RELEASE CODES IN SERVICE RELEASE STRATEGY

Dear All,
I have created a Service Group and assigned three release codes.But when I am trying to simulate the release in release strategy the release codes are not displayed.
Where have I gone wrong????.
Someone please help.
REgards

Did you maintain the combination of 'release group', 'release strategy' and 'release codes' under 'release strategies? You need to maintain this combination before simulating the release. Also, ensure after entering the said combination verifying 'relase preqreuisites, release statuses, assignment of class and then simulating the 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.

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.

Reuse Release Codes for PR Release.

Hi!
Business requirement has resulted in exhausting the Release Codes for Purchase Requisitions. What might possibly be the impact of using the same Release Codes in different Plants and restricting the users by Roles.
Example:
Release Strategy X: Plant IND1 / Value >0: Release Code ZZ
Release Strategy Y: Plant IND2 / Value >0: Release Code ZZ
Assume that the PR Releasers are different (say Mr. A & Mr. B for Plant IND1 and IND2 respectively):
Create 2 Role:
Role X: Authorization for Plant IND1 and Release Code ZZ
Role Y: Authorization for Plant IND2 and Release Code ZZ
Now if we assign Role X to Mr. A and Role Y to Mr. B, Mr. A will get only PRs from Plant IND1 and Mr. B will get only PRs from Plant IND2. Hence they can use the same Release Code ZZ. But the PRs will be from their respective Plants.
Can you foresee any issues with the above setup? I tested the same in sandbox and it is working fine.
Suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Riju

Dear Riju,
There has not a issue of Release Strategy, you can give the access rigth through role.
But check the muliples plant & Release code.

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.

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
Br
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

Release Code and Strategy

Hi,
We have created a new release code and its corresponding release strategy. But when we are trying to release the PO, the PO goes to a release code not maintained in the system. What could possibly be lacking in my config?
Scenario : I created release code T1 but the PO goes to release code F2 (which is not configured in the system). Please help.

Hi,
It happens some time , it is taking default values.
I will suggest you to delete all the release codes and release strategy maintained in the system.
After deleting pl Save it.
Now you create your release codes and maintain release strategy again.
Def now it will work.

Problem withn Release strategy having Multiple release codes

Hi
I am working on a Release Strategy which has 2 Release codes say 01 and 02.
The PR document can be released only when 01 and 02 both releases.
But suprisingly, the first code 01 is able to release the 02 code also.
How to remove this problem.
Kindly relpy ASAP !!
Cheers
MaruthiRam

Hi,
This can be controlled through authorisation.Ask your Basis team to assign the Release code and release group in authorisation object "M_EINK_FRG" .Here give only the release code applicable to the concerned user only and remove the other release code .
Also please check if you have mantained the release prerequisite in img.That is for release code 02 the release pre requisite must be 01.Check the required boxaccordingly.

MM - ML81N, Release Procedure for service entry sheet

Hi Gurus,
I would like to active the realease strategy for service.
in order to customize I set:
-Relase Groups
-Release Codes
-Release indicator
-Release startegues
Then I run ML81N TRX and I called a sheet to try. This sheet had to has done to one of the release strategy set...
on the menu (of this trx ML81N)Entry Sheet->Set Status->Release (is still turn off)
Where is the problem?, anybody could help me?
Tks in advance,
Nacho

Hi,
please read the FAQ note 672719, question 5:
Setting up a release procedure is explained in the following short
example: All service entry sheets with material group 007 are supposed
to be subject to a release strategy. This release strategy requires that
the service entry sheets must be released with release code A1. Only the
cost center manager has the authorization for release code A1.
A) Create a characteristic for the material group:
o Call Transaction CT04. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:
       Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master
       Data -> Characteristics)
o Specify a name for the characteristic, for example CESSR_MATKL,
       and choose the 'Create' pushbutton.
o On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter a description and keep the
       'Released' status.
o On the 'Addnl data' tab page, enter table name CESSR and field
       name MATKL (Material group).
o Enter class type 032 (Release strategy) on the 'Restrictions' tab
       page and then save the characteristic.
Note: The release strategy must be based on a field of structure CESSR.
Using Transaction SE11, you can display which other fields are available
in addition to the material group (field MATKL).
B) Create a class to which you assign the characteristic:
o Call Transaction CL02. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:
       Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master
       Data -> Classes)
o Enter a class name, for example FRG_ESSR, and class type 032 (for
       release strategy) and then choose the 'Create' pushbutton.
o On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter any name. (Keep the
       'Released' status.)
o Enter characteristic CESSR_MATKL on the 'Char.' tab page and then
       save the class.
C) Now carry out the required Customizing settings. Follow IMG path
(Transaction SPRO) 'Materials Management -> External Services Management
Seite 4
-> Define Release Procedures for Service Entry Sheet'
o At first, you must create a release group (for example 03). For
       that, choose 'Release Groups', then choose 'New Entries', enter
       'Rel. Group' = 03 and 'Class' = FRG_ESSR. Save the entry. The
       system automatically determines value 3 (for entry of services
       performed) for the release object.
o Now create release code A1 for release group 03. Choose 'New
       Entries' and specify the following values: Grp = 03, Code = A1,
       and description, for example cost center manager.
o Create two release indicators, for example A and B. Select the
       'Released' field for release indicator B and save the entries.
       (Note: A release strategy must at least contain two release
       indicators. The first indicator (here A) must be defined as
       locked, the last indicator as released. Furthermore, the general
       changeability of the service entry sheet and the behavior for
       value changes are defined via the release indicators.)
o Finally create the release strategy. Choose 'New Entries' and
       specify the following values: Release group = 03, release
       strategy, for example RS, release codes = A1. Assign the two
       release indicators A and B via 'Release statuses'. Assign
       material group 007 via 'Classification'. Save the release
       strategy.
D) Assign the authorization for release code A1 and release group 03 to
the cost center manager. In role maintenance (Transaction PFCG), you can
for example use the default values for Transaction ML85 for that.

Function Module to fetch Release Code for PReqs

Hi,
Is there any function module to get the current release code applicale by passing the requisition number?
Example : If we have 4 levels of approval, say A1,A2,A3 and A4, and I want to know with what release code shall I release the requisition.
If release has benn effected for the requisition with codes A1 and A2 and if I query with the function module what is the current release code applicable, then it should give A3 or atleast a result that A2 has been the last release code effected.
Also where is the release related info stored ? I mean which tables...
Not the release strategy related info but the release effected info.
Dont worry about points...

Hi
Pur requisition Release Codes are stored in T161E table
Release code is linked with Release strategy in T161F table
Link the code with Release strategy field in EBAN table
Also check the fun modules
MM_CHECK_RELEASE_CODE_EQUAL_KI
MM_CHECK_RELEASE_CODE_NOT_KI
ME_RELEASE_REQUISITION
BAPI_REQUISITION_RELEASE
Reward points if useful

Dear,
Please follow below mention path.
*and check any things is missing, If you can go in bellow mention hints you cans create easily purchase release streatgy.*
*- Follow below mention path.*
*SPRO -> Material Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Release Procedure for Purchase Orders.*
*Three steps involved in release process of purchase order.*
**Edit Characteristic     Create characteristic for release purchase order. If you want to release purchase order on purchasing group base. So you can create characteristic for purchasing group. Take reference of CEKKO structure and BKGRP field for purchasing group in additional data of characteristic. E.g :- Purchasing group - BKGRP**
**Edit Class     After creation of characteristic, create class for release purchase order. In which you can take reference of Class Type: - 032,Status: - Release,Class group: - Release strategy class,And put reference of your characteristic, which are created by you in first step.E.g: - Class - REL_PO**
*Define Release Procedure of purchase order     In this step four processes involved.o     Release Groupso     Release Codeso     Release indicatoro     Release Strategies*
Now see each steps of Define release procedure of purchase order in briefly: -
Release Group     In which you can define release strategy groupExa.: - Release group : - 01,Release object: - 01, Class: - REL_PO.
Release code     In which you can define release code. Enter value as Release group: - 01,release code: -01 - Purchase Head,Release group: -01, release code: - 02 - Auditor
Release indicator     In this step you have to define release indicator.Like X - Blocked, I - Under process, S - Release
*Release Strategy     *This is the final step for release strategy.Assign release code 01, 02.Click on release prerequisites, select 02 - check box and click on continue.Click on release status button, enter release indicator X, I, S and click continueClick on classification button, enter values of purchasing group for which you want to created release strategy
Than create purchase order for purchasing group, which you assign in classification of release strategy. Enter your values of purchase order and click on check button release strategy executed in your purchase order.

ME54 - Restrict by purchase org and release code

Hi All,
We have a requirement that wants to allow one user to have multiple plants and for one for each one a different release code. Well release codes are controlled by auth M_EINK_FRG and plant is controlled by M_BANF_WRK. Because plant and release code is not in the same auth if I give multiple plants it will allow the greatest release code for all plants using M_EINK_FRG. Has anyone every figured out how to restrict different plants to unique release codes within one user. Did you use some sort of custom auth or user exit?
Our ideal situation would be able to restrict by purchase org but unfortunately it appears that the tcode ME54 does not call the auth M_BANF_EKO so we cannot restrict by purchase orgs. Has anyone thought of a way to get around this.
Thanks,
Mary

I believe what you want to achieve may be done through the PO release strategy - since PO releases are based upon the release code and the strategy. A PO for a certain purchase org could be defined for a certain set of release codes.
