PO Cancel release problem

Hi, experts:
I am a beginer of SAP workflow, I've got a problem when testing customized PO cancel release workflow.
My workflow is quite simple, just test whether the event 'SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED' was trigered when cancel PO. I will receive information in my SAP Business workplace.
Here is the configuration of PO release Strategies:
RGroup Rcode Workflow Agent
PO     C1     1     Blank
PO     C2     1     Blank
PO     C3     1     Blank
PO     C4     1     Blank
In my customized workflow template, I use the event 'SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED' to deal with PO cancel release.
But I find that this event will not be triggered from Level C4 cancel to C3.
Here is my test result:
Cancel        Result
C4->C3       Not triggered
C3->C2       Trigered
C2->C1       Trigered
I can get the result from my Business workplace except cancel PO from C4 to C3.
Does anyone come across with this problem?
Please tell me why and how to handle it, thanks a lot!
Best regards!

Hi,Swaminathan PJ
Appreciate for your reply!
So, shall we change another event or even customize our own event?
My requirement is that send e-mail with PO item detail (*.xls file) to specified users when final release or cancel final release.
Thank you for any good advice.
Best regards!

Idoc Segment Cancel release error

Hi all,
I have problem in cancelling the release of an Idoc Segment. I have a requirement to add new fields to the segment. When I try to do Edit->Cancel Release it is throwing below error.
"Error while resetting release of segment Z1PXXXX
Message no. EA259"
Could anyone tell me how to overcome this error or the root cause of this error?
Many Thanks,
Sri

Hello,
The reason that you are getting these errors is that you cannot cancel
the release of an extension made in previous version e.g. 4.6C. Instead you have to
create a new extension.
It is not possible to change a segment definition which is released in a
lower release. This is a basic concept of our release strategy to
guarantee compatibility between different releases.
You must create a new segment definition for the new release e.g. 620 with a new segment
field with the appropriate length. In transaction WE20, outbound parameters, you can specify
the "segment release in IDoc type" for the communication. Please read the F1 help of this field for further
information.
For your own segments you can define a new version of the segment via
transaction WE31 -> Add Version (Shift+F5).
Please review your online help for more information on this and related topics.
Hope this information helps.

David

Purchase Requisition Release Problem

Hi All,
I have a release procedure set up, and the strategy pulls up correctly when a PR is made. When I view collective release from ME55, the PR's show up, and I am able to release line items from that screen. However, when viewing the PR from ME53N, in the Release Procedure tab there is no green check next to the release code with which to release the line. Also, if I do release the PR from ME55, I cannot go to ME53N and cancel the release from the Release Procedure tab.
I am a user with all security access, so it is not an authorization role problem. The release group is also configured to release by line item, so that is not the problem. I have set up other release procedures which allow the release/cancel release function from ME53N before... what could be the problem this time?
Thanks,
J

hi.
There are two ways of releasing purchase requisitions:
Individual release (Tcode - ME54)
You release items of an individual purchase requisition or - if the requisition has to be released in total - by releasing one item you simultaneously release all the others.
Collective release (Tcode- ME55)
You release all requisition items or complete requisitions that are awaiting processing by your release code. This is the preferred method if you frequently have to effect release.
Display PR -with release status (Tcode-ME53N)
One can only see release status in ME53N & can not change release.
hope it helps to you.

Rahul

Cancel release in idoc

Hi Friends,
We are upgrading our ECC system from release 700 to 731. For one of the idoc interface we are using SHPMNT03 idoc. Post upgrade it is observed that E1EDT37 segment version is updated from 003 to 004. Biz Talk(middle ware), whose schema is desinged for old version of idoc(700) is unable to post idocs to SAP. Is there any way I can revert the version of this standard segment. While following the path EDIT->CANCEL RELEASE in WE31 for this segment I received an error - "Name range violation : Name E1EDT37 not permitted in CUSTOMER system".
old system
lo
new system.
Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for the response Vadamalai.
You are suggesting to enhance the code at coding level. Can you please eloborate me more on that. Inbound idoc is not coming to reaching to SAP itself. We are not sure at which level check is happening.
One more thing is if we create custom idoc with z segments, will these z segments also get updated( change in release) while doing next upgrade.
Thanks,
Gowrinath.

Unable to cancel release of an IDOC

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Internal Order Release/Cancel Release/...

Dear All,
I have several questions regarding Internal Order (Order type - 0401) release/cancel release options.
In order to make IO "usable" After creation I select Release option and then assign the budget to the order. When the order is no longer needed I choose Cancel release so the order can be no longer used.
So I am interested in:
1) I have lots of orders which must be cancelled, is there any trasnaction for Batch canceling or releasing the orders?
2) Does canceling the order affect for example expenses posted on this order? I mean expenses posted on this order dissapear or stay as it is?
3) what is the difference between Cancel release and Technically completed.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Yes CLOSE is the right option for finishing the order. As per my understanding there is no option in standard system to mass cancel/release an order.

Cancel release of Contract

Dear Experts,
I am using std workflow WS20000079 forcontract release. I have a scenario where user can cancel contract release. From SWEL i found that SIGNIFICATLY CHANGED, RELEASE STEP CREATED events are triggered when cancellation of release occurs. In outcome Contract changed significantly of step 00047 (in WS20000079) i have included a activity step. There i have included a custom method in task step. When i cancel release i see that status of workflow is In process and does not become completed. Can you please tell me why the status is In Process.
KR,
S Bharath

Hi,
In these kind of scenarios please use fork and wait event.
In your fork one branch should have the normal flow and in another branch,
please use wait for an event for cancel and once it occurs , do complete the workflow.
Thanks and Regards,
Swaminathan

Cancel Release

Hi,
I cannot cancel my release strategy(ME29N), once I click icon for cancel release the system prompt me this message:
"Document has already been outputted (function not possible)". So I've try to change PO but system message dipslay:
"Purchasing document has release indicator S (changes not possible)"
Can anybody help me on how to change the config.?

Hi
I think we have some solution workarounds..
1) Try this. Go to Me23n->Messages ->Repeat Output; You have a new message created; Ensure that the output option is 'output in a separate Txn' in 'Further data'.
Now goto ME28 and try to cancel this PO. This trick works in some versions of R/3.
2) If the above option fails...you need some ABAP help. Copy the ME28 program and create a new z-program and Ztxn (ZME28). In this program, there is a check for whether 'document was output'; just comment that check and you can cancel the release after output also.

Authorization for Cancel Release

Dear Expert,
Does anyone know what is authorization object to restrict cancel release? Because now if there is 3 level release (ex: E1, E2 and E3) and status release PR already final (E3), user level E1 still can cancel release status in PR and all release status will reset even if follow up document such as PO already created for that PR.
Any solution for this??Really need ur help....
Thank You,
Aleluya.

The auth object is M_EINK_FRG
But, That checks only release code. Not the activity ( Release or Reject)
May be EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 is use ful to control

Error Cancelling Release of Basic Type

Hi,
Im using WE30 to make changes to a BASIC type. So in the menu EDIT->Cancel Release an error prompted these messages:
The release of the basis types cannot be reset
Message no. EA506
Diagnosis
The release can only be reset if the basis type has been released in the current Release. Basis type ZPADET01 has already been released in Release 46C, so this release can no longer be removed.
Procedure
Create a successor to basis type ZPADET01 so this new basis type can be further developed.
I usually modify BASIC type with WE30 successfully. But this error message I'm at a lost.
Please Help,
Sid

i wouldn't go about and delete it. just create a new one, let's say YPADET01. when you clicked the button 'create' there comes a pop-up where you can decide how to proceed. it is there where you can decide whether you want the new one to be a successor of ZPADET01.
actually, i have been doing some reading on the subject and found about that release-thing:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/DE/dc/6b832543d711d1893e0000e8323c4f/frameset.htm
start there and dig a bit around, so you can get a better clue on how to go on.
sorry, that was the german link, here you go in english:

How to cancel release of a transport in "release started" state.

Hi All,
I had released a tranport and the tranport is stuck in "Release Started" phase due to issues with one of the objects in the request.
I believe we can fix this by modifying the object. But for that either the transport has to be fully released or it has to be out of "release started" phase.
Can anyone please advise as to how do we cancel release of a transport which is in "Release Started" phase?
Thanks,
Tirth

Transaction SE03 offers option "Unlock Objects (Expert tool)", which has a checkbox "set to released".
You can give this a try, but you should better contact a system administrator ("basis") beforehand, as this is not an ABAP development issue.

Remove cancel release button

Hi, is it possible to remove the cancel release button in the PO Release Tab? We would like to restrict the PO from being edited. We already set it in the system messages, however, the users tend to ask the releasers to Unrelease the PO for them to edit the PO. Appreciate your help..
Thanks!
Paula

Hi,
All seems very ok,
But there is a scenario:
1.PO creator creates an PO,and then he should release the creator-level through ME29N.
2.The manager also released the PO.
3.The creator found that he should edit the PO,as your plan setting the changability to provent against editing.
4.The creator still can edit PO after cancelling creator-level release through ME29N,
in other words,the manager's release would be cancelled while the creator-level release is cancelled.
So,my question is how to prevent po creator against cancelling self-level release in ME29N.

Appraisal Template-Cancel Release

Hi All
Please suggest for the following.....
I created an Appraisal Template in PHAP_CATALOG.
Then I released it & created some Appraisal Documents. Now I want to make some changes in the Template but for that I have to cancel the Release first.
So, I deleted all the Appraisal Documents using PHAP_ADMIN.
But, now when I try to cancel the release system doesnt allow me & throws the following error.....
''The element you have chosen is already being used in an appraisal document or anonymous appraisal.''
Although I have deleted all the Appraisal Documents using PHAP_ADMIN.
Please Suggest
Thanks & Regards

Hi Garry
Yes, you are absolutely correct even though there are no appraisal documents existing for an appraisal template at times system gives this error message, i think there is some problem with the standard SAP itself. I have also faced this issue and for testing purpose i have used a custom deletion program which would delete the documents from the database directly (RHHAP_DISPLAY_DB), I was not bothered to create an OSS message since this scenario is not a PRD scenario.
Try creating a OSS msg for this issue.
