Release procedure for Purchase orders

Hello SAP Gurus,
Can anyone explain in steps the release procedure for purchase orders and also can any one explain how it differs from Puchase requisition release procedure.
Thanks
NDS

Hi
Release procedure for Purchase orders here is process flow.
Go to spro>img>materials management>purchassing>Release procedure for Purchase orders
1. Create characterstics -Intially you will create characterstics based on which you would like to release a purchase order.
Charactrestics are like plant, purchase order value,purchase group etc.. Assign characterstics to release class 032.
2. Create Release group say 01 and create release codes like pm(project manager), gm(general manager) etcc..
3. Create a Release starategy say s1 and assign release group to it 01 and release class 032 and department to whom this release stategy applies say MM. define the order of release say first pm followed by gm etc..
4. under classfication define value limits for release of purchase order.
5. define release indicators
6. simulate the release
7. assign if there is any workflow.
hope it helps.

Hi Rajasekharan,
Go to tcode ME22 and enter the Purchase order number.
inside the Display screen,u can see a GREEN flag button on the Application Toolbar.

U will see the release code,provided the Purchase order is set to release strategy,after that Go to tocde ME28 enter the release code ,along with Document number and then release the Purchase order.
Actually the tcode for releasing purchase order is ME28
Reward points if useful.

Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders

Hi Friends,
We are changing Release procedure for purchase orders for one department from > $ 5000 to > $ 10000.
We defined three characteristics for the class namely Purchasing Order Document, Purchasing Order Type and Ner Order Value which is Currency data type. I Defined Release Procedure for Purchase Orders in configuration master. It's working fine, I mean the Net order Value field is updated in Configuration Client.
After transporting the above change to the Testing Client, the Net Order Value field did not update in testing Client even though I created Characteristics in Testing Client (as characters are not transportable, I created them seperately in Testing Client). I can't update the Net Order Value manually in Testing Client as it says "Client 010 (test) has status 'not modifiable' "
Please tell me how to update that field, as the net order value didn't change even after transport. I can't change manually in testing Client as the status is "not modifiable"

Hi,
Yes I have already done that.
In SPRO,
After hitting the following:-
MM --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Release Procedure for Purchase Orders --> Define Release procedre for Purchase Orders
I have to process the objects in the following sequence,
Release Group, Release Code, Release Indicator, Release Strategy & Workflow.
Upto Release Indicator it is fine. After hitting Release Strategy, I should select the release strategy (which I just created) and display. Then 4 buttons will be displayed namely,
Release Prerequisites, Release statuses, Classification, Release simulation.
Upto Release statuses it's fine. Afeter hitting Classification,
the values of Purchase document & Order type are populated, but the Total Net Order Value is Blank. It is supposed to populate the amount & 10,000. But it is not.
Actually that amount will be stored in the field GNETW of table CEKKO. But CEKKO is a Structure not a table. So I can't update the field.
Please advice me...
Thank You,
Nag

Release strategy for purchase requisition does not kick in

Hi Gurus!
I've been struggling with this issue for some weeks now.
I have set up the release strategy configuration for purchase requisitions with classifications.
However, if I create a purchase requisition the release functionality is not taken into account by the system.
See below some more information regarding my configuration:
1. I've created a new characteristic "REL_PR_GROUP". Status: released, Multiple values, Number of Chars 3, 7 values (TR1, TR2, TR3....TR7), Table name: CEBAN, Field name: EKGRP, Procedure for value assignment set to not ready for input.
2. I've created a new class: "REL_PR_ANPC". Class type 032, Status: released, Same classification: do not check, Char: "REL_PR_GROUP"
3. I have one release group "T1", Rel. object 1, OverReqRel is marked, Class: "REL_PR_ANPC"
4. I have 5 release codes. Grp: T1, Code: 01....05
5. I have 2 release indicators:
"R = Released", Rel. for ordering is marked, Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
"X = Blocked", Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
6. I have 1 release strategy:
"T1 with Grp T1"
- one release group, 01 Manager
- release prerequisites not applicable because of only one release group
- release status, nothing marked = blocked, 01 marked = released
- classification, purchasing group is TR1 or TR2 or TR3 or TR4 or TR5 or TR6 or TR7
I intentionally kept the configuration as simple as possible so I can try to get it working first.
Now if I create a purchase requisition for an item with release group T1, I would expect the release strategy to be activated. However, this is not the case. I don't see the "release status" tab in the PR, and if I try to relase via ME54 the system says the PR is not relevant for release.
Could you please assist in getting this working?

Hi,
Have you checked in CL30/CL30N if your release strategy is derived successfully?
See section 3 of Note 365604. A small section of it:
You can use transaction CL30 search for an object using the data
of the purchase requisition/purchase order. Here, it is important
that the object search determines exactly one strategy. If this
is not the case, this indicates that there are overlapping
strategies in the system or that the release strategies in
Customizing do not correspond with those from transaction CL24.
See the previous point. If the object search returns more than
one result, the system subsequently determines an incorrect
release strategy or no release strategy at all.
If it is derived successfully, next, check the user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 as per Note 371667:
The following assignment statement has to exist within activated SAP
enhancements M06B0002 (include zxm06u13) and M06B0005 (include zxm06u31)
for purchase requisitions:
E_CEBAN = I_CEBAN.

Purnima.

Redetermine release strategy for purchasing requisitions

Hi Guys,
How can I redetermine the release strategy for purchasing requisions when changes on the costcenter (EBKN-KOSTL) are done -
I know that it will be redermined when I add the costcenter as charateristics in customizing for release strategy but thats not an option
I also tried to add coding in userexit for changing the communication strategy (Include ZXM06U13) but this exit doesn't provide information of the document number and position (EBAN, EBKN ..) so I can't find out if changes have been made
I spend several hours trying to find solutions for this issue but no working results so far ..
I hope you can help me on that
TIA
Manuel

Hi,
Note that EBKN will have entries corresponding to a PR only when it is
saved or checked, so KOSTL will not have any values for a PR which is under
creation. You should always use fields from structure CEBAN while
creating characteristics for Requisition release procedure as it
contains most of the relevant data about a PR under creation/change.
I would advice you to check the note 365604.
Please also check the changeability indicator in the customizing:
transaction OLME -> Purchase Requisitions -> Release Procedure -> Procedure with Classification -> Set Up Procedure with Classification -> Release indicator -> check the detail screen for settings.
Please check additionally the possible values for your characteristic cost centre (transaction CT04).

Release Procedure of Purchase Requisition

We are trying to configure the release strategy of purchase requisition with classification system. Following field are included in the release strategy: document type, creation indicator, requisitioner, item category, purchasing organization and total value of item; but the strategy is not effecting due to the item category field. We have verified all the remaining fields and they are working properly.
Following are the characteristics detail of the item category.
1.Multiple values checked in the Basic Data tab
2.Following values set in the Value tab
         a. blank for standard
         b. K for consignment
         c. D for services
3.Following values set in the Additional data tab
         a.CEBAN in the table name
         b.EPSTP in the field name
However, we have also verified the following table and field values in Additional data tab
1.     CEBAN table with PSTYP field
2.     MEREQ3211GRID table with EPSTP field
3.     MEREQ3211GRID_DATA table with EPSTP field
4.     MEREQ3211GRID_DATA table with PSTYP field
But none of the above is working.
It will be highly appreciated if you provide help to configure the Release Strategy of Purchase Requistion with item category.
Thanks & Best Regards
M. Rehan Qureshi

Hi Muhammad
The item category applied in PR is external one (Field: EPSTP)
In IMG ("Define external representation of Item categories"), a corresponding internal item cat are defined (Field: PSTYP).
In the comm structure CEBAN, the available field is internal item cat. is PSTYP.
Hence u need to maintain the values of internal item cat for the characterisic.
By this, you will get the desired.

Release strategies for purchase requisitions

Hello,
I'm having trouble with profiles and roles for release strategies, this is the scenario:
-for purchase requisitions we have two approval levels, release code S1 and S2. When release code S1 is cleared, then S2 must be approved. The head of a certain purchasing group will use S1 to approve the requisitions from his own department, and then the financial director will approve with S2. However, finance is also a purchasing group, so in some instances the finance director will have to approve with S1 and then S2.
My question is: how can we use profiles and roles so that the finance director has access with S2 to all (*) purchasing groups, but with S1 for only a certain purchasing group (in this case "500")? we can't seem to be able to define certain purchasing groups to different release codes, purchasing groups must be defined at purchsing requisitiom level.
Many thanks
Daniel

HI,
Not necessarily, you just need a different strategy for each different combination of release codes involved.
So if certain P groups need to be put through a different sequence of approvals, then have one new strategy for this group of P groups and one for the other combination of P groups.
Or however many different variations you have.

Release procedure for Purchase Requsition and especially f. a document type

Dear Experts,
how can I establish a release procedure. I need to set up the procedure
without classification. But it depends on a document type.
I have been to the customizing section with spro
Materials Management/Purchasing/Purchase Requisition/Release Procedure
and have choosen "Set up Procedure without classification. ".
But can I assign a document type and how is the handling generally with.
Release Codes
Release indicator
Assign Release Indicators
Release Points: Prerequisites
Determination of Release Strategy
Thanks
Ilhan

Hi Ramesh,
You are saying:
"Click on the Release strategy button under item tabs". Where is this button.
All what I have is: Tab for "Material Data", "Quantities", "Valuation", "Account Assignment",
"Source of Supply", "Status", "Contact Person", "Texts","Delivery Adress", "Customer Data",
on calling of Tcode me54n I get immediatly a message
"Purchase Requisition 5000000131 can not be released" although I didn't enter any number in it
Why does it refer to a PR Nr. generally . I think it is pre-filled- How can I call this transaction without this message ? Or how can I call this transaction so that I can type in my own Purchase Rq-Nr.

Ilhan

Hi
Dear All
I need a clarification that my needs cost centre based release strategy for Po, but t is not in Cekko table.i have to use customer exit M06E0004 or any other way to use cost centre as char in release st.
i appreciare if anybody can help/ give the suggestion in this regard
MVRAo

Hi,
Which Documents Can be Released (Approved)?
Release procedures can be defined for the following documents:
Purchase Requisition
The external purchasing documents purchase order (PO), contract, scheduling agreement,request for quotation (RFQ), and service entry sheet
Release Procedure for Purchase Requisitions
Two different procedures are available for requisitions:
With classification
With this procedure, requisitions can be released both at item level (i.e. item-by-item)and in total. The latter approach is also termed overall release.
 Without classification
With this procedure, requisitions can only be released at item level.
The two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor
of one of them only - you cannot use both).
Release Procedure for External Purchasing Documents
External purchasing documents (i.e. purchasing documents other than requisitions) are released at header level. Item-by-item release is not possible. These documents can only be released using the release procedure with classification.
Procedure Without Classification (Requisition Items Only)
The conditions can be based on one of the following item characteristics or a combination of
these:
 Account assignment category
Material group
Plant
Total value
Hope this will answer your question
Thanks

Hi,
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.
An example of configuring a Purchase Order Release Strategy
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.
Steps for configuring the PO release strategy
Create the PO Characteristic
Transaction code : CT04 - Create Characteristic e.g. NETVALUE
Click Additional data tabstrips
Table name CEKKO Field name GNETW and press enter and you will see this information message :-
Format data taken from Data Dictionary (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 tabsritps (X refers to tick),
X Mutliple values
X Interval values
In the Value data, in the Char. value column, type >=10000 (equal or greater than 10000) and press enter
Save your data
Create the Class of the PO Release Strategy
Transaction code : CL02 - Class
Class - Create REL_PUR
Class type - 032
Click Create button
Description - Release Procedure for Purchase Order
In the Same Classification section, click Check with error
In the Char. (characteristic) tabstrips, type NETVALUE to assign your characteristics to the class
Save your data and this message will appear :-
Class type 032: Class REL_PUR created
Define the Release Procedure
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
Save your entries.
Release codes - New entries
Grp Code
02 01
Save your entries.
Release indicators - New entries
Release indicators Release Description
0 Blocked
1 X Release
Save your entries
Release Strategy - New entries
Release group 02
Rel.strategy 01 - Release
Release codes 01
Release status 0 - Blocked
1 - Release
Click the Release prerequisities button
Click the Relase statuses button the click the Continue button
Click the Classification button
Choose your check values
Click the Back button
Save your entries
Check your PO release configuration
Finally, check your PO Release Strategy configuration to make sure that there are no errors.
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.

Mohar

Release procedure for PR

Hi,
I need to upgrade the existing release procedure for Purchase requistion.
I have created new release groups, release codes and strategies.

I need my release at the header level and i am working on the release procedure with classification.
Let me know what is going wrong or do i have to any thing further.
Thanks,
