Purchase Order Release Strategies for Changed Amount

Hi Gurus,
We have a unique request from the business to set the release strategies for POs based on the Still to Deliver amount, not the Net Total Amount of the PO.
Example: Configuration is PO total amount <$5K requires only L1 approval. PO total amount >$5K requires L1 and L2 approval. PO was created for $8K and was release using L1 and L2 approvals. Receipts were posted to PO in the amount of $7K. Now the buyer has added an additional line item for $1K. The PO total amount now shows $9K ($8K + $1K), the Still to Deliver field shows only $2K ($1K from original remaining amount + $1K from new line item). Business wants the release strategy for this change order to go through L1 only since the Still to Deliver amount is <$5K.
Has anyone done this before? Any ideas??
Thanks,
Gabe

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

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"

If memory serves correctly, you have to use change documents for this.
Read the documentation for FM CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ . You will also find lots of information in the forum.

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.

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

Creating workflow for purchase order release.

Hi friends
I want step by step detail about creation of workflow for purchase order release..
After release purchase order it will goes to the two level of approval..
after that the workflow should be completed...
how can i develope the workflow for that scenario..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi Gowrishankar,
You can get step by step workflow for PO using standard workflow
<b>Release of Purchase Order :WS20000075</b>
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.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhakar Dharmala

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

Graphical view in Purchase order release strategy

Hi Experts,
I have added new position in existing Purchase order release strategy which is running properly.
I am facing the problem of visual display in header on tab release stratege for the PO which are already released by respective authority.

As per new modification release agencies are 5 nos.

As 4 persons involved in PO release the graphical display shows 5 agencies for release but release tick infront of these show only 4.
My Problem is client wants correction in this graphical display.
