New release strategy should not trgger for PO released with old Rel Strategy

Question

Hi All,
Please suggest. Po has been fully released with Release Strtgy V1 XX. Now I m replacing release strategy  XX with ZZ. If I change any po which has old rel str XX , system will reset new release strategy as in config changeability indicator 4 maintained.
But requirement is if there is  any change or value decreasing in fully released Pos with old strategy  it should not retrigger new release strategy. If value Increases then New strategy should retrigger.
Please help me on this.
regards,
Rohit

HI Rohit
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
       -  the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
          case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
          another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
          quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
       -  the document is still subject to the previous release
          strategy,
       -  the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The most important thing to consider in to avoid changes to release strategy customizing once the release strategy is used.
The commom steps are:
1- make sure all of the old POs should have been released.
2- don't delete/change the original release strategy. create a new release strategy with copy function, then the old release strategy will not be replaced.
3- if you delete the original release strategy and add a new release strategy which the characteristics in classification is same as old release strategy then the PO (have been approved) will be replaced with the new release strategy.
