PO Release Resetting after Value Reduction

Question

Hi,
Although I searched through the forum but I was not able to find any practical answer to the query. When there is a value reduction of quantity or price in a PO, if after reduction PO doesnu2019t fall into another release strategy, POu2019s current release strategy doesnu2019t reset. Customer has such a demand that whenever a reduction occurs in a PO, it doesnu2019t have to fall into different strategy, all previous approvals should be reset and approval of PO should restart from the beginning. I also found that to complete such a requirement I need to use user exit ZXM06U22 but I couldnu2019t succeed to write the ABAP code.
Any idea, thought would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
When you reduce quantities or values the system only resets the release              
if ANOTHER release strategy is determined for the lower quantity or the              
lower value. If no other release strategy is determined by the reduction             
of the amount or value, the system will keep already existing releases.                                                                               
For example:                                                               
Once the approval has been made for 5.000 EUR there is no need to                
re-approve it again till the total net amount is lower than 5.000 EUR.               
(e.g. 2.500 EUR or 3.000 EUR)                                                        
The release indicator will only be reset if the total net value of                   
the PO is HIGHER than the old one (5.000 EUR).                                                                               
This is the standrard behaviour.
