Release Procedure for Quantity Contract
Dear All,
We have a business requirement to ensure that Quantity Contracts are released by the Account Receivable Accountant before the Sales Support Staff can create Sales Orders against them.
Process : Create Quantity Contract (VA41) -> Release Contract (VKM3)->Create Sales Order (VA01)
Currently, users can create sales order against the quantity contract before the contract has been released.
I need guidance on how to implement system control to prevent this creation of Sales Orders before Quantity Contracts are released..
How can i configure release procedure for quantity contract?
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Hi
There is a concept of User Status / Status Management in SAP. By using this you can set status as default that is Blocked, and then the authorised person can release the document, only after that a person can create an Order, with reference to that Contract.
The Customisation setting is in :- IMG> sales and Distribution>Sales > Sales Document>Define and assign User Profile(T Code is BS02)
To know more about this you can search the Forum, also check the below given Link:-

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.
Regards,
bhaskarHi,
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.

Release strategy for quantity contract
Hi Gurus,
In quantity contract .. target value will not filled by the value(in header details) as it is quantityt contract.
We may have different line items with different cost..
my doubt is how the release strategy will be triggered for the quanityt contract and how the system will consider the whole value of the contract..
please explain/clarify
regards
subbuHi,
The release strategy for the contract will work in the exact mechanism as for the PO i.e. it will be determined based upon the total net value of the entire purchasing document.
Cheers,

Release Procedure For Contract
Dear Gurus,
I have created a release procedure for Purchase Order.Now i created a Contract , it also asking for release.I dont know y its happening??
Is ter any link between Po release and Contract Release??
Plz Explain ....
Thanks in advance...........Hi,
Whatever document types you give in release procedure will undergo Approval process.
Since you have given MK & WK, your contract has been blocked for release. Unless it is released, it cannot be used for further transactions, say creation of PO.
Tcode to release contract is ME35K.
Release it using your release group & release codes, Afterwhich you will be able to create PO with contract reference.
If you donot want contract to undergo release procedure, please do not mention WK or MK in values for doc characteristics. Give the document type of PO alone. Say NB (standard PO)

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,
BrunoroHi 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.

Error in Release procedure for PO
Hi
I have created a release procedure for Purchase groups and plants. But now I want to add a new Purchasing group to the same strategy. How to do this.Hi Garapati,
Release strategy is configuration in customisation screen. Do not merely do assignment of object via CL20N or CL24N. Though assigning the object would work, but is better to do it in customisation.
Go to this path: -
SPRO>IMG>Materials Management>Purchasing>Purchase Order>Release Procedure for Purchase Orders>Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order (Execute)-->Release Strategies
Go to: Position>Identify the Group> Identify the Release Strategy code
(How to know what is the release strategy code? In the PO where a release strategy for this value and characteristic is triggered, you can go to the Header-->Release Strategy tab, you would be able to see that the release strategy is triggered. Simply remember the release strategy code. If you already know the code, ignore this step)
When the search is complete and located the right release strategy that you want to amend, select it and click on Details.
Inside, go to Classification. Check that this release strategy contain the characteristic that you want to amend. You would be able to see the Characteristic "Purchasing Group" already maintained. Click on Purchasing Group line and click on "Add rows" icon below, then key in the the Purchasing Group value that you want to add.
Hit Back, and then Save this customisation.
Now, the PO release strategy will trigger the Purchasing Group you just added if the PO details entered matched the Purchasing Group, Plant and Document Type value that you maintained for this release strategy.
Hope this helps.

With classification release procedure for PO
Dear Experts ,
here one issue is with classification release procedure for PO
when I create characteristics
in Additional data
table name :-- Cekko field name :-- match code
enter
click all sec charars then which block I select to go next screen
and fill name is right or ?
please help mehi,
in additional data field you have to give the field name of characteristic you are maintaining. like if you want to maintain characteristic as document type of the PO then we have to give the field name for document type mentioned in table CEKKO i.e. BSART.
then you have to do the value assignment. here you have to tick the check box for "NOT READY FOR INPUT".

Regarding releasing procedure for p.o.
hi sapgurus,
the configuration for p.o. release procedure is working perfectly but whenever i go to me29n or me28 i am getting two step release procedure but in industry if the manager has given excess to me29n/me28 then himslef ca release the p.o by means of clicking both release steps, that means without general manager review the manager can release the p.o by means of clicking both. hence i am willing to restricate each user's acess to other stepd release procedure.
