PO release strategy - release code

Hi Experts,
I have completed the release strategy and transported to production.
However noticed that the release codes that has been configured earlier wasn't in the production.
Is there a way to update the release codes in the production besides using SPRO (no authorisation for maintaining - only display) like using CL24N to update the characteristics?
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Please first check the attached notes that refer to transport issues.
365604   FAQ: Release strategies in purchasing
186809   OMGQ/CL24: Inconsistency for release strategy class
   86900   Transport of Release strategies (OMGQ,OMGS)
   45951   Transporting class data: system / client
   10745   Copying classification data to another client
The classification data must be sent over using ALE. It does not get
transported directly. Notes 45951, 86900 and note 365604 should help.
Please follow the instructions in note 45951.
You can obtain more information about how to set-up ALE in the Online
Documentation CD (R/3 Library > CA - Cross Aplication Components >
Business Framework Architecture > ALE Integration Technology > ALE Quick
start).
However, if you can't set-up ALE, you can re-create the classification
data agin in your target system. For that you have to:
1- assign new values to the characteristic master data (t-code CT02)
2- assign the new data to the classification system (t-code CL30)
3- verify the consistency with t-code CL24. Please see note 186809.
For more information, please see note 365604.
The transport of release procedure customizing data can only be done
in a restricted manner. Please take a look at attached Note 86900 and
follow the procedure described in this note, in order to correctly
transport your release strategies.
Classification data can only be transported via ALE as per note 45951.
Note 45951 explains what class data for the release strategy will be
distributed from one system to another. It does not describe how to
implement as this involves a lot of explanation and is truely a
consulting issue.
There is another possibility that you could take into consideration for
the classification is to import them via batch input:
RCCTBI01 for creating characteristics
RCCLBi01 for creating classes
RCCLBI03 for classification

Release strategy: User should release only with his highest release code

Hello,
Because of personel absences we want to configure the release strategy so that:
User A or user B releases in the normal case the first level of a PO (with release code 01).
User C (Manager) releases after release code 01 with release code 02.
User A is deputy of user C. In this case user B will release with code 01 and user A will release with code 02.
Because user A can use depending of the case release code 01 or 02 (C deputy) it must be avoided that user B sets release code 01 and 02 for the same purchase order.
Do you know about a solution for this issue
Br
Manuel

Dear W1N,
But the systems knows that A released with code 01 and when A tries to release with code 02 the system knows that the same person of release code 01 is trying with release code 02.
The aim is to avoid the second release from the same person and not to automate the release strategy.
In such a case A has to cancel the release for code 01 (ME28) and wait until B is reachable to do the release of code 01.
When C is absent A knows that his task is to release code 02.
Is this check really not possible?
Best regards
Manuel

Release strategy and code authorizations

Hi,
We need to create a new release strategy for PO. After setting strategy, we are assigning existing release codes A1 and A2 to strategy. The same release code is also used in existing release strategy.
Now, will this create any authorization issue if we assign same release codes to different strategies, and different users in user roles.
Thanks
Alex

Hi,
I am confused with your requirement. When you have a business requirement to control the release, may be a new department created or new character value requires for adding to release process.
Option-1:--- >When you decided to create new release strategy, you should have gone for creating new release codes & design your release process with new release strategy with new release codes. Do not use same release codes, use different release codes for new release strategy which will be easy to control for authorization based on respective users.
Option-2:--- > When you added a new release characteristic to release class based on requirement, then check assignment of release group to release class ( just make change & TR need to be transported),release strategy design which trigger on how release is to be affected & which manner with a logic. Also check the new value you are entering with your release class, release group & release strategy in Cl20N/CL24N t.codes. Also check during creation of new release characteristic, you have values with correct field name.

Release Strategy @ Company Code Level

Hi Guys:
We have a two plants under one compant code, when we issue PO to the vendor it consists quantities that are required for both plants ( Central purchasing org).
Release strategy for PO is at header level , I.e Total PO Value can we release strategy @ company code Level?
with Characteristics as Company Code ,PO Document Type and PO Value?
Thanks
Sweth

Hi
For example if the release strategy set at c.code level all the documents created for several plants belonging to the c.code will affect the release strategy,so that is not the purpose of release strategy,
The main purpose of release strategy is certain documents created for particular plant or particular purchasing group or more than the value need to be blocked based on your business,so you cant able to set the release at c.code level because thre is no logic.
The characteristics for release strategy for external purchasing documents are
Plant                - WERKS
Pur.group        - EKGRP
Pur.org            -EKORG
Acc.assignment category-KNTTP
Document value-GNETW
Document type-BSART
The table is CEKKO
Thanks

How to have more than 8 release code for a release strategy

Hi,
In standard only 8 level of release is possible for a release strategy. Our client requires more than 8 levels i.e., more than 8 release codes for a release strategy. How can we achieve this?
Pls provide your views/ideas.
Reards,

Hello,
In case you require more than 8 levels in release strategy , write to SAP, maybe they could give a fitting reply.
By the way , 8 levels of release should be more than enough . Try to incorporate the client business process
within this.

Two release code in one release strategy

Dear all,
Good Day!
how can i create two release code in one release strategy on Purchase Order
Release code is 07 - P & L Manager and 18 - President
07 will release up to 500,000.00
07 and 18 will release 500,000.00 and up
thanks in advence,
Ermin D. Concepcion

Hi Ermen,
I am not getting the problem, as Mr Barik has already suggested you the correct solution, if you want the path then the path is
IMG>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders-->Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders.
Here you must have already designed the Release codes, Release Indicator and release groups for your strategy, you have to define the "Release Strategies".
Select the group and the strategy and put in the Release codes. and proceed.
Here in the classification TAB please give the values, if this release strategy is to be triggered for less then 500000 NETW field.
and same way define another Release strategy with The NETW value greater then or Equal to 50000.01
I guess you were asking the same thing.

Release Code In Release Strategy

Dear Experts,
We have configured the release strategy for PR on Devlopment Client.
1. I have created necessary Characteristics and Classes on devlopmnt client and configured the startegy and it has been applied succesfully on Dev client.
Now i want to transport the same to the PRD client , should i require the characteristics and Class again in the PRD client, as else can be transported to the PRD client.
2. Also we have user XYZ who is Purchase manager and we have release code R1 in strategy.
How can i map R1 to XYZ, what is the T Code for the same and authorize him to use ME29N for release of PR.
Best Regards,
sap User

Just follow steps:
PFCG
Create a role or change existing Purchasing role
Maintain the authorization profile:
Manually add authorization object MM_E (MM: Purchasing) if doesn't exist, otherwise just change the existing one.
Add sub-object M_EINK_FRG (Release Code and Group) to above mentioned object MM_E
Add Release Code R1, you may also need release group XXX
Generate and Save
Then SU01 assign the role to User Purchase_Mgr.
Hope this helps.

CCreate Release Strategy using department name in "Release Code", not User ID SAP.

hi experts...
i wanna create new release strategy, but in part "choose activities => Workflow => assignment of role to release code"
in field Agent ID usually we fill SAP user ID, but i wanna using department name.
is there anyone can help me
thanks,

Hi Raju,
Are you setting release for purchase requisition or purchase order ? If you are setting the release strategy for purchase requisition you need to enter table name as CEBAN and for purchase order give table name as CEKKO.
Enter tcode SE11 and give database table name as CEKKO and choose the appropriate field name for the desired component from here. Do the same with table name CEBAN for pur req.
Hope this was helpful.

RELEASE CODES IN SERVICE RELEASE STRATEGY

Dear All,
I have created a Service Group and assigned three release codes.But when I am trying to simulate the release in release strategy the release codes are not displayed.
Where have I gone wrong????.
Someone please help.
REgards

Did you maintain the combination of 'release group', 'release strategy' and 'release codes' under 'release strategies? You need to maintain this combination before simulating the release. Also, ensure after entering the said combination verifying 'relase preqreuisites, release statuses, assignment of class and then simulating the release.

Release Code and Strategy

Hi,
We have created a new release code and its corresponding release strategy. But when we are trying to release the PO, the PO goes to a release code not maintained in the system. What could possibly be lacking in my config?
Scenario : I created release code T1 but the PO goes to release code F2 (which is not configured in the system). Please help.

Hi,
It happens some time , it is taking default values.
I will suggest you to delete all the release codes and release strategy maintained in the system.
After deleting pl Save it.
Now you create your release codes and maintain release strategy again.
Def now it will work.

Problem withn Release strategy having Multiple release codes

Hi
I am working on a Release Strategy which has 2 Release codes say 01 and 02.
The PR document can be released only when 01 and 02 both releases.
But suprisingly, the first code 01 is able to release the 02 code also.
How to remove this problem.
Kindly relpy ASAP !!
Cheers
MaruthiRam

Hi,
This can be controlled through authorisation.Ask your Basis team to assign the Release code and release group in authorisation object "M_EINK_FRG" .Here give only the release code applicable to the concerned user only and remove the other release code .
Also please check if you have mantained the release prerequisite in img.That is for release code 02 the release pre requisite must be 01.Check the required boxaccordingly.

Function Module to fetch Release Code for PReqs

Hi,
Is there any function module to get the current release code applicale by passing the requisition number?
Example : If we have 4 levels of approval, say A1,A2,A3 and A4, and I want to know with what release code shall I release the requisition.
If release has benn effected for the requisition with codes A1 and A2 and if I query with the function module what is the current release code applicable, then it should give A3 or atleast a result that A2 has been the last release code effected.
Also where is the release related info stored ? I mean which tables...
Not the release strategy related info but the release effected info.
Dont worry about points...

Hi
Pur requisition Release Codes are stored in T161E table
Release code is linked with Release strategy in T161F table
Link the code with Release strategy field in EBAN table
Also check the fun modules
MM_CHECK_RELEASE_CODE_EQUAL_KI
MM_CHECK_RELEASE_CODE_NOT_KI
ME_RELEASE_REQUISITION
BAPI_REQUISITION_RELEASE
Reward points if useful
