PO release strategy not triggered after PO printout

Hi Experts,
I have configured PO release strategy and have given 10% tolerance to PO value.
When I change PO value (more than 10%) after releasing the PO, but before taking Print out of PO, the system triggers new release strategy.
But when I change the PO value (More than 10%) after taking PO print out, system do not trigger the new release strategy.
I want the system to trigger new release strategy after PO print out (if its going beyond the tolerance).
Please help.
regards,
Anand

Hi Anand,
you cannot reset the release once the PO is printed.
When the purchase order is printed/faxed the vendor will deliver the goods. Therefore it would make no sense if the system resets the strategy.
Please ensure that changeability of the release indicator should be 5 or 6.

Release Strategy not triggered in PO

Release Strategy not triggered in PO and also in PR. Release Strategy stimulation is working fine but release tab is not coming in Po and also Pr.
What step I have to do after release strategy stimulation.

cns

Hi,
Unless you provides details, difficult to suggest an answer.
What are release criteria's you selected for PO and PR release strategy?
What are the release characteristics you have for PO and PR release procedure?
If you configure perfectly the PO and PR release strategy, did you transfers the "Vital Release Values" with your release strategy with release group and release class.
Refer few threads , may help full to you!

PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less

Subject : PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less Total PO
Dear Friends
We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy with multiple approvers. After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced . The new PO value should have changed the PO release strategy. But it is not changed. Old release strategy only showing in the PO which is wrong.
Details of the PO
PO no 4500000123 with 5 line items Total PO value : 100,000 USD Release strategy : AB
PO line item 5 deleted. Now total PO value changed to 50,000 USD and the PO release strategy should have been changed to AA but not changed. Still showing PO release strategy AB only.
Are there any OSS notes available to correct his bug.
Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in Advance
Thanks

Hi,
release indicators change it to 4.It may works. Please explore to all 6 indicators..........
i.e,
1-cannot be changed
2-changable,no new determination of strategy
3-changable,new release in case of strategy
4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change
5-changable,new release if new strategy/outputted
6-changable,new release if new strategy or value changed/ outputted......
And check Characteristic description and value in Classification of Release strategies ........
I hope this will help you. Thanking you.

PO Release Strategy not triggerred for particular Total Net Order Value

Dear,
I am currently facing the issue where release strategy for purchase orders is not getting triggered for a particular value or lower.
For order value 1 INR or less, no release strategy is triggered for new created PO. And for value > 1 INR release strategy is getting triggered.
All otehr PO characterstics are the same, I mean to say the values for other characterstics such as plant material group are identical.
But the characterstics for release for Total net order value are <= 30000 INR. There are two system copies, where in one system the same release strategy is working as expected. But in other system the above mentioned issue occurs. There is no differnce which I can see in the release strategy setup.
Please suggest for solution.
Thank you.
Warm Regards.

Dear All,
While looking further into the issue by going into debugging mode, we have found that in include LCLSCF2I, Internal table p_selection_criteria_tab , the value for ATFLV (Internal Floating point from) gets different values in the two systems. For example, in the affected system, for PO with 1INR tottal value, for one of the Total value chaaracterstics before INR characterstic, ATFLV value is 0,0000000000000000E+00, hence it gets out of loop and doesn't trigger release strategy.
But in another system for same PO values and release setup, ATFLV value is 1,0000000000000000E+00 for that characterstic.
May I know how the value for this field gets calculated.
Thank you.
Warm Regards.

Release strategy not triggering for Specif plant

Hi Friends
I configured a release strategy with three charecteristics. P.org, Plant, Net value.
this stretegy is triggering for specific plants which are under a particular company code, and if I change to my plant and P.org. its not triggering.
I have deleted all the classifications and release strategies from, no other data in VV_T16FS_2 , AUSP,T16FV,and T16FS tables except this release strategies data.
do we have any settings at cocode level??????
please respond if answer known
Points would be awarded for for your valuable answer.

Thank you deepak for your quick respond
Actually There were already release strategies with same charecteristics, and with the values of other plants and other P.orgs which are under certain companycode.
these were triggering perfectly for PO
Now created new strategy for plant and P.org under different plant code of different cocde. this strategy not triggering for PO.
but if the release strtegy values replaced by the erlier plants and P.org again its triggering.
Now I created new chars, class, and stategies still same problem persists.
Release stategy working for the values of a prticular company code plants, Porgs.
and already tried your suggestion Cocode as char. but same its working for only that company code not for my companycode

Release strategy not trigerred if PR changed after Approval

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement kindly help.   We have a PR generated from PS module, This PR is released by the approver. After the Approval, PS user change the PR qty and value has been increased. Now my client wants that this PR should be again sent for approval and release strategy should be trigerred. After the approval my release indicator is 2 RFQ/Purchase Order. I have set the Changeability indicator to 4 and define the tolerance to 0.1 %.
But PR release not trigerred even after this. Kidnly help.
Thanks.
Johi

Hi Johi,
Check note 493900 point 3:
3. Question :
Why is the release strategy not reset?
Answer :
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
       - the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
          case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
          another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
          quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
       - the document is still subject to the previous release
          strategy,
       - the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The total net order value is linked to CEKKO-GNETW for a purchase order,
CEBAN-GSWRT for a purchase requisition item-wise release and CEBAN-GFWRT
for a purchase requisition overall release.
If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release
(V_161S-TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the
document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the
document is still subject to the previous release strategy.
I hope this helps.

Ashwini.

Release strategy not working - no multiple releases

Hi All,
Thanks for your help.
I have resolved that issue.
Now I am facing another problem.I am having release strategy with release codes R1,R2,R3,R4.
For certain amount say 1-99 I need only R1 approval.
and 100-199 the Po should go to R2 approval only and for 200-299 it should go to R3 level approver.But for amount >300 PO need both R3 and R4 approval.The PO should go for R4 Release after R3 Release.
R1,R2,R3 levels are working fine as the PO goes only at one level.But for R4 it not working.
The users are selected based on the roles assigned.
I am using a Ztable to get the roles where release code,group and roles are populate.
For each Release code are assigned Say for R1 it is ZR1 and R2 it is ZR2 etc...for each level the users selected based on roles say for R1 ---users will have roles ZR1.
But at R4 level I need to select the users for both ZR3 and ZR4.
When I am triggering the WF using Purchase order as Po number and Release code as R4 it is not selecting R3 roles.
I am using the user exit for the user determination based on roles.
Can anyone please help me on how to resolve this.
Thanks and Regards
Raju

Hi Sujoy!
Thanks for the resolution.
My question is: Currently, plant is set as one of the characteristic in the release strategy. Hence, this problem!!
Now, we need to remove this "plant" and maybe consider including Company code or Purchase organization as the characteristic.
1. Pl tell me how to implement this?

925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone found already a solution for the following problem.
According to SAP Note: 925685 - Approval process is not triggered after documents are added.
Within our SAP application, we want to approve purchase orders for departments based upon the document total.
I was very astonished that employees are able to add a PO which will not trigger an approval stage and after the document is added, they have the possibility to change the document and at the update moment no approval will be started even if the document meets the approval requirements.
Therefore I really want the flexibility to give users the possibility to change their PO.
Meanwhile, documents which are added under approval, are also locked for changes, although this is another question it is also pretty annoying!
I hope anyone has already found a method or work around for the stated problems above.
(We are using SAP 8.8 PL 20)
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Marcel

Hi Kambadasan,
Thank you for your reply
I'm sorry but I know how the approval templates work and they are configured correctly, however as SAP also mentioned in their own Note, this is due to the lack of SBO that SAP has such behaviour.
Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I have not found the post you mentioned...
I will post my issue alson on the topic you mentioned.
Hopefully they found a solution or maybe version 8.81 will solve the problem.
Thanks a lot!!
Kind regards,
Marcel

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?
Message was edited by:
MdZ

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.

Hello Hari,
please set a breakpoint at function module
ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
and see what happends in section
    CASE t16fc-frgwf.

      WHEN space.
        RAISE nobody_found.

If using the T16FW-table, it should go to '1', otherwise it may that a user exit under '9' is used. So please check this.

Release strategy not working

Hi All,
I am working on a release procedure.All the release procedure configurations have been done for PO release .I have modified the user exit that determines the approvers which is a part of role 2000027 and I am using the standard WF 20000075 itself.
But after that when I creating a PO it is not triggering the WF.
When I am test the WF in SWUS by giving PO number and release code,its working fine.
But when I am Creating PO from ME21N workitem is not going to the user.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this.
Thanks
Raju

Does the PO have any Release Strategy tab in the Header of the PO. If not then your Release strategy is not configured in SPRO. Search this forum for configuration
2)If the PO has Release Strategy tab then please check in SWE2 whether the Linkage between the event and Workflow is activated. If not activate it. Also please check entries in SWEL Transaction code.
Thanks

Release Strategy not working for MRP generated PR

I have one qurey. Currently we are release strategy for normal PR.Now client want to activate release strategy for MRP generated PR.
current Release Strategy for normal PR configured as following.
Purchase requisition document     RV
Purchase requisition document     ZADV
Purchase requisition document     ZIMP
Purchase requisition document     ZSER
Purchase requisition document     ZSTD
Purchase requisition document     ZSTR
Purchasing group     A01
Total value of requisition for     > 1.00 INR
Creation indicator (purchase r     Realtime (manual)
Overall release of purchase re     Yes
For MRP generated PR I add creation indicator B - Material requirements Planning.Even after add creation indicator release strategy is not triggering for PR.
To trigger PR any setting need to do other than add creation indicator.
Regards
Sathish

Hi
You don't have to include creation indicator as parameter. Check in what documnet type MRP PR is generated. You can see it in t.code OMDT. At document type level also you can manage it. You need to include creation indicator only if a seperate person approves MRP generated PR.
To know how to configure release procedure see the below link
