No PO Creation without PR release strategy

Hi all,
Is there any way of preventing a user from creating a PR on which no release strategy is applied (i.e. no release strategy exists for that user) and then creating a PO from it?

This is standard functionality of SAP that whenever PR is not subjected to release strategy PO can be created against that PR.
Why do u want to not to create a PO if no release strategy is ther
If ur requirement is like that, u can develope a BADI with logic that, if no release strategy is triggered for PR, then PO can not be created

How to block PR creation with no release strategy

Hi,
We have this PR release strategy implemented. Currrently, user are able to create the PR even there's no release strategy determined. Thus, PO can be created as the processing state is "02 Active".
Would like to block user from creating the PR if there's no release strategy determined. How should we do in order to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance.
Sue

Hi Sue
Assuming that you are using release with classification.
Create a new characteristic for PR document type (CT04)
Attach this characteristic to your Class (CL02)
Create new release strategy and in Characteristic data you will have to assign all your PR document type. This will ensure that all the PRs need to be released.

PO Creation without RFQ Release-USER EXIT

HI Gurus,
if i am creating PO with ref to Released RFQ
then system should allow
if PO created with non released RFQ then system should not allow
this is requirement
Standard is we can create PO with Ref to Release/non Releae RFQ
How to solve this issue? is there any USER EXIT available ?

Hi
Have you configured release strategy for the PR ? please check and whether the PR is going for the approval . In standard system if the release strategy is applied , system will not allow you to make PO using an unreleased PR.
If PR is not going for the approval such PRs can be used to create PO .Check the characterstics and the values for the PR which are subjected to approval process.

Release strategy for PR in Third party case

Hi,
We have this third party scenario where Purchase reqs are created at the time of Sales Order creation. A release strategy is attached to these purchase req by defining a custom field in MMaster, whenever qty goes up or equal to tht field release strategy is applied.
The problem is, for the same material's PR, the release strategy is set in one case whereas for other PR (of different sales order) it is not set. Please help let me know what could have gone wrong.
Thx.
Amit

Per your information you say that based on a custom field qty in material master release strategy is triggered. Do you have any charecteristic maintained for the Release strategy anything other than this parameter- because there must be some difference between the 2 Reqs.
Or check the change history in Material master it may be possible that at the time of second sales order if the field value was changed so that release strategy was not triggered.
Please give more details
Thanks

EPRTRANS - PR items release strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working in SRM 5.0, ECS, backend ECC 6.0.
I need to set up the 'Plan Driven Procurement scenario'.
In ECC I created entries in V_T160EX and V_T160PR and I have mantained TBE11 and TBE31 accordingly to SAP note 656597.
I used ME51N to create a purchase requisition (without items release strategy) which is getting copied to EPRTRANS table.
A purchase requisitions (with items release strategy) is getting copied to EPRTRANS table when I Save the PR?
or when I release the single items?
Points will be rewarded
Thanks in advance
Gg

Hi Disha,
you said:
The table EPRTRANS will be populated only when all the items(which have a release strategy) in the PR will be released.
Do you mean that if a PR contains two items (both with release strategy) and only the first has been released, EPRTRANS will not be populated until I release the second item?
Is that correct?
Thanks in advance
Points will be rewarded

PR release strategy for material group

Hi,
I have 2 different line items in PR with 2 different mat groups. How can I set up a release strategy for this scenario. Ex-line No 1 has mat group X and line item 2 has mat group Y. Do I release at header level or item wise release is possible

Hello
In PR you can set up this release strategy without classification release strategy.
w/o classification strategy you can define the release line item wise. so you can give diiff materual group you can enter with line item wise.

Release strategy of PO creation under contract

Hi,
if PO creation without any contract, release strategy is required. However, if PO is created from contract, no release strategy should be used. Pls advice how to configure it. thanks

The best option is you differentiate the PO document type i.e. create a seperate document type (ZNB) for those PO which are created wrt contract...Now while creating PO release strategy use PO document type (BSART) as one of the characteristic and there don't use this new PO document type (ZNB)

UserExit required - Do not Create PO without Release Strategy

Hi
My requirement is Do not Create PO without Release Strategy.
When user try to save PO, it should not allow to save, if it does not have Release Strategy.
For this scenario, we require which UserExit.
If UserExit, can you guide me which userexit and the following steps.
For this scenario, which is the best way to control.
If you got anyother options other than userexit can also be advised.
Pls advise me.
With Regards
Kamesh

Hi Shailaja
Very thanks for your reply.
Some more doubts,
I think Release strategy data will be populated in I_EKKO table.
I can use fields from I_EKKO-FRGSX & FRGKE.
If these fields are initial (ie) PO without release strategy, I want to exit PO without saving - Creation.
So here can i put Error message if the fields are initial.
IF i put Error message then the PO screen will be block ? in that Error message.
Just want to confirm before testing something with the Exit code.
Is this the way to proceed.
Thanks in advance,
With Regards,
Kamesh

Creation of release order possible during release strategy

Hi folks,
we have currently contract and purchase order release strategy parallel in place. Both are working fine.
We are using quantity and value contracts.
Quantity contracts are changed frequentely by the business; with every change (adding new items, changing prices of existing items), the release strategy is pulled again.
Our release indicator is set to 6 and has value change 0,00%.
The business requirement is now to release a contract with status X (e.g. 10 items and a total item value of 10.000EUR). After release, call offs can be created for all the released line items.
If a new line item 11 is added, it should still be possible to create call offs for item 1-10 but not for item 11.
Item 11 should undergo a new release.
Has anyone ever come across such requirement?
I have tried version management. However, version management will only force a new release whenever the version is completed.
Even then, the complete contract is subject to release strategy and it is not possible to create call offs.
We dont want to set error message ME347 "Release orders against contract xxxx not possible (contract not released)" to warning, as this will allow to always create call offs regardless of the contract being released or not.
Any ideas greately appreciated.
Thanks!!

I suppose program checks in EKKO whether contract is released,, irrespective of version exist it or not. IF you are able to direct it to EREV, then may be version 0 or ( current - 1 ) released can be returned.
Isn't it a special case that your version 0 data is intact in version 1; Even if someone change lines 1 to 10 , with or without adding line 11, it still triggers version 1. How do you ensure that lines up to 10 are not changed. you may have to look in CDPOS CDHDR with object Revision..
This is just an idea which you may discuss with your developer to see whether a copy of the program can be modified..

Requisition without release strategy

Hello everybody
Is it possible to block create purchase orders with reference to requisition without release strategy?
Example:
1. Purchase Requisition 100887 with release strategy R1 <> Purchase Order 300 created with reference to PR 100
2. Purchase Requisition 100888 without release strategy <> Purchase Order cannot be created.
Thank you for help in advance
Arek

Hi,
If you have seperate document type for PR's for release strategy
You can remove the link of PR document types to purchase order document types
other than release startegy in
Purchase order document type customizing spro>mm>purchasing>PO>define doc types>link to PR
this will not allow PO's to be created without Pr's having release strategy

The PO was printed straight away without going through Release Strategy.

Hello,
Purchase order was raised in March for over Rs 1,000,000/- and went through the Release Strategy for printing.
The value of this order was changed today - about Rs 7,000/- was added in the purchase order.
The Purchase Order was printed straight away without going through Release Strategy,
In a customization we have maintained the Release strategy for the Purchase order
Please provide the solution on this issue.

Dear,
Check at....OLME-->PO->Release Procedure->Configure Release procedure for PO> Release Indicator--> Pl. Check In Changebility of Release Procedure after release...here you have to give the option " 4".....and percentage of changebility also you have to take care...
Apart from that...in OLME--> Messages--> Message output---> Message determination...you have to fine tune your message type for Change mode...
Changeability 4 and percentage 0 will reset the release ONLY when the value of the PO increases. Any other change including decrease in value will not reset the release.
You can use the release user exit. If the PO is in change mode and Save option is selected, then increase the value in the user exit (This does not increase the PO value actually, just fools the release strategy into thinking that the value has increased).
Try with changeability 6 instead of 4. 4 will not reset the strategy if the PO is outputted (printed, emailed, etc)
Please refer the note 662993 and 365604

Shifting the PR without classification to classification release strategy

Hi Sap Guru,
I have deleted the PR release strategy without classification and configured PR release with classification in dev server.
Now before putting to production server I have to delete the old one and transport the new one. I have done the same procedure in Quality server but while tranporting the request the old one is not deleted and new strategy is also not mapped in Quality server.
Let me know which sequence I should delete the without classification in the system and incorporate the new release strategy with classification in live server.
Thnx
AC

When you deeleted "Without classification". the chnages were supposed to be transported to Production all the way.. first
This should be followed by your configuration through Classification.
The order is :
Characteristics first- BD91
Class- BD92
Your configuration and any other custom changes
and Classification data- BD93 in the very end
If you have messed up,
delete your strategies first, and then your classes and then your charcateristics .. transport them and restart the cycle

Contract without release strategy

Hi Gurus!!!
I have an issue with contracts that withour release strategy. it happens because in the contract there are more than one item and those items must have the same material group. If it's not equal the release strategy is not added to the contract but if they are equal the release strategy is added.
Message error: Purchasing document XXXXXXXXXX not subject to release strategy.
Is there any way to put more than one material group in a contract?

Dear,
For OVERALL RELEASE (purchase order, Contract) the item fields such as Plant and Material Group will be aggregated to header level.For example you use Plant as one of your characteristics. If all items do not belong to the same plant then the relase strategy will not be found unless you have maintained a blank value as one of your allowed values for the characteristic Plant. If all items belong to the same plant then that plant is aggregated to the header; if one or more is different then a blank is aggregated to the header.
So please maintain a Blank value in CL20N if you have multiple material group
For more please refer SAP note 47089
