PR RELEASE STRATEGY PROBLEM

I am getting the following two error messages in the error log, while creating the PR Release strategy,
1.No release group exists
2.Characteristic CG_COE_RS_1 not linked to communication structure CEBAN
Please suggest

Hi,
Point wise answers as below:
1) SPRO>MM>Purchasing>PR>Release Procedure>Set up Procedure with classification>Release Group and release code
Create Release Group and also give release class, which you have created and assign this release group to your release codes.
2) SPRO>MM>Purchasing>PR>Release Procedure>Set up Procedure with classification>Edit Characteristics or (T.Code:CT04).
For the respective characteristic, in the additional tab you have to give Table name as "CEBAN" and field name as your corresponding field name

  • Release strategy problem in Purchase order

    Hi Guys,
    I was trying to configure Release strategy for the purchase order and this button   is not triggering in my purchase order.
    I dont know where I was doing wrong and  where might be the problem  as I tried several times.
    Can someone give me some good idea about it  how to configure in a proper way.
    If you need any further information please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I hope you followed the following steps:
    1. Create Characteristic using CT04
    2. Create a class and link to the characteristic using CL02( class type: 32)
    3. Configuration of release procedure
        SPRO IMG->MM-> Purchasing -> PO -> Release Procedure -> Set up procedure
        A) Create release group and link to class
        B) Create release code
        C) Set up the release indicator
        D) Set up Release Strategies-> strategy and codes
        E) Set up Release Strategies -> pre requisites
        F) Set up Release Strategies -> status

  • Release strategy: problems after changing the price

    HI Experts,
    I have the follwing problem.
    I´ve setup the release strategy for Purchase reqs.
    The strategy includes 3 approval levels.
    release indicator with changeability 4 and a value of 0,1% for the first two approval levels.
    I´m able to release it, but if I release the first two appoval levels and change the Preq the release strategy goes back to the first level. Fine.
    But the problem is now that I´m able to release the first level but if I try to release the second one I get a error message.
    I guess the problem is the changeability - but how can I solve this issue?
    The system have the cancel all approvals if someone changes the price.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Alex

    HI RJ,
    the exact message is "Release prerequisite not fulfilled".
    The system should act in the following way:
    Approval levels:
    1. Supervisor
    2. Manager
    3. General Manager
    1 and 2 is approved.
    Then the requisitioner changes the price.
    Release will be changeled (Releases already effected will be cancelled).
    OK that work, now the release process starts with level 1.
    1. Approved --> OK
    2- try to approve and get the message "Release prerequisite not fulfilled".
    1 and 2 have the same release indicator with 4 and 0,1%.
    Thanks

  • PR Overall Release Strategy Problem

    Hi Expert,
    I have set the following
    Characterisrtic Name:
    1) ZPR_Release_Plant, Char : CEBAN-WERKS (Char format : 4)
    2) ZPR_Release_DOC_Type , char : CEBAN-BSART (Char format : 4)
    3) ZPR_Release_Pur_Grp, Char: CEBAN_EKGRP (Char format : 3)
    4) ZPR_Release_Total_Value, Char: CEBAN-GFWRT   (Curr format : 15 and  EUR)
    I assign the above to Class : ZPR_Overall_Rel
    I created Release Grp R1 and assign the class and tick "Overall Release" checkbox. There is only one class, no others in the list
    I created two Release codes, F1 - Senior Finance Manager, C2, CEO
    I created two purchasing group, LLL and LYL
    I used the standard indicators for S - block  2 - RFQ/PO and I created two release strategies A1 and A2 for Rel grp R1.
    A1 - release Code: F1, Classfication: Plant 0001, Doc Type : NB, Value : > 0.00 EUR, and Pur Grp : LLL
    A2 - release Code: C2, Classfication: Plant 0001, Doc Type : NB, Value : > 0.00 EUR, and Pur Grp : LYL
    The problem is when I tried to created the PR, it doesn't work at all. No trigger whether I click the "check" button at the toolbar of the PR (i.e., the release strategy tab not appearing at the header). I also tried saved and display the PR and see if the Release strategy appears at the header but still not triggering.
    Can you folks advise?
    Thanks
    Lo

    Forgot to check the box "Overall Release" forthe Nb doc Type. The problem is now solved.

  • PO release strategy problem

    Hello Friends
    Who can help me?
    I created one PO, then check in ME23, and found release strategy for this PO is 'VS', but when I  check PO release strategy in customizing, it's not defined for PO release strategy.  So, how strategy 'VS' is assigned to PO during order creation?
    This order can't be released in ME28

    Check below link ;

  • Release strategy problem

    I am working on configuration of PO release strategy.
    I have two plants in one PO. I included both as values in characteristics and then selected in OMGS (classification) but release strategy is not working when I created purchase order with both plants but works with single plant.
    Does anybody know why ?

    Hi,
    Release strategy for PO with  line item charcterstics like Plant, item category, material group etc., gets updated into the structure CEKKO as blank if two different values found in a document.  For this type you need to create a assign a value as blank for the Plant.
    Ex: Release strategy S1 for plant 1000 with Charctertic value 1000
          Release strategy S2 for plant 1100 with charcterstic value 1100
          Release strategy S3 for both plants 1000, 1100 with charcterstic value " BLANK"

  • P.O Release Strategy Problem

    Hi,
    I have a case in our production system, where we have a release strategy for P.O, which has got 3 release codes.. Say strategy is A and Release group is B.
    When I create the P.O, The release strategy B A is being called, but inexplicably, I see 4 release levels,  I go to SPRO and check the Release Strategy B A  but in that strategy too, only 3 levels are maintained.
    I went to release simulation, here I see 4 levels !! Where if the approval is given at the 3rd level, the 4th level is automatically shown as approved, and the P.O gets released.
    I am curious to know, from where did this 4th level of approval come from, even though it is not defined in the config of the release strategy.
    The release code description for the 4th level (the additional level) is Financial release, I was wondering whether this additional level has got something to do with some setting done in FIAR/AP-Business Transactions...
    Can someone throw some light on this.
    Many Thanks
    Shailesh

    Hi Nick,
    I also thought the same, but to my utter surprise, I see only 3 levels in the release pre requisites, while when I click on simulation, I see 4 !!!
    However in the P.O as well as in simulation, once the 3rd level approves, the 4th one which is the Finance release happens automatically .
    I am trying to understand how did the 4th level come in from, Is it some other finance config setting?
    Thanks

  • Purchase Requisition release strategy problem

    Hi,
    We have maintain the Item wise PR Release Strategy in three levels (1-Site In-charge, 2-Project Manager, & 3- Director). PR release is in sequence from 1 to 3 but in any case changes required after full release in PR we need to restrict the user for sequence unrelease from upper to lower one then change. Now lower one unrelease the fully release PR and change it. So please suggest me for sequence unrelease from upper to lower one then after changes being possible.
    Thanks.

    I believe you should have addressed this question to some of ERP forums as the current one is for ME application.

  • Problem in purchase requisition release strategy code

    Hi
    We are facing a problem in purchase requisition, a new release strategy was created and change request transported but when PR is displayed in release strategy chart a same user is showed in different release strategy code.
    Note: new strategy was copied from other.
    Thanks in advance.

    hi,
    As you said tht you have copied the release stategy n created the new one...
    If you do so, you would have copied the class also...to which the release group is attached...
    If this is the case, then system doesn't recognise the new one, and inorder to solve it you have to define the new characteristic and class...then assign this class to the release group and make your release strategy again...
    Once you do this check the release strategy at OMGSCK...and then try at PR...
    You do all settings at :
    SPRO >> IMG>> MM >> Purchasing >> PR >> define release strategy >> W/o classification >> here edit characteristics/class and all other link are provided...

  • Problem with purchase order release strategy

    Hi Guru's
        i am dealing with problem of  service purchase order release strategy , when i making the service  po ,  i am not giving any over fulfillment tolerance  ,  after release & making Service entry sheet of PO ,   when i go to the change mode and change
      over fulfillment tolerance say 90%  , system allow me to make , and not applying release  strategy again  ,  so  there can be a miss use of this Scenario ,  so is there any possibility that release strategy , will appear again when change the tolerance ,
    0r  any other idea from your side , to avoid this ,
      your suggestions are really always helpful to me ,  please guide me for this also
    Thanks & regards
    Neha

    Hi Neha,
    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.
    Review the SAP note 365604 and 493900 for more
    information about Release strategy.

    Ashwini.

  • Release strategy with classfication & w/o classfication problem

    Hello guys
    I am facing problem in setting up the release strategy .  ECC 6,0 came up default without classification. we need with classification.  i set up w/o classification, then delete it and then did with classification.. it works fine for me in the Sand Box ,  but in dev server it didn't work for me. It is working only w/o classification , When i am trying to set up with classification , it didn't work for me , i am getting the error message in the check release strategy as follows . How i can find which release group need to create ?
    Any help will be highly appreciated
    Thanks

    Release code  for release group  is inconsistent
    Message no. ME_RELCHK057
    Diagnosis
    The release code  is not allowed because the associated release group  no longer exists.
    Procedure
    1. Recreate release group .
    Note
    The release codes and release strategies for a release group are only displayed if the release group still exists. Therefore you must create release group  in order to delete the release codes and release strategies.
    2. If necessary, delete the release strategies and the release codes for release group .
    3. Then delete release group .

    Hi,
    If you set up the release procedure with classification for purchase requisitions, the procedure without classification is deactivated. The two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor of one of them only - you cannot use both).
    To set up a release procedure with classification, you please delete all entries in the Release codes and Release Groups for Purchasing Requisitions and start a fresh creation of new Release Codes and Release Groups.
    Hope you have followed the following procedure:
    1. Create characteristics and classes
    Note
    If you wish to link your release procedure to workflow, you must perform steps 2 and 3. You make these settings in Customizing for Business Workflow (Basis -> Business Management).
    Otherwise, continue with step 4.
    2. Define organizational plan
    3. Assign standard tasks and activate event-receiver linkage.
    4. Set up release procedure with classification
    a) Create release group
    b) Create release code
    c) Create release indicator
    d) Create release strategy
    Note
    You need only carry out the following step if you wish to link your release procedure to workflow.
    e) Assign release code to a release point
    5. Check release strategies
    Hope, this time you will be able to perform the PR Release with Clasiification.
    Regards,
    Narayana.

  • Problem in release strategy in a plant PO. Strategy does not appear

    Hi:
    I have a problem with release strategy in plant PO. When we create a PO in this plant, we have no tab for release strategy, if I change the plant in PO for a different one I get this tab with all data.
    I have checked OMGS, CL20N and everything seems to be in order. I think this is a problem in plant definition, but I really donu2019t know where I can look for. This plant is a copy of an existing one, and in this plant there is no problem.
    Please, any idea?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    you can test if one or more strategies can be found. (you should one find one, otherwise SAP is not able to determine which one should be used)
    go to CL30N.
    Enter your class and class type 032, hit enter
    Enter values for the characteristics. and click button for a search in initial class.
    I dont think it has something todo with plant customizing. Classification just takes the values that are in your PO and searches for a strategy  which has to be in table T16FS.
