Purchase Order release procedure

Hi All,
My client is having following requirement for Purchase Order release procedure.
Plant 1                    -    1 Release code (Manager)
Plant 2             -    2 Release Codes (Manager, Sr Manager)
Plant 3             -    3 Release Codes (Purchase Officer, Manager, Sr Manager)
All plants are assigned to one company code. Please advise me how I can map above requirement in sap.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagi

Hi Nagi,
In PO Realease startegy configuration, you need to decide and select the Release objects for which the system should trigger release for the document. you should work with Characteristics for each object (Your requirement is for 3plants) so in one of your characteristic WERKS should be your field along with other characteristics based on your requirements such as Total Net Value, Doc type etc.
Create Characteristics in CT04 for the class type 032 and proceed maintaining the release Group and Release codes as per your requirement.
Refer the following thread and revert if any confusions...

TWO CURRENCIES IN ONE Purchase Orders Release Procedure.

TWO CURRENCIES IN ONE Purchase Orders Release Procedure.
Please provide a solution if a release strategy is maintained for two currencies like USD and SGD for more clarification please Read the below Requirement.
Requirement for Singapore:
u2022          COMPANY Asia (Singapore) wants its own Purchase order release strategy is based on their local currency (SGD)
u2022          Whereas COMPANY is using only USD as currency in Purchase order release strategy.
u2022          Standard SAP works based on Character currency which is defining in Class of Purchase release strategy and converts with Local currency to compare with Character Currency.
Required analysis:
u2022          The value assigned in classification is based on Conversion from SGD to USD, Due to Exchange rate fluctuations the assigned value is differ by large amounts and hence system is either determining the higher release strategy or Lower release strategy
u2022          But during Release Strategy Configuration the Net order Value is assigned as 3600 USD considering the Exchange as 1.388889.
u2022          As per the exchange rate in the purchase order 1.3799 the system is calculation the PO Net order Value but the Strategy is Determined based on the value maintained according to exchange Rate 1.388889
In the Purchase Order the system is
Ex: Total Purchase Order Value is 4765.21 SGD and 3453.30 in USD
      For Level 1 the value limit is 5000 SGD if it exceeds 5000 SGD it has to go to his manager (Level 2) Exchange rate on 01.04.2008 is 1.3799.
System Considerations:
Possible Solution:
1.        Create a new Class with Characteristic with Currency Value SGD System should determine the class based on the combination of Plant 6000 and Document Category F Purchase Order.
2.        By using Enhancement spot with Function Module ME_RELEASE_STRATEGIE/ ME_RELEASE_STRATEGIE_EKKO
Logic:
1.        System will determine the class PUR_RELEASE from table T16FG if the system finds Plant as 6000 and Document Category as F Then replace PUR_RELEASE with New class as ZPUR _6000.
2.        Maintain Z table for the combination of Plant and Class for future requirement

Hi Mohamed,
You can create separate characteristics far all check points and assign those to class.

Purchase order release workflow - urgent

Hi friends
When iam creating purchase order it trigger the workflow WS20000075 for releasing purchase order in that purpose what can i do..
How can i set the Agents
How can i trigger the events - i think in that purpose using pftc we trigger the workflow.. so i need clear steps from beginning onwards..
my exact requirement
once i create purchase order, the workflow will be triggered..
after that the mail goes to the approver.. if he/she click that mail purchase order release statement want to be open.. after that he/she release purchase order it will goes to the next level..anyone give the step by step procedure..for that
Thanks
Gowrishankar

yes prabakar.. but iam confused..
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075
And for two levels of approvals you have to configure in SPRO the path is
Purchase Order:
SPRO> Material Management->Purchasing->/Purchase order-->Release procedure ---> Procedure with classification ---> set up procedure with classification ---> double click on Release strategies and Workflow.
If you don't know about this configuration, you have to confirm with your MM consultant.
after finish this iam triggering events using pftc
in that pftc iam choosing business object bus 2012 for po release..
i think thats enuf..
After that it is possible to trigger workflow.. when iam create purchase order..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Want to restrict the Purchase order release at lower level...

Dear Friends,
The Problem i am facing is that the release strategy defined in Purchase order is such that it will be released by four authorities,
& When 4th One, The Highest authority releases the order it should not get unreleased by lower level authorities.I want to configure this.
Partially it is completed, as if Tcode me29n is used for cancel release then it is restricted by Going into
SPRO-MM-Purchasing-Purchase Order-Release Procedure for Purchase Order- Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order
& suggesting it there.into Release Indicator
But still it can get unreleased by Tcode me28.
Kindly Suggest,
Gaurav Chopra

Hi,
This is the standard like release srtetegy will not have the restriction only the release do the release . He can also should de release the document.
this can't control.

Email Alert for Purchase Order Release

Hi,
When a PO is subject to release I would like an external email to be sent to the relevant user as per assignments in config.
I have used standard workflow for PO release and this is working with no problems, alerts successfully going to the workflow inbox.
But does anyone know the steps to configure the standard workflow so that an external email is sent?
Thanks

hi
WORKFLOW FOR PO RELEASE PROCEDURE
Steps involved are :
1) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Release Codes > here assign Workflow indicator as "1" against each Release Code
2) SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders > Workflow > Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release Codes.
3) Go to OOCU > here under MM, go to MM-PUR,
4) Click on "activate event linking"
5) Go for "WS 20000075" and for BUS2012 RELEASESTEPCREATED, click on Detailed view button. Activate "Event linkage activated" and also activate "Enable usage of event queue"
and Save.
6) Click on "Assign agents" and proceed all above steps.
BUS2012 is the relevant business object and Releasestep created is the event for the same.
7) Check SWETYPV transaction for the WF you have activated for BUS2012 and confirm.
Test the same by creating a PO and check the SBWP for SAP Mail of respective Users

Purchase order release as per project

I want to send notification to approve purchase orders. I can do this by configuring purchase order release strategy. But I want to identify the approver as per project.
Purchase order has project number in account assignment tab.
Can I relate this in workflow so that notification will be sent to project manager as per assignment in purchase order ?

Release standard workflow is defined based on release groups and codes, so first, in this case you need to setup a release procedure for each structure/manager, having a relationship 1 to 1 between release codes and Releaser/Manager.
For procedure determination, take into consideration that project is not defined in the standard communication structure, since as you might know, you may have multiple account assignment. In that case which is the cost center/project that should be taken into consideration to determine the release procedure.
Therefore, to add this logic and include the project as a characteristic, I would recommend to include a custom exit.

Subcontract purchase order release strategy

Iu2019m trying to customize a release strategy for subcontract purchase order (SC) but PO document is not taking any release strategy.
Now Iu2019m not sure about SAP standard allows to have a release strategy for subcontract purchase orders (SC)?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
1. Please check this link (it is for PR but I think might be useful):
http://www.sap123.com/showthread.php?t=59
2. Remark: You can use user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002, M06E0004 if you want to make your release startegy sensitive for item category - however this was not question.
3. On additonal data tab of the characteristics (assigned to the class), can you see table CEKKO and its field name in the suitable fileds? (CT04)
4. Does your strategy work for other purchase orders (with other document types)?
5. Please check classification settings under your release startegy, whether the values defiend there are in harmony with the values defined in the subcon-PO (I mean purch doc. category, purchasing group, order type, plant). SPRO > MM > Purchasing > PO > Release procedure for POs > Define Release Procedure for POs - here choose release strategies...

Purchase order release startegy

Dear Experts,
We have got release startegy for five release codes i.e L1,L2,L3,L4 and L5 for purchase orders
Release startegy is based on Pur order category,doctype, Net order value and Pur group.
For L1-L5 authorisation(all authorisations) is given for General managers.
Currently when emergency is there general Manager has to release L1 to L5 all release codes.
Requirement is that instead of releasing all can it be possible to release only L5 so that all can be released.( This authorisation is for only for L5)
Once the authorisation is there for all any customisation possible for releasing code L5 so that remaining all release codes can be released.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Dayanand

Hi Mr.Shawn,
I have removed ticks for L1,L2,L3,L4 in Release prerequisites then release startegy L1 L2 L3 L4 kept as Released.
Then Even if release one all releasing.
But Requirement is that when only L5 is released only All shall be removed, other wise remaining Releases shall be based on the old procedure only. L1 to L4 shall be L1 is released then only L2 can be released principle. But in case of L5 releases all shall be released.
Is it possible, what needs to be done ,please suggest.

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..

Purchase order release strategy report

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.

Purchase order Release Stratergy-Error in Class CL01

Purchase Order Release Stratergy:
In CL01(create class) i have created the class FRG_EKKO and saved.Then in CL02(change class) under Basic data-Administrative data we found Assignment field tick is not selected and that is not in changeable mode.
Because of that reason Error occured like Error in Class in SPRO release stratergy. Release is taking place in Development Server but not in Production server.
Regards,
Wilson Babu G

Hi
This indicator shows that objects are assigned to this class.
The indicator is set automatically by the system.
once you assign the class to any objects then this flag will come automatically.
Please check if you have assigned the characteristics to the Class in CL02
Please check if you have assigned the release strategy to the Class in CL24N
Thanks & Regards
Kishore
