Purchase Order Release Help

Dear friends,
My question is about PO approval strategy. I add a new field to CEKKO (ERNAM - name of person who created the object) and create a characteristic (Z_ERNAM) that referrers to CEKKO-ERNAM. Then assign this characteristic to PO release class. All other release strategy customizing has been done successfully. But when I create PO that is expected to subject a release strategy doesnu2019t happen so. When I remove this characteristic (Z_ERNAM) all POsu2019 I create are subject to release strategy. How can I achieve POsu2019 are subject to release strategy with characteristic Z_ERNAM.
Best regards
Thank you

Hi,
Did u maintain any values for that characteristic, if not then please maintain it and then check again.
If u have configured it correctly then release strategy will trigger automatically.......
regards,
Uzair

Hi,
Basically in EKKO table there is a field name FRGZU -

Problem in Purchase Order Release Workflow

Hello Experts,
I am working in a workflow for releasing PO.In this workflow I have created just one activity step type to release a purchase order.Here I have taken PO(BUS2012) object as input parameter.In the activity step type I am using a custom task(TS99900011).In this task I have used BUS2012 as Business Object and SINGLERELEASE as method.Here I have used 3 terminating events of BUS2012 object.They are Released, Reset and significantly changed. I have just copied the standard task (TS20000166).
Now my activity step has four outcomes.We can see them in Outcomes tab.
1.Purchase Order Released(Cgy:External Events)
2.Not Used(Cgy:External Events)
3.Purchase Order Changed Significantly(Cgy:External Events)
4.Processing obsolete(Cgy:Internal Events).
I have set agent assignment as user Manas.
Now, when I am testing the workflow with a valid PO number as input the work item goes to my inbox for release the PO as expected.There I can release or reject the PO.But while saving after releasing or rejecting the PO the work item still remains in Workspace Inbox.Any of the four outcomes is not appropriate for the activity.
Can anybody suggest any solution to overcome the situation.
Are the external events are really helpful in developing workflow activity?Please suggest.

Hi Manas,
There is one option, where you can stop the workitem and even entire workflow.
Use Fork for parllel processing
Have a Wait step with BUS2105-Significantlychanged event and outcome to the end of workflow.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

No of levels in purchase order release more than 8

Dear All,
We have a situation where some of our purchase orders need to be approved by more than 8 people.Can any one help me in telling-> whether we can create release strategies having more than 8 levels of approvals.If yes how to do it since I could see only max of 8 levels of approvals in the release strategy configuration for purchase order(release strategy with classification).
Regards,
Feroz Choudhury

Hello,
As mentioned by Uttkarsh, It is not possible to go beyond 8 levels in release strategy.
More than 8 levels of approval is not a best practice, if your requirement still demands this explore the options of using Workflow functionalities in ECC or if approval is complex suggest SRM where you can handle n-level approval.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

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.
Regards,
Ashwini.

Purchase order -- release strategy

Dear Friends,
I have a requirement for Purchase order Release.
The problem area is in purchase order ... there will be 2 Relase approvals
01 Mr. Abcd
02 Mr. Xyz
After level 1 approval and before level 2 approval ... i want to do some actions.. these actions are related to another product named savvion .
My question is can i stop the document to be edited by 02 ( Mr.Xyz ) untill i complete my process after 01( Mr.Abcd ) has finished his work.
This is to be done on top priority.
Please help me.
Cheers
Jitesh.

Hi,
Yes, We can stop the document to be edited by 02 until 01 has finished his work.
After 01 approved the document need to be correct, go to PO header menu release strategy TAB and 01 approved to be revoked (means double click on the tick mark, it will revoked).
Hope it is useful for you.

Purchase Order Release Strategy Approval

HI All,
I have an issue with the Purchase Order Release Strategy, I need to set the Release strategy at 2 levels.
Level one will have 1 approver
Level two must have two approvers.
The scene is:
Level one will approve all purchase orders betwee 400 to 5000 euros. 1 approver only
Level two will approve all purchase orders above 5000 euros. 2 approvers.
The problem is that the level two approvers must have the same Purchasing Group, Release strategy and Code, that is.
Pur. group G70, Release Group GC and release strategy DF.
I have completed the customising and the Release simulation is working correctly but when the PO is created the is no release strategy proposed.
CL20N is completed for both levels and works correctly for level one approval but not for level two
Can any please help
Leslie

Hi,
May be in your case the values are not properly designed in release strategy for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) release characteristic.Now go for creation of following release characteristics
1. PO Order Type (ZPO_BSART),
2. Company Code (ZPO_ BUKRS),
3. Purchasing Organization (ZPO_EKORG),
4.Plant (ZPO_WERKS)
5. Purchasing Group (ZPO_ EKGRP) and
6. Total net PO Value (ZPO_GNETW)
Create one release class ZPO_CLASS & then add all above release characteristics
And then design your release strategies as required.
AND under release characteristic for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) keep following values
A. <= 400 EUR
B. 400.01- 5000 EUR
C. >5000 EUR
As you already created Release Group GC & release strategy DF (1st level), now create another release strategy DS (2nd level).
NOTE: As you needed one releaser at 1st level and then two releasers in 2nd level. So create three release codes C1 for 1st level and C2 & C3 for 2nd level.
In designing release strategies for PO , you can keep value 400.01- 5000 EUR with release codes C1 under DF release strategy and Keep value >5000 EUR with release codes C2 & C3 under DS release strategy.

Purchase order release strategy based on over delivery tolerance level

Hi Boss,
I like to set the Purchase order release strategy based on the over delivery tolerance. But when i checking, the over delivery tolerance filed UEBTO is not in the communication structure CEKKO. Can you please help me how should i extend the CEKKO with field UEBTO.
I do not have the ABAP experience, please guide me with coding.
Thank you,

Hi Siva:
You should request the development key for this structure under your SAP system, then you can add the extra fields in CEKKO.
Good luck

Purchase order release table

Hi,
we have a purchase order release strategy defined in our company. I am trying to make a SAP query that will show the list of purchase orders that are hanging for approval. I am trying to find the table that hold the information of which purchase order is on whose approval screen.
Please advise
SAPXPT

Hi,
You can use EKKO and T16FS tables and write your own logic to create Z- report with the help of ABAPer.
From EKKO table you will get following details for each PO
FRGGR    Release group
FRGSX    Rel. Strategy
FRGKE    Release ind.
FRGZU    Release status
Release ind - FRGKE will help to filter POs from EKKO table which are not release yet completely that is having blocked status or some other defined one except C.
Get release level from T16Fs table by giving following inputs which you will get from EKKO table
FRGGR    Release group
FRGSX    Rel. Strategy
Yuo will received release number of relese codes in sequence as per the strategy.
E.g. code 01, 02 and 02 for release strategy XX and Release group YY.
Now you know for perticular PO what is release strategy and what are the levels of PO approval i.e. 2 level, 3 level or 8 levels.
In EKKO table we have field FRGZU - Release status , this field will give you details at which level Po is release
E.g. if this field has value XXX that means PO is release at 3rd level and pending for approval at 4th level and you can find the 4th level release code from T16FS table.
If field value is blank that means pendingat 1st level.

Multi-level Purchase Order Release

Hi All,
Please help me on this.
I have already tested in QAS multi-level release but the scenario is, there's only 1 Asst Manager(AM) before. So if AM release the PO/FO, then next would be the Manager and then MM Head.
How to configure in OMGS if scenario would be the following:
Scenario 1
Amount-> 600,00 Php
Document Type -> Purchase Order
Releaser would be AM(release code 08) then M(01) then MM Head(07)
Scenario 2
Amount-> 600,00 Php
Document Type -> Framework Order
Releaser would be AM(release code 09) then M(01) then MM Head(07)
Thank you.
Best regards,
Jesielle

hi, there ,
if only the PO type make the difference for your scenarios then you can use standard Charateristic 'FRG_EKKO_BSART' and define two release code given assigned into two release stratage in the same release group you are in ECC6.0

Purchase Order Release Report

Hi,
Is there a report that I can run that will give me the following information with regards to Purchase Orders released: PO number, Date Entered, Username, Release Code, Release Date and Released By?
Thank-you in advance.
Regards,
Tracy

Hi,
I think there is no such report as you have to develop the report through abap . With the useage of the tables i.e. EKKO,EKPO and few more you can have all this information..
