PO Release for PO Change - Release already performed!?

I have a question regarding the following:
I have a PO Release triggered whenever a change is made to a PO.
So for example I change a PO and trigger a release strategy with one approver level.
Then the workitem for release is sent to an approver who releases the PO.
All fine so far.
A change is made to the same PO again regarding a value change but this value change is not big enough to trigger a higher approval level than has already been released before.
The workflow is triggered correctly and sending out a workitem for release of PO, but when this workitem is opened, the PO is already released for that level.
There is a requirement that it should somehow reset the previously done release in such a case so a new release can begin.
Is there a good way of doing this?
One way I thought was to reset the release strategy in a user-exit for PO change, but it does not seem like the cleanest of solutions...

If I understand correctly, on a change PO you want it to retrigger for an approval if the value change of hte PO is increased...
Do you have a net value characterstic which is set to > $$$ ?... Example if you had it set to > $0.00 then any change to the net value will invoke a new release.
Also
Check the following: SPRO - MM - Purchase Order - Release Procedure for PO  - Define  Release Procedure for PO - Release indicator...
If you have a number in the % value change field, then a small change to the value will NOT invoke the release... Example, if it was at 10%, and you made a change to a net value from $100 to $101, it would not invoke a release.

  • Release Strategy to be reset for any change in purchase order

    Hi Experts,
    At present the release strategy configured is for any change in the value of the purchase order, the release strategy is reset. Now the the client wants that for even any text change of a word, text, quantity, value, addition, deletion the release strategy should be reset.
    Can any one guide to configure the release strategy for any change. Also please provide the list of standard parameters/scenario (E.g. change of price, change of quantity etc) for which the release strategy can be configured to be reset.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Diwakar,
    I too have the same problem. I tried with Changeable indicator "1". The system does not allow to make any change to the Purchase Order even after the first level of Release. But the requirement is that the system should Reset the Release Strategy for even minor Change in the PO.

  • Release Management performance - Each step takes over a minute to complete

    We have set up a Release Management pipeline using vNext Release Templates with PS/DSC. We noticed that every release step takes about 1:47m to complete, whereas the actual tasks that are performed within each step (i.e. copying the component and executing
    the PowerShell script) take only a few seconds. We tested this by copying files and executing PowerShell scripts outside of Release Management.
    One of our deployments took about half an hour to complete (and should have taken only a few minutes). (I wanted to include a screenshot but got "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account." when trying to
    submit this question.)
    We also tested this with a minimal component, containing only one file (one PowerShell script), but even then the deployment took about 1:47m.
    Can you tell us what the reason is for this delay? What should be done in order to speed up this process?

    Hi Frank,
    Does this Release Management performance isssue occurred when you use it at first time? Do you have any setting on your TFS? Would you please tell us your TFS version? 
    If you have any repro steps, please share with us, thank you. 
    Best Regards,
    Dear Molly,
    Yes, this issue has occurred right from the beginning when we started using Release Management.
    Could you please clarify what you mean by "do you have any setting on your TFS"? As far as I know, our TFS installation is a straightforward and normal one.
    Our TFS version is TFS 2013.
    The steps to reproduce (in the simplest scenario) are as follows:
    Create a new project in Visual Studio 2013, containing one PowerShell script file. In the script file, perform a simple command such as "New-Item E:\Temp3 -itemtype directory -force".
    Perform a successful build of the project, making sure that the script file is copied to the drop folder.
    Create a vNext Component in the Release Management Client, that refers to the directory in the drop folder that contains the script file.
    Create a new vNext Release Template in the Release Management Client, containing one "Deploying using PS/DSC" action. In that action, set the PSScriptPath to the script file we created.
    Perform a new Release using the Release Template we just created. The Deploy action will take a long time, even though the script itself takes less than a second to run.
    Please let me know if you need any more information.

  • WBS *** Version Released already exists

    Dear all,
    i face the following problem.
    i created a project with some WBSE. I-0001 is one of the WBSE.
    i released the project.
    i deleted the WBSE I-0001 and I saved the project.
    after a few days, my manager told me to add WBSE I-0001 to the project and i did so.
    but the error message stated  +WBS I-0001 Version Released already exists.
    is it correct? how can i solve this problem??
    thanks a lot
    Judy

    thank you very much for all your answers.
    i find the table VSPRPS_CN and the field POSID
    the deteled WBS (status released )is in this table.
    therefore, i cannot add the WBS with the same name (status released).
    i will award the points.
    thanks

  • Cannot save any changes - Microsoft Forefront 2010 for exchange is unable to perform the requested function

    HI, I have Forefront 2010 for Exchange installed for an Exchange 2007 SP2 running on Windows 2003 x64 SP2. Exchange has all roles installed on the same server. 
    When I try to save any change on Forefront I got the following message:
    Microsoft Forefront 2010 for Exchange is unable to perform the requested function. This may be because Forefront services are unavailable. Ensure that all Microsoft Forefront services are running and that WindowsPower Shell is functional
    Well, our FF services are running and PowerShell is functional. I checked some forums and found some problems when there is entries in the IP Allow / Block lists in Exchange UI. I removed those entries but problem remains.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Xavier Villafuerte

    In my case, I was able to work around this issue by using  PowerShell directly.  For example, to run an on-demand scan for all mailboxes, this worked:
    #open EMS
    $aliases = (get-mailbox -result unlimited).alias
    Add-PsSnapin FSSPSSnapin
    set-FseOnDemandScan -MailboxList $aliases
    Start-FseOnDemandScan -EnableVirusScan $true
    Windows 2008 R2 SP1
    Exchange 2010 SP3, RU9
    PowerShell 4.0 present on the machine (though EMS runs PS 2.0)

    Apple will repair or replace at its discretions, parts found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
    You will have to discuss whether your history warrants a complete replacement with the folks at the Genius Bar.
    I do not speak for Apple, but it sounds to me like you have been unlucky, but not unlucky enough (or have spent so much time with your MacBook in the shop) to warrant a complete replacement.
    You have not provided any details of what the faults were or what was replaced. If they replaced the motherboard, you already got a new computer -- because everything except the drive and the display is on that board.

    Yes after I had the ideas, wrote a survey and created the Skype Room group, I discovered the Forum thread about Skype Ideas and had the same thought. they are already doing this. So, I guess the benefit of mine is to raise awareness of this Skype Idea Community Board.
    In my Skype Room guidelines, there is a link to the Survey which has links to all the Skype Ideas Boards for all the Skype clients, (Win7,8 iOS, Mac)... well Mac didnt have one, but I linked to the Mac blog & community.

  • If change in PO value, need other rel stategy made for value change only

    I have customized PO Relase strategy based on value. working correctly.
    In that, if there is a change in PO value after the PO release, then Release strategy is being redetermined according to new value. But user wants that if there is a change in PO value, it should follow different rel startegy for which change value is >0 USD(not regular release startegy defined for each value range).
    For this to happen, for value change, what kind of characteristic(table field) I can use as criteria so that new release startegy can be determined for any change value after final relaese?
    Is ther any possible way to make this happen? Pl. suggest me different ways.
    Vijay

    Dear Vijay,
    In order for another release strategy to getting determined, the PO should have another set of value
    to meet the characteristic for the new release strategy or else it will use back the same release strategy
    with approval reset and management need to reapprove again the same release strategy.
    Based on your description, there is no need for another release strategy to get determined if the PO
    still contain the same set value that meet the previous release strategy . Let say you increase the
    total value of the PO, incase the release strategy still meet the current approve release, it should reset
    it again but not another release strategy that not meet with value in the PO.
    If you create another new release strategy that the criteria overlay the characteristic of this old release strategy,
    for new PO, no release strategy will be getting determine.

  • Asset substitution rules for mass changes

    Dear all,
    I create worklist in order to use substitution rule for mass change.
    But when running transaction AR31 I have following error message:
    No administrator found for the task
    Message no. 5W141
    I found transaction OAWF but what must I do with this?
    Thanks for your help.
    David

    Hi David,
    In sight of resolving the error 5W141 when running the workflow in AR31, maybe following information can help.
    1- Transaction OAWF: check if the responsible users are assigned to the workflow tasks
    Menu path: Basic Functions
                                   Assign tasks to agent
                                             Correct worklist
                                                      Release worklist
                                                                Correct and release worklist
    2- Then also check if the users are assigned to the workflow-tasks in the basis-component (transaction PFTC).
       Menu path: Task type: TS   - Standard task
                             Task     : corresponding task
    Also check the minimum customizing for workflow:  SWU3 => automatic customizing
    Maybe the following SAP Notes help you in addition:

    To understand what is the transports, you need to understand the structures of the included tables, views, etc.  Or at least be able to look the table information up in SAP.
    For your example, table T001B (Permitted Posting Periods).
    You can go to SE11 to see the fields in the table.
    You can use SE16 to view the contents.
    In this example you would be transporting the following:
    T001B
    20000001 ZZZZZZZZZZ
    or
    200 0 0001 ZZZZZZZZZZ
    Client                           = 200
    Record Type                 = 0
    Posting Period Variant = 0001
    To account                    = ZZZZZZZZZZ
    Hope this helps.
