Release of purchase order Workflow

Dear all,
I have Configured the standard PO release workflow and it is working fine for first level approval.
My requirement is for three level approval,I have maintained three release code in SPRO.I want to know other setting for Workflow in SPRO for 3 level approval.
Thanks and Regards
Kumar

Hello Raj,
the standard behaviour is, that all three release codes are "open" at the same time and that you get the events for all three of them at once up creation.
To create a certain hierarchy for the release code, you have to maintain the "Prerequesites" for each release code. This means:
Set 01 prerequesite to 02
and set 01 and 02 as prerequesite to 03.
You find the right button at the customizing (spro) maintenance step for the "Release strategy", and there's a button "Prerequesites".
The SAP online help documentation gives you hints on howto maintain them correctly, as the upcoming dialog looks a bit confusing.
To give you a quick start: Mark all checkboxes of the left side of the dividing line that runs from top-left to bottom-right. ... Yes, and have a look at the Forums here using the search term "Prerequesites".
With the very best wishes,
   Florin

  • Release strategy purchase order workflow

    hi,
      after release strategy defined ,
      i configured role on relesae codes in img.
      1.  If  I (functional people  and me) define release strategy, I have assigned the roles,  then  if purchase is created , the work item goes to  particular agent inbox  or not ?.
    Because there is any further configuration is there after release strategy is defined,
    Now, I configure workflow only for to send mails to particular release code persons.
    I want this clarification.
    2. For rejecting POs is there any EVENT.
    I found RESET event for rejecting POs, is it correct.
    please reply ASAP.
    thanks & regards

    Hey,
    You need to use business object BUS2012. Do a where used list from transaction SWO1 and you will find the standard workflows delivered by SAP. You can either use these or create a new workflow.
    Event ReleaseStepCreated can be used as an triggering event to send emails when a PO is created. If you want to trigger an email only for specific release codes you need to evaluate the release code in your workflow.
    Event Rejection_start for evaluating Rejections.

  • Error in Purchase Order Workflow

    Hi,
    I am facing an problem in Purchase Order Workflow. We are working on ECC6.0 Version. I activated the PO workflow WS20000075 (BUS2012) for the PO release strategy. I assigned an user for the task "Release Purchase Order effected" that is step 000107 and after that I deassigned that user from that step.
    Now I am facing a problem, that the workflow is getting deactivated and unable to go further because it is getting an error in resolving the agent at that release effected step even after I deassigned the user. Every time I need to go to type event linkages to activate type event for the workflow.
    The error it is raising is SWF_RUN 544.
    So can anyone suggest me some solution for this and highly appreciated for the quick response.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ramesh S

    Hi Krishna,
    Thanks for the reply. But here I donot want the agent to be assigned to that step. I already deassigned the agent from there but still it is giving me the error saying that unable to resolve the agent.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Purchase order workflow generating mails to invalid peron for one plant

    Hi,
    I have a situation, where the user is receiving workitem mails to approve to outlook, even though he is not an approver. This is the case with only one plant. One more point is even in non-PO workflow, he is receiving the woritem mail execution mails, and plant is same as in PO workflow. Can anyone explain, where I can find the plant and this user relation and how it is happening.

    Check wrong user ID assigned release code in basis side in authorization(SU01 & PFCG) and also check  wrong user ID assigned release code to following path:
    SPRO ---> MM -> Purchasing- > Purchase Order- > Release Procedure for Purchase Orders- > Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders--- > Workflow ---> Here against each release code assign OT as US and respective User ID's for Release

  • Create custom data when releasing a Purchase Order

    Hello people,
    The customer uses ME28 to release the Purchase Order.
    They have, for instance, two release estrategies: W1/01 and W2/02, that differ about the price.
    The scenario is:
    When the customer releases a Purchase order from W2/02 strategy using ME28 transaction, we need to do some verifications in Z tables and create a record in another Z table. If for some reason the purchase order will not be released, this Z data does not have be saved.
    And if some error occurs and the data don´t be saved, the estrategy must remain blocked (not released).
    In which EXIT is the best point to do this?
    Thanks a lot!

    hey
    try these 2 user exits
    MM06E005 - ZXM06U43 which is called from exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. This code is hit at the time you check or save.
    M06E0004 - Changes to communication structure for release purch. doc - EXIT_SAPLEBND_002

  • Purchase Order Workflow - getting de-activated

    Hi All,
    We have a Purchase Order workflow that has been working well for quiet some time now. Over this weekend, we installed Enhancement Packs 1 to 3 and in the midst of testing in QA, I have noticed that, each time a PO workflow gets triggered, it de-activates the workflow causing other instances of the workflow to not be triggered.
    Each time, I have to go and re-activate the workflow.
    Has anyone faced such an issue and if so, what did you do to prevent them occuring.
    Thank you,
    Satish

    I think the person who is creating the PO do not have the Proper authorization hence this deactivating. This deactivating thing can be avoided by going to SWE2 and changing the Error on Feedback field to Do not change Linkage. I hope this will solve your issue. You can also try to find the event that have not triggered from Event Queue SWEQADM
    Thanks

    hi,
    Few points:
    1. Po can be released only at header level..
    2. For configuartion, go to SPRO >> IMG >> MM >> Purchasing >> PO >> define release strategy for PO >>
    here you shd set up your new release strategy ...for that you need to edit characteristics, class...
    first maintain your characteristics ie. from "EDIT characteristics" ...here create your own characteristics and enter the suitable data here...enter class type '032' for the same...
    reference the fields from CEKKO structure...and add your require release relevent fields...
    then go to EDIT CLASS...here define your new class and maintain same class type as 032...
    3. After this maintain release strategy...click on release group option..go inside...link your req. release group to class...so that the classified characteristics will seems while releasing the document...
    4. Maintain release codes...
    5. maintain release indicator...
    6. then maintain inside Release strategy tab...
    here define you already maintain group and codes...maximum 7 rel. codes are possible...
    then maintain preriquisite...
    In side classification, maintain the fields based on which you wanna release the PO...
    and maintain the other req. things on diff. tabs...
    7. after doing this check your rel. strategy at OMGSCK tcode ie. given in tree path at same place inside SPRO path define above..
    Try making a PO and check whether its working or not...
    regards

  • Eror when release the purchase order

    hello,
    any body pls explain me. my client requires when they going to release the purchase order it should check the chapter id. if it is not maintained it should allow to release. is it possible. it yes please explain me.
    thaks
    bhakta

    The message you are looking for is actually available only for me21 &
    not for ME21N due to technical constraints.
    However you can make use of the following logic & customise the message
    to appear during PO creation through me21n.
    This is how the system works as of now. In ME21 this can be captured
    as an error message and the sytem displays it so. In ME21N the
    output of message is on the 'last in first out' process. In this case if
    there are any standard messages then the particular CIN message would
    not be shown. In case there are no other messages then this message
    is shown out. Customers can capture this mesage on a priority basis
    by making some adjustments at the time of display of this message
    in function module J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE.
    You can write your own code to display the 'chapter id missing' error.
    In 'FV64A352' include program, we are calling the function module
    'J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE'.In this module we are getting the
    'chapter id missing' exception when chapter id is not maintained for
    a material.So in 'FV64A352' just after this function module call, you
    can catch this exception(chapter_id_missing     = 1) and display your
    own error message there.
    This will be a customer modification from SAP standard, so please think twice before going ahead

    Hello Venu,
      Thanks for the response. I am doing what you said, I have exposed the BAPI as a web service, activate it (sicf), configurating the endpoint (soamanager), publish to the service registry (wspublish). But I have 2 problems,
       1. When I try to test it from the service registry it shows me this error: "Invalid transport binding settingsHTTP Client, does not have endpoint url specified", and I saw and the enpoints are configured.
       2. When I consume the web service through Web Dynpro, after I deploy and run, the applications show me this error, "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.gci.WSTypedModel"wsexample1.wsexample1_model.Wsexample1_model.<init>(Wsexample1_model.java:124)".

  • Workflow for releasing blocked purchase orders

    Hi,
    We want to implement a workflow for financial approval of purchase orders. At the moment a purchase order exceeds a certain value, the order will be blocked and approval is needed from the responsible cost center manager. As we are completely new to workflow, is there some one that can help me with my questions below?
    1. Is there a standard workflow in SAP (ECC6.0) that supports the above process?
    2. What are the trigger points for this workflow (creation and change of PO?)
    3. What are the required steps to set up this workflow.
    Regards,
    Ed

    hi,
    You can set up your workflow while you setup your release strategy..Before you do this you have to use authorisation in order to assign the role to a special person, in your case cost centre manager and follow on with your release strategy...
    Creation n changibity will depend on the changability indicator defined under release indicator set up...
    where you can choose as per your req. for eg 4, 5 or 6 etc...
    you also take help of BI consultant if req....
    Also you can find may threads reg. Workflow into SDN...

  • Release for purchase order for workflow

    explain me about the release procedure for purchase order i am comfortable with all steps but for the last step were we will be defining the settings  for workflow

    It's all fine and dandy that you want to be polite and reply to every reply with a "thanks for your reply", but it isn't very informative. In fact, I'm leaning towards calling it SPAM, but that is perhaps going a bit too far. Such replies do not add one bit of information, they just mark the thread as having contents added since I last visited, and wastes my time as I look at the thread to see what new information has come up.
    At the risk of sounding rude, could you please quit your habit and <u>instead</u> mark the question as answered if any of the answers solved your problem (handing out forum points where appropriate)? If none of the replies solved your problem, then please tell us how far they got you and what's stopping you now.
    Thank you.
