Mass Release of Purchase Order

Dear Experts ,
I have a requirement of releasing a PO en mass .
This is not like ME28 ( collective release ) . But something like ME55 , where we can select all & release all POs
Please let me know how is this possible ?
The requirement is due to the fact that the volume of a particular PO document type has suddenly increased a lot , & individially selecting POs for release is quite time consuming .
Also we need to keep the release startegy intact .
Please advice
Regards
Anis

Hello ,
Thanks for the reply .
Iin a single day we have about 2500 POs of a certain document type , which need to be released .
This is due to the sudden demand of the business & is likely to be a temporary phase .
But individually clicking 2500 lines in ME28 is in itself a time consuming task , unlike in ME55 , where there is a select all release all option .
We thought of devicing a new release startegy for the same ( where we would exclude the said document type from release procedure ) , but we need to retain the release procedure as this has a functional & operational significance .
Please advice us a way to expedite the relase of PO through the system
Regards
Anis

Mass Reschedule of Purchase Orders - from MRP

We are using MRP (not ASCP). Is it possible to perform a mass reschedule of purchase orders (note, not purch reqs, but purchase orders), directly from the planner's workbench? I think it is not possible with MRP, but ASCP seems to have the functionality. Am I right? Has anyone got any workarounds or tips on how to mass reschedule given that MRP can't do it?
Thanks

You were also correct that ASCP does have that feature. You can reschedule the "need by date" of existing purchase orders from the ASCP planners workbench. You can query purchase orders by specific attributes (like category or supplier) and then adjust the dates and release these changes to purchasing.
MRP does not have the ability to reschedule existing purchase orders.

Create custom data when releasing a Purchase Order

Hello people,
The customer uses ME28 to release the Purchase Order.
They have, for instance, two release estrategies: W1/01 and W2/02, that differ about the price.
The scenario is:
When the customer releases a Purchase order from W2/02 strategy using ME28 transaction, we need to do some verifications in Z tables and create a record in another Z table. If for some reason the purchase order will not be released, this Z data does not have be saved.
And if some error occurs and the data don´t be saved, the estrategy must remain blocked (not released).
In which EXIT is the best point to do this?
Thanks a lot!

hey
try these 2 user exits
MM06E005 - ZXM06U43 which is called from exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. This code is hit at the time you check or save.
M06E0004 - Changes to communication structure for release purch. doc - EXIT_SAPLEBND_002

Release Strategy - Purchase Order

I have configured the relevant settings for creating the purchase order.
I am now able to create the purchase order and email the same.
However, the requirement is to release the purchase order by a Superior in the organization.
I have come across the transaction code ME28.
Can you please let me know the configuration and user transaction steps in order to follow he release strategy of the purchase order.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Regards,
Ravi

hi,
Few points:
1. Po can be released only at header level..
2. For configuartion, go to SPRO >> IMG >> MM >> Purchasing >> PO >> define release strategy for PO >>
here you shd set up your new release strategy ...for that you need to edit characteristics, class...
first maintain your characteristics ie. from "EDIT characteristics" ...here create your own characteristics and enter the suitable data here...enter class type '032' for the same...
reference the fields from CEKKO structure...and add your require release relevent fields...
then go to EDIT CLASS...here define your new class and maintain same class type as 032...
3. After this maintain release strategy...click on release group option..go inside...link your req. release group to class...so that the classified characteristics will seems while releasing the document...
4. Maintain release codes...
5. maintain release indicator...
6. then maintain inside Release strategy tab...
here define you already maintain group and codes...maximum 7 rel. codes are possible...
then maintain preriquisite...
In side classification, maintain the fields based on which you wanna release the PO...
and maintain the other req. things on diff. tabs...
7. after doing this check your rel. strategy at OMGSCK tcode ie. given in tree path at same place inside SPRO path define above..
Try making a PO and check whether its working or not...

Eror when release the purchase order

hello,
any body pls explain me. my client requires when they going to release the purchase order it should check the chapter id. if it is not maintained it should allow to release. is it possible. it yes please explain me.
thaks
bhakta

The message you are looking for is actually available only for me21 &
not for ME21N due to technical constraints.
However you can make use of the following logic & customise the message
to appear during PO creation through me21n.
This is how the system works as of now. In ME21 this can be captured
as an error message and the sytem displays it so. In ME21N the
output of message is on the 'last in first out' process. In this case if
there are any standard messages then the particular CIN message would
not be shown. In case there are no other messages then this message
is shown out. Customers can capture this mesage on a priority basis
by making some adjustments at the time of display of this message
in function module J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE.
You can write your own code to display the 'chapter id missing' error.
In 'FV64A352' include program, we are calling the function module
'J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE'.In this module we are getting the
'chapter id missing' exception when chapter id is not maintained for
a material.So in 'FV64A352' just after this function module call, you
can catch this exception(chapter_id_missing = 1) and display your
own error message there.
This will be a customer modification from SAP standard, so please think twice before going ahead

Enterprise Services for release a Purchase Order

Hello,
   Im looking in the ES Workplace an enterprise service for release a purchase order but I cant find it. Someone knows the name?
Thanks

Hello Venu,
Thanks for the response. I am doing what you said, I have exposed the BAPI as a web service, activate it (sicf), configurating the endpoint (soamanager), publish to the service registry (wspublish). But I have 2 problems,
   1. When I try to test it from the service registry it shows me this error: "Invalid transport binding settingsHTTP Client, does not have endpoint url specified", and I saw and the enpoints are configured.
   2. When I consume the web service through Web Dynpro, after I deploy and run, the applications show me this error, "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.gci.WSTypedModel"wsexample1.wsexample1_model.Wsexample1_model.<init>(Wsexample1_model.java:124)".

Mass release of an order for an existing batch

UP of previous post
Gurus,
At my client we are currently facing an issue on CO05N whenever releasing an order on an SKU for which the production batch already exists.
Log. General -> Batch Management -> Creation of new batches -> Define batch creation for production order / Process order
=> In our set up production batch is created automatically at PO and batch classification is carried out in background.
For SKU A we use poduct expiration date as the batch number, for this reason if i happen to plan two production orders on two production lines for the same SKU (say PO#1 will start at 1am on Line 1 and PO#2 will start at 5 am on Line 2). When i launch mass release with CO05N, PO#1 will be released normally but PO#2 will not be released and error message will mention "Batch 2012.04.09 for material 13917 in plant 2401 already exists" (Message no. M7838).
If i enter CO02 for PO#2 and release from there, the batch from PO#1 is selected and PO is released upon saving.
Scenario : 2 PO for which GR will be done on the same batch (created at PO release)
Both PO are released through CO05N
Step 1 : PO#1 released -> Batch created
Step 2 : PO#2 release begins -> Error appear since batch ALREADY exists from Step 1.
This does not happen if you try to release PO#2 from CO02.
Is there a way to replicate this behaviour on mass release process ?
If not could you give functional insight on SAP designs on this specific points ?
Thanks in advance for your feedbacks,
Olivier

Hi,
Sorry it was mistake posting.
Any way for that (PO) material assign automatic batch determination method and then flag it in material master and then do the GR.
I hope it helps you.

Block release of Purchase Order

Hi,
Has anyone had experience with creating a release strategy to block a Purchase Order based on the X-plant matl status located on basic data tab of material master?
Thanks
Mike

Hi,
Why go to the trouble?
Maintain message "Blocked Purch and Prod of material does not allow external procurement" (Message no. ME 053) as an error. Then no purchasing/MRP etc can be done in the first place if block is maintained for material.
Thanks.

ME28 Cancel release of purchase order

Hello,
when I try to perform a cancellation of a release of a PO I get an error message:
ME 175 Document already treated. Function not possible
It should be possible to cancel the release of alll released purchase orders. Can you help me?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
please read the following:
                                                                                Note 493900 /12. Question :
Is it possible to cancel a release strategy when the purchase order has
been printed out ?
Answer :
With ME29N you cannot cancel a release strategy once the document has
been printed out. This behaviour constitutes a new design. Regarding
ME28 it has been decided to keep the old behaviour and you can cancel
the release if there is at least one message type which has not been
printed out.
Please note AT LEAST ONE message type has NOT been printed out with
ME28.
Alternatively, you can try the following:
- Transaction: SPRO
->MM->Purchasing->PO->Release procedure for PO
->Define relesae procedure for PO
->Release Strategies
->Release Status
- choose the button release indicator and
5   Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted
6   Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/outputted
- go into transaction ME22(N)
- you will get the warning message 06 684 stating
'Releases already effected are liable to be reset'
- change the price and save the p.o.. Now a change message will be
created and will be send to the vendor again.
- Please note that the release strategy will only be reset if the price
is increased. When it is decreased it won't be reset. But in both
cases a change message will be created and send to the vendor.
- after the change of the p.o. you will have to release it again. After
the release the change message will be printed.
Hope this will help to solve the issue,
regards,

Mass Update for Purchase Order & Sales Order Text

Hi,
Can be change the Purchase Order & Sales Order Text using MASS.
Regards,

Hi,
I am also surprised by the behaviour of the BDC.
This is first time when I am facing the problem since I have been using SAP.
I am able to update the PO Text manually , but BDC is giving the problem for only few Materials.
It does sound stupid, but this is the fact here with me.

Badi for emailing the release for purchase order,

hi all,
in me28->release (approve) purchasing documents->release purchasing document..there u have a button (release+save ) button
i want to enhance at that pointi.e when u select the po no and click the button,automatically trigger an email to the vendor.
i tried for enhancement-point,badis,user exits....nothing is getting hit.
plz help,
points wiil be rewarded,
regards,
johnson

Hi
In the PO, you maintain output messages for Printing ./ Emailing/ Faxing the Purchase order.
The message has the despatch time maintained.
There are 4 different Depatch times.
1 - Send with periodically scheduled job
2 - Send with job, with additional time specification
3 - Send with application own transaction
4 - Send immediately (when saving the application)
When you select 4 in the message , whne the PO is finally released, the message will be processed automatically.
When you select 3, you need to run ME9F transaction to process the message output.
You can change the message in the PO , by clicking on the message button in ME22N transaction.
So if the user has released the PO in me28 & clicked on Save this will process the message output
Thanks & Regards
