Purchase Req Release Reset After Addition of New Component in Service Order

Hello,
We have a scenario where we create a service order, add some operations, and then some components to the operations. Note that we are set up to use the same purchase req for all components so all components, regardless of operation, are on the same req.
We then release all lines on the purchase req and continue on to convert to purchase orders. In some cases, the PO's are then received.
Now, it is discovered that we need to add addtional components to the same service order so we do that. These new components are added to the original purchase req. Upon saving the service order, all of the previously released lines have reverted back to unreleased. Very frustrating since some of the req lines are already converted to purchase orders.
Note that the changability flag is set to 4 for our release indicator.
We are at a loss as to how to fix this. Anyt insights are appreciated.
Regards,
Greg

Hello All,
Thank you for your replies.
@Sebastien: We are using collective PR's. If we cannot solve, we will entertain individual PR's
@Maheswaran: It's MM from the PR perspective but since it is only happening when the PR's are tied to the service order, I asked here. We are releasing at the line level of the PR.
@Linganna: Are you talking about an enhancement to create individual PR's? That is taken care of in configuration, no?
Thanks again and regards,
Greg

MM Workflow - Purchase Req Release

Hi,
I have set-up MM Workflow to notify a user to release outstanding reqs. I used BUS2105/TS20000159 This works as expected. However the business want a summary of the req details to appear in the message. The standard message has no description. It just shows the Purchase Req No in the Subject Line.
I was hoping to call BUS2105 ->Method->PurchaseRequisition.GetDetail1. This calls BAPI: BAPI_PR_GETDETAIL and would give me the details I require. I would then populate this data in the body of the message.
I am pretty new to Work Flow and was hoping you could guide me in the steps required to achieve this please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Phil

Hi,
Firstly create a workflow container element of type as key parameter in the business object
1 .Create a step in the workflow
2. Create a task in the workflow
3. Assign the businees object in the task..
4. Create a container element in the task
5. Create binding between the TASK and METHOD of business object
6. Create binding between Workflow container element and Task Container element.
7. Then in Basic data of workflow ( HAT ICON) go to start events and assign the business object
and the event which has to trigger the workflow.
8. Create a step called mail so as to know whether it has triggered the workflow when the Business
object had triggered.
or
Switch on the event trace (SWELS) and check the event trace SWEL... if the workflow is triggered you would find reciever as workflow..
If you still have to view graphically the goto
Tutorials> Business Workflow> and see the topic how to create activity step in the workflow.
Hope this would help you.

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.

Purchase req release through workflow

Hi all,
         i am under the process of releasing purchase req in workflow its a overall release there are two business objects for that one is bus2009 and the other is 2105 actually 2105 is for overall release but there are no attributes for that particular object if i need to add any value as expression in my mail do i need to create my own attribute or is there any other way to handle this.....
Thanks

The required value that is required for Release is Release Code. If you are using Standard Wflow then this is passed along with event only you have to make sure you have proper configuration in SPRO. The PR number gets passed automatically thu event. You can make use of Workflow Template WS00000038.
Any custom stuff you can code in Attribute but in that case you have to create a subtype of standard Business object and then code in it and then delegate it. You can delegate by
SWO1->Give Business Object Name->Settings->Delegate
Check this link for programming related to attributes

Add a new component in Production order while not being in BOM

Hi all,
I would like to know how to forbid the addition of a new component in a Production order that doesn't exist in the BOM.
Currently when we create a Production Order, the components of its materials are read from the BOM. If we add a component that doesn't exist in the bom the system allows it without any problem. We want to forbid this and let components be added to a PO only when they take part in the BOM.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

SS,
You can use an userexit to check before saving the order, based on the BOM(Order master data tab) used in the order, it should validate the component material number. If it finds a new material in the order, it should terminate the save with a message to user.
The following enhancement is available for production orders:
PPCO0008 Enhancement for adding and changing components
This enhancement is used to check components (for instance against a standard parts database), which have added to or changed in an order. This check can then refuse to copy a component into the order or can replace one material number with another.
The enhancement PPCO0008 contains the following enhancement components:
Function exit
EXIT_SAPLCOMK_006
Enhancement for adding and changing components
Activities
1. Create the enhancement
To do so, create a new project or use an existing project.
2. Activate the project.
The enhancement can only take effect after you have activated the project.

Prasobh

Adding Distribution KEY (GLEI) to a new Component at Process order Create

Hello Experts.
We have a Process Order where all components have the GLEI Distribution Key assigned. FOr this particular Process order, our Scheduler routinely adds an additional Material Component (with a specific batch number to save operators from having to key in the batch number when reorting production). The problem is, that when she adds this additional component, the Distribution Key field is greyed out so we cannot assign the GLEI key. This causes the demand for that particular item to show on dates that dont work for us. Should it be possible to manually assign the GLEI key to components at the Process Order create stage?
*Note, I have also tried adding the extra component at the Planned order stage, and while the screen allows me to enter all of the details (including Distribution key), when I save the Planned order, the new component does not get saved.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Purchase Requistion Release Reset by ME54n & ME54

Dear all
Once PR is created, then Released by ME54n or ME54, then RFQ is processed wrt PR, then after if user want to reset release by ME54, the system prompts error message and not allowed reset release. BUt if user use T-code ME54n, the system allows to reset release.
we need, the system should not also allow to reset release for T-code ME54n.
Please suggest solution
Thanks
RS

Dear Vivek,
I raised this to SAP and got reply from SAP.
===========================================================================
ME54N allows the user to unrelease a purchase requisition linked to a
purchase order or a request for quotation. Please see following
attached note 686022 which explains this behavior.
Symptom
You create a purchase order (or a request for quotation) with reference
to a released purchase requisition.
If you use ME54N to unrelease the purchase requisition, the error
message ME110 (or ME109) is not processed.
Reason and Prerequisites
ME54N allows the user to unrelease a purchase requisition linked to a
purchase order or a request for quotation. This is correct behaviour andconstitutes a new design.
The following modification keeps the old functionality (ME54) available.You have to customize message ME110 (or ME109) as an error message.
After pressing the cancel release button, the system will process an
information message (ME110 or ME109) and the release will not be
cancelled.
If you want to use the old functionality in ME54, you can implement the
modification as note 686022.
Hope this informatoin will be helpful.
===========================================================================
Can you suggest, the error settings is already there and its trigger only for ME54, and not for ME54n
AS per the reply from SAP, can advice me on this
As per your previous reply, i got basis team and authorization team, to whom i need to ask to set M_EINK_FRG for ME54n?
Thanks
RS

Exchange Sync Not Working After Addition of New DC

We have several Iphones in my business that all sync Mail/Contacts/Calanders over the air. Everything had been working fine, until I installed a new Domain Controller to the domain (details below). I am sure it is just a small issue that is being overlooked, but so far it eludes me.
What we have (our environment)
*Exchange 2003 SP2 on a Win 2k3 server - we use OWA and Activesync - all on one server, NO frontend/backend setup.
*Original DC - Win 2k3 server with DNS and DHCP
*New DC added - Win 2k8 r2 with DNS and DHCP
The Domain Controllers Both replicate all information without errors and nothing has been changed on the exchange server prior to the addition of the new DC and the sync issues.
I am hoping someone could help guide me in the right direction here and maybe help me find the missing piece of the puzzle.
Thanks to all in advance!

Problem Solved.
After struggling with all the potential problems that a new AD/DNS/DHCP server could pose to my Iphone active sync, I then started checking my exchange server settings from top to bottom and found in the Virtual Directory I created for active sync, under the directory security tab and in the Auth and access control section that somehow the basic authentication check box was unchecked and the domain wasn't set.
How and when or if these settings changed is unknown to me, but the problem did not present it self until after I added the second Domain Controller to the environment.
Oh well, all is well now.

Purchase Req release strategy help

PR's generated from MRP are being blocked, however when I convert a planned order from MRP into a PR it is automatically released. I want MRP generated Reqs to be also released. I tried creating a new class, characteristic and strategy group but ran into problems when assigning the class to the group. Basically we just want all reqs created from MRP to be released and not go through workflow. Any ideas? My inital thought was to use the creation indicator EBAN-ESTKZ with the value of B (MRP) and U (converted planned orders)

hi Ryan
U can use only one release class in PR release strategy
error is because ur trying to use another class add the charactaristics ib existing class and configure release strategy

PO Release Resetting after Value Reduction

Hi,
Although I searched through the forum but I was not able to find any practical answer to the query. When there is a value reduction of quantity or price in a PO, if after reduction PO doesnu2019t fall into another release strategy, POu2019s current release strategy doesnu2019t reset. Customer has such a demand that whenever a reduction occurs in a PO, it doesnu2019t have to fall into different strategy, all previous approvals should be reset and approval of PO should restart from the beginning. I also found that to complete such a requirement I need to use user exit ZXM06U22 but I couldnu2019t succeed to write the ABAP code.
Any idea, thought would be appreciated.
Thank you
Metin

Hi,
When you reduce quantities or values the system only resets the release
if ANOTHER release strategy is determined for the lower quantity or the
lower value. If no other release strategy is determined by the reduction
of the amount or value, the system will keep already existing releases.
For example:
Once the approval has been made for 5.000 EUR there is no need to
re-approve it again till the total net amount is lower than 5.000 EUR.
(e.g. 2.500 EUR or 3.000 EUR)
The release indicator will only be reset if the total net value of
the PO is HIGHER than the old one (5.000 EUR).
This is the standrard behaviour.
For more information please refer to notes 662993 and 493900.
Regards,

Some purchased songs not playing after moving to new computer

I migrated my music library to a new computer by moving the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to an external hard drive then to the new computer. When I synced my iPhone using the new computer, everything synced fine the first time except for an error saying three songs could not be converted properly. When I try to play the songs in iTunes, it tells me they are not authorized to play on the new computer then asks me to login to authorize (even though I already had logged in beforehand). Even after logging in again they won't play. The tracks won't play on the iPhone either.
The three tracks are part of a full album which I purchased via the music store on my iPhone. They synced to my old computer with no problem. They show up in my purchases section in iTunes. And the other 8 tracks from the same album work just fine. And I just double checked, and the tracks no longer play on the old machine either. The only weird thing was that when I synced it appeared as though iTunes downloaded the songs again even though they were already in the existing library. Any idea what's going on here and how to fix it?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library (but do not hide from iCloud), close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not in My Library. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading click the small download activity widget near the search box and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. This may improve the reliability of subsequent downloads.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Hi Experts,
I work on different kind of req's like
1) MRP req's
2) Work Order req's
3) Project req's
4) Manually approved req's
As per my observation every req gets released in a different way(Iam an SAP MM enduser iam not an expert in SAP)
I need your help to find out the way to know the release date for all type of req's instead of manually tracking.

Thanks for your help.
By using CDHDR & CDPOS iam getting the required result howevere the problem iam facing is identifying the req line items.
The way iam following in CDPOS is first iam filtering the Filed name EKGRP then iam checking the table key & then identifying the particular req line item.But the problem is when iam downloading the report to excel the line item value is becoming Zero.Please advise.
For Example req# 25613998 Line item 10
Table key value in the system report is 510002561399800010 & the field name is EKGRP
when I download the report in to excel the table key value in the excel is 510002561399800000 in excel iam unable to identify the particular req line item #.
Please help.

Why can't I download a purchased book via cloud after I got new phone?

I purchased a book in ibook and downloaded it just fine. Couple months later Apple switched my old 4s for a new 4s because it was damaged. I re-installed ibook and synced and the book showed up in purchased items with an icloud sign but when I tried to download it it just said "downloading" but didn't do anything and went back to the icloud sign.

You should be able to. Make sure you are doing it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. If you are and it isn't working, download it to iTunes on your computer and sync it to your phone.
