PR Release Strategies - Item Value & PR Value

I have this requirement from user. For marketing department, they want to release PR base on total PR value whereas Supply Chain want to release by item level.
I have created 2 classes and the only different is the characteristic whether to use PR value or PR item value. The other characteristic is CREATOR_USER_ID.
In release group for class with PR value, I have ticked the 'OverReqRel'.
Now the problem is that the one with PR item value work fine, but the PR Value is not working.
What could go wrong?

hi
you should have two release strategy.
combining the Creator Item Value one and
The creator and PR value one.

Release Strategies in Purchase Order - possible values of caracteristics

Hello,
I have the following situation at hand.
We use in a company code a release strategy for POs. One of the caracteristics is the "plant" (CEKKO-WERKS, multiple values). Strategy is working fine.
Now I have to implement in another company code- in the same Client - the PO release strategy but this company code has about 800 Plants asociated! moreover, the release strategies in this new company are not dependent on the "plant"!
I can not change the caracteristics in the Release strateg because this would affect the already working strategies and SAP does not allow to asign another Class to the PO release groups.
Is there any way I can prevent that I have to create release strategies with each of them 800 Plants in the caracteristics "Plant" ?
Can I use something generic in the caracteristics field of the strategy?
Thanks for any help. It would save me a lot of time!

Note 493900 - FAQ: Release Strategy
1. Question :
Why is the release strategy not determined?
Answer :
Please check the following points :
You can not use Release without classification and Release with classification.
If there is an entry present in Release Group table (T16FG-FRGOT) only release with classification can be used.
If you use version management, the determination of the release strategy starts when the version is completed.
You complete a version by setting the "version completed" indicator in the version tab.
Cost Center values (CEBAN-KOSTL) and Vendor values (CEBAN-LIFNR) in the release strategy characteristics should be entered with leading zeros.
This is true for the other structures as well (CEKKO and CESSR). See note 52225.
For OVERALL RELEASE (purchase order and purchase requisition) the item fields such as Plant and Material Group will be aggregated to header level.
For example you use Plant as one of your characteristics. If all items do not belong to the same plant then the relase strategy will not be found unless you have maintained a blank value as one of your allowed values for the characteristic Plant. If all items belong to the same plant then that plant is aggregated to the header; if one or more is different then a blank is aggregated to the header. See note 47089.

Contract Release value is not updated with Limit item value

We have SRM 4.0 with ECS scenario.
Contract are created in SRM and replicated to ERP.
If we create PO with Service line and Limit line using contract in both of these line items, contract Release value is getting updated only with Service line item value.
But the contract Total value is the addition of Service and Limit value of PO.
Why Contract Release value is not getting updated with Limit item value. Please help as early as possible.

Hi Sandeep
Yes. there are various reasons .upon your contract incorrect status and linkage not establised / or more attachment in SRM GOA.
what type of contract are you using? GOA or CCTR
If it is GOA - which version of SRM and service pack ?are you in ?
If it is a GOA , BLAREL idoc might failed to post the release value in the SRM .
How contracts are created material / mat group ?
to fix or understand the issue, you need to recreate the issue.
what is the ERROR in BLAREL in SRM idoc monitoring ?

How can I make invoice when down payment is bigger than item value ?

Dear all,
please, I need make invoice with bigger down payment than the item value.
How can I make invoice when down payment clearing value is bigger than the item value ?
When I do Release To Accounting, I have got a massage:
"Total of down payment to be billed too high. See billing document item XXXXX"
Please, how can I solve this problem?
Thank you
Peter

Hello,
I would like to underline that this is not a problem, but a standard, and in my opinion rightful behaviour of SAP: in a dowpayment process, when you create the invoice document, you should deduct only an amount less or equal to the invoice amount. And in the following invoices you will deduct the remaining downpayment amounts still open.
Also under al legal and fiscal point of view, I guess how would you print the invoice? With a minus value?
Best regards,
Andrea

Hi,
SPRO -> Material Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Release Procedure for Purchase Orders.
Three steps involved in release process of purchase order.
1) Edit Characteristic: -
Create characteristic for release purchase order. If you want to release purchase order on total value. So you can create characteristic for Total net value. Take reference of CEKKO structure and GNETW field for Total net value in additional data of characteristic. E.g :- Total net value u2013 GNETWu2026Click on intervals allowed check box ..
2) Edit Class: -
After creation of characteristic, create class for release purchase order. In which you can take reference of
Class Type: - 032,
Status: - Release,
Class group: - Release strategy class,
And put reference of your characteristic, which are created by you in first step.
E.g: - Class u2013 REL_PO
3)Define Release Procedure of purchase order: -
In this step four processes involved.
1) Release Groups
2) Release Codes
3) Release indicator
4) Release Strategies
1) Release Group: - In which you can define release strategy group
For Exa.: - Release group : - 01,Release object: - 01, Class: - REL_PO.
2) Release code: - In which you can define release code. Enter value as
Release group: - 01,release code: -01 u2013 Purchase Head,
Release group: -01, release code: - 02 u2013 Auditor.
3) Release indicator: - In this step you have to define release indicator.
Like X u2013 Blocked, I u2013 Under process, S u2013 Release.
4) Release Strategy: - This is the final step for release strategy.
Assign release code 01, 02.
Click on release prerequisites, select 02 u2013 check box and click on continue.
Click on release status button, enter release indicator X, I, S and click continue
Click on classification button, Enter values of Total net value for which you want to created release strategy.
Person A will Release PO value <=50,000/-
Person B will Release PO Value >50000 and <=100000
Person C will Release PO Value >100000

How to create release order for value contract?

dear experters,
I create a value contract by T-code:va41, order type"WK1".I set a Assortment module to this order and mateirl "WKM1" to it.
then I create release order by T-code:va01 with refrence to this value contract,but it set the material "WKM1" to the sales order, and I can't modify this material! I want to put another material which belong to the assortment module in the value contract. I want to know how.
thanks.
Best regards

Assortment Module for Value Contracts
This function enables you to define a list of materials that can be released from a value contract. Materials can be assigned to more than one assortment module.
An assortment module is an entry tool and can be called up from the value contract. It is valid for a certain time period.
If you delete a material from the assortment module, to which a value contract refers, you will be unable to release that material.
In the value contract, only materials with the same sales organization and distribution channel as the value contract can be taken from the assortment module. All the other materials in the assortment module are not displayed in the value contract.
To fulfill both these requirements, two types of value contracts are offered in the standard system:
Value contract type WK 1
You can specify a product hierarchy or a assortment module for value contracts with contract type WK 1. The system will always propose this type of contract, if you want to create a contract for several materials or a certain group of materials. All the materials in the relevant assortment, or belonging to the specified product hierarchy are then relevant for release.
Value contract type WK 2 (material-related)
You can create contracts for one material (usually configurable) with this type of value contract. A software company is an example of where this kind of contract is often used. There, a contract for the value of $500,000 is made with the customer for one specific software product.
You can also agree on the length of the contract for this type. The contract duration can be agreed at item level and can be different from the contract duration specified at header level.
You can store special price agreements for the value contract. These price agreements can then be used at any level. For example, a value contract can contain prices for individual materials, or discounts that are valid for every released material.
Release Orders
The customer fulfills a contract by issuing orders against the contract. The contract does not contain any exact dates for deliveries, so you need to create a sales order to release against a value contract.
When a release order is created for the contract, the system automatically updates the released values in the contract. The release order value is calculated from the total of the open order and delivery values, plus the value that has already been billed to the value contract.
The system also updates the released value for subsequent changes (for example, overdelivery of contract release, price changes in the billing document, partial deliveries, returns, rejection of order items, cancellation or reversal of orders, deliveries or billing documents).
You can create a release order in any currency. The system automatically converts this currency into the one agreed upon in the value contract on the pricing date for the contract release order.
Creating Assortment Modules for Value Contracts
Procedure
To create an assortment module, proceed as follows:
1. From the initial screen choose Logistics >Sales and Distribution >Master data.
2.Choose Products >Value contract - Assortment module > Create.
You will then be in the Create assortment module: Initial Screen.
Module type 6 is defined for the value contract.
3. For external number assignment, enter a module number.
You can then use existing modules as a reference by entering the name of the module under reference.
4. Choose Enter.
5. Enter a short description for the module.
6. Enter a validity period for the product proposal.
During a release, the system checks if the release date lies within the validity period.
7. Create the materials that you wish to assign as items to a module.
You can display a list of materials as a product proposal, which you can then copy into the assortment module. To do this, choose Suggest material, enter the selection criteria in the subsequent screen and copy the selected materials to the items. Use Edit > Delete item to delete the materials that you do not want to copy to the assortment module.
8.Save your entries.
Also Please check the copy control in VTAA

The value for depreciation area 50 is changed and the line Items changes are confirmed with ENTER.
When line Items are opened again, there is no changed valiue for depreciation area 50...

Setting an item value before print report in BI Publisher

Hi,
I am having an issue with setting a page item's value once a button (that prints a BI Publisher report) is pressed. The session state for the item is set, however because the page does not re-load no value appears in the item on the page.
I am using a button as a page Item and using a Page Branch with the Branch Point set as On Submit: After Processing(After Computation, Validation, and Processing) with the Page set to 0 and the Request set to PRINT_REPORT=REPORT
Is there any way to set the item value on the page before branching to the report?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
-Marsha

Marsha,
You can do that as follows:
1- create a hidden text item (P20_date_hidden) with default value set to sysdate.
2- for your button >> edit >> Buttom display attributes >> attributes >> type in : onFocus= "set_date();" (( note: am using onFocus because it takes places before onClick ))
3- In your page >> edit >> HTML header >> type in :
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function set_date()
v_date = $x('P20_DATE_HIDDEN').value;
$x('P20_DATE_LETTER_SENT').value = v_date;
</script>
Hope this helps,
Sam

Is it possible to know if an item value has changed

Hi,
I'm working on a form and need to know if an item value has changed without compare it with database_value of get_item_property. there is a button <save> on the form and i want to know when user click again and again on button save if this item value has changed. thanks for your ideas.

Tabit7 - Posted: Apr 9, 2011 12:15 AMbut sometimes in query mode, the item is not navigable and its vallue changed and the prev_value did not work, perhaps the w-n-i-i do not fire>
If you look up the trigger in the Forms Help system it will tell you if the trigger will fire in Query Mode. The WNII trigger will file in Query Mode where as the Pre-Text-Item trigger does not.
i try an other way and it seems to work, i put a flag in w-v-i when database_value is different from block value and use this flag in button Save, thanks a lot for your idea it put me in the way. Glad you were able to find a way to resolve your issue. ;-)
HamidHelal - Posted: Apr 10, 2011 9:27 AM can you please give an example of u'r idea ? >
First, create a variable that is visible to the entire form. Many people would simply use a GLOBAL variable, but I do not like the limitations of GLOBALs and I don't like the fact that they are visible to the entire Forms sessions, not just my form. I prefer to use a Forms program unit (PU) Package Specification so I can explicitly define the variable data type (eliminates the need to cast the GLOBAL to the correct data type) and the variable only occupies the amount of memory needed to support the variable. Also, when I exit my form, the variable is automatically erased.
/* Sample Forms PU Package Specification */
PACKAGE Form_vars IS
g_prev_val VARCHAR2(50);
END Form_vars;No that I've created a variable to store the Previous Value of an Item, I can write code to use it. I will use a Form Level When-New-Item-Instance (WNII) trigger to ensure I capture the value exiting value of the item before any changes.
/* Sample WNII trigger */
BEGIN
Form_vars.g_prev_val := Name_in(:system.trigger_item);
END;This is a very simple example. There are many other ways to implement this method; such as using the Pre-Text and Post-Text-Item triggers as Abdetu suggested.

Redirecting an item value to another page..

Hi,
I am trying to auto-populate couple of values on page 2 when I click a button on page 1. Tried setting the item values using the comma separated list and also by re-directing to an url. Hit an issue when the values that need to be set itself contain a comma within itself. Could you let me know if there is any other de-limiter that I can use instead of a comma while setting the item values.
For instance:
There is a button on Page 58. When this button is clicked, I should be redirected to page 45 in the application and the values in P58_Name and P58_LocId should be auto-populated in P45_Name and P_45LocId.
Only when there is NO comma in value of P58_Name, this works fine. But, when there is a comma in P58_Name this is what happens:
P58_Name = Mickey, Mouse
P58_LocId = 145
Once the button is clicked on page 58, the fields in page 45 are auto-populated as below:
P45_Name = Mickey
P45_LocId = Mouse
Will there be a way to use a different de-limiter in the comma separated list? Kindly help.
Thanks,
P

the trouble is that the comma in the item name messes up with Apex URL structure, since it uses a comma separated list of item names and values..
You can set another item with the escaped value of the item in Javascript using the escape function(builtin)
escape( $v('ITEM_NAME'))or in PSLQL using APEX_UTIL.URL_ENCODE or HTF.encode functions
and then refer that new item in the Branch instead of the old one one(with commas)

BUG: Sorting drop-down lists from the field tab when using "specify item values"

Hi all,
I've finished creating my form now, but I came across this whilst writing up my documentation for maintenance tasks.
This occurs when adding new values to a drop-down list that has the "Specify item values" checkbox in the binding tab checked.
When I then try to sort my list using the built in sort buttons, it will sort the items, but the list of specified values in the binding tab does not sort reorder to stay with the original items in the list. This is hapenning when I sort from the Object > Field tab. If I sort in the Object > Binding tab then the sort will include the specified values.
For example:
A    5
C    2
D    9
Add a new value to get:
A    5
C    2
D    9
B    10
Sort the list using the button:
A    5
B    2
C    9
D    10
But it should be:
A     5
B     10
C     2
D     9

I was able to duplicate this problem and it looks like a possible bug. I've submitted it to support.

How to copy item value that contain a single quote(')?

Hi,
I have one "Copy" button in a APEX form. When user clicks it, it simply copy the item's values from the form to a new form by using APEX provided function behind the button- "Set these item values with these values". It is simple and works fine in normal cases. However, see, we have a text field called "Product Details", user types in for example "Oracle's new vision". When I click COPY button, APEX try to copy the text in "Product Details" field from this form to a new form but it returns error because of that single quote. Is there any way I can do something to replace that single quote with two single quote like we usually do in PL/SQL in the place "Set these item values with these values" of APEX button? I tried REPLACE(#P66_PRODUCT_DETAILS#., '''', '''''') but not work. I saw someone in the forum meantioned that to use something like "/#P66_PRODUCT_DETAILS#/" to get around. Any one with success?

Thanks. I think it should work this way. However, our form has about 20 ~30 text fields, I have to create 20~30 hiddle fields to handle the problem because I never know which field could contain a single quote. Ideally, a new version of APEX should have the functionality to deal with the problem when using "set values with those values" method. At least, it should provide some kind of interaction for user to get away from single quote or comma or column etc.
What I did is to get out of APEX native function and to create a new records in background by PL/SQL using record id that passed in from APEX form. It works perfectly. Although, user can only edit the record after it is created, not as user friendly as "Copy first-look at it-edit it-then create it" I originally planed.
Thanks for your help,

10
              110 -
11.

"...it does not work..." is probably the worst description of a problem you can imagine. As an application developer you should know that. Do you use firebug to see what happens once it "does not work"? Any better hints?

How to send a list item value to URL to open data related to item value

Hi,
Iam using Apex4.0 and iam facing some problem. Iam unable to send selected list item value to the url specified in the HTMl region.
Here i want to open the data related to list item value in other page.
List item - :Familyp
i want to pass this selected value to the url and when ever user selected the list item and clicks on the url, then it should display the item value related data in new page.
I tried with &FamilyP in url but it's not working. Any one help me plz.
Regards
Vamsi.Tata

Is it a normal Select list or Multi Select list?
If you have select list that allows you to select multiple options then you cannot pass it through URL. Multi-select /Shuttle keep colon separated list in the item, and this confuses Apex because the Apex URL uses colons for a different purpose. No escaping or URL encoding will help.
If it is normal select list that allows selection of only one option then you can pass through the url. Unless of course the data has a colon in it.
For multi-select, and when the value contains colon, the only way is to save the value in session state, same page item or any other place like Application Item, and then reference it at the other end. Never pass through the URL.
