Release of Contracts

Hi Gurus,
After creating Contract, we convert it to a "Release Order". How we do it? Do we use the standard create PO transaction using ME21n? How are the materials or services in contract are "Called off" ?
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi
Release order for Contract is creation of Purcahse order.
You can directly copy all the items from the contrcat using the Refernce filed in the Item level.
Materials will be copied directly.
Service lines need to Copied again from the Contrcat using the service selection ICon.
You can use also the Drag & drop option by first listing the Contract in the Document Overview & draging it & dropping it in the Basket beside the Document type in Purcahse order screen.
Thanks & Regards
Kishore

Release Value Contract Report

Hi,
As we can get individual customer released value contract amount through T Code VA43 and report Via T code Z_XX_SD_059 for mass customers which is usually not giving the correct amount of released from value contract. The report which is extracted via T code Z_XX_SD_059 normally not reconciled with the end result of T Code VA43.So, Is there any other T code for getting correct release value contract report for multiple customers? Please share if anyone knows.
Regards| Adnan Mahmood

Hi,
tcode Z is an in house development. Check with an abaper why there are differences with respect to VA43.

How to users from releasing a contract that they have created

Hi,
can someone tell me how tp stop users from releasing a contract that they have created and or changed. It should be released by a different user.
I've been doing some investigation, and it looks as if function module EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 (SAP Enhancement M06E0004) might be the User-Exit that I may need. Does anyone know if this is correct?
John

Hi,
You posted your query to wrong forum, should be posted to MM forum.
Anyway probably your users have the authority of transaction code ME35K (Release) and authority object M_EINK_FRG (Release Code and Group (Purchasing)) to be able release contract that they created.

Release the Contract - VA42

Hi all,
I am getting few migrated contracted into ECC. These are initially the User status is in 'LOCK' at header and item level. For this contract a WBS element is linked. The initial WBS status is "CRTD".
I have created a report program to change the user status from "LOCK" to "ACT" both at header and item using FM: "I_CHANGE_STATUS". When header and item are in ACT status, I am releasing the WBS using FM: "BAPI_BUS2054_SET_STATUS". It was able to release the contract successfully. I have used call transaction to "SAVE" the contract.
But in the WBS element, the basic dates and Personnel Responsibility are not getting populated even though it is having the valid data at item level.
I did the same steps manually in VA42. The basic dates and Personnel Responsibility are getting populated from item data.
did I miss something in my report program? is there a BAPI to save the contract (VA42)?
Let me know if I need to give more explanation to understand the issue.
Regards,
Shiva.

I have fixed this issue.

Release Purchase Contract Programmatically

Hi Forum,
Is it possible to release a Purchase contract programmatically like the purchase order and the purchase requisition?
BAPI_PO_RELEASE does the job for Purchase Orders
BAPI_REQUISITION_RELEASE_GEN does it for Purchase Requisition
What does it for contracts?
Even a normal funcion module that is not RFC enabled is also okay. Any leads will be helpful.
Cheers,
Praveen

try to read your data with FM 'bapi_contract_getdetail'
maybe you can "dig" in the source code where your conditions are stored

Cancel release of Contract

Dear Experts,
I am using std workflow WS20000079 forcontract release. I have a scenario where user can cancel contract release. From SWEL i found that SIGNIFICATLY CHANGED, RELEASE STEP CREATED events are triggered when cancellation of release occurs. In outcome Contract changed significantly of step 00047 (in WS20000079) i have included a activity step. There i have included a custom method in task step. When i cancel release i see that status of workflow is In process and does not become completed. Can you please tell me why the status is In Process.
KR,
S Bharath

Hi,
In these kind of scenarios please use fork and wait event.
In your fork one branch should have the normal flow and in another branch,
please use wait for an event for cancel and once it occurs , do complete the workflow.
Thanks and Regards,
Swaminathan

If 2nd Gen IPhone released during contract...

I'm considering buying an Iphone when it's finally released here i the UK

Can't answer for O2 but since it seems the iPhone will be sold in the UK just as it is sold in the U.S. - carrier locked with O2 but not subsidized by O2, if the 2nd generation iPhone is released during the original contract term you can purchase it if you so choose without any penalty or requiring a new contract from the purchase date.

Contract Release Value is not updated with Confirmation or Invoice value

The release value for a contract in SRM EBP shows the value of purchase orders created using that contract. It does not take into account confirmation and/or invoice values.
For example I create a PO for 10 items at £100/each using Contract ABC. The total value of the PO is £1000 and the release value contract ABC would be £1000. If I then only confirm and invoice 5 items (£500) for the PO, the release value of contract ABC stays at £1000 even though I would expect it to update to £500
Therefore the release value of the contract could be incorrectly overstated if purchase orders are created against the contract but not actually invoiced/confirmed for their total value.
Please could you confirm the correct functionality and how I could find out the the true invoice value of purchases made using a contract?

Open Order quantity in Release order of Contracts

Hi all,
We are developing new PO format for Release Order ( Contract) where in we want to print the Open order quantity & Open order value along with Contract number.
What is the best logic for Open order quantity, where in it has consider all the previous release order quantities minus the target quantity in contract.
Open order quantity = target quantity in contract - all previously release order quantities.
Thanks in advance.

hai sajid,
As u said,
open order quantity = total quantity in contract - total quantity released against that contract ( Through release orders )
it is right,

Error in Releasing Contracts in SRM-Error Log for user WF-BATCH

Hi,
When we are releasing contracts in SRM, an error log is being generated for a user WF-BATCH with message :
"Recipient not found
The error ocurred by processing event RELEASED_NEWLY with GUID 4530EA86C23B007700000000B0000023 and object_id= 4400000238"(Where 4400000238 is our contract no)
Also our contract is not being transported to CCM even though all the relevant configurations have been done in XI.
Is this because of the error log?? What is the issue??
Any Useful answers would be suitably rewarded..
Regards,
Puneet

Hello Puneet,
Please check whether u have released that contract or not.
if u need to release purchase order from the contract, it needs to be released first.
from ur problme statement, it seems u haven't released that contract.

How to configure release procedure for rate contracts release

Dear all,
How to configure release procedure for rate contract following are the requirements
they are two release codes c1 & c2 <=100000,>=100000
 if c1 is not there c2 has to be approved
 Change in the value of the rate contract contract
 Change in the validity of the rate contract
 Addition of deletion of line items
While using a non u2013 released rate contract in the PO an error message should shoot out.
Also the logic should be changed while using the rate contract in the PO.
The usage of the rate contract should be till the validity of the rate contract. i.e. the measurement should be end date of the rate contract and the PO creation date and not the delivery date of the PO. &
It should be possible to refer existing valid rate contracts in purchase orders.

bhaskar

Hi,
In SAP rate contract is known as value contract denoted with wk. The release procedure for rate contract is same as that of other contracts and scheduling agreements. The tables for contracts will vary with SA (Scheduling agreement) .You may try and maintain condition records based on the customer combination and maintian the validity date of condition records as per your requirement.For contract and PO will have the same header/item table as EKKO/EKPO, and the release
class in standard is the same FRG_EKKO, you can use the same for contract.
To distinguish if it's a contract or PO, EKKO-BSART can be used.
For contract EKKO-BSART will be MK or WK, while PO will have NB/UB etc..
You can restrict the document type to set up the release strategy for only contract.
Of cause, you can also create your own release class Z* for contract copying standard
one FRG_EKKO via CL01/Class type 032, and then assign the class Z* to customizing:
OLME:
-> contract
->Release Procedure for Contracts
->Define Release Procedure for Contracts
->Release Groups
If you have already created the PO release class.
Assign a new chracteristic of Document Category -BSTYP
Please check below link for detailed release procedure. I hope this wil help you out .Thanking you.
