Release Strategy with Workflow for PR & PO

Hi Experts,
I have configured the PR & PO Release strategy and it is working fine. My client wants the Workflow concept in Releases.
So User should get the information about the releases for PR & PO.
But I don't have much idea on Workflow, how it works for Release strategy. Can anybody give information on how to configure the Release strategy with Workflow in PR & PO.
Points will be awarded .
thanks & rgds
Swamy

Hi Swamy,
The release workflow is configured by MM functional consultant. As for the workflow determination (i.e. which level should approve first and so forth) depends solely/mainly on the Finance of the company. It differs from one company to another. And the level of approval also differ from one company to another. Hence, like you mentioned, this would be provided by the user, so it is okay. I have replied to someone on another thread asking about workflow, and this is how it works.
How it works? For example, for a PR release strategy, once the PR is raised by a user for a certain value, the PR raised that matched the classification of the release strategy configured will be triggered. In this sense, once the release strategy is triggered, the releaser holding the release code to release this PR will receive a workflow in their SAP inbox (Not Outlook) for their execution, which is sent automatically by SAP system. These is accessible via the t-code SBWP. Each releaser have a unique login ID and password.
Assuming the release strategy required 3 levels of release, for example A3, A2 and finally A1 (final release), A3 will first receive this workflow in his/her inbox. After A3 has released, A2 will subsequently receive workflow in his/her inbox for this same PR. In the PR, you will be able to see that A2 release is now possible. This flow will continue until the final releaser, A1 and then, the status of the PR will be unblocked for issuance of PO.
How is it configured in SPRO? In the Workflow for PR release strategy, you are able to assign a unique ID (usually employee ID) to a particular release code, which these release codes are tied to one or more release strategies. The workflow determines who is to release for a release strategy with that particular release code via the assignment of the ID to that particular release code. Each assignment is only possible for one Plant, and you have to assign the same for many other Plants for the same ID in the workflow if you want him/her to have the authority to release purchasing docs in more than one Plant.
How to configure?
Before that, you need to obtain the following information - User ID of the releaser for the specified release code, Plant to be released by the user, and finally of course the Group and Release code (which you already have).
For PR: IMG>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Requisition>Release Procedure>Procedure with Classification>Set Up Procedure with Classification-->Workflow
For PO: IMG>MM>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Workflow.
Maintain the details u already have in hand:
For PR: Group (PR or PO), Code (release code), Plant (you have to maintain the same details for each of the Plant that the same release code releases) Object (US) and Agent ID (the user's ID used to login to SAP system and SBWP).
For PO: Group (PR or PO), Code (release code), Object (US) and Agent ID (the user's ID used to login to SAP system and SBWP).
Please note that PO is not Plant specific, and is usually one releaser to release the PO for GR. It is the PR that during the initial stage has the most level of release (up to max. 8 level) before a PR can be converted to PO. After the PO is converted, it is usually deemed accepted, hence only one release code is usually required to release the PO.
Hope this will give you an idea how the workflow works and how to configure it.

Creating Roles for Purchase Req. release strategy with classification

Hi friends,
Since I have created Purchase req rel strategy where I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 When value <= 5000 (Officer) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r1 and rel code L1
2 For Plant 1 When value >= 5000 (Manager) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r2and rel code L2
Now the manager will have 2 release code,if officer is absent he could release the requisition.
Same has to be done for plant 2
The release Group and code needs to be assigned to the Roles , could anybody tell me where i could know about roles and will be able to create roles and assign authorisation objects to the Roles , and release group and code to the enduser.
though its a basis job , since I have no idea , I mean I have never worked with Roles ,as now I have created the Release strategy with classification I need to assign authorisation objects to the Roles as I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 lower value of requisition 1 codeL1(Officer)
2 For higher value of requisition 2 code say Li and L2(Manager)
Manager should have 2 codes if officer is absent he could release
Same has to be done for Plant 2
Thanks N Regards
Siddhartha

Hii,
Steps:
1) Create a Role
2) Add the authorization Object M_EINK_FRG by taking the manual option
3) Assign Release Code and Release Grp
4) Assign the Role to the User ID which has the authorization of the Release Code and Grp.

Tranposrt - Purchase Requisition Release Strategy with Classification

Gurus!
Tell me if I want to Transport the Purchase Requisition release strategy with classification. The Data in each charisteristics in each PR Strategy that I have set in Dev is not getting transported to Quality.
Do I have to enter the data in characteristics again in Quality and the same procedure I have to apply for Production.
If yes, in this scenario, Can I make Production modifiable.
Regards
Sajid

Hello,
Create a special ID in PRD with access to change characteristics. This ID should be released for specific purposes and with approval (project manager/SAP support manager). You can also turn on auditing so that all activites performed are logged which can be used to satify auditors.
Cheers !

PR overall release strategy with acc. assignment category characteristics

Hi,
Here is my issue : i created an Overall release strategy but the characteristic is on item level. In some precise cases, no release is generated.
see below more details :
I have created the following PR release strategy with classification.
PR type concerned " NB": overall release
Rlease group concerned : overall release
In this release group i have 1 class
in this class i have 2 characteristics : PR type and Account assignement category.
Release strategy 1 :
PR type = NB
Acc. assignment cat = P, W
Release strategy 2:
PR type = NB
Acc. assignment cat = K, V
TEST 1 : PR type NB, 1 item with P category
OK the release strategy 1 is generated
TEST 2 : PR type NB, 1 item with W category
OK the release strategy 1 is generated
TEST 3 : PR type NB, 2 items with P category
OK the release strategy 1 is generated
TEST 4 : PR type NB, 2 items with P and W category
TEST KO, no release strategy is generated
=> what should i do to solve this issue ?
Thank you in advance for your quick answers,
Isabelle

What is the specific requirement for Overall release strategy?
Besides, once you go for Overall release strategy, you cannot have another release strategy at item level.
Every line item generates a PO, so logically should be set to a release strategy.
Bottomline is use release strategy at line item level Unless a specific reason exists.

Sameer

PR release strategy with classification

As part of a rollout, we are migrating an instance of SAP to the template SAP. Both the SAP instances are following u2018PR release strategy with classificationu2019.
The limitation is that I can configure only two release group in PR release strategy with classification. One for overall release and one at item level release. Also, I cannot assign two different release class for the same release group. If I add additional characteristics in the existing class and keep other irrelevant characteristics as blank the release strategy doesnu2019t works. the release strategy does not triggers.
Any pointers to solve this will be highly appreciated.

Hi Ashish,
If your requirement is to have release strategy with more or different characteristics than in the existing system,you may create a new release group and assign the same to release class.There no restriction for having multiple release groups for same release class.Then create new release strategies for the newly created release group and so on.

MM Release Strategy with Cost Centre

My characteristics for the release strategy is Accnt Assigmnt (KNTTP), Cost Centre (KOSTL) and Amount (GSWRT). I link all to the ceban straucture, and for the cost centre, I entered in the value tab the cost centres that I am using, and I entered the cost centres in the release strategy. Everything seem OK for the release strategy, but the release strategy is only selecting the strategy according to the values and not considering the cost centre, what can I do let it consider the cost centre and the value. I have been struggleing with this problem more than a week now. I tried everything that I can think of. Can someone assit me in this matter. I am on ECC 6.
Thank you.

Refer OSS Note :: 52225
Solution ::
Summary
Symptom
Purchase requisition release strategy with classification does not work as expected when the characteristic for cost center KOSTL is included.
Message ME297 is displayed.
Additional key words
CEBAN-KOSTL, KOSTL, Cost center, Release strategy, OMGQ, ME297
ME51, ME52, ME53
Cause and prerequisites

Release Strategy With Classification

Hey All,
I would like to get some information about release strategy with classification for purchase requisation and purchase order.
Please send me some information regarding this.
Thanks
Kawal

hi,
To see the all the linkages firstly see the classifcation and class defined in the sap system at:
SAP easy access --> Cross application components --> classification system --> master data --> characteristics and classes(CT04 and CL02)...
TO see the customisation, check:
Spro --> MM --> Purchasing --> PO/PR etc --> Release procedure --> Rel procedure with classification --> Here check for all the different transactions...like Relase codes, release stategy, access sequence, schema etc...
Also one important point abt it is:
PR is possible to release at header as well as at item level...
But PO and other external docs are only possible to release at header level only...
In the customisation check all the linkages you will get best out of it....

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.

Narayana.

PR overall release strategy (with shared PR document types)

We are asked to configure 'overall' PR release for some of the plants of our client.Now ,we know, this needs to be configured in two places in SPRO. One, in release group definition & two, document type (PR) definition. Our issue is that the doc types involved here is shared by some other plants as well who doesn't need 'overall' release. Is it possible to configure the requirement without disturbing the unwilling plants ?

Hi ,
The PR release strategy can be done at Item level also ,which has to be set that the PR has to be released at item level and after doing it ,all the item values can become characteristics values for the release strategy
The Plant can be taken as one of the characteristic.
The view CEBAN gives all the related views.
check the below LInk for Futher information on the same.

Issue: Purchase order release strategy with storage loaction.

Hi Friends,
I have created release strategy for purchase order considering following characteristics.
1. Plant
2. Purchase organization
3. Purchase group
4. Document type
Hence the release strategy is working fine.
Now the requirement is changed, PO approves should be picked depending on the storage location wise. So i tried to create characteristic for storage location with table name CEKKO and with field LGORT. However system not allowing to create, telling that field LGORT not found in table CEKKO.
Can any one tell me how to maintain this LGORT filed in structure CEKKO.
Thanks in advance
Shashidhar

HI Shashi ,
Thanks for your quick response,
I have Appended a structure to Standard Structure CEKKO with Field LGOBE.
Also we written the code :move: i_cekko = e_cekko, in user User-Exit M06E0004 function exit
FUNCTION EXIT_SAPLEBND_002.
However, the release strategy is not triggering when PO is saved,
also the user-exit is not getting triggered , even though i have included the statement ' Break-Point'
in it.
Kindly reply.
Thanks ,

Purchase Order Release Strategy with Dependency Condition

Hi
We have a scenario where we have to set up Purchase Order Release based on a combination of the following
Vendor + Purch Org + Dollar Value.
We have successfully set up the release strategy for which we have done the following
1) Create Characterstics for Vendor, Purch Org and Net Order Value
2) Assign the above characterstics to a Class
3) Assign Class to the Release Strategy in SPRO.
So far everything is good.
Now we try to define a Condition. With a Fourth Characterstic (TRIG_RELEASE ) attached to the same class.
And attached a Dependency condition to it.
$SELF.TRIG_RELEASE = 'Y' IF VENDOR = '1000' and PURC_ORG ='8500' and NET_VALUE > 1000.
When this dependency is set, the release doesnt trigger.
but modifying the condition to
$SELF.TRIG_RELEASE = 'Y' IF VENDOR = '1000' and PURC_ORG ='8500' .
Trigger the Release for that condition.
How can we base the dependency on Net Value also ? What are we doing wrong or missing ?
Regards
Aju Paul

Hi Paul,
I'm not sure why you really need that fourth characteristics. In my opinion, the three characteristics are good enough to achieve the desired release strategy. Why don't you just create a strategy that has those specifc characteristics value in your classification.
You can do that from SPRO or CL24N.
Define a new strategy in SPRO e.g "Vendor 1000 Porg 8500 > 1000"
In CL24N, enter the class name; e.g Z_PO_RELEASE.
class type 032
Hit the enter key for existing release strategies to be displayed. Select the one you one just created above. Then click on detail and your characteristics/Value is displayed below.
Then maintain the different values for the charateristics and then test with PO creation
Xtic                  Value
Vendor                1000
P.Org                  8500
Value                  > 1000

Purchase order release strategy with a characteristic value as a variable

Hi all,
We have Purchase order release strategy based on the following characteristics:
Total Net Order Value
Purchasing Organization
a few other custom fields
We would like to add a characteristic based on the creator of the PO. In the purchasing department there are two person which have the authorization to create an release POs. The goal is now to check if the actual user, who release the PO, is different from the PO creator. The value of this characteristic may not be a fix value, it must be contain the name of the actual user name.
Is there are a possibility to insert the characteristic value as a variable such as SY-UNAME instead a fix value?
Thanks,
Charles

this is verymuch possible. You can use unsed fields user1, user2 etc in CEKKO or (ii) insert a new field in CEKKOZZ and use the new field. You need to build up logic in user-exit such that this field will take the value of person who had logged in. This can be done by ABAPer.
Hope this resolves ur problem

Purchase order release strategy with multiple characteristics

Hi All,
We have Purchase order release strategy based on the following characteristics:
Total Net Order Value
Purchasing Organization
Release strategy Type
a few other custom fields
We would like to have PO's with release strategy based on a particular Material Group [say X]. I have created a new Characteristic with respect to CEKKO-MATKL and added this characteristic to the same class.
I have created a new release code [HR] [we need a different person to sign off] and a new release strategy [TR] for which I have assigned the release code HR. In this release strategy, I have set it to get activated for a particular Material Group that does seem to work, but the remaining PO's are not getting triggered for other material groups. For other release strategies, I have left the material group field blank, because they need to be triggered for any material groups except X.
Could you please let me know if I am missing something or is there an alternate approach to this ?
Thank you,
Satish

Hi,
Obviously system will not trigger release strategy in ur case since in the classification data for other strategies u have left it blank excepting X for one strategy.
Since u have added a new characteristic Material group and assigned it to class then system expects an input for Material group for triggering release tab.If this is left blank then system by default will not trigger release strategy tab.
Solution:
First add all existing material groups in values tab of mat group characteristic then maintain the required set of material groups except X in other strategies in classification data.
Hope this is clear to you.

Uzair
