Release code addition in an existing release strategy

Dear All,
Kindly let me know what are the implications when we have to add a release code in already working release strategy?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
Addition of new release code will not affect previously created POs .
but for newly created POs it will add one more level.I think it is desirable results.

Release strategy: User should release only with his highest release code

Hello,
Because of personel absences we want to configure the release strategy so that:
User A or user B releases in the normal case the first level of a PO (with release code 01).
User C (Manager) releases after release code 01 with release code 02.
User A is deputy of user C. In this case user B will release with code 01 and user A will release with code 02.
Because user A can use depending of the case release code 01 or 02 (C deputy) it must be avoided that user B sets release code 01 and 02 for the same purchase order.
Do you know about a solution for this issue

Manuel

Dear W1N,
But the systems knows that A released with code 01 and when A tries to release with code 02 the system knows that the same person of release code 01 is trying with release code 02.
The aim is to avoid the second release from the same person and not to automate the release strategy.
In such a case A has to cancel the release for code 01 (ME28) and wait until B is reachable to do the release of code 01.
When C is absent A knows that his task is to release code 02.
Is this check really not possible?
Best regards
Manuel

Hi Gurus,
Earlier a PO was being released by code A1. This employee has left the company so all the release of POs have been held up. So i want to change it & assign it to a different code B2 , please guide.

Kumar

Hi,
Try to minimize headache. There may be so many factors/characters involves and you need to study the system 1st and then see the other implications too change or NOT.
Example:
You may have release groups, release codes and respective values to be released are following
Release Group A
Release Code: A5u2026 more then 2000K
Release Code: A4u2026.750K to 2000K
Release Code: A3u2026.250K to 750K
Release Code: A2u2026.50K to 250K
Release Code: A1u2026.0 to 50K
Release Group B
Release Code: B5u2026 more then 2000K
Release Code: B4u2026.750K to 2000K
Release Code: B3u2026.250K to 750K
Release Code: B2u2026.50K to 250K
Release Code: B1u2026.0 to 50K
u2026 see example A & B are may be different department. If user get B2 release code instead of A1 ,he can release greater value etcu2026u2026u2026

Release code-Release group

Can there be 1 or many Release Groups assigned to a Release code and vice versa?
Please clarify.
- Pallu

hi,
Yes its possible..
Reason:
The object which is linked to the class and characteristics, may have different characteristics assigned, and for which you have different release codes assigned to release them differently...
So, those objects you assign to R. group and then in tnext tcode you assign these groups to the codes which will be responsible for the release of each document individually....
Ex: diff. release codes may be for one release based on document type other based on price etc...

Can you any body tell about release codes in workflow

Hi,
Can any body tell about release codes in workflow.
Regards,
Boddu Rosaiah.

Hi Naidu,
You use this component if you wish to set up approval procedures for purchase requisitions or other purchasing documents. Under such a procedure, if a purchase requisition or external purchasing document fulfills certain conditions (e.g. the total order value exceeds $10,000), it has to be approved (by the cost center manager, for instance) before it can be processed further. This process of approving (clearing, or giving the "green light" to) a proposed item of expenditure is replicated in the SAP System by the "release procedure".
It is sensible to define separate release procedures for different groups of materials for which different departments are responsible, and to define separate procedures for investment goods and consumption goods.
Features
Each person involved in the release procedure effects release (signifies approval) via a release transaction, using his or her release code. Once effected, a release can also be cancelled with the same code (that is to say, the original status is reinstated).
If linkage to SAP Business Workflow has been defined for a release code, rejection is also possible. This is only possible for purchase requisitions.
Which Documents Can be Released (Approved)?
Release procedures can be defined for the following documents:
Purchase Requisition
The external purchasing documents purchase order (PO), contract, scheduling agreement, request for quotation (RFQ), and service entry sheet

Assign Release Code to user

Where/How do I assign the release code to the individual.

Hi,
Release code assignment to the roles is generally done by Basis team.
PFCG settings required and the authorization object is M_EINK_FRG and also and need to assigned the release codes to it.

Nani.

Release Code In Release Strategy

Dear Experts,
We have configured the release strategy for PR on Devlopment Client.
1. I have created necessary Characteristics and Classes on devlopmnt client and configured the startegy and it has been applied succesfully on Dev client.
Now i want to transport the same to the PRD client , should i require the characteristics and Class again in the PRD client, as else can be transported to the PRD client.
2. Also we have user XYZ who is Purchase manager and we have release code R1 in strategy.
How can i map R1 to XYZ, what is the T Code for the same and authorize him to use ME29N for release of PR.
Best Regards,
sap User

Just follow steps:
PFCG
Create a role or change existing Purchasing role
Maintain the authorization profile:
Manually add authorization object MM_E (MM: Purchasing) if doesn't exist, otherwise just change the existing one.
Add sub-object M_EINK_FRG (Release Code and Group) to above mentioned object MM_E
Add Release Code R1, you may also need release group XXX
Generate and Save
Then SU01 assign the role to User Purchase_Mgr.
Hope this helps.

In Release Simulation (segment of Release Statergy), just click and you will have small pup up screen and there just double click the release codes all you have and you can see all unwanted release codes will be dissapeared and you have only now needed release codes what you configured for the release statergy. Now similuate release & set/reset release .

How to have more than 8 release code for a release strategy

Hi,
In standard only 8 level of release is possible for a release strategy. Our client requires more than 8 levels i.e., more than 8 release codes for a release strategy. How can we achieve this?
Pls provide your views/ideas.
Reards,

Hello,
In case you require more than 8 levels in release strategy , write to SAP, maybe they could give a fitting reply.
By the way , 8 levels of release should be more than enough . Try to incorporate the client business process
within this.

Anis

Two release code in one release strategy

Dear all,
Good Day!
how can i create two release code in one release strategy on Purchase Order
Release code is 07 - P & L Manager and 18 - President
07 will release up to 500,000.00
07 and 18 will release 500,000.00 and up
thanks in advence,
Ermin D. Concepcion

Hi Ermen,
I am not getting the problem, as Mr Barik has already suggested you the correct solution, if you want the path then the path is
IMG>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders-->Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders.
Here you must have already designed the Release codes, Release Indicator and release groups for your strategy, you have to define the "Release Strategies".
Select the group and the strategy and put in the Release codes. and proceed.
Here in the classification TAB please give the values, if this release strategy is to be triggered for less then 500000 NETW field.
and same way define another Release strategy with The NETW value greater then or Equal to 50000.01
I guess you were asking the same thing.

Yawar Khan
