Release for Sales order

hi all
i have a doubt regarding the sales order. when PO is created there will be a release strategy for that. Like same is there any release strategy for sales orders. if it is there is it a mandatory process for every sales order or exactly can anyone let me know in which cases the release process for sales order is used.
regards
rag

Dear Tarun,
You can set the rlease strategy for the sales order through maintaining the Status profile settings.
It is not mandatory process ,you can have this based on the business requirement.
This releasing process can be used when the client wants the specific user need to check the sales order before creation of the delivery and then release that to the delivery.
For more details about Status Profile process you can go through this SAP help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/dd/560629545a11d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
I hope this will help you,

    hi gurus
    what is release strategy for sales order
    can any one throw some light

    Dear Rama,
    There is nothing like release strategy for sales order. There is a release strategy for purchase order. A bit of search on sdn forum in MM section will help you a lot on this area.
    For your reference, The release code is a two-character ID allowing a person to release (clear, or approve) a requisition or an external purchasing document. The release codes is basically controlled via a system of authorizations (authorization object M_EINK_FRG).
    Use SE12, structure CEKKO to check all the fields available for controlling the Purchase Order.
    e.g. If the total value for the Purchase Order exceeds 10,000, release strategy 01 is assigned to the Purchase Order.  There is only one characteristic created in this example.  For controlling the Purchase Order type, create characteristic for CEKKO-BSTYP and the value NB.
    CT04 - Create Characteristic   e.g.  NETVALUE
    Click Additional data Table name CEKKO      Field name  GNETW    and press enter
    (for currency dependent field, you are prompt to enter the currency which the system then converts the currency of the Purchasing document into this currency)
    In the Basic data (X refers to tick),
    X    Mutliple values
    X    Interval values
    In the Value data, in the Char. value column, type >10000 and press enter
    Save your data
    CL02 - Class
    Class - Create REL_PUR
    Class type - 032
    Click Create
    Description - Release Procedure for Purchase Order
    In the Same Classification section, click Check with error
    In the Char. (characteristic) tab, type NETVALUE to assign your characteristics to the class
    OMGS - Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order Type
    Release Group - New entries
    Rel.group   Rel. Object   Class                 Description
      02                                 REL_PUR        Rel. Strategy for PO
    Release codes - New entries
    Grp         Code
    02           01
    Release indicators
    Release indicators           Release        Description
          0                                                        Blocked
          1                                     X                Release
    Release Strategy
    Release group   02
    Rel.strategy    01
    Release codes   01
    Release status   0
                            1
    Classification   Choose your check values
    OMGSCK - Check Release Strategies
    (make sure there are no error messages)
    Once the Purchase Order is not release, buyers will not be able to print the Purchase Order.
    Goods Receipts will be shown with Message no. ME 390 - Purchasing document XXXXXXX not yet released.
    In 4.6c, Purchase Order with Release Strategy have a tabs at the end of the Header.  This allowed the buyers to check the release status of the Purchase Order.
    The person with the release authorization have to use ME28 to release the Purchase Order.
    Hope this helps you.
    Do award points if you found them useful.

  • Workflow for Sales Order Release via Status Profile

    Dear all,
    i want to make a workflow for sales order which have 4 User Status in One status profile.
    Once Event triggered for sales order
    1.   Mail should go to main authority with sales order number.
    2.  Once authority will do some changes in the required field then he/she changes
         the user status-1 from defauts as per line Item and mail should go to department no-1 (Head authority).
    3.  Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-2 from user status-1
         as per line Item and mail should go to department no-2 (Head authority).
    4.  Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-3 from user status-2
         as per line Item and mail should go to department no-3 (Head authority).
    5.  Once again same changes in sales order but now user status-4 from user status-3
         as per line Item and mail should go to department no-4 (Head authority) .
    and parrally for each changes of Status mail should also go to User (Event Creator).
    6. Finally mail sholud go to User as you are permitted to do next business transaction for this sales order
    Please tel me the process as i am very new this topic and i am always going to stuck in Binding.
    please help me out.
    Thank You

    Hi Neeraj,
    First of all start with SWELS and SWEL T-Code to check if any standard event is getting triggered or not. If event is getting triggered, then use the same event to trigger the workflow; otherwise create a custom event of BO and use the same to trigger the workflow.
    Hope you are aware of T-Code SWO1 and delegation of BO. The BO used for your requirement will be BUS2000115.
    As you want the workflow to get triggered only for one status profile and one of its status, so use check function module. There set the condition for you status profile and status.
    The FM which you will be using the most is CRM_ORDER_READ. To read the status, you can also use CRM_STATUS_READ_OW.
    Now simply make the approval steps in the workflow using activity. In the activity, you can use the standard method USERSTATUSPOPUP to send the workitem for approval. In each step use the same activity with different agents as approvers.
    Just go with these things and let me know if you get stuck up somewhere.

  • Error reading material cost estimate for sales order (KE292)

    Dear All,
    I have an issue with billing. we are posting july month transactions, the material cost is maintained through MR21. When releasing billing document for accounting we are getting error message like"Error reading the material cost estimate for sales order "11"
    Message no. KE292
    Diagnosis
    In Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), the system tried to valuate item 000010 of sales order 11 by reading the corresponding product cost estimate.
    However, no product cost estimate could be found for this sales order item.
    The system accessed product costing for product AMLFP011011XX00P using costing key YB3 as defined in the
    CO-PA Customizing settings.
    System Response
    The system cannot process the document any further.
    Procedure
    Check your Customizing settings."
    We cross checked with other client as a current date and we ran cost estimate through CK40N with same material. and we posted entries. Here it is working fine. but in above process it is not working. Can you pls guide me where i missed.
    Regards,
    Nagaraju,

    Hi,
    When the Costing Key is assigned to the material types in the COPA customizing, then system expects Cost estimation when billing is released to Accounts.
    If you dont run cost estimation but update the material master through MR21, system will not accept as in the Costing key configuration you must have selected the Current Standard price field for the valuation.
    Hence, try to run cost estimation and then do releasing.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan

    Hi,
    The business scenario is as follows.
    The delivery for the sales orders are to be created only after the pre payment( a percentage of the total sales order value) is made by the customer.
    Hence the sales orders while creation are blocked for delivery creation using credit block by means of a userexit.
    The credit manager checks the blocked sales orders using VKM1 transaction and verify if there are any payments made by the customer to cover this pre payment to be made.
    If it is enough to cover then he releases the sales order manually for delivery creation.This is a complex process since there are too many sales orders and the payments made by the customer may not match the amount to be paid(it can be greater or lesser).The customer just pays a huge amount which is to be distributed among the sales orders for pre payments.
    Later, when the invoice is created, the customer account is cleared manually using F-32 transaction for the oldest open invoices.
    Here again there is a huge manual effort involved since he need to distribute the amount against the invoices using oldest open item principle.
    As a solution we are planning to implement "Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan".
    Is this the right solution?
    Can you please give the steps in detail to implement this functionality for above scenario?
    We are using SAP 4.7 version without Project Systems.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Finding batch job name for sales order change (billing block)

    hi,
    there is a tab known as billing block in the sales order.
    now a batch job ran which removed this billing block and released the sales order for delivery and PGI activities.
    we have the information regarding the date and time on which this batch job ran but the job name is unknown.
    also we tried in SM37 which gives no details.
    we have information regarding the user name of the batch job but name is unknown.
    help us in finding the batch job name with the above mentioned available data.
    it is a very high priority.
    thanks in advance
    Rahman

    Hi ,
    in SM37-->
         a)Set the Job start condition ( dates ) --You have information --YOu can keep them blank if you don't have the information. But it will fetch all the batch jobs of the user.
         b) user Name  -You have information
         c_ use '*'  in place of Job name
    Then this will fetch you the Batch Job name . Then Check step --> you can find the program name.
    You can check the Log for job details like when started and when completed.

  • Costins for Sales order & Production Order

    I require an urgent clarification on the following:
    We are in Producing to Sales Order scenario.  We are using separate costing variants for Sales Order and Production Order
    Sales order is costed first. 
    the valuation variant in the costing variant for Sales order treats material valuation in the following order:
    1. Plan price for the period
    2. Price indicator from the material master
    2. Future standard price
    Then the Production order is released.
    In the Production order, the valuation variant says the material valuation as :
    1. Preliminary cost estimate from sales order
    2. Price indicator from the material master.
    My doubt is since the production order costing variant says the first option for material valuation is 'preliminary cost estimate from sales order', which value of the raw materials will be picked in the Production Order cost analysis ?  Is it from the Sales order costimate as prer preliminary cost estimate or is it as per the price indicator from the material master ?
