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.

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 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...

  • Purchase Order Release 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

  • 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

  • Dead Line Monetering in Purchase Order Release Workflow

    Hi Experts,
                     I have  activated Standard Purchase Order Release workflow and it works fine now i have a requirement of Dead Line monetering for 2 days. In Standard Release Activity TS20000166 if i give 2 days in Latest End.
    Will it work in such a way that if the first approvar does not take any action for 2 day then it automatically esculates to the next person in the release strategy.
    Or should i use Modeled Deadline for esculation to next Level.
    Regards,
    Hari

    Hi,
    If you just have 2 days on the latest end tab, the workflow will only send a deadline notification to the current agent and WILL NOT escalate.
    You have to use modelled deadline and in that branch route the workflow to the next approver based on your agent determination rules.

  • 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

  • Change in Purchase Order Release Strategy Values

    Dear All,
    I am in process of changing Purchase Order release strategy values.
    I have following release strategy -
                           Current Value                  (Proposed Value)
    Level 1 -         Upto INR 0.1 Mn               (Proposed value - Upto 1.0 Mn)
    Level 2 -         From 0.11 Mn to 0.5 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 1.01 Mn to 5.00 Mn)
    Level 3 -         From 0.51 Mn to 1.0 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 5.01 Mn to 10.0 Mn)
    Level 4 -         Above 1.0 Mn                  (Proposed Value - Above 10.0 Mn)
    My questions are -
    1) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are not yet released?
    2) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are released?
    3) Are there any risk factors?
    Can you pl. put light on above questions?
    Regards,
    Prashant Kolhatkar

    Hi,
    Actually, what you had given is not enough to determine if the existing PO will be impacted or not
    If you are just changing the classification but not changing the number of release level of the release code in the release strategy, the partial released PO will not be impacted unless there's PO changes. PO that are released will definitely not be impacted unless there are changed.
    In general, after a release strategy is determined for PO, SAP will retrieve the latest list of release code of that release strategy for display for that PO. If this list never change (mean you only change classification of the release strategy), then they will not be apparent to the user. But if this list change (you add new release code, replace existing release code or remove release code), then you will see some discrepency on screen as you will only see the modified list of release code and not the old list of release code
    Hope this help

  • 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 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.
