PR release with or without classification

Hi All,
In our system for purchase requisition, release strategy with and with out classifications have been maintained.
How can I find out which release strategy is currently running in the system?

Hi There
Usually without classification will only use the following characteristics
Acct Assignment Cat
Material Group
Plant
Value of purch. req
and in contranst With Classification you can selec any of the Field from CEBAN,, This is the main diff between these two,,
1.With Classification , you can relase at Header level as well as item level,,
2.And guess that Without Classification will not have the Rel Groups where you can get it in With Classification,,
Hope it helps
Thanks

Both cannot be used together. Only one at a time can be used

PFTC, container tab, getting 'Release codes' without classifi !!!!

Hello,
I am settingup workflow for pur/req.
After making MMsettings in MM-config(MM > Purchasing > PR > Release Procedure > With Classification > Set Up Procedure, --Workflow.
Now I have made settings SWETYPV and SWDD and it automatically bring the task against WS20000077.
But do I need to activate it?
In PFTC, container tab, it is only getting 'Release codes' without classification (which we are not using).
In SWDD also (after pressing Test icon) I am getting 'Release codes without classification.
I don't know why it is not picking 'Release codes with classification'. However it is picking correct release codes in Pur/req header.
Can you please put some light on it.
Many thanks.

Hello !
    Purchase requisition release procedures for "with classification" and "without classification" are mutually exclusive.
    I think,release procedures for "with classification" and "without classification" are configured in your system.
    So, deleting the configuration for release procedures for "without classification" will help you to accomplish the requirement.

PR Release Stgy - With Classification & Without Classification -Difference?

Hi
Pls tell me the concept behind this and the difference
Vijay

Hi ,
In without classification only four characterstics are allowed and they are
account assignment category
material group
plant
purchase requisition value
Where as without classification you have more flexibilty and almost all the fields in table EBAN can be used for setting up Release strategy ( Also we can have release strategy at item as well as at header level in with classification )

Release Strategy without Classification VS with Classification

Can you have a strategy based on with classification and another one without classification in the same client.
Thank you.

Hi
You can have either of the One active in a system
If you have activated RS without Classification, all the PR's will be subject to Release Process..
If you now activated RS with Classification then this will Not work as the sytem has already found a RS wothut classification & not depebndent on any charcterisitics.
So you can use only one of the Combination.
This is applicable to only Purchase requsitions.
For Purchase orders & othe Documents you will have only with Classification.
Thanks & Regards

PR Release without classification

Hi ,
In case of a PR release without classification are following things possible
1] Like in PR Release with classification , we can maintain Currency as a characteristics & then system calculates rate equivalent to base currency maintained in value characteristics.Hence can I handle multiple currencies scenario with PR Release without Classification?
2] Release a PR at Header Level
Please answer,
Thanks & regards ,

Release Procedure without Classification

Hi Experts,
i have create a release strategy for the release procedure without classification, which PR document type i use for this? NB?
Do i need to assign a PR document to this release procedure?
Thanks

Hi Chun,
You can not use one release strategy with classification and one more without classification at a time in the system. Only one will work.
For your case, already you have Overall release, and I suggest you go for second class with Itemwise release. With classification, it's possible to use two release strategies at a time based on the document type. ("Overall Release " check box for document type)

Shifting the PR without classification to classification release strategy

Hi Sap Guru,
I have deleted the PR release strategy without classification and configured PR release with classification in dev server.
Now before putting to production server I have to delete the old one and transport the new one. I have done the same procedure in Quality server but while tranporting the request the old one is not deleted and new strategy is also not mapped in Quality server.
Let me know which sequence I should delete the without classification in the system and incorporate the new release strategy with classification in live server.
Thnx
AC

When you deeleted "Without classification". the chnages were supposed to be transported to Production all the way.. first
This should be followed by your configuration through Classification.
The order is :
Characteristics first- BD91
Class- BD92
Your configuration and any other custom changes
and Classification data- BD93 in the very end
If you have messed up,
delete your strategies first, and then your classes and then your charcateristics .. transport them and restart the cycle

Shifting the PR without classification to with classification

Hi All,
I have deleted the PR release strategy without classification randomly and configured PR release with classification in dev server.
Now I want to delete the PR without classification from Live server and incorporate the new PR release strategy with classification in live server.
Let me know the sequence I should follow to delete the PR without classification from Quality server and apply in live server so that new PR release strategy with classification should take place.
Thnx,
AC

hello Amit,
yes, delte the strategies first.. check Table T16FS, T16FV and make sure there are no entries
Then delete the codes and check T16FC, followed by the groups.. T16FG.. these should dbe empty
You don't have to delete the characteristics and class information, if you know you'd be using them again

Release with Classification

Hi ,
What is the difference between release with classification and without classification?
Can we use both for all purchasing documents?
How to decide which procedure to use?
Regards,
Komal

Dear Komal,
Two types of release procedures are there
1. With classification (Header level release i.e overall release can be possible)
2. Without classification (Item level release)
Release procedure without classification can be configured only for purchase requisition.
For PR at any given time only one release procedure can be active
Release procedure for PR without Classifications:
Structure:
1.Release Codes: Release codes are the approved hierarchy or levels involved in releasing of a document. (Max: 8 approve levels Ex: CEO, GM, Mgr etc)
2.Release Indicators: Used to determine the status of purchase document. Ex: Blocked, Relesed for RFQ/Q or for PO.
3.Release indicator assignment: In this activity we will define the status of purchasing document at each approval level.
Release Prerequsites:
1. Sequence of release
2. Release strategy (It is the combination of release pre-requisites and release indicator)
Determination of release strategy:
Hence we will configure based on what criteria, or based on what variables the release strategy is going to be effected. Ex: Item Value, Plant, Material group etc.
Navigation: MM-> Purchasing->PR->release procedure-> Setup procedure without classification
1. Select release codes
2. Release indicator
3. Assign release indicators
4. Release points - prerequisites
5. Determination of release strategy

Need step-by-step procedure for PR Release without classification

Hi,
Can any one please let me know the detailed/ step-by-step procedure for releasing a Purchase equisition without classification.

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 dont 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 thats 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>

Not to cancel whole release with 1st level without cancel with higher level

Hi
In case of release of PR or PO I have maintained Release Prerequisite. So I can't release with 2nd level of release code without releasing with 1st level of release code. In case of cancelling release reverse should happen. i.e. I can't cancel release with 1st level of release code without cancelling with 2nd level of release code. But I am able to cancel the whole release with 1st level of release code irrespective of whether I have cancelled release with higher level of release codes or not.
I want this not to happen.
Any suggestion ? Is there any customizing seting to be maintained.
Points assured.

Vendor Report without classification.

Hi Experts,
My client wants a report to display all those vendors for whom the classification data is not maintained.
Please help..
Thanks in advance

I dont know a transaction that shows it directly.
I would execute CL30N to get a list of all vendor that have a class assignment.
then I would download all vendor numbers from table LFA1
And then I would compare both e.g. in MS ACCESS or in Excel with VLOOKUP to see which vendor is without classification.
If recurring requirement, then a small ABAP report would do the job.
