Purchase requisition release (WS00000038)
Hi
I'm, testing the workflow WS00000038 for liberate purchases requisition.
The workflow run succesfully, when i liberate the purchase requisition, this follow the standard flow correctly and send the respective workitems (TS00007986, TS00008018 ), to the respectives actors.
But in the case when i receive the request for liberate but reject the position, the workflow don't execute the TS00008014, negative conformation, the workflow, follow the alternative events (SIGNIFICATLYCHANGED), that finish the workflow, and don't send message to the initiator of workflow.
I don't know why the workflow don't execute the standard task (TS00008014) when the event was triggered, in the transacción when i execute the reject of position.
For your suggestions.
Thanks
Hi all,
Here's the scenario: We are developing our workflow strategy for purchase reqs. We have several levels of approval based on Purchasing group,Rel code, amount, and so forth. My problem is when the first rel code is release PR and he has also able to release other .my question is if one rel code release a person does not authorised to release other . I am using standard workflow template like WS00000038.
Is that possible? If so, please advice..
Thanks in advance. Points will be given..

Purchase requisition release strategy tab missing
Hi all
I configured purchase requisition release strategy and ME51N is working issuing no error but it is not displaying Release Strategy Tab , please help me where i am wrong.hi,
check few reasons:
1. There might be more than 1 release strategy using the same class, due to which it is not possible for sap system to determine the unique rel. strategy..this normally happens when you copy the exsisting class and assign it to own new one...
2. check the release strategy OMGSCK, is there any problem with your release strategy...
3. Check whether you have maintained all the classified field in the document or not..
4. check whether the release is assigned to any workflow...if so, then check the inbox pls...

Purchase Requisition Release Procedure Modification
Hi
In Purchase Requisition Release, we have two deviations in business requirement from standard SAP behaviour:
1. In multistep release, system allows PR release to be revoked by a lower level release authorized person even though higher level release has been done. Example, PR Release has release codes A1, A2 and A3, A2 can revoke release even after A3 has released the same. How do I prevent this from happening?
2. If business requirement is to have release procedure based on item cost per unit and not on total value of the line item, how can this be achieved?
Appreciate any guidance on these issues
Thanks
SriramHi,
There is BADI ME_REQ_POSTED
in method POSTED you can write your code to trigger the workflow and get the information related to release strategy and
Purchase requisation .
for more than one PR use below logic .
LOOP at im_eban into gwa_im_eban .
concatenate gwa_im_eban-banfn gwa_im_eban-bnfpo into gwa_objkey .
add data into container -----------------
gwa_event_container-element = 'PurchaseRequisition'.
gwa_event_container-value = gwa_im_eban-banfn.
append gwa_event_container to gi_event_container.
clear: gwa_event_container.
gwa_event_container-element = 'ItemOfRequisition'.
gwa_event_container-value = gwa_im_eban-bnfpo.
append gwa_event_container to gi_event_container.
get the other details and create event to start workflow .
select single * from eban into lwa_eban where banfn = gwa_im_eban-banfn
and bnfpo = gwa_im_eban-bnfpo .
if sy-subrc <> 0 .
call function 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'
exporting
objtype = 'BUS2009'
objkey = gwa_objkey
event = 'zcreated'
tables
event_container = gi_event_container
exceptions
objtype_not_found = 1
others = 2.
ENDLOOP .
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Thanks and Regards,

Release code - Purchase requisition - Release Procedure
Hello,
In the purchase requisition release procedure with classification, we are defining release codes say K, P etc.
My doubt is , Is this being defined else where based upon the designatin of the person in the organisation, or else, we are defining here straight away?
Best regards,
K.Kumaran.HI
You are correct, you need to define the release code there only. There is no other place where it is defined. What you have to ensure is make sure that it is of Two character and not single. Assign the codes against the designation of the person as per your requirement.

Purchase Requisition Release at Header Level
Hi MM experts,
We are on ERP6. Can we activate purchase requisition release at header level (ie overall requisition dollar level - sum total of all requisition line items) just for one business (company code) without affecting rest of client which uses release strategy at requisition line item level?
Is it possible to share the same document type, e.g. NB that is used by other business?
Many thanks.
ThomasWith the release procedure with out classification , it is possible to release the PR at header level based on the value of the PR . In determination of release strategy , you can maintain the value , currency and release stratergy .
But to restrict this to a particular comany code , you may use the exit M06B0002 where in you can write the logic .

Workflow for purchase requisition release strategy
Hi all,
I need an urgent help on Workflow for Purchase Requisition Release. The requirement is that when a purchase requisition with a given combination (Purchasing Group, Material Group and Account Assignment Category) is created and saved, it should trigger a workflow for approval of release or rejection to one specific business manager. If he dont responds in 2 days, it should be sent to other business manager. If any one of them releases the requisition, it should send a mail to the requestor that the requisition is released. And if it is rejected, then also a mail to be sent to the requester informing that his requisition is rejected...
Can anyone take some pain and guide me step by step procedure to implement this or to use any existing one.... I know its BUS2009 thats used in this but really dont know how to implement it properly.
Its urgent...

This BAdI is used in the application component Scheduling Agreements (MM-PUR-OA-SCH).
This BAdI includes the following methods:

Change Data After Release Creation (AFTER_CREATION)

Tranposrt - Purchase Requisition Release Strategy with Classification
Gurus!
Tell me if I want to Transport the Purchase Requisition release strategy with classification. The Data in each charisteristics in each PR Strategy that I have set in Dev is not getting transported to Quality.
Do I have to enter the data in characteristics again in Quality and the same procedure I have to apply for Production.
If yes, in this scenario, Can I make Production modifiable.
Regards
SajidHello,
Create a special ID in PRD with access to change characteristics. This ID should be released for specific purposes and with approval (project manager/SAP support manager). You can also turn on auditing so that all activites performed are logged which can be used to satify auditors.

Overall Purchase requisition Release strategy : Changed after Rejected
Hi All,
I have activated overall purchase requisition Release strategy (20000077) . And its working fine when PR is released at each level and saved.
Problem I have is when PR is rejected .
When PR is rejected , workitem is created for initiator with ME52 transaction. When initiator changes the contents of PR and saves , the release strategy should resume back from where it stopped. Thats means when Approver A rejects the PR, after initiator make changes , the workflow should trigger back with a workitem for release to approver A.
But its not happening as expected. When Approver A rejected the PR and initiator changes the PR , Nothing is triggered, as there is no event raised at this point.
ME52 changes for PR is not trigerring any event which can trigger the WF.
Is there any way we can trigger Workflow in this scenerio.
Please suggest.Hi Subhashini,
This all depend on release strategy. release should reset completely on tha change.
For the increase of quantities or values you can maintain tolerance limits in the Customizing. When you increase the amount or value via the tolerance limit the system will reset the release.
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.
changeability in Release indicator also play a major role. You should set it to either 3 or 4. Now if you change any field, which is also used in any charecteristics in release, it will lead to reset of release startegy.

Release Purchase Requisition - "Release strategy"
Hi there,
I am trying to release a purchase requisition. I looked in the table "EBAN" and i can see the entry or in other words, the requisition i created. In the Release indicator, Release status and Release strategy fields, these are empty. How do i add information to these fields which appear to have missing data?
Speedy repsponse would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Motolani FatugaHi Motolani
spro>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Requisition>Release Procedure>Procedure with Classification>Set Up Procedure with Classification-->Release strategy
Select release strategy> Go to details>classification
here check what are the charactaristic and what are the values maintained for it
Check this for all release strategy
Mostly PR release strategy is based on Document type and PR Value
Check whether UR PR fits in release strategy criteria
Suppose Total value of requisition is maintained as 1000-2000
If UR PR value is less than 1000 Then PR will not subject to release

Purchase Requisition Release Strategy wont trigger
All:
I have set up what i thought was a simple purchase requisition release strategy. Parameters are as follows:
1.) Doc Type = NB set up as CEBAN-BSART
2.) Acct Assn Category = k set up as CEBAN-KNTTP
3.) Purch Org = 300 set up as CEBAN-EKORG
4.) Overall Value = 0-1000, 1000-10000, 10000-50000, >50000 set up as CEBAN-GFWRT
Release group is set for overall release, i've checked the release strategy with OMGQCK and everything was good to go, checked CL30N and everything was triggering, checked table T16FS and there weren't any fishy entries. Oh also, i've tried deleting and recreating the entire release strategy at least 3 times.
Whenever i create a purchase requisition, i get no release tab. Not sure what else i'm missing here.
Any help is appreciated!I created 4 characteristic with the above mentioned criteria (doc type, purch org, net value, & account assignment category). I assigned all 4 of these characteristics to a class.
Matrix is as follows:
0-1000, doc type NB, purch org 3000, acct assignment 'k' needs approval from release code 01
1000-10000 doc type NB, purch org 3000, acct assignment 'k' needs approval from release code 01 & 02
10000-50000 doc type NB, purch org 3000, acct assignment 'k' needs approval from release code 01, 02, & 03

Report from Purchase Requisition Release to creation of PO
Hello everyone,
I have a question.
We at our company use Purchase Release strategy.
we release a purchase requisition from transaction me54n and after that a team picks the requisition up in ME57 and make a PO from there.
My question is there a SAP report that shows data from the date the requisition was released until the Purchase Order was made?
Thank you all for your helpHi
I don't think so you will get date iwse report but you can try this..
Go in ME5A report and there give status B-(Po create) and execute report you will get PR list for which Po is created in system
