header level

Hi SAP Experts,
Is it advisable to release PR at header level?
If yes, then what can be the drawback.
And can you advise me any setting with which cancellation of PR & PO can be avoidable.
Thanks & Regards,
Anisha Sinha

Hi,
If the material is Directs then it is not an issue to have the release strategy for PR at header level.. just being a regular material for the procurement...
But, in case of Indirects procurement... it is not advisable to have the relase strategy at header level... reason being you need to check the individual items and then only release them...
Coming to your second question, you can have release indiactor "5" with "1" in changeable field... this would not allow you to make any change PR/PO once it is relased. But, it is not really advisable to use this kind of strategy...

Purchase order release only at header level?

Hello all,
does anyone knows a method or workaround to allow implementation a release strategy based on the positions
of a purchase order (like the posibilities in purchase requisition's customizing).
I can't find anything that helps further, only a customer development seems to be the solution.
The goal is, to route a workflow on position based cost center and account responsibilities.
There is only a field for PO release status in the table EKKO, not in EKPO. For the PR, there is a correspondig
field in the table EBAN.
Thanks for incoming answers!
Jens

Hi Diego,
sorry, my error! Thank you for your hint, but i can't find ad hoc the matching forum on sdn.
Yes, i'm talking about MM, in detail the customizing of
the purchasing process (procurement).

Release of PO at header level

why is that we release PR at "ITEM" leval and PO at "HEADER" level ???
is that because PO is been created with reference to a specific vendor so we do it in the header level
in PR we issue it for all the materials so it is done at item level
is tht the right explanation or do we have any ?? please help
regards
Pavan

Hi,
PR is an internal document. Suppose if you have 3 line items in a PR you will release 1 line item and PO can be created for the particular line item (PO with reference to PR).
Where in PO is an external document and has to be released at Header level.

Why release strategies for PO at header level only

We have release strategy for Purchase Requisitions and Purchasing documents like PO, Contract and SA.
In case of PREQ we have a choose for either item level release or header level release, whereas in case of PO, Contract and SA only header level release is possible.
My question is why SAP has provided only the header level Release Strategy for PO, Contract and SA? I wan to know the reason and logic behind this.

Hi,
For PR's, there is no header level data. Becuause vendor number is optional since it is internal document from the user dep. to pur org. That's why, vendor number fields is at item level in the source of supply screen. But this is optional field.
That's why, you can release PR line items one by one or all at a time.
If you are releasing all line items at a time, need header level release.
If you release line item by line item, need item level release.
But in the case PO/Contract/SA, these are final reference documents and sending to the vendor as external documents.
That's vendor number is at header level field and line item in the PO are related to the single vendor.
That's why u cann't release line item by item, i.e., item level release.
You can relase all the items in the PO or u can reject entire PO, not a single line item.
That's why, only header level release is possible for the PO/Contract/SA.

Purchase Requisition Release at Header Level

Hi MM experts,
We are on ERP6. Can we activate purchase requisition release at header level (ie overall requisition dollar level - sum total of all requisition line items) just for one business (company code) without affecting rest of client which uses release strategy at requisition line item level?
Is it possible to share the same document type, e.g. NB that is used by other business?
Many thanks.
Thomas

With the release procedure with out classification , it is possible to release the PR at header level based on the value of the PR . In determination of release strategy , you can maintain the value , currency and release stratergy .
But to restrict this to a particular comany code , you may use the exit M06B0002 where in you can write the logic .

Header Level Release Requisition

Hi,
The purchase requisition WS00000038 is for item wise release. But they need header level release. Is there any standard workflow ?? I dont find any, so i created custom workflow and everything is ok. But when i create the PR, the workitem goes to everyone. I've marked General Task. For standard wf, it works properly, but not for my workflow. It is not picking the agent from Release Strategy settings. Do we need to give the custom wf no anywhere to pick the correct agent ??

What you have done in Release Strategies, can you explain.?
What is the Path? Where you have mentioned Agents in RS for Requisition?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/1d/ea9d9c7aca11d194b70000e82dec10/frameset.htm
Make in SPRO for Purchase Requisition:
SPRO-> MM>Purchasing->Purchase Requisition-->Release procedure->Procedure with classification-> set up procedure with classification-> double click on Release strategies
and aslo
double click on Workflow

PR (Header level) release strategy not working

Hi all,
I have configured release procedure for PR - Header level release(i.e. With classification). My scenario is as below,
If PR value is <=1000 INR and Plant 1000 Two persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1 and A2.
If PR value is >1000 INR and Plant 1000 Three persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1,A2 and A3.
i have created Two charac(for Plant and Value), one class(Assigned the characs to it), one group, 3 release codes, and 2 Release stratergies (i.e.S1 and S2). All the settings are fine. But when I create PR, system takes only the first Release stratergy by default. That is irrespective of the valuation price in PR system by default takes S1 release stratergy only. Even for higher value PR system is not taking S2 stratergy. I have given correct values in the classification field. Why does this happen? Release procedure without classification is not configured.
Note: I have even ticked overall release for document type NB
Any inputs? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ayyappan.

Hi all,
One thing is clear now. System is not all considering the value characteristics. Its only considering Plant character(WERKS). Thats why by default its taking first release stratergy since both have plant value as 1000 in classification view.
Just now i checked by using sinlge character. For release class with plant as character the release procedure is working fine but for class with value as character release is not at all getting hit.
Note:
1.My company code currency is EUR. My characteristic currency is USD. While i create PR in valuation price system by default selects EUR. I am manually changing it to USD. Is that correct?
2. Still my new posting period is not yet open.
Is there the problem is somethig related to above?

How to set the overall credit status as "partial release" on SO header?

Hey guys,
Do you have any idea on how did the overall credit status become "partial release" on sales order header level?
Because as my understanding in SAP, i am not sure whether there is a way to partial release a sales order with multiple item lines.
Jasper

Hi balajia,
after seeing your description i have gone to VKM4.
i have executed OVER ALL CREDIT STATUS with A.
then i am able to see one sales order with OVCS - 'A'.
then i have given OVCS as 'B' & also "C' - i am not able to see any sales order OVCS as B & C.
that means here there are options to use if OVCS in sales order status is B or C as it has executed for A.
so,
some where in sales order program it is hard coded i think so - i am saying this because there is a link between sales order header:
Delivery status Not delivered
Credit status Not performed
Overall blkd status Blocked
so if it is hard coded with B and C also you can use these options in VKM4.
that's is what my R & D on this says.
regadrs,
balajia

Purchase Requisition release WF with multi-level release strategy

Since it has been "a while" from my WF course and i lack experience with WF's (this is supposed to be the 1st one i implement, finally)...
The problem I'm facing is really in planning phase of sketching up how my scenario should look like. I have to create couple of WFs for a project that involve purchase requisitions and purchase orders.
The problem i'm trying to solve is logic concerning release strategy steps for this documents. They are set-up and well-deffined in customizing, but there are couple ofrelease steps for particular strategy.
Scenario:
1. someone creates a purchase requisition (event for BUS2009 is triggered, and workitem appears for release of Purch. Req. in their workplace)
2. initiator of workflow executes his workitem and selects one of the release codes (this workitem is now complete) - i'd like for new workitem to appear in supervisors inbox automatically...
3. now i need supervisor of initiator to release same purch. requisition with another release code (how to do it?)
4. supervisor of supervisor (mentioned in step 3.) needs has the authorisation for final release with final release code.
5. now the initiator from step 1. has to be notified that requisition has been released by overall head of department.
Org structure i created looks like this:
ORG. UNIT. Level 0 for Purch. Req. (with Head CEO of Plant as final approver)
ORG.Unit. Level 1 for Purch. Req. (with Head of level 1)
ORG.Unit. Level 2 for Purch. Req. (with Head of level 2 and Clerks 2a,b,c)
So these guys (Clerk) 2a,b,c create Purch.Req. They or their Head of level 2 releases their requisitions with his release code Z1,
Head of level 1 should recieve workitem in his inbox to be able to release it with his release code Z2.
Director of the plant should recieve workitem for final release Z3, after Head 2 did his release with Z2, and then guys 2a,b,c should get notifications that their PR's are released.
I managed to get the SAP's standard for Purch. Req. Release working but it's just not enough...
Please advise me, guide me, if u have any idea, how could this be done, because i'm loosing a lot of time here, just searching and not seeing it. The problem is that we don't have any WF experienced guys that could help, so i'm kinda' stuck.
Could standard be used here at all?
Is it possible that the same task (for example. TS00007986 - Release requisition) appears more than once in the sam WF with different agent asignments?
I dont have an idea how this scenario should be built in WF builder.
BTW, i'll have 12-15 plants, does that mean 15 different WFs and Org Units?
Help WF gurus.
Thank you in advance,
BaX

Its' a while since I last time worked with PRs, but I'll give a try...
This part is a bit confusing:
>1. someone creates a purchase requisition (event for BUS2009 is triggered, and >workitem appears for release of Purch. Req. in their workplace)
>2. initiator of workflow executes his workitem and selects one of the release >codes (this workitem is now complete) - i'd like for new workitem to appear in >supervisors inbox automatically...
>3. now i need supervisor of initiator to release same purch. requisition with >another release code (how to do it?)
Why do you want that the initiator (the creator of the PR) needs to go the business workplace and release the PR (or select the release code). Isn't this an unncessary step? Shouldn't it worked like this:
1. Someone creates a PR
2. PR "gets" a release code automatically with some logic defined in customization
3. PR release work item apears in the supervisor's workplace
4. Initiator gets the mail
If I recall correctly, the standard solution works like this, or has quite similar approach.
Whatever way you decide to build your workflow, you won't most probably need a workflow for each plant, but you'll need several org units. But this all really depens on how you decide to do it...

PO and SchdAgreem Release Strategy at Item Level

Hello!!
I have the request to setup a the release strategy for the PO and Schedule agreements at line item level....
as far I know for PurReqs is possible to do that... but for PO and SAs it is only at header level...
Do you know if is possible to do that in configuration??

Hi,
Release strategy for PO & SA is only at Header level, since these documents are external purchase documents.
But, PR is internal purchase document and release strategy is possible at both item and header level.
i think, it is not possible to do release strategy at item level for PO & SA as you said,

Migo is not showing the excise tab - header level and item level

Hi,
i have created one PO with excise and i have created MIGO with only capture excise invoice, in MIGO before saving the document system is showing the excise basic, cess and higher education cess in excise tab, header level as well as item level. After saving the document, if i go to dispaly view of the MIGO document system is not showing the header level as well as item level excise amount. The tab itself is not appearing. Can any one help me on this.

Hi,
There are two kinds of statuses, system status and user status.
You can only influence System status if you execute a business transaction that changes the system status.there
are four system statuses open, In process,Released and Completed.
User status can be created as additional information to the system status in any numbers.But for this you
need to define a status profile which would further be assigned to transaction type(header status) and
item categories(item status).
The header status is independent of the item status. One exception is the status Completed.
If all items have the status Completed, the header status is also set to Completed.
For defining a status profile you need to go to
SPRO>Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Basic settings>Status Management.
Hope this helps.

Conditions on RFQ Header are not changeable at PO Header level

Dear Gurus,
I have maintained a Quotation and enter the conditions on Header level in Quotation. Once i adopt the Quotation in Purchase Order, these conditions are displayed both at Item and Header level and i cannot edit the condition value at PO Header level, they are editable at Item level but not at header level.
I want to edit them at PO Header level too.
Please advise.
Johi Kapoor
