PR - How to use distinct release strategy

Hello SAP's gurus,
We use the procedure with classification for our release strategies.
I cannot undestrand why I cannot work with 2 disctinct class (it means different characteristics list) for my company.
Rel.Grp   /Rel.obj.   / OvRelPReq    /Class
ZY          /1              /NO                 /RELEASE_STRATEGY_1
ZZ          /1              /NO                  /RELEASE_STRATEGY_2
We would like to define specific characteristics depending on the currency used in the PR.
It means, if currency is USD (table CEBAN/WAERS) : characteristic "Total Value of Item in USD" (table CEBAN/GSWRT, currency USD) should be used and if the currency is EUR : characteristic "Total Value of Item in EUR" (table CEBAN/GSWRT, currency EUR) should be used in the release strategy.
How can I work to set up a list of characteristics for the release strategy different from a currency to another one?
Thank you so much in advance for your help.

I'll have a quick check but assuming GSWRT is purely a value figure, that won't provide the distinction you want. You need to use a characteristic that represents the currency i.e. use CEBAN / WAERS. That will allow you distinguish according to the cirrency.

    Hi,
    Yes they are same unless you differentiate by using
    1> Purchasing Document Category i.e CEKKO -BSTYP
    A.....     Request for Quotation
    F......Purchase Order
    K......Contract
    L......Scheduling Agreement
    So if you just create a characteristics for CEKKO-BSTYP then maintain its values only for F so it will not be applied to RFQ

    Please go thru the below Release Procedure and check whether you have maintained all the settings properly.
    PO RELEASE STRATEGY
    The release code is a two-character ID allowing a person to release (clear, or approve) a requisition or an external purchasing document. The release codes is basically controlled via a system of authorizations (authorization object M_EINK_FRG).
    Use SE12, structure CEKKO to check all the fields available for controlling the Purchase Order.
    e.g. If the total value for the Purchase Order exceeds 10,000, release strategy 01 is assigned to the Purchase Order. There is only one characteristic created in this example. For controlling the Purchase Order type, create characteristic for CEKKO-BSTYP and the value NB.
    CT04 - Create Characteristic e.g. NETVALUE
    Click Additional data Table name CEKKO Field name GNETW and press enter
    (for currency dependent field, you are prompt to enter the currency which the system then converts the currency of the Purchasing document into this currency)
    In the Basic data (X refers to tick),
    X Mutliple values

    In the Value data, in the Char. value column, type >10000 and press enter

    In 4.6c, Purchase Order with Release Strategy have a tabs at the end of the Header. This allowed the buyers to check the release status of the Purchase Order.
    The person with the release authorization have to use ME28 to release the Purchase Order.

  • What is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document

    Hi,
    Can i know what is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document? Difference between lowest level and Highest level.

    Hi,
    Can i know what is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document? Difference between lowest level and Highest level.
    Lowest Status No: Sale Document can have several statuses at the same time. However, only one of the statuses may have a status number. If another status with a status number is activated; the old status with status number is deactivated. This is only valid under certain conditions. The system makes a note of the status with the highest status number that has been reached up to the present. The "lowest number" of this status number determines which status number a new status must have.
    Highest Status No: Sales Document can have several statuses at the same time. However, only one of the statuses may have a status number. If another status with a status number is activated, the old status with a status number is deactivated, provided the new status number does not exceed the 'highest number' defined for the old status number

  • How to turn off Release strategy

    Hi,
    We need to upload purchase orders via LSMW. While doing so, we do not wan the release strategy to be active to avoid the need for approving each order. How can I turn off the release strategy.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Pavan

    Hi
    Not sure if this requirement is to handle the cutover POs/ POs which were already approved in legacy system, I have handled this by two ways in the past ( as due to last minute changes we were not sure abiut frequency and need of turning release strategy to on / off
    1.  We have use a charactertistc (corressponding to PO date ) in Rel strategy and setup in such a way that REL strategy is active for PO with PO date > Go-live date ( all legacy POs were loaded with s date earlier than Go -live date)- this ensure that we need not to do on/off several time
    2. another case we created a seperate PO doc type and excluded from rel strategy, no uses was given authorization for creation of this except the cutover / data migration team which was responsible for cutover
    Hope these suggestion helps

  • How to set the Release Strategy without classification for PR

    Hi,
    I am able to set Release Strategy for PO with classification, however, now I want to set the Release Strategy for PR with classification. Can someone tell how to proceed to set the Release Strategy to PR with Account Assignment.
    I crated the Release Codes, however not able to find what options to choose in the following steps :-
    Release indicator
    Assign Release Indicators
    Release Points: Prerequisites
    Determination of Release Strategy
    Regards,
    Yogesh

    1. Release codes                                                            
       Create the release codes.     For  Purch. Officer, Manager and Sr. Manager                                                                               
    Like PO, MG, SM                                      
    2. Release indicators                                                       
       Define release indicators and branch to the detail screen. Here you      
       define whether fixed purchase requisitions may be changed by Materials   
       Planning, for example, and whether an RFQ or a purchase order may be     
       created from the requisition.                                            
       You can also determine the field selection here.                                                                               
    In the area "Changes after the start of the release procedure", you      
       specify whether a requisition may be changed after the release           
       procedure has begun. You specify whether the strategy has to be          
       redetermined after changes, or whether the release procedure has to      
       start all over again from the beginning.                                                                               
    This parameter bears a relation to the parameter "Value change". For     
       example, previous releases are not cancelled if the value of the         
       requisition item after the change does not exceed plus 10% of its        
       original value.                                                                               
    Attention:                                                               
       Be sure to create a release indicator (e.g. B for "blocked") that        
       serves as the starting point for subsequent indicators. Do not set the   
       indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the detail        
       screen for this indicator.                                               
       Also create a release indicator characterizing the released status.      
       Set the indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the       
       detail screen.                                                           
    You can use sytem defined indicator in this case you don’t have to do anything                                                                               
    3. Assignment of release indicators                                         
       Assign a release indicator in dependence on the status of the release.                                                                               
    Example:                                                                 
       You create a release strategy S1 consisting of two release codes 01      
       and 02. Release with 01 is a prerequisite for release with 02. If        
       release has been effected with 01, the requisition has been given the    
       "all clear" for the issue of RFQs.                                       
       You have created the release indicators B (blocked), 1 (cleared for      
       issue of RFQs) and 2 (cleared for RFQs and PO).                          
       Now enter the following as assignment:                                                                               
    Strategy   C1  C2  C3 ...                                                
       S1                          B (blocked)                                  
       S1         X                1 (RFQ)                                      
       S1         X   X            2 (RFQ/PO)                                                                               
    4. Release prerequisites                                                    
       Define which release codes are involved in a release strategy. Specify   
       whether a code is set for a release status following release, and        
       whether one release status is a prerequisite for another (+).            
       Example:                                                                 
      Strategy   Code  C1  C2  C3 ...                                  
    S1         01    X                                               
    S1         02    +   X                                                                               
    5. Determination of the release strategy                            
    Determine the conditions under which each release strategy is    
    assigned. The criteria are account assignment category, material 
    group, plant, and value of the requisition item.                                                                               
    Here you can define the you criteria but one thing you keep in mind that you hae to define all criteria.
    E.G if you will not define the Material group here but it will default in req in that case this will not work that’s the reason you have to work with Classification.               
    <b>In the classification whatever criteria you need that only you have to include like in your case you care about A/C category and value only.     </b>

  • How to Display PO Release Strategy in Enjoy Screen

    Dear all,
    I have a PO with a release strategy, which contain several release codes to release the PO (i.e. M1 & V1).
    However, I am only able to display the release code (i.e. M1 & V1) in t-code ME23. I could not do the same in the enjoy screen t-code ME23N for the same PO number.
    In the item level, there should be a tab with release strategy to display the PO release strategy (similar to PR), but it is not appearing.
    Could anyone tell me what is the problem here? I just could not find the tab or menu to view the release strategy of a PO in the enjoy screen. Similar goes to other PO. I could not view it as well. But in the old screen, I could view it.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks 4 the reply Rahul.
    I understand that it is only possible to release at header level. What my problem is that I am unable to view the release strategy (which code to release and who to release) for the PO in enjoy screen.
    In my earlier thread replying to Ankur, I am simply describing that I could just select a line item, click on the release strategy button and the release strategy is displayed. A different line item with different value generated a different release strategy of course. Different amount require different set of release strategies, usually more level of approvals.
    So, actually this question is not about where or how I can release a PO, but actually I could not view who is releasing for a PO in ME23N.
    I even simulate it in the development server and still the same thing happen. Is it the same for everyone else? If yes, how to view who is releasing the PO in ME23N? Version of system is 4.7.
    Thanks and appreciate if anyone could help.

  • How to retrigger PO release strategy

    Hi all,
    We have configured PO release strategy. When creating PO, it is initially blocked. Then the manager have to release. When the PO price is increased, the PO will again be blocked. When the price is decreased, the PO is saved without any block. The requirement is to use the same logic when the price is increased and decreased. That is, to block the PO.
    Kindly let me know if this is feasible.
    Thank you.
    Nene

    Hi,
    You should check first of all with your MM consultant see if through configuration is possible. If its not possible, you could use an user exit when saving, and check if price changed, and reset the release code using the bapi BAPI_PO_RESET_RELEASE.

    1. p_batch_id -- Get it from WSH_DELIVERY_DETAILS tables
    2. p_log_level -- Not requires

  • PO not subject to Release strategy but PR is.

    Hi Friends,
    I am trying to check what purchases have occured in my organisation which have not been authorised at some point.
    I first have done a search using table EKKO for PO's not assigned a release strategy and found many.  Therefore I thought well maybe they have been authorised at the PR level using a release strategy.  I looked at one and this seems to be the case.
    Am I right in thinking that what has happened in this scenario is that a PR has been created, been released via the appropriate release codes and then automatically become a PO but the PO has not met the criteria of a release strategy and so been released automatically?
    I'm a little confused because we only appear to have release strategies defined for PO so how would these pick up PR? 
    BTW our release strategies are classified on PO approval - reasons and PO approval - Plant.
    Last thing:
    So if I want to check which orders have not been authorised I was thinking of using table EKPO to look for PO documents with no PR (Do all PO's need a PR?) and no release strategy assigned to the PO.  Using table viewer SE16 how do I specify "null" i.e. no value?  Do I just type NULL?
    I guess then I need to look at all PR's that come out to see if they have got a release strategy assigned?
    Thanks for your help, sorry for the rambling question...
    Chris

    Chris,
    1. Your PRs might not be subject to release strategies at all
    Go to SE16 and look up T16FG, and run it wide.. look for the release object .. if you see "1" you have Release configured for PRs as well, else 2 is for POs
    2. Tcode ME2N, select dynamic selection  and under  PO header choose Release status and Subject to release indicator and play around with them the way you want.
    also, choose Purchasing item>> purchase requisition  and in teh field .. right click and choose options..= and leave teh field blank, that 'd mean null
    execute the report based on other criteria if any
    Not all POs require a requisition although they should theoretically.
