Item category control the release strategy?
Hi,
Currently the purchase of a material needs to be released.
My issue is that as soon as I change the item category in the sales order,
the material does not need to be released.
How does item category control the release strategy?
Sincerely,
Ketan
Hi Ketan,
You can set item category in the characteristic of a release strategy.
In your case, I guess the item category characteristic is already created. So you can just add the desire value into the characteristic.
Go to SPRO > IMG > Material Management > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Release Procedure > Procedure With Classification > Set Up Procedure With Classification > Release Strategies
Select the related release strategy, double click to view the detail. You will see there are 4 buttons in the bottom of the screen. Choose 'Classification' and enter you value of item category.
Thanks & regards,
JT

How to set the Release Strategy without classification for PR
Hi,
I am able to set Release Strategy for PO with classification, however, now I want to set the Release Strategy for PR with classification. Can someone tell how to proceed to set the Release Strategy to PR with Account Assignment.
I crated the Release Codes, however not able to find what options to choose in the following steps :-
Release indicator
Assign Release Indicators
Release Points: Prerequisites
Determination of Release Strategy
Regards,
Yogesh1. Release codes
Create the release codes. For Purch. Officer, Manager and Sr. Manager
Like PO, MG, SM
2. Release indicators
Define release indicators and branch to the detail screen. Here you
define whether fixed purchase requisitions may be changed by Materials
Planning, for example, and whether an RFQ or a purchase order may be
created from the requisition.
You can also determine the field selection here.
In the area "Changes after the start of the release procedure", you
specify whether a requisition may be changed after the release
procedure has begun. You specify whether the strategy has to be
redetermined after changes, or whether the release procedure has to
start all over again from the beginning.
This parameter bears a relation to the parameter "Value change". For
example, previous releases are not cancelled if the value of the
requisition item after the change does not exceed plus 10% of its
original value.
Attention:
Be sure to create a release indicator (e.g. B for "blocked") that
serves as the starting point for subsequent indicators. Do not set the
indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the detail
screen for this indicator.
Also create a release indicator characterizing the released status.
Set the indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the
detail screen.
You can use sytem defined indicator in this case you dont have to do anything
3. Assignment of release indicators
Assign a release indicator in dependence on the status of the release.
Example:
You create a release strategy S1 consisting of two release codes 01
and 02. Release with 01 is a prerequisite for release with 02. If
release has been effected with 01, the requisition has been given the
"all clear" for the issue of RFQs.
You have created the release indicators B (blocked), 1 (cleared for
issue of RFQs) and 2 (cleared for RFQs and PO).
Now enter the following as assignment:
Strategy C1 C2 C3 ...
S1 B (blocked)
S1 X 1 (RFQ)
S1 X X 2 (RFQ/PO)
4. Release prerequisites
Define which release codes are involved in a release strategy. Specify
whether a code is set for a release status following release, and
whether one release status is a prerequisite for another (+).
Example:
Strategy Code C1 C2 C3 ...
S1 01 X
S1 02 + X
5. Determination of the release strategy
Determine the conditions under which each release strategy is
assigned. The criteria are account assignment category, material
group, plant, and value of the requisition item.
Here you can define the you criteria but one thing you keep in mind that you hae to define all criteria.
E.G if you will not define the Material group here but it will default in req in that case this will not work thats the reason you have to work with Classification.
<b>In the classification whatever criteria you need that only you have to include like in your case you care about A/C category and value only. </b> -
Source Determination resets the release strategy of the PR
Hi
I am trying to automate the Purchasing Cyle by running ME57 as a batch job along with ME59n for stock items on contract, however when I create the PR and approve it, when ME57 picks this approved PR it assigns the source automatically but removes the approval! I am having the ABAP consultants debug this, however is there something elementary that I have left out?
Regards
Thasmei ReddyCheck if u have release strategy based on vendor - FLIEF. This could be a reason. When u change the vendor or assign a vendor, the release strategy is getting reset .

How to control PO Release strategy using WorkFlow
please tell me how to control PO Release strategy using WorkFlow.
Moderator message: please search for available information/documentation.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on May 31, 2011 9:35 AMHi,
Yes they are same unless you differentiate by using
1> Purchasing Document Category i.e CEKKO -BSTYP
A..... Request for Quotation
F......Purchase Order
K......Contract
L......Scheduling Agreement
So if you just create a characteristics for CEKKO-BSTYP then maintain its values only for F so it will not be applied to RFQ -

Set as default value the Item Category in the Maintenance Order
Hello everyone,
We are trying to find a user exit in order to set as default value the item category in the Maintenance Order once the Material has been introduced (Tag Components).
SAP Customizing let the user set the Item Category automatically per Material Type, but we need to set different Item Categories to materials belonging to the same material type.
We would really appreciate any help relating this issue.
Thank you very much,
Víctor LiedoDear Paul,
Thank you very much for your response.
I had already tried customizing mentioned by Pithan, but it did not work because we need to set different Item Categories for Materials with same Material Type.
We have been searching for exits which may let us set Item Category in the Maintenance Order, but it does not seem to be possible.
What you say about adding some custom validation through user exit, not to set item category as default value, but to check if the one entered is valid, sounds the best way of achieving our commitments.
I have tried to look for CNEX0037 & CNEX0038, by using transactions SE37 and SE38, search for programs and functions modules, but it did not work. Could you please tell us what kind of objects are?
Thank you very much in advance.

ML81N Enhancement to trigger the 'Release Strategy'..very urgent !!
Hi Guys,
ML81N work in a manner such that if the net amount for any PO/Service entry is less than $2500 then its 'Release Strategy' tab is not active, because the minimum value should be 5000$ to trigger the 'Release Strategy'.
I have a requirement where i have to make that tab active and select the Lowest Release Strategy (the one for 5000$) even when the amount is less than $2500.
I have already tried with the ser exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_003, its a blank user exit and the structure available is CESSR.
Can any one tell me how to activate the 'Release Strategy' tab and the lowest Release stratedy should be selected ????
What i have investigated is that once i will set the Release Strategy to the lowest Release stratedy then that tab will automatically become active.
Please tell me how to select the lowest Release strategy using the CESSR structure ?
Points will be awarded...
Thanks
RahulUse this exit.

Want to change item category at the time of order creation
Hi Gurus,
Client require to implement individual PO scenario.
I was configured the same and working fine.
I am facing problem at the time of item category determination.
User using same material and order type and they are not ready to accept to create new order type.
Now My order type is OR and item category group is NORM and right now system determine item category TAN.
User not want to change manually at the time of order creation.
I have specific condition on which i want to apply this logic.
Now i want to determine TAB item category through some user exits or enhancement.
Can anyone suggest exact in which user exit or enhancement i have to change.
Thanks & Regards,
Chirag1. Use TCode 0VVW for creating a Z Item Usage, say, ZPO1
2. Do an item Cat determination in VOV4, as
Sales Doc type
Item Cat Group
Usage
Item Category
OR -
NORM -
ZPO1 -
TAB
3. Maintain Customer Materials Info Record by using VD51.
In item screen for Cust-Mat combination maintain Item usage

Release strategy for PR with multiple item category
Hello,
I'm trying to create a global release strategy for a PR based on the item category. I have defined a caracteristic with different item categories (A and K).
If I create a PR with item category A, the correct strategy is triggered as well as for an PR with item category K. The problem is when I create a PR with 2 positions, one A and one K, there is no strategy triggered.
How can I change my settings that there is also a strategy triggered in this case ?
Thank you in advance for you help.
Kind regardsHi,
Solution is very small. Please maintain a blank entry too in the characteristics value. It will start working.

PR overall release strategy with acc. assignment category characteristics
Hi,
Here is my issue : i created an Overall release strategy but the characteristic is on item level. In some precise cases, no release is generated.
see below more details :
I have created the following PR release strategy with classification.
PR type concerned " NB": overall release
Rlease group concerned : overall release
In this release group i have 1 class
in this class i have 2 characteristics : PR type and Account assignement category.
Release strategy 1 :
PR type = NB
Acc. assignment cat = P, W
Release strategy 2:
PR type = NB
Acc. assignment cat = K, V
TEST 1 : PR type NB, 1 item with P category
OK the release strategy 1 is generated
TEST 2 : PR type NB, 1 item with W category
OK the release strategy 1 is generated
TEST 3 : PR type NB, 2 items with P category
OK the release strategy 1 is generated
TEST 4 : PR type NB, 2 items with P and W category
TEST KO, no release strategy is generated
=> what should i do to solve this issue ?
Thank you in advance for your quick answers,
IsabelleWhat is the specific requirement for Overall release strategy?
Besides, once you go for Overall release strategy, you cannot have another release strategy at item level.
Every line item generates a PO, so logically should be set to a release strategy.
Bottomline is use release strategy at line item level Unless a specific reason exists.

Sameer
