  • ME31K release strategy

    I've defined several release strategies for contract ageement. When I create a contract, if the system cannot determine a valid release strategy, I can crate a document without release strategy.
    How can I make a control when saving the document (tcode ME31K, ME32K) to verify that a strategy release is always defined?
    For purchase order (tcode ME21N, ME22N) i've found a badi that works correctly, but it doesn't control in ME31K.
    thanks,
    Marco

    I've definied several release strategy (100) with many parameters (company code, value, plant, etc).
    Even if only one of parameters is not satisfied, the document has none release strategy, and I don't have any message about this.
    By standard system I must define a phantom release strategy, with all combination not covered by the real strategies.
    thanks,

  • User exit ML81N.....Name of user exit to trigger 'Release Strategy'..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.
    I have a requirement where i have to make that tab active and select the Lowest Release Strategy when the amount is less than $2500.
    Can anyone please tell me the name of the user exit that controls the 'Release strategy'.
    Points will be awarded...
    Thanks
    Rahul

    Hi
    Your settlement rule says "Settle to Cost Center" only.... I dont think any user exit can help in this case, if you want to settle occasioanlly to 2 cost objects
    Try with these options
    Option A
    1. Remove the 100% validation tick in the settlement profile...
    2. Maintain 2 settlement rules... i.e. One with Cost center and another with PSG... If any warning comes, ignore it
    3. Execute settlement now
    Option B
    1. Maintain settlement rule with PSG as settlement receiver
    2. In the same Settlement rule, Menu GO TO > DETAILS and maintain Cost Center also....
    3. Now execute settlement...
    Option C
    1. Maintain settlement rule with PSG as settlement receiver
    2. In the same Settlement rule, populate Cost Center also as a Valid Characteristic
    3. Now execute settlement...

  • The message not completely displayed in validation

    Hi,
    I have created a new step in validation; this is when the post document without entering Reference key 1 (XREF1) will pop up this error message
    in the message i have given " Select a valid value into the field &" and in message variable given BESG-XREF1.
    but when the trying to post with no value in reference key 1, i am getting only the message "Select a valid value into the field"
    and the character '&' is not replaced by field BSEG-XREF1.
    what could be the reason for it.
    thanks in advance,
    Shwetha

    Dear,
    This is correct.
    & is variable. BSEG-XREF1 is used as variable, if this field is blank then message will be displayed as & only.
    For e.g if validation is set for company code and business are. Company code ABCD one thousand can not post business are other that 1000. And I have written a message Company Code & is not allowed to use business area & if business area is other than 1000 for company code ABCD.
    In variables.
    1. BSEG-BUKRS
    2. BSEG-GSBER
    Now when company code ABCD use business are 3000 then message will be displayed
    Company Code ABCD is not allowed to use business area 3000.
    In your case BSEG-XREF1 is blank so system is showing no value (&)
    Your message should be Select a valid value into the reference field

  • Purchase requisition release strategy

    I want each purchase requisition should be created with valid release strategy. The problem presently is that if somebody puts wrong parametes (such as purchasing group, currency) the purchase requisition will not be applicable to release and the purchase order can be easily created. So in such cases there is no need to release purchase requisition which is not correct for business point.
    Pls advise.

    Hi Balaji
    Ur need is appreciated but inorder for that to work we have to make sure that all the possible combinations exist in ur characteristics list which may not be possible all times.
    So better way would be to check whether the characteristics combinations of ur class and the corresponding data of ur requisitions matches and trigger error msg if differs.
    Ex: Plant and doc type be the characteristics used in ur class.
    Check whether the PR has only the plants and doc types that is specified in ur release strategy and if no trigger error msg.
    Try this using BAPI also. Get help from ur ABAPer.
    Thx

  • 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,

  • 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 ?

  • No Release Strategy determined - Message no. Z_MESSAGES032

    Hi All,
    I am trying to creat PO without reference to PR and facing error:
    No Release Strategy determined
    Message no. Z_MESSAGES032
    This is for newly created PO type and new cost center.
    We don't have any PR, we are creating PO directly
    please advice

    Hi Vishal,
    As you mentioned you have created new PO type so I think release strategy is not created for this document type. You can go to the IMG ==> MM ==> Purchasing ==> Purchase Order ==> Rlease Procedure for Purchase order ==> Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order.
    Select Release Strategies option and create new Strategy. Selecte the newly created strategy and go to details and click on Classification and then Add your document type and other information. If you have any existing release strategy you can select that and add another document type in the classification.
    I hope this will help.

  • Release strategy for Future validity period- (Outline agreements)

    Dear All,
    I want to create release strategy for Scheduling agreement.But I am creating the SA for furure validity period.In this case how the release strategy will triger.
    E.g Today 09.03.09 I create a Sceduling agreement and the validity period I maintain is from 01.06.09 to 31.12.09 and Amount say 100 Rs.
    I am using Characteristics Doct type and Amount.. The system checks the rate as on date (i.e on 09.03.09) and since it doesnt find any value the Release strategy is not trigeering.
    How to set up release strategy in the above case.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Amar

    Hi Amar,
    1) if you maintain a target value (EKKO-KTWRT) in the header of the            
    contract this value is the basis for the determination of the release          
    strategy. If the target value is 0, the system will cumulate the               
    values of the items and will use this value for the determination.                                                                               
    2) So if the target value is 0 and you change the price of a condition         
    with a validity period in the future the system will react in the              
    following way:                                                                               
    Example:                                                                       
       the contract contains one item with quantity = 100 and a net price          
    of EUR 5,-.                                                                    
       all contracts with a target value from EUR 0 - 1.000,- should be            
    subject of a release strategy                                                  
       the contract is created and released on October the 1st                     
       ME32K -> October the 2nd you define a new price of EUR 7,- with a           
    validity period from 03.10.09 - 30-10.09 -> you save the contract              
    -> the release strategy is not reset, as the start date is not                 
    reached yet (system date < startdate of validity period)                       
       ME32K October the 3rd you change a field in the contract -> the             
    release strategy is reset                                                                               
    This is system design that a release strategy can only be reset through        
    an action by the user. The determination of the release strategy can't         
    be triggered automatically in the background.      
    If you create a document which is subject of an overall release strategy      
    (e.g. p.o., contract) the determination of the release strategy takes         
    place when the user hits the 'save' button or chooses the 'check'             
    function.                                                                     
    So there must be a kind of event that tells the system that something         
    has changed.

  • Error message if no release strategy is applied for PO

  • Issue with retriggering Release Strategy

    Hi all,
    We have a one off situation here. We had already 10 release staragies in our system. We added 2 more release strategies with a new characteristic. We updated the characteristic value only for the new 2 release strategues and did not update the rest 10. Although now we had updated the characteristic value for remaiining strategies, the purchase documents created in the mean tme is not subjected to release strategy. To ensure business control we need to retrigger back the release strategy for almost 1000's of documents.
    As any change to purcahsing document will retrigger it when done manually, but given the number of documents and as per Note 493900 we cannot trigger it by any backgoriund job to modify as below:
    16. Question :
    Why is there no release strategy determination when a program changes in
    background a purchasing document which corresponds to the classification of
    a release strategy ?
    Answer :
    This is the system design that a release strategy determination can only be
    triggered through a user action and not by changes made in background
    process.
    If you create a document (e.g. PO, Contract, etc), the determination of the
    release strategy takes place only in case of a user event like checking or
    saving the document.
    Kindly suggest any best practise to retrigger release strategy  for the missing documents to ensure business control. Any easy and time savig measure to get it resolved will be appreciated.

    Hi Arnand,
    After investigation by searching customer messages database ,I found              
    other customer has  similar problem as the release strategy has changed           
    after creation of the SES please review the  explanation from developer           
    :(whose release code is 03 )                                                                               
    When you try to revoke the acceptance of the service entry sheets                 
    in ML81N or ML81, the 'Enter release code' pop  up window appears, but            
    entering the code that is determined via the menu path Goto -> Entry              
    Sheet -> Release Strategy (which is the 03), the SES remains the same.            
    Nothing changes. The status does not vary and no error or warning                 
    message is issued.                                                                               
    Checking the customizing for the release strategy, the release code               
    03 should have never been assigned to the SES 800024272 as the values             
    for the relevant characteristics were not included under that code.               
    I do not know how it was managed to accept the SES.                                                                               
    Now, when you try to revoke it, it seems that no release                          
    strategy can be determined, not even including the values RCARESANO               
    and 012 between the valid values for the characteristics of the release           
    code 03 (RCARESANO as valid value for SUPERVISOR_SERVICIOS                        
    (CESSR-ERNAM)and 012 as valid value for GRUPO_COMPRAS (CESSR-EKGRP)).                                                                               
    The only Possibility is to change now the SES so that the release                 
    strategy can be re-determined by the system.This is the Only possible             
    way that the system can  redetermine the Release Strategy , but it will           
    not be possible to do so as the SES is already accepted with the Old              
    strategy and it does not admit any further changes.                               
    To be able to change it you would need to revoke the SES first,                   
    but this Will also not be possible as the Release Strategy was changed            
    and the system still applies the old rules for determining the Release.           
    Solution to our Problem                                                                               
    The Only way to revoke the SES is to Restore back the Old Strategy that           
    was prior to 03 in the customizing.So now what will happen is that by             
    applying the Old Rules the System will be able to revoke the SES that#s           
    using the Old one. Once the necessary SES are revoked then go back to             
    customizing and apply the new strategy as it was did now, and                     
    Change the SES and save , the new value of the Release Strategy will get          
    updated in the table ESSR and the field frgsx will now have 03.                                                                               
    Problems associated if the Release strategy is changed                                                                               
    Actually the release strategy is not supposed to be changed when there     
    are some documents in the System that uses it and even if you change the   
    Strategy the Old records will not get AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED by the        
    system.The Release Strategy routine has to run again to update the         
    values. This is Possible by changing the document SES ,                    
    This change will happen only if the SES is not accepted and if its         
    accepted then you need to revoke and to revoke you need to restore the     
    old strategy , revoke and then change the SES , and have to go back to     
    customizing and Start using the New strategy from now on by doing so the   
    Routine will update the old record with the new strategy.                 
    b) You may want to use CEKKO-BADAT(Requisition Date) or any other
    structure in CEBAN or CEKKO and create a new release strategy    
    to differentiate the old release strategy.
    Hope this helps,
    Kind Regards,
    Matthew
