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 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
Sriram

Hi,
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 .

Problem in purchase requisition release strategy code

Hi
We are facing a problem in purchase requisition, a new release strategy was created and change request transported but when PR is displayed in release strategy chart a same user is showed in different release strategy code.
Note: new strategy was copied from other.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
As you said tht you have copied the release stategy n created the new one...
If you do so, you would have copied the class also...to which the release group is attached...
If this is the case, then system doesn't recognise the new one, and inorder to solve it you have to define the new characteristic and class...then assign this class to the release group and make your release strategy again...
Once you do this check the release strategy at OMGSCK...and then try at PR...
You do all settings at :
SPRO >> IMG>> MM >> Purchasing >> PR >> define release strategy >> W/o classification >> here edit characteristics/class and all other link are provided...

Overall purchase requisition's Workflow : mechanism of release code

Hi all,
i need to implement Overall purchase requisition standard workflow ; i need to have 2 actors for process's validation, so i set release code like this :
01 - ACTOR1
02 - ACTOR2
The workflow is launched, the ACTOR1 received a work item in his workplace, whe he execute the work item, the transaction ME54N is launched. Well. But the ACTOR1 can a decision for him but also for ACTOR2, why ? the process is not good for me. If ACTOR1 has taken a decision the workflow of release code 01 is finished. An other workflow is launched for release code 02, when the ACTOR2 go to the transaction ME54N he can take a decision for his relase code but he can also cancel the previous decision of ACTOR1, it's not good for me, can you explain to me ?
Thanks for help.
Cheers.

Interesting solution using the user-exit.
I just finished modifying the delivered overall purch req approval WF. I needed to add a few fields for reporting so I created virtual attributes via delagation on BUS2105. I created approval and initiator agent attributes and email addresses. It works fine and I don't have maintain any further code other than what is in my business object which I can use again and again.

T.Code for Release Procedure for Purchase Order Type

Hi Frd
im working in ECC 6.0.
OMGS is t.code for Release Procedure for Purchase Order Type in SAP 4.6.
Can anyone tell me what is the t.code for Release Procedure for Purchase Order Type in ECC 6.0 .the OMGS t.code is not working in ECC.
Thanks
By
Pari

Hi Rajasekharan,
Go to tcode ME22 and enter the Purchase order number.
inside the Display screen,u can see a GREEN flag button on the Application Toolbar.
Click on a item and press the Green Button.
U will see the release code,provided the Purchase order is set to release strategy,after that Go to tocde ME28 enter the release code ,along with Document number and then release the Purchase order.
Actually the tcode for releasing purchase order is ME28

Release approval procedure and purchase requisition

Hello gurus,
just now I discovered a strange behaviour (in my view) in one of our client's system:
There is a release strategy for certain purchase requisitions. When I create one of those, the release strategy is applied and the Requisition Processing State is set to "In release" automatically.
But now comes the strange part: I can create a PO and copy that same purchase requisition item into it and save the PO! I.e. I can order the item, even though there was no prior release of the purchase requisition.
Unfortunately I cannot try myself right now, but this is not standard behaviour, or is it? Where is the sense in having a release strategy when the item can be ordered anyway, even without release?
Thanks in advance
Alicia

Hi Alicia,
Go to transaction OLME -> Purchase Requisition -> Release Procedure
-> Procedure with Classification -> Set Up Procedure with
Classification -> press button 'RELEASE INDICATOR', make
'double click' in your last release indicator and check if the flag
'REL.FOR ORDENING' is set or not.
Go to transaction OLME -> Environment Data -> Define Attributes of
System Messages, and see if you have defined the message
06 055 as warning or error?
Please check additionally if you have in EBAN (for the requisition) the fields FRGKZ, FRGZU, FRGST filled with entries.
Also deactivate your user exits and check the behaviour again (see note 365604).

Edit

Release Procedure of Purchase Requisition

We are trying to configure the release strategy of purchase requisition with classification system. Following field are included in the release strategy: document type, creation indicator, requisitioner, item category, purchasing organization and total value of item; but the strategy is not effecting due to the item category field. We have verified all the remaining fields and they are working properly.
Following are the characteristics detail of the item category.
1.Multiple values checked in the Basic Data tab
2.Following values set in the Value tab
         a. blank for standard
         b. K for consignment
         c. D for services
3.Following values set in the Additional data tab
         a.CEBAN in the table name
         b.EPSTP in the field name
However, we have also verified the following table and field values in Additional data tab
1.     CEBAN table with PSTYP field
2.     MEREQ3211GRID table with EPSTP field
3.     MEREQ3211GRID_DATA table with EPSTP field
4.     MEREQ3211GRID_DATA table with PSTYP field
But none of the above is working.
It will be highly appreciated if you provide help to configure the Release Strategy of Purchase Requistion with item category.
Thanks & Best Regards
M. Rehan Qureshi

Hi Muhammad
The item category applied in PR is external one (Field: EPSTP)
In IMG ("Define external representation of Item categories"), a corresponding internal item cat are defined (Field: PSTYP).
In the comm structure CEBAN, the available field is internal item cat. is PSTYP.
Hence u need to maintain the values of internal item cat for the characterisic.
By this, you will get the desired.

Release strategy for purchase requisition does not kick in

Hi Gurus!
I've been struggling with this issue for some weeks now.
I have set up the release strategy configuration for purchase requisitions with classifications.
However, if I create a purchase requisition the release functionality is not taken into account by the system.
See below some more information regarding my configuration:
1. I've created a new characteristic "REL_PR_GROUP". Status: released, Multiple values, Number of Chars 3, 7 values (TR1, TR2, TR3....TR7), Table name: CEBAN, Field name: EKGRP, Procedure for value assignment set to not ready for input.
2. I've created a new class: "REL_PR_ANPC". Class type 032, Status: released, Same classification: do not check, Char: "REL_PR_GROUP"
3. I have one release group "T1", Rel. object 1, OverReqRel is marked, Class: "REL_PR_ANPC"
4. I have 5 release codes. Grp: T1, Code: 01....05
5. I have 2 release indicators:
"R = Released", Rel. for ordering is marked, Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
"X = Blocked", Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
6. I have 1 release strategy:
"T1 with Grp T1"
- one release group, 01 Manager
- release prerequisites not applicable because of only one release group
- release status, nothing marked = blocked, 01 marked = released
- classification, purchasing group is TR1 or TR2 or TR3 or TR4 or TR5 or TR6 or TR7
I intentionally kept the configuration as simple as possible so I can try to get it working first.
Now if I create a purchase requisition for an item with release group T1, I would expect the release strategy to be activated. However, this is not the case. I don't see the "release status" tab in the PR, and if I try to relase via ME54 the system says the PR is not relevant for release.
Could you please assist in getting this working?

Hi,
Have you checked in CL30/CL30N if your release strategy is derived successfully?
See section 3 of Note 365604. A small section of it:
You can use transaction CL30 search for an object using the data
of the purchase requisition/purchase order. Here, it is important
that the object search determines exactly one strategy. If this
is not the case, this indicates that there are overlapping
strategies in the system or that the release strategies in
Customizing do not correspond with those from transaction CL24.
See the previous point. If the object search returns more than
one result, the system subsequently determines an incorrect
release strategy or no release strategy at all.
If it is derived successfully, next, check the user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 as per Note 371667:
The following assignment statement has to exist within activated SAP
enhancements M06B0002 (include zxm06u13) and M06B0005 (include zxm06u31)
for purchase requisitions:
E_CEBAN = I_CEBAN.

Workflow error in release Purchase requisition

Hi All,
I configured the settings for workflow in Purchase Requisition.(both purchsing & task specific )
Now, my workflow is started but its status is Error.
actually it is not able to find the recepient in role 20000026.As i already mark relevent release code as 1 & also assign US user id in the PR release settings & also put the User ID in task specific customization.
Still i am facing this error.One thing i want to mention is i am not aware of the settings required in the Edit Qrganizational Plan tab in SPRO.
If some more clarification is required ,i will prode the same..
Plz suggest some solution in this regard with T codes & bit detail.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep Sharma

Sandeep,
Okay here's some details which will help you out. I presume that you have done customizing for PR release strategy.
If not then follow this procedure:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/04/92761846f311d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Once you establish release strategy , event releasestepcreated will automatically created by system based on release codes.
so say for a standard pr type you have defined two release codes I1 and I2 (based on certain amount- you can see this in class characterisitic using tcode CL02) and class type -032 and class PR_RELEASE most probably, check Char. tab).
Once you define char. in CL02, you gotta run tcode CT04, give the name of char. and fill all tab.
inside tab Addl data, you have to define CEKKO table and field too
this is where we have referenced the event releasestepcreated implicitly.
FOR all customizing of release strategy check this link , this is really great blog
http://www.sap123.com/forumdisplay.php?s=cced678eca43fe7a7e3bb9b83dc94022&f=2
then search for "setting up simple release procedure" thread in it.
It is for PR.
So if I1 release take place event will triggered, say A has approved I1 level and for whole PO release I2 is also required then one more time event releasestepcreated event would be triggered.
You can create workflow for PO release. Approver are determined based on rule AC20000026 (check in PFAC) based on FM which has user exit EXIT_SAPLEBNF_001 where you can write down your own code for approver determination.
I think that you gotta put 9 (in release code settting in SPRO). If you are inserting 1 then you have to define US and user name (which I think you have done).
Hope it will clear your doubts
Cheers
Jai

Purchase Requisition Release Problem

Hi All,
I have a release procedure set up, and the strategy pulls up correctly when a PR is made. When I view collective release from ME55, the PR's show up, and I am able to release line items from that screen. However, when viewing the PR from ME53N, in the Release Procedure tab there is no green check next to the release code with which to release the line. Also, if I do release the PR from ME55, I cannot go to ME53N and cancel the release from the Release Procedure tab.
I am a user with all security access, so it is not an authorization role problem. The release group is also configured to release by line item, so that is not the problem. I have set up other release procedures which allow the release/cancel release function from ME53N before... what could be the problem this time?
Thanks,
J

hi.
There are two ways of releasing purchase requisitions:
Individual release (Tcode - ME54)
You release items of an individual purchase requisition or - if the requisition has to be released in total - by releasing one item you simultaneously release all the others.
Collective release (Tcode- ME55)
You release all requisition items or complete requisitions that are awaiting processing by your release code. This is the preferred method if you frequently have to effect release.
Display PR -with release status (Tcode-ME53N)
One can only see release status in ME53N & can not change release.
hope it helps to you.

Rahul

Purchase Requisition release

Hi,
Could anybody help me out with the configuration settings of purchase requisition Release.
Client want to set release status for Purchase Requisition , where two persons will be responsible to release the requisition . when the first person releases the requisition , it will come to the second or final person for release ,when he releases then the requisition is released for purchase orders.
Could anybody help me out with the configuration settings.
Thanks N Regards,
Siddhartha

Use this steps. below is for PO same do it with PR. that is in place of PO take it as PR.
Releasing Procedure for Purchase Documents
Use
This setting is incorporated to just give demonstration of how SAP Release procedure works. The aim of this procedure is to replace manual written authorization procedures using signatures by an electronic one, while maintaining the dual Ctrl principle. The person responsible processes the purchasing document in the system, thereby marking it with an "electronic signature" which can give the document legal force.
