No release strategy in PR header

I create a purchase requisition, item category: K, but after I save, there is no tab called release strategy on the header, the header only has text tab, how can I release?

I try to add a characterstic ZPR1,
in additional tab, I input table : CEBAN, field: WERKS,
but it says :Delete the allowed values first
Message no. C1069
Diagnosis
You want to enter a check table, check report, or reference to a table field to check values assigned to characteristic ZPR1
However, allowed values are also maintained in the characteristic.
Procedure
First delete the allowed values, then enter the check table, check report, or reference to a table field again.
what should I do? after I continue, the CEBAN is deleted.

Overall release of PR in Release Strategy

I have created item-wise release of PR using with Classification of Rel Str.
But when I am creating overall release of PR I am not getting the tab.
I made settings in Rel Gp screen (ticked te check box for overall rel) & also ticked the check box in the document type of PR.
Pl guide

Hi VS
Am confused. You wrote 'Have created item-wise release strategy' and also asking 'Overall release'.
If you have "made settings in Rel Gp screen (ticked te check box for overall rel) & also ticked the check box in the document type of PR", then you have configured Overall release.
If PR does not get release strategy tab at header, it could be due to incomplete release strategies. No release strategy might have been triggered for your PR data. Do you see release strategy tab at item level ?

PO Release Strategy Determination

Hi,
Is there a user exit/badi where we can skip calling the FM ME_REL_STRATEGIE_EKKO (I believe this FM is responsible for re determining the release strategy of a PO) if this change is not related to any item price change ? What we want to have is for the PO to use the same release strategy if the header text is the only one changed.
Thanks.

Hi,
I dont think there is any EXIT/BADI to avoid FM 'ME_REL_STRATEGIE_EKKO'.
You can actually create an enhancement point at the start of this FM and check for the conditions when you want this FM to skip and EXIT from this FM.
But this is not the wise way of doing.
If you can elaborate your requirement in detail, may be some one can help you with other alternatives..

Release strategy for RFQ's not triggered after change

Folks,
Release strategy is active for RFQ's. In case of initial creation, the release strategy is active. After releasal a change is made to the existing RFQ. However, the release strategy is not triggered. Characteristics used are:
1) document type (AN)
2) purchasing type (RFQ purchasing document)
It is obvious that these characteristics will not re-trigger the release strategy. On header level, there is no field in CEKKO available to re-trigger, for example total quantity? Any suggestions for a characteristic that can re-trigger the RS?

Hi,
For RFQ Release strategy will be applicable only for Document type.No other characteristics will apply for that.
As RFQ don't have any specific table where the data is stored related to RFQ.
So we Use CEKKO which only identifies the document type of RFQ.
In your case in initial process while creating the RFQ release strategy is active.
What change you have made to the Released RFQ.

PO Release Strategy for a single Plant

Dear Friends,
I have created a new release strategy to trigger multiple plants
Release Strategy is triggering in case of PO is having more than one single Plants but not in case of a single plant in one item or multiple items for the same plants.
I know that PO release strategy is at header level so I have not entered plant in CL24N.My purpose is solved in case of aPO is having more thatnn one plant but still i need to get the Release Strategy to trigger in case of any single plant or more than one time by using a single plant in PO.
Has anybody done this? Could you please suggest any logic to be developed if available
Thanks
Ranjith'

Hi Ranjit,
Do you have PLANT as the Characteristics in the Release procedure?
If not there, add PLANT as Characteristic and enter plant code in CL24N & also make the plant value as blank and check.
eg. suppose You Have two plants codes 1000 & 2000
So enter both plant codes(1000 & 2000) in plant value & also enter one blank value in Plant field.
In characteristic value
Plant-1000
2000
No Plant
Thanks

PR release strategy at header level

PR (Header level) release strategy not working

Hi all,
I have configured release procedure for PR - Header level release(i.e. With classification). My scenario is as below,
If PR value is <=1000 INR and Plant 1000 Two persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1 and A2.
If PR value is >1000 INR and Plant 1000 Three persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1,A2 and A3.
i have created Two charac(for Plant and Value), one class(Assigned the characs to it), one group, 3 release codes, and 2 Release stratergies (i.e.S1 and S2). All the settings are fine. But when I create PR, system takes only the first Release stratergy by default. That is irrespective of the valuation price in PR system by default takes S1 release stratergy only. Even for higher value PR system is not taking S2 stratergy. I have given correct values in the classification field. Why does this happen? Release procedure without classification is not configured.
Note: I have even ticked overall release for document type NB
Any inputs? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ayyappan.

Hi all,
One thing is clear now. System is not all considering the value characteristics. Its only considering Plant character(WERKS). Thats why by default its taking first release stratergy since both have plant value as 1000 in classification view.
Just now i checked by using sinlge character. For release class with plant as character the release procedure is working fine but for class with value as character release is not at all getting hit.
Note:
1.My company code currency is EUR. My characteristic currency is USD. While i create PR in valuation price system by default selects EUR. I am manually changing it to USD. Is that correct?
2. Still my new posting period is not yet open.
Is there the problem is somethig related to above?

Hi Gurus,
In quantity contract .. target value will not filled by the value(in header details) as it is quantityt contract.
We may have different line items with different cost..
my doubt is how the release strategy will be triggered for the quanityt contract and how the system will consider the whole value of the contract..

subbu

Hi,
The release strategy for the contract will work in the exact mechanism as for the PO i.e. it will be determined based upon the total net value of the entire purchasing document.

ME38 resets Release strategy of Scheduling agreement

Hello,
It seems when the users change the delivery date in the delivery schedule (transaction ME38), the system in some cases resets the release strategy of the scheduling agreement from "Release" to "Not Release".It happened only in some case,release indicator set to "4" in our case.
I cannot understand why this happens.
Has anyone encountered such a problem before.
Thanks
Sunil

Below are the (changed) item fields :
Purchasing Document Item Change Date AEDAT
Item Delivery Date EINDT
Schedule Line is "Fixed "FIXKZ
Below are the (changed) header fields :
Release Indicator: Purchasing Document FRGKE
Release status FRGZU
Purchasing document processing state PROCSTAT
Item and header changes have same "Change document number " and transaction code "ME38" , this happened only in some cases,Rel Strategy is on document type level ,I am also confused on this .
Please assist on this

PO and SchdAgreem Release Strategy at Item Level

Hello!!
I have the request to setup a the release strategy for the PO and Schedule agreements at line item level....
as far I know for PurReqs is possible to do that... but for PO and SAs it is only at header level...
Do you know if is possible to do that in configuration??

Hi,
Release strategy for PO & SA is only at Header level, since these documents are external purchase documents.
But, PR is internal purchase document and release strategy is possible at both item and header level.
i think, it is not possible to do release strategy at item level for PO & SA as you said,

How to Display PO Release Strategy in Enjoy Screen

Dear all,
I have a PO with a release strategy, which contain several release codes to release the PO (i.e. M1 & V1).
However, I am only able to display the release code (i.e. M1 & V1) in t-code ME23. I could not do the same in the enjoy screen t-code ME23N for the same PO number.
In the item level, there should be a tab with release strategy to display the PO release strategy (similar to PR), but it is not appearing.
Could anyone tell me what is the problem here? I just could not find the tab or menu to view the release strategy of a PO in the enjoy screen. Similar goes to other PO. I could not view it as well. But in the old screen, I could view it.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks 4 the reply Rahul.
I understand that it is only possible to release at header level. What my problem is that I am unable to view the release strategy (which code to release and who to release) for the PO in enjoy screen.
In my earlier thread replying to Ankur, I am simply describing that I could just select a line item, click on the release strategy button and the release strategy is displayed. A different line item with different value generated a different release strategy of course. Different amount require different set of release strategies, usually more level of approvals.
So, actually this question is not about where or how I can release a PO, but actually I could not view who is releasing for a PO in ME23N.
I even simulate it in the development server and still the same thing happen. Is it the same for everyone else? If yes, how to view who is releasing the PO in ME23N? Version of system is 4.7.
Thanks and appreciate if anyone could help.

Use SE12, structure CEKKO to check all the fields available for controlling the Purchase Order.
e.g. If the total value for the Purchase Order exceeds 10,000, release strategy 01 is assigned to the Purchase Order. There is only one characteristic created in this example. For controlling the Purchase Order type, create characteristic for CEKKO-BSTYP and the value NB.
CT04 - Create Characteristic e.g. NETVALUE
Click Additional data Table name CEKKO Field name GNETW and press enter
(for currency dependent field, you are prompt to enter the currency which the system then converts the currency of the Purchasing document into this currency)

The problem area is in purchase order ... there will be 2 Relase approvals
01 Mr. Abcd
02 Mr. Xyz
After level 1 approval and before level 2 approval ... i want to do some actions.. these actions are related to another product named savvion .
My question is can i stop the document to be edited by 02 ( Mr.Xyz ) untill i complete my process after 01( Mr.Abcd ) has finished his work.
This is to be done on top priority.
Please help me.
Cheers
Jitesh.

Hi,
Yes, We can stop the document to be edited by 02 until 01 has finished his work.
After 01 approved the document need to be correct, go to PO header menu release strategy TAB and 01 approved to be revoked (means double click on the tick mark, it will revoked).
