Release orders for contracts

Dear Gurus,
When we create release orders with reference a quantity contract, PO quantity can be more than the contract quantity. How to limit the quantity of the PO to less than the quantity in the contract?
Thanks,
Chameendri

Dear Chammendri,
Now the message number is 042 and application area is 06.
Go to SPRO -> materials management -> Purchasing -> Environment data -> Define attributes of system messages à system messages.
On going to the system messages we get this screen
For this particular message type we find u2018Wu2019 which means a warning message is issues by the system.
To change this message type to Error message type, we change the u2018Wu2019 to u2018Eu2019.

Purchase Order not subject to release strategy for contract rel. strategy

Hello, I am trying to set release strategy for contracts (TCODE: ME31K). I have created characteristic, which use table CEKKO and field name BSTYP in Addnl data tab. I have checked values, and they are correct. Then I have assigned in release strategies in classification view value contract. But when I try to check release strategy in ME31K with green flag, it display error: Purchase Order not subject to release strategy. (I have tried to do the same strategy in purchase order, of course with value Purchase order, and it works nice).
So I have checked this release strategy with this codes:
CL24N ok,
CT04 ok,
CL30N ok,
CL20N ok,
Release simulation in release strategy works,
Then I found out that I should check SE38, SE37 but I do not understand how to use them (according: Purchasing Document Not Subject to Release Strategy).
Thank you for your help in advance.

I haven't said to use EKPO table in characteristics. You have to use CEKKO - BSTYP in characteristics.
I've just said the compare the value which you have given in Release strategy - Classification and EKPO table for the particular contract.
Also compare your release strategy settings with many existing documents in SCN.
Check your Classification should be like that.
You may see the error message in ME31K. Just save the contract then go to ME32K/ME33K or ME35K you can see the release strategy will effect for the contract.

Release Strategy for contracts.

Hi gurus,
Good day,.
Please help on this.
We have a release strat for Contract. It is working fine when a contract is created, but when several changes were made on the Quantity, release srtat are not being triggered.
Example.
Contact created with qty 1000 --> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
After releasing, quantity was updated to 1200--> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
After releasing, quantity was updated to 1100--> release strategy was not triggered. Status was released.
what is the standard functionality for this? Should the decrease in quantity will trigger release strategy or not?
Thank you.

Dear Acel,
The example you given was working just fine and correct.
a)Contact created with qty 1000 --> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
b)After releasing, quantity was updated to 1200--> release status is blocked. Then release it in ME35.
c)After releasing, quantity was updated to 1100--> release strategy was not triggered. Status was released.
-> The release strategy will only be reset if the total net value for the contract was higher the previous
value but not lower.
As your example, quantity was updated to 1200, then it will reset when changing from 1000
to 1200. However when it was decrease to 1100, then it will not reset anymore as you had
release it for a quantity of 1200, then the total net value should higher than the current qty = 1100.
In system, it always assume if you had approved for the total value of the higher 1 before, then
it should be fine for the lower total net value for your management and therefore not need to re-approve
again for redundancy job. This was very logic in common business scenario in many companies.
However, like in your example , if you had define a different release strategy for a value that met the
the 1100 quantity, it will redermine the different release strategy. For example:
USD 1 for every quantity = 1
Then your contract will be USD 1000 for quantity = 1000, USD 1100 for quantity = 1100 and
USD 1200 for quantity = 1200.
Release strategy A for 1000 , characteristics from USD 1000- lower than 1100
Release strategy B for 1100 , characteristics from USD 1100- lower than 1200
Release strategy C for 1200 , characteristics from USD 1200 onwards
Then if you change the quantity from 1200 to 1100, it will redetermine the release
strategy B which means from Release strategy C to Release strategy B. If you
only had Release strategy C that had a characteristics from 1000-1200, then
it will keep the Release strategy C as released and it won't be reset unless
if you had change it and the condition of the total net value was higher than any value
before.
Hope this will explain the logic.

Planning release order for a Stock Transfer Requisition (PRqRel)

Hello all,
Is there a possibility to stop MRP/MPS from planning a 'Release order for a Stock Transfer Requisition (PRqRel)' ? I would want them planned after they are released (OrdDS).
Please do help out.
Regards,
Rahul

Hello again...
The sample code provided on method CHANGE_MDPSX_MDUA of this BAdI should do the trick:
method if_ex_md_change_mrp_data~change_mdpsx_mdua .
* Makes stock transport purchase requisitions not availability-relevant
*--> substitutes part of the modification of note 190298.
* For the other parts the same has to be made in methods:
* CHANGE_MDPSX_MDUP for stock transport planned orders
* CHANGE_MDPSX_MDUB for stock transport orders.
*--> delete flag for availability
clear ch_mdps-vrfkz.
*--> set changing flag
ch_changed = 'X'.
endmethod. "IF_EX_MD_CHANGE_MRP_DATA~CHANGE_MDPSX_MDUA

Define Release Procedure for Contracts in RE-FX

Hi Gurus!
I´d like to implement the release procedure for contracts in RE-FX similar at the MM module? Is it possible?
I didn´t find in RE-FX.
Thanks,
Brunoro

Hi Brunoro,
To the extent I am aware in REM exact release process is not available. Instead you can control the Creation/Activation of contract by resticting access to activity 01/07 (respectively) in your seperate roles (with the help of Basis team).
The person authoriosed for Activity 01 will not be authorised for activity 07. And communication between two users can be chanelled via worklist.

Release Strategy for Contract

Hello Experts
I am using release starategy for contract and using communication structure CEKKO in characteristics. I want to use other parameter such as material master number (MATNR) for characteristics. I see that CEKKO has component .INCLUDE (Communication Structure: PO release for User Exit). Does any one know how to use it in characteristics and if I use it can I design release strategy for particular materials?
Thanks
Ankit

this has been discussed multiple times on this forum - "Release strategy at item level for purchasing docs - PO/SA/Contract" not possible...

Release order for a stock transfer order in Product view

Hi Experts
My question is that i cann't see Release order for a stock transfer order in Product view which are available in MD04 in R/3.
I have checked all the settings for Strategy group 50-Planning without final assembly in R/3 and Requirement type in APO. In APO I have checked requirement type and category group and I can see that in category we have defined Stock Transport Requisition, Stock Transport order, Sales Order, TLB:VMI sales order, Replenishment delivery and VMI delivery as category.
One more thing i am not even selecting any selection profile for Product view.
What i need to check, Kindly suggest.
Regards
G C

Hi G.C
Check whether you have maintained correct integration model. Create integration model for transactional data. Select the sales order and PO/PR option in CFM1. The reason you need to send the sales order first when you are working with stock transfer order/stock transfer scheduling agreements you first have to send the sales order and then PO/PR. Activate the integrtion model.
First check in ECC for the Integration with Other mySAP.com Components==>Advanced Planning and Optimization==>Initial Data Transfer==>Change Transfer==>Change Transfer for Transaction Data==>Activate Online Transfer Using BTE==> here check (ND-APO, NDI options are have been checked)
Also check for the Maintenance of distribution definiton under APO -SPRO==>Integration with SAP Components==>Basic settings for data transfer==>Publication==>Maintain distribution definiton==>Select the publication type(External procurement, Delivery,Shipment) and assign to all the plants you are working with for STO.
Try the above steps and do let me know if it worked.

Release orders for value contract

Hi Folks,
I have question on value contract.
Customer contract is fullfilled by issuing orders against the contract. When a release order is created for the contract, the system automatically updates the released values in the contract. The release order value is calculated from the total of the open order and delivery values, plus the value that has already been billed to the value contract. System checks this value with "Outline agreement target value" in value contract and issues warning or error message depends on configuration settings in value contract item catagory.
We have business scenario where system has to check net value of value contract rather than checking "Outline agrrement target value" in value contract. Because we offer some discounts to customer in value contract thus net value of the contract differs from agreement value. So that system will issue error message when release order value exceeds net value of value contract.
Is there any customizing settings available to meet the requirement?
Awaiting for your inputs.
Regards,
Prabhaharan

Hi,
In transcation VTAA at item level have your own cory requirment code which will calcullate net value of the doc, hope this works out

Contract and release order for service: connection and field selection

Hi Experts,
I have some questions about contract and release order (PO against contarct) for services.
A -I want ot know if there is any standar way to oblige the creation of a release order to a contract. I mean i had some users that create a release order w/o reference to the contract and it works fine anyway. The document is a copy of the NB. I cant find the way to reference the 2 purchase document clearly.
B - Using a release order, when copying the item from contract catalogue by clicking the service selection icon, description and net price are correctly copied: the description is not modifiable but the net price can be change by the user. Can some body explain me where to modify this setting? where is the field selection and where in SPRO step by step please,
thanks in advance
Livio

... Nobody is so nice to suggest me any solution?
For the point A probably the only way is user-exit.... but for B i don't have any idea, please let me know

How to create release order for value contract?

dear experters,
I create a value contract by T-code:va41, order type"WK1".I set a Assortment module to this order and mateirl "WKM1" to it.
then I create release order by T-code:va01 with refrence to this value contract,but it set the material "WKM1" to the sales order, and I can't modify this material! I want to put another material which belong to the assortment module in the value contract. I want to know how.
thanks.
Best regards

Assortment Module for Value Contracts
This function enables you to define a list of materials that can be released from a value contract. Materials can be assigned to more than one assortment module.
An assortment module is an entry tool and can be called up from the value contract. It is valid for a certain time period.
If you delete a material from the assortment module, to which a value contract refers, you will be unable to release that material.
In the value contract, only materials with the same sales organization and distribution channel as the value contract can be taken from the assortment module. All the other materials in the assortment module are not displayed in the value contract.
To fulfill both these requirements, two types of value contracts are offered in the standard system:
Value contract type WK 1
You can specify a product hierarchy or a assortment module for value contracts with contract type WK 1. The system will always propose this type of contract, if you want to create a contract for several materials or a certain group of materials. All the materials in the relevant assortment, or belonging to the specified product hierarchy are then relevant for release.
Value contract type WK 2 (material-related)
You can create contracts for one material (usually configurable) with this type of value contract. A software company is an example of where this kind of contract is often used. There, a contract for the value of $500,000 is made with the customer for one specific software product.
You can also agree on the length of the contract for this type. The contract duration can be agreed at item level and can be different from the contract duration specified at header level.
You can store special price agreements for the value contract. These price agreements can then be used at any level. For example, a value contract can contain prices for individual materials, or discounts that are valid for every released material.
Release Orders
The customer fulfills a contract by issuing orders against the contract. The contract does not contain any exact dates for deliveries, so you need to create a sales order to release against a value contract.
When a release order is created for the contract, the system automatically updates the released values in the contract. The release order value is calculated from the total of the open order and delivery values, plus the value that has already been billed to the value contract.
The system also updates the released value for subsequent changes (for example, overdelivery of contract release, price changes in the billing document, partial deliveries, returns, rejection of order items, cancellation or reversal of orders, deliveries or billing documents).
You can create a release order in any currency. The system automatically converts this currency into the one agreed upon in the value contract on the pricing date for the contract release order.
Creating Assortment Modules for Value Contracts
Procedure
To create an assortment module, proceed as follows:
1. From the initial screen choose Logistics >Sales and Distribution >Master data.
2.Choose Products >Value contract - Assortment module > Create.
You will then be in the Create assortment module: Initial Screen.
Module type 6 is defined for the value contract.
3. For external number assignment, enter a module number.
You can then use existing modules as a reference by entering the name of the module under reference.
4. Choose Enter.
5. Enter a short description for the module.
6. Enter a validity period for the product proposal.
During a release, the system checks if the release date lies within the validity period.
7. Create the materials that you wish to assign as items to a module.
You can display a list of materials as a product proposal, which you can then copy into the assortment module. To do this, choose Suggest material, enter the selection criteria in the subsequent screen and copy the selected materials to the items. Use Edit > Delete item to delete the materials that you do not want to copy to the assortment module.
8.Save your entries.
Also Please check the copy control in VTAA

Create PO(release order) from contract

Hi,
   I have created a contract using me31k with one item,then I creted a relese order PO with same item.when I enter another item in my relase order PO which is not there in the my contract,here system allow me to add item and save without any problem.Why system does not stop this? If it is standard behaviour,then how to prevent ?.
For this issue,can some body throw some light on this issue,please?
With Regards,
Jaheer

Hi,
   The release order means the PO item created with reference to the contract item. There can be multiple items in the PO in which some items can be with reference to contract - these items eventually becomes the release orders and other items can be without reference to contract.
   In short, you can add multiple items in PO where some items can be with reference to contract item and some are not. This is standard behavior.

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 )
