Release of PO at header level

why is that we release PR at "ITEM" leval and PO at "HEADER" level ???
is that because PO is been created with reference to a specific vendor so we do it in the header level
in PR we issue it for all the materials so it is done at item level
is tht the right explanation or do we have any ?? please help
regards
Pavan

Hi,
PR is an internal document. Suppose if you have 3 line items in a PR you will release 1 line item and PO can be created for the particular line item (PO with reference to PR).
Where in PO is an external document and has to be released at Header level.

Purchase Requisition Release at Header Level

Hi MM experts,
We are on ERP6. Can we activate purchase requisition release at header level (ie overall requisition dollar level - sum total of all requisition line items) just for one business (company code) without affecting rest of client which uses release strategy at requisition line item level?
Is it possible to share the same document type, e.g. NB that is used by other business?
Many thanks.
Thomas

With the release procedure with out classification , it is possible to release the PR at header level based on the value of the PR . In determination of release strategy , you can maintain the value , currency and release stratergy .
But to restrict this to a particular comany code , you may use the exit M06B0002 where in you can write the logic .

PR (Header level) release strategy not working

Hi all,
I have configured release procedure for PR - Header level release(i.e. With classification). My scenario is as below,
If PR value is <=1000 INR and Plant 1000 Two persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1 and A2.
If PR value is >1000 INR and Plant 1000 Three persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1,A2 and A3.
i have created Two charac(for Plant and Value), one class(Assigned the characs to it), one group, 3 release codes, and 2 Release stratergies (i.e.S1 and S2). All the settings are fine. But when I create PR, system takes only the first Release stratergy by default. That is irrespective of the valuation price in PR system by default takes S1 release stratergy only. Even for higher value PR system is not taking S2 stratergy. I have given correct values in the classification field. Why does this happen? Release procedure without classification is not configured.
Note: I have even ticked overall release for document type NB
Any inputs? Thanks in advance.

Ayyappan.

Hi all,
One thing is clear now. System is not all considering the value characteristics. Its only considering Plant character(WERKS). Thats why by default its taking first release stratergy since both have plant value as 1000 in classification view.
Just now i checked by using sinlge character. For release class with plant as character the release procedure is working fine but for class with value as character release is not at all getting hit.
Note:
1.My company code currency is EUR. My characteristic currency is USD. While i create PR in valuation price system by default selects EUR. I am manually changing it to USD. Is that correct?
2. Still my new posting period is not yet open.
Is there the problem is somethig related to above?

Is it advisable to release PR at header level

Hi SAP Experts,
Is it advisable to release PR at header level?
If yes, then what can be the drawback.
And can you advise me any setting with which cancellation of PR & PO can be avoidable.
Thanks & Regards,
Anisha Sinha

Hi,
If the material is Directs then it is not an issue to have the release strategy for PR at header level.. just being a regular material for the procurement...
But, in case of Indirects procurement... it is not advisable to have the relase strategy at header level... reason being you need to check the individual items and then only release them...
Coming to your second question, you can have release indiactor "5" with "1" in changeable field... this would not allow you to make any change PR/PO once it is relased. But, it is not really advisable to use this kind of strategy...

Why release strategies for PO at header level only

We have release strategy for Purchase Requisitions and Purchasing documents like PO, Contract and SA.
In case of PREQ we have a choose for either item level release or header level release, whereas in case of PO, Contract and SA only header level release is possible.
My question is why SAP has provided only the header level Release Strategy for PO, Contract and SA? I wan to know the reason and logic behind this.

Hi,
For PR's, there is no header level data. Becuause vendor number is optional since it is internal document from the user dep. to pur org. That's why, vendor number fields is at item level in the source of supply screen. But this is optional field.
That's why, you can release PR line items one by one or all at a time.
If you are releasing all line items at a time, need header level release.
If you release line item by line item, need item level release.
But in the case PO/Contract/SA, these are final reference documents and sending to the vendor as external documents.
That's vendor number is at header level field and line item in the PO are related to the single vendor.
That's why u cann't release line item by item, i.e., item level release.
You can relase all the items in the PO or u can reject entire PO, not a single line item.
That's why, only header level release is possible for the PO/Contract/SA.

Header Level Release Requisition

Hi,
The purchase requisition WS00000038 is for item wise release. But they need header level release. Is there any standard workflow ?? I dont find any, so i created custom workflow and everything is ok. But when i create the PR, the workitem goes to everyone. I've marked General Task. For standard wf, it works properly, but not for my workflow. It is not picking the agent from Release Strategy settings. Do we need to give the custom wf no anywhere to pick the correct agent ??

What you have done in Release Strategies, can you explain.?
What is the Path? Where you have mentioned Agents in RS for Requisition?

Migo is not showing the excise tab - header level and item level

Hi,
i have created one PO with excise and i have created MIGO with only capture excise invoice, in MIGO before saving the document system is showing the excise basic, cess and higher education cess in excise tab, header level as well as item level. After saving the document, if i go to dispaly view of the MIGO document system is not showing the header level as well as item level excise amount. The tab itself is not appearing. Can any one help me on this.

Hi,
There are two kinds of statuses, system status and user status.
You can only influence System status if you execute a business transaction that changes the system status.there
are four system statuses open, In process,Released and Completed.
User status can be created as additional information to the system status in any numbers.But for this you
need to define a status profile which would further be assigned to transaction type(header status) and
item categories(item status).
The header status is independent of the item status. One exception is the status Completed.
If all items have the status Completed, the header status is also set to Completed.
For defining a status profile you need to go to
SPRO>Customer Relationship Management>Transactions>Basic settings>Status Management.
Hope this helps.

How to close a PO at the header level

Is it possible to close a PO at the header level or a way to deactivate the PO so that no new items can be added? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

> Is it possible to close a PO at the header level
Po can be closed at Item level and not Header level. You can set Deletion Indicator and further can be archived thru SARA MM_EKKO
or a way to deactivate the PO so that no new items can be added?
You can activate Release strategy and Choose a Proper Release indicatory so that no new changes to be carried out.
Else go for User Exits

PR release date capturing for all levels

Hi,
I have activated PR release strategy at Header level. There are about 4 levels of release are there. In custom PR print program, I want to capture the details of all levels corresponding release dates. Can you help me how I can go about it.
Munna.

Hi
PR release date is not relevant to Release strategy.
Purchase Requisition Release Date
Specifies the date on which the purchase order should be initiated on the basis of the purchase requisition.
The release date is based on:
The purchasing department processing time defined for the plant
The planned delivery time from the material master record or purchasing info record
The delivery date
The goods receipt processing time from the material master record
Note
The planned delivery time from the purchasing info record and the GR processing time are only taken into account if the purchase requisition was generated via materials planning.
Example
    Processing time   Planned del.   GR processing
       Purchasing         time           time
Release       PO                    Delivery    Date
date         date                   date    required
Date required:                     10.01.96
GR processing time:                 2 days (working days)
Planned delivery time:             10 days (calendar days)
Purchasing dept processing time:    2 days (working days)
For the material to be available on the date it is needed, the purchase requisition must be released on 09.11.96 (requirement date less GR processing time, planned delivery time, and purchasing department processing time).
Hope it helps
Thanks/karthik

TO ADD TAB AT HEADER LEVEL IN ME21N

Hi guys
I have to add a tab at header level of ME21N using BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST and ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST
can someone guide me how to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
Try with SMOD enhancement MM06E005. I know this works well for adding a tab in PO header or item level . Read OSS 407975 for implementing this screen exit
here i am pasting OSS Notes and if you need clearly then login into service.sap.com
Symptom
You are using SAP customer enhancement MM06E005. There is no sample source code for this enhancement.
Other terms
User exit, customer enhancement, MM06E005, example, sample
Reason and Prerequisites
You want to activate user exit MM06E005. Note that this is a consulting note and not a correction of the user exit.
Solution
You can use the sample source code attached here to recognize the basic functions of the exit. This example is, however, only one of many options that are offered by the customer enhancement.
The sample source code includes the following functions:
Supply of an additional field on header level
Supply of an additional field on item level
Derivation of a field on item level from the copied reference document
Now, in order to be able to use the sample source code, you must create field ZZFLAG on the header level of the document and field ZZFIELD on the item level.
Double-click on Include table CI_EKKODB
Enter the following values:
Name    Component type DType Length DecPlace Short text
ZZFLAG CHAR1          CHAR 1      0        1-digit indicator
Save and activate the include table.
Double-click on Include table CI_EKPODB
Enter the following values:
Name    Component type DType Length DecPlace Short Text
ZZFIELD CHAR1          CHAR 1      0        1-digit indicator
Save and activate the include table.
In order to activate the sample source code, you additionally have to carry out the following changes on screens 0101 and 0111.
1. Screen 0101: Create the following fields:
              "Checkbox"            Name: EKKO_CI-ZZFLAG
2. Screen 0111: Create the following fields:
              "Input/output field" Name: EKPO_CI-ZZFIELD
              "Pushbutton"          Name: BUTTON
                                    FctCode: ZZDETERMINE
The following assignments apply to the sample source code:
EXIT_SAPMM06E_006 --> LXM06F36
EXIT_SAPMM06E_007 --> LXM06F38
EXIT_SAPMM06E_008 --> LXM06F37
EXIT_SAPMM06E_009 --> LXM06F39
EXIT_SAPMM06E_016 --> LXM06F41
EXIT_SAPMM06E_017 --> LXM06F42
EXIT_SAPMM06E_018 --> LXM06F40
Copy the source code from the attachment and insert it into the corresponding function modules. Save and activate the function modules.
Create the following variables in the corresponding TOP include in order not to get any syntax errors:
INCLUDE ZXM06TOP
data: gl_aktyp type c,
      gl_no_screen type c,
      gl_rekko like ekko,
      gl_ekko_ci like ekko_ci,
      gl_ekpo_ci like ekpo_ci,
      gl_ekpo like ekpo,
      gl_ucomm like sy-ucomm.
types: begin of ekpo_tab,
          ebeln like ekpo-ebeln,
          ebelp like ekpo-ebelp,
          ekpo like ekpo,
       end of ekpo_tab.
data: gt_ref_ekpo_tab type table of ekpo_tab.
Save and activate the TOP include.
On header level, you can now store a character, X or space, via field ZZFLAG on the database with the document and read it also again.
On item level, you can fill field ZZFIELD with a one-digit value and save it with the document. If you copy this document, the system displays an additional function button on tab page "Customer data". If you press this button, the value of the reference document is copied to field ZZFIELD.
If you want to store the source code as sample source code in your system, start Transaction SMOD. Enter MM06E005 as an enhancement. Select "Components". Press "Change". Position the cursor on the corresponding module and choose "Sample code". Create the corresponding include and copy the source code from the note. Save the include. Note that, of course, syntax errors may occur when you check components. This is because the includes of the sample code are not integrated into a program but rather are completely independent and, therefore, do not have any relationship to each other either. For this reason, only save the include and do not activate or check it. The sample code has to be copied into the corresponding function modules in order to become active.
If you use the user exit in the new purchase order, it is not guaranteed that the customer screen is always processed. To make sure that possible required fields are checked, include a corresponding message into the EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. This screen is always processed.
Header Data
Release Status: Released for Customer
Released on: 07.09.2006 13:07:34
Priority: Recommendations/additional info
Category: Consulting
Primary Component: MM-PUR-PO Purchase Orders
Secondary Components: MM-PUR-GF-CE Customer Enhancements
I have not done BADI for PO,so i am not sure that whether BADI will work for Screen exit or not
Thanks

Can we perform Progress Order option from Order Header level?

Hi,
Can any one let me know about the basic functionality of Progress Order and on which scenario we can apply this option and also please clarify me the below doubt.
Our Functionality as follows:
1. Once the Order is booked then Credit Hold is applied against to the Order at the Order Header Level
2. We are releasing the Hold from Actions tab
3. Now we are placing the cursor at each Line Level and Progressing the Order using the Progress Order Option to fulfill and close the Sales Order lines.
Now what my doubt is Credit Hold is applied at Order level but we are performing the Progress Order option from Level. When I try to user the same option from Order Header level system is showing the following error message “APP-ONT-251015: There are no eligible activities to be completed. There is at least one deferred or externally notifiedactivity in this workflow. Please see the workflow monitor or status window for more information” because of this I am using progress order option for each line.
I want Progress Order option to applicable for entire Order so that I can fulfill and close all Lines at one time.
What is the best way to Progress Order for entire Order instead of selecting each line to Progress the Order.
Please share your views.
Regards,
Kevin.

Hi Kevin,
I am not quite sure if I understood your issue correctly but if you are using R12, there is a check box available called "Progress Workflow" on Holds definition, which will progress the entire order.
With Regards,
Vishal Majithia

PO number prints only if it is at header level not for item level

Hi All,
I am not able to print the PO number in my order acknowledgement and COA printout when I enter the PO number in the sales order at item level of only. It prints fine when it is at the header level.
Please assist.
Thank you,
Shanu Jain

Hi,
BSTKD Field in the VBKD is dependent on two things . IF the Header PO Number is same as the Item number if u change at Header level it will be changed at all items level also. If both are diff then if u change the PO Number at Header level it will change PO numbers of the Items which is having same value as Header Po Number otherwise it wont change the Item PO Number .
Ex " Order Number 1000 is having PO Number at Header Level is PO1. And the sales order is having Item 010 and 020.
IF Item 010 and 020 is having PO1 at item level if u change the value of PO1 at header Level if will be applicable to items 010 and 020.
If Item 010 is having Po Number PO1 and 020 is having PO2, if i change value of PO number at header to PO3 then it will change Item 010 PO Number to PO3 and Item 020 PO Number will be same as PO2.
Try to Take The VBKD - BSTKD where Item Number POSNR is blank that means Header PO Number .
IF u want Item Po Number then pass the item number in POSNR and get it.

Srinivas.
