Regarding Release Procedure with classification

Hi All,
Please anybody tell me,is't possible to release at item level in external document like PO,RFQ.
Thanks & Regards
Suresh.

In principle you wouldn't send (/release) part of an external document.
The information at Header level applies to the whole of the document, in other words it can also be considered as applying to each item. For example the payment terms apply to the whole of a PO, not the individual items. The individual items can not be considered complete without the Header information. Consequently the release strategy is set at Header level.
In theory all POs may be created with reference to preceding documents and these may be released at item level e.g. Purchase Reqs. Therefore at the time of creating the PO the individual PR items have been approved from a business point of view, the PO typically represents the overall commercial approval for the items.

Release procedure with classification not getting triggered

Hi,
I have configured the new release procedure for the PR release of type with classification, but its not getting triggered. Earlier my SAP system had without classification in place, but I wanted to have with classification. Can any one suggest how do I switch between two.
Ideally once I create the release group in with classification procedure that procedure gets activated and gets triggered. Unfortunately its not happening in my case. I tried deleting the entries from the without classification side too, but still it doesnt respond. Is there in patch or note missing.
Your suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Hi Jurgen,
I am configuring it for PR and with classification method. Well for simplification I am using just purchase group as characteristics, but still its not working. Earlier system had without classification in place, as its there in a default system and used to get triggered. When I created new procedure its not getting triggered. To be assured I deleted the data from witout classification, but still its not working.
Where as I did the same setting for PO, its working and giving me correct releaes strategy.
My characteristic is PRGRP using the communication structure CEBAN and field as EKGRP
Please suggest me on this.

Release procedure defined at the client level and it use only one class
now suppose you have assigned the 6 char to the class then your release strategy should contain the value in each characteristcs other wise your release will not work.
the bottom line is you have to define the value for each char.

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
Sajid

Hello,
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.

Release Strategy With Classification

Hey All,
I would like to get some information about release strategy with classification for purchase requisation and purchase order.
Please send me some information regarding this.
Thanks
Kawal

hi,
To see the all the linkages firstly see the classifcation and class defined in the sap system at:
SAP easy access --> Cross application components --> classification system --> master data --> characteristics and classes(CT04 and CL02)...
TO see the customisation, check:
Spro --> MM --> Purchasing --> PO/PR etc --> Release procedure --> Rel procedure with classification --> Here check for all the different transactions...like Relase codes, release stategy, access sequence, schema etc...
Also one important point abt it is:
PR is possible to release at header as well as at item level...
But PO and other external docs are only possible to release at header level only...
In the customisation check all the linkages you will get best out of it....

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.

PR release strategy with classification

As part of a rollout, we are migrating an instance of SAP to the template SAP. Both the SAP instances are following u2018PR release strategy with classificationu2019.
The limitation is that I can configure only two release group in PR release strategy with classification. One for overall release and one at item level release. Also, I cannot assign two different release class for the same release group. If I add additional characteristics in the existing class and keep other irrelevant characteristics as blank the release strategy doesnu2019t works. the release strategy does not triggers.
Any pointers to solve this will be highly appreciated.

Hi Ashish,
If your requirement is to have release strategy with more or different characteristics than in the existing system,you may create a new release group and assign the same to release class.There no restriction for having multiple release groups for same release class.Then create new release strategies for the newly created release group and so on.

Release Procedure without Classification

Hi Experts,
i have create a release strategy for the release procedure without classification, which PR document type i use for this? NB?
Do i need to assign a PR document to this release procedure?
Thanks

Hi Chun,
You can not use one release strategy with classification and one more without classification at a time in the system. Only one will work.
For your case, already you have Overall release, and I suggest you go for second class with Itemwise release. With classification, it's possible to use two release strategies at a time based on the document type. ("Overall Release " check box for document type)

Regarding releasing procedure for p.o.

hi sapgurus,
the configuration for p.o. release procedure is working perfectly but whenever i go to me29n or me28 i am getting two step release procedure but in industry if the manager has given excess to me29n/me28 then himslef ca release the p.o by means of clicking both release steps, that means without general manager review the manager can release the p.o by means of clicking both. hence i am willing to restricate each user's acess to other stepd release procedure.
examaple
in me29n/me28 :-
1) manager.
2) general manager.
in this case i want the manager to click on his resepctive release step and should not allow to acess the general manager's relase step's.
thanking you

PR Release Stgy - With Classification & Without Classification -Difference?

Hi
Pls tell me the concept behind this and the difference
Vijay

Hi ,
In without classification only four characterstics are allowed and they are
account assignment category
material group
plant
purchase requisition value
Where as without classification you have more flexibilty and almost all the fields in table EBAN can be used for setting up Release strategy ( Also we can have release strategy at item as well as at header level in with classification )

Release Procedure with materia No. as characterstic.

hi SAPERS,
I am trying to put Release procedure for P.R. by keeping Material No, Plant, Purchase Group as characterstics.
When I assign the Plant, Purchase Group charactersic to Class the Release Procedure is working fine.
By instanct I assign the Material No. charactersic to same class the Release Proocedure is not working.
Please explain me where i did mitake? Can we add the Materia No as characterstic in Release Procedure, If no what are all the reasons.
Thanks in Advance.
Venkat.

Hi
It advisable not to add material number as a release characteristics for PO wheras for PR you can add it ..the job of the release characteristics is to to find the data in the purchasing document and apply the appropriate release stategy to it .this is done through communication structures .CEBAN is the communication structure for PR and CEKKO for PO.
note: if u add material no as a release characteristics u need to add each and every material number created into the class for your release strategy and release group through t code cl20n.

Hi,
Go into trx CL30N and enter the values of the document :
1.If you don't get a result> check in customizing definition of release strategy and check
In trx OLME > PR > define document type
"Overall release of purchase requisitions" flag ( fiield V_T161-GSFRG ) should not be SET
In TRX OLME > OR > release staregy > Release Groups
also FRGFG should not be set
2. If you get one result> check
If you have activated the userexit 'EXIT_SAPLEBND_001'
(Include ZXM06U13) This exit is relevant for the individual release.
If you activating the userexit, please ensure that you implement
the coding line E_CEBAN = I_CEBAN. in the include or deactivate the
exit. Please refer to point 3) of the note 365604.

Purchase Requisition Release Strategy with classification

Hi there,
Please help,
I have the release strategy and workflow working. (Overall Release)
Problem is that Org Structure is not updated so workflow has been configure going to (US) user. As i am using workflow option 1 which is resolved via Group, Code & Plant, I have to have a code for every region and manager to resolve the workflow. I am not using plant as business requirement is overall release.
Scenario is that there are 8 regions with 1 senior region manager and 1 executive.
The region managers can each release up to 20k. Senior region manager must release from 20k - 50k. Executive must release from 50k -250k.
Release Codes:
Regions = L1 - L8
Senior Region Manager = SR
Executive = X1
Characteristics are:
DocType = NB
AccAsingment = K (Cost Centre requisitions)
Purchasing Group = (Each region has own group)
TotValue = 0k -20k, 20k - 50k, 50k - 250k.
Now the release strategies.
Even though it is the same senior manager and executive why do i have to create a new strategy for every region's escalation above 20k taking into account that the business requirement is that the correct region manager has to release before the senior manager can release? It just seems so pedantic when i would rather just add the correct Purchasing Group everytime.
This is only one leg of the Org Structure there are over 40 depts, and managers that will create and release. Do i really need a strategy for every single scenario?
Thanks for taking the time to read.
