Dear vijay,
Let me tell what I have understood from ur question.
Release procedure is set for  Purchase order and users - SCM heads /project heads are willing to see a list of pending PRs at their end in the form of a mail every day so that they can go and release them in SAP R3 without actually looking for which PO is pending at their end.
If yes then you need to take the help of Abaper and need to write a small program to incorporate this requirement.
Logic for the program :  Mail alerts for POs pending for approval
Ask the Abaper to capture all the changes happening in the tables CDHDR and CDPOS.
Field,status and release by a person.Give him all the inputs you need like
PO number  -  Pending at User --  Date of approval or release -
  etc.
Put subject line  of the mail as " List of POs pending at user"
After capturing all the fields required from these tables Abaper may use the Unix command or SAP function module to connect to mail server either Outlook or lotus notes to trigger mail laerts for the users.
Hope its clear to you.
2. U dont hav to do any config for this except giving the proper inputs to Abaper
3. This not a big development and can be done easily with the help of Abaper.

  • Release Strategy or work flow in BI Content

    Hi !
    Do we have Release Strategy or work flow in BI Content of BW Release 3.5 ?
    I have to display a history of purchasing requisitions and orders that was uploaded from SRM.
    Thanks !!!
    Zelda

    You have to carry on the following activites:
    1) Define Organisation Struture
    2) Application specific customizing
    A) Define Characteristic values
    B) Define release codes and make them Workflow relevant
    C) Define release strategy
    Based on the characteristic values the Purchase Order will be applied to a particular release
    strategy and will fall under specific catagory to pass through different level of approvals
    D) Assign release codes to corresponding Orgnisational Objects with ID
    3) Task specific customizing
    A) Activate the event linkage for the standard workflow WS20000075
    B) Do the agent assignment for the TS20000166
    C) Make other two tasks as General Tasks (TS20000168,TS20000167).
    4) Delete the row for event "Releasestepcreated" from SWEC (OSS Notes: 797775)

  • RELEASE PROCEDURE THROUGH WORK FLOW

    Dear Sirs,
            How to configure Release procedure through work flow for the purchasing documents? Which are the modules integrated for this configuration? Kindly
    give me the procedure in detail.
    Regards
    Yoga

    Hi Anand,
        Thanks for your response. In my question I had not mentioned about the criteria.
    The criteria for release of P.O. is on the basis of net value of the P.O. and there are
    two levels of approval as follows.
    If the Value of P.O. is less than Rs.50,000/=,  approval of level1 is required.
    If the Value of P.O. is greater than or equal to Rs.50,000/=, approval of both level1 and level2 is required.
        1.If the value of P.O. is Rs.30,000/=, then it should appear in the mailbox of level1 only. It should not appear in the mailbox of level2.
        2.If the value of P.O. is Rs.60,000/=, first it should appear in the mailbox of
    level1 and after the approval of level1, it should appear in the mailbox of level2
    for next level of approval.
        Is there any detailed documentation available to cofigure the above scenario.
    Regards

  • Work flow in Release Procedure

    Hi all,
          What are the steps involved to configur Work flow for the Release of Purchase
    orders?
    Yoga

    Hi Yoga,
    Work flow can be configured for release procedure through userexit M06B0001.
    U need to assign the user id to the respective Release codes. Once this has been done, then u will get a mail in Business workplace inbox upon creation of PR/PO. If u double click the work flow item it will take u to ME54n transaction for approval. We have to take Basis team help to define authorisation for Each user. Since the User has to approve only for his relevant role.
    Hope this helps a bit.
    Reward if u find this useful.
    regards

  • Regarding work flow for credit block release in sales order

    Dear Experts,
    Kindly help me with work flow-
    my scenario is if customers credit limit of 5000$ exceeds in sales order it should be blocked and notification should go to authorize person through simple mail to release this block.
    for this i have done settings in out control i have used output type krml and determined partner as employee responsible to release block in customer master but mail is not triggered to authorized person for credit block and how i can create work flow for this so that authorized person should get notify for credit block as well he releases block also.
    Regards
    Supriya

    Dear supriyaparimal,
    Please find the below points to fix your issue.
    1. Configure the out put determination by using the condition type KRML.(Hope oyu have done it already).
    2.Maintain the condition records in VV11 for condition type "KRML"
    3.Then select the condition record and click the communication tab .
    4. If you want to give any information you can use "Note for recipient".
    5. If the information has to be sent to relevant person you recipient name in the recipient column.
    Save the documnet.
    If you raise the sales order and if it is blocked then system automatically send the information to respective person.
    You can get this in formation in ""SBWP" transaction code.
    Check the in box, the information what you have mentioned in the condition records will be appeared.
    Please let me know if you have any clarifications
    Thanks&Regards

  • Work flow mails not processing from SAP Outbox to Approvers

    Hello,
    We are working on the implementation of Work flow for Purchase orders.
    Work flow customization is completed and even work flow is triggering when ever I create Purchase Order.
    Even Agent assignment also completed for work flow tasks via T code PTFC_CHG.
    Problem here is Work flow mails are not processing out of SAP Outbox to approvers even also after executing the program RSWUWFML2.
    If I check in SOST,I will not see any of the entries related to work flow mails.
    For eg:If I creates a Purchase order it will trigger Release Strategy and I can see the message to Approvers,like "Please Approver PO..."
    Only above I can see in my SAP Outbox.
    So how can I Process these messages to approvers SAP Inbox.
    Any Pre Setting I have to do?
    With regards,
    SPK

    Hi SP,
    I may be wrong, but on reading ur thread, I feel u r mis interpreting SAP Outbox with Outlook.
    Is it so, because u have mentioned about RSWUWFML2 and SOST, which comes into picture only if u r using an external mail like Outlook.
    If its Outlook, then there is no doubt that ur work item would get deleted from SAP Inbox and would be present only in Outlook.
    If its SAP Outbox, then u r not supposed to get ur work item in ur Outbox unless it is processed or executed thru ur SAP Inbox.
    Hope it helps.

    If I activate manually after creating PO it will be deactivated.
    Pls Help on this.

    In event linkages , tick 'Linkage activate' and in 'Behavior Upon Error Feedback' select value as 3 (Do not change linkage'.

    Hi Nagaraj,
    Can you check if the event linkage is active in t-code SWETYPV.
    Check if the reciever to the BO event is the desired workflow.
    Also check the event trace SWEL for worfklow getting invoked when PO is released.

  • Work Flow Notification mailer

    Hello Team:
    We have enabled work flow notification mailer service in our EBS system. Last week I restarted the services ( ALL Tiers ) and as soon as I did the restart. The business users started to receive Notification mailers. Apparently a bunch of them. I looked at the Workflow configuration settings and I was unable to figure out the setting that triggers this email stuff.
    Any idea about where this setting should be checked and tuned . We are on 11.5.10 CU2 and it is running on RHEL 4.0.
    Regards,
    Bala

    Bala,
    If you are using notification mailer services just for testing purpose then update "Set Override Address" option in "Workflow Notification Mailer" services to a active mail a/c, so that all testing mails will be re-directed to this a/c instead of various users mail a/c. But if you are implementing the notification services, then pls go though the notification services implementation document once and set the required parameters as per your business requirements.
    Users also disable receiving mails at their end, by editing their e-biz user a/c "preferences" and set e-mail notification style to no e-mail notifications option.
