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,
    Yogesh

    1. 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 don’t 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 that’s 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

    Check 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 .

    Hi,
    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 Liedo

    Dear 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.

    This is not possible in SAP standard.

  • 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
    Rahul

    Use this exit.

    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,

    1. 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 regards

    Hi,
    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,
    Isabelle

    What 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.
    Regards,
