Release status for condition records

Hello,
When ever a user changes the price in the condition record, I want the price to be in blocked status initially. Sales document should only pick tht price when it is release by the concerned person.
Could you tell me how is the authorization given to some users based on the processing status.
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan P.

I tried to make the Processing status as blank and tried to save it and assigned the release status "Blocked". This doesn't seem to work. Any other ideas?

Release Strategy for Condition Records

Hi,
This is a requirement from my client. The client needs to give 4 levels of release strategy for the condition records created. The selling price for the products will be entered by person 1. This has to be approved by the sales execute (person 2); then by the sales manager (person 3); finally by the General Manager (Person 4). The selling price of the products ranges from 10 lakhs to 40 lakhs. so, the release strategy is needed. This type of release strategy is available in MM for PR and PO. Please let me know whether similar facility is available in SD. Any alternative is also solicited.

K Bharathi

Hi,
Thanks for your valuable reply.
I defined 3 Processing status (Menu path: SPRO >> SD >> Basic Fn >> Pricing >> Define Processing status). They are EU-End user, KU-Key user, MD-Final authority. These processing statuses are assigned to Release status. First two processing status EU, KU were assigned to A (Blocked). The third processing status MD was assigned to Blank (Released). The purpose is: at processing status EU one person will upload the price master. Second person will check the price and will change the processing status to KU if he satisfies with the accuracy of the price master. The third person (final authority) will check the price and set the Processing status MD. Once the condition record gets the status MD, the prices can be used for creating sales order because it is released.
In the condition record for PR00, when I enterthe processing status EU or KU the release status shows 'Blocked' release statuses. When I enter MD in the processing status, the release status show 'released'.
My question is how can assign the responsibilities of changing the processing statuses EU to KU, KU to MD to two different persons.

Release status for Sales deals

Where do you set a release status for a sales deal, in the condition record or in the condition type. I was not able to find it in both the places?

condition type.
e.g K007 [customer with release status]
KA00 = Cust/material with release status

Additional Field for Condition Record ..............

Hi Gurus
Plz read the Question Properly
I know that for adding a new field as key field for condition record , one needs to append the structure( main ) KOMPAZ so that the field appears in KOMP structure .
Say want Shiiping Point as one of fields in Condition Records. ....VSTEL field
Now when the field appears in KOMP , then we can CREATE CONDITION RECORD FOR THE SAME
FOR EG: *SALES ORG - DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL-CUSTOMER-SHIPPING POINT-MATERIAL..... BASED MATERIAL PRICING
WHAT I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND
1.WHY WE PASS SHIPPING POINT ( VSTEL) FIELD FROM LIKP -VSTEL TABLE TO NEW FIELD DEFINED.
2.LIKE SALES ORG/ DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL ALSO ARE DEFINED IN ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE AND VALUE IN CONDITION RECORD IS PICKED FROM THERE ONLY, WHY NOT SHIPPING POINT.
WHY THIS ??????....
Supply the new field you defined by including the following source code line in
USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP:
MOVE xxxx-VSTEL TO TKOMP-ZZVSTEL.
In order processing you find the user exit in Include MV45AFZZ, and in billing document processing you find it in Include RV60AFZZ.

Rohit

> Plz read the Question Properly
I read the question properly ;-).
> WHAT I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND
>
> 1.WHY WE PASS SHIPPING POINT ( VSTEL) FIELD FROM LIKP -VSTEL TABLE TO NEW FIELD DEFINED.
The first thing you need to understand is that the condition records value is not based upon the the enterprise structure which you have defined. Rather it will pick value from the sales documents which we have created. The reason behind including this LIKP-VSTEL is that only, Just imagine, where you are using condition records??? in Sales order, in delivery, in billing..... and based on the data passed in these documents your condition records will be populated.
Again for example : you have maintained record for Sales org 1000, DC 10, division 00 shipping point 1000 then the record will come into the document provided the document should fulfill these all.
I hope this will make you understand this.
> 2.LIKE SALES ORG/ DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL ALSO ARE DEFINED IN ENTERPRISE STRUCTURE AND VALUE IN CONDITION RECORD IS PICKED FROM THERE ONLY, WHY NOT SHIPPING POINT.
No the records are only coming from the Sales documents. only.

What is difference between additive delta and new status for change record

Hi Experts
Can any one explain me about the difference between additive delta and new status for change record with example
if any one has a document please post it iam thank full to u
thanks
Ahmed
Please search the forum before posting a thread
Edited by: Pravender on Feb 12, 2012 1:54 PM

Hi
Additive delta --- We will get the changed quantity.
say suppose you have sales order and quantity like 1111 30 which is loaded to cube(BW).
now same record qty has changed from 30 to 40. As we have additive delta, we will get new record as 1111 10.
new status for change record: This is same as like After image delta type in standard SAP data sources. for every change in record you should have new record.
say if you have any number which will be generated by system for new/changed record, then you can use this.
You can use this option when delta option set to "numeric pointer"

ME21N - in which table saved the release status for specific release code ?

and for the specific po number.

Hi
You will find all Release codes in T16FS
Release procedures are used in condition tables to control whether the condition types for these condition tables have to be read during pricing condition determination or not.
If the condition table status is released then only the condition types will be read during pricing determination. If the status is not released, then they can be used for information purposes or for simulation of pricing.
The release status is controlled by processing status too, which can be seen in condition record creation screen.
So in crux, the processing status with Release status help in simulation of pricing, blockign the condition records from being read during pricing etc.
For more information an F1 help on the following path will give you some more information.
SPROSD-BF-PRICING-DEFINE PROCESSING STATUS----Here read the documentation meant for this link. You will get some more clarity on this.

Activate Release Status in condition table

HI,
Some has created a pricing condition table and it is being used since 5 years.
Now client had a requirement where he wants release mechanism for any new condition records created.
For this SAP provided a standard functionality of release status.
In our case release status button is not checked while creation of condition table.
Now how to reactivate the release button in the condition table.
Regards,

Hi Uday
We can't activate release function in old tables just like that. You have to create new table with same fields but with release status activate. For copying old condition records in this new table you can use
SD_MOVE_A004_TO_A304 report. As you can see with its name this report is for tables 004 and 304. If you want to copy records from 004 to 304 you can use this report. In your case you must have some other tables but if you show this report to your ABAPer he would be able to generate a new report using your tables.
You can take a look on following document provided by SAP and see the conversion section at the end of this document.

Release strategy in Condition records

Hello
We have a requirement where we can maintain price rates for condition type using VK11 and these rates are audited and released by audit team then only Sales team can use that rates in Sales order.
Regards,
Nimit

Hi,
You can use release and processing status without agreement.
You have to create processing status in customizing and assign a release status to the processing status.
For example, create 2 processing status, 1 = For approval with a release status blocked and one processing status Release with a release status = released.
Your condition table must be marked with the release status flag.
Then when you will create condition record then you will be able to enter a PROCESSING Status for your condition record. (release status will remain grey) The release status will be automatically assigned : it will take the release status assigned to your processing status.
Hope it helps !
I have a question about the processing status : do you know how to MASS change it on condition records ?

Mass change for condition record

I try to change the condition record for material with validity period of one year starting next year Jan 1st. Since that material is already exists in the system with validity period of current date to 12/31/9999, it is not saving my changes. When increase price by 5%, it is not giving any problem but when I display to see the changes "Environment-Changes-Per condition record", it is giving an popup box saying "Change documents for conditions not yet save are not possible"
I try to delete material condition with longer period. It is deleting at that moment but when I come back and see still that material exists with longer period.
how do I deal with this problem to solve?
Fully rewarded for solution.
Thanks,
Manu.

Hi Manu;
At any given point in time you can have only one valid condition record with a validity period.
1. Create a condition record with validity from today to 12/31/2007
2. Create a condition record with validity from 01/01/2008 to ....
You issue would be solved.

New status for changed records or Additive Delta

Hi Guys,
I have a design question for ODS and Extractor.
The requirement is as follows...
There is a table in CRM with service point as primary key. The fields in the table for example are bill account and Meter ID. Key figure is a XYZ value. In CRM for that Bill account Meter ID combination the XYZ value will change every year. In CRM the same record is being updated with changed value of XYZ. But in BW when the delta is being sent I do not want it to update the existing record but add it as a new record. This way the history can be tracked for previous years XYZ value.
What is required to make this happen?
When creating the extractor I think I should give the delta as new status or additive delta?
What should I indicate as delta specified field?
For the ODS ( I am on BI 7.0) should I create the normal ODS or should I create the write Optimized or something for this requirement ( I dont remember right now the 3 types of ODS we can create).
Your inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kumar.

Thanks Puneet!
Good Answer.
New and Changed records does help in getting the records as desired.
But the problem is while loading into BW I cannot create a new record. The primary key is only Service Point. So even if the key figures and dates associated with that record changes, BW will still update my existing record.
Is there a possibility of using the dates as a pointer that a new record should be created.
Let me explain it better. Following is the structure of table.
Service Point (primary key)
Product GUID (key in CRM)
Circuit ID
Installation date
Effective date
Termination date
CRC (some key figure)
Scenario is - This year Service Point A with CRC value as 50 with effective and termination date for example .. May1 2009 - Apr 31 2010.
Service Point   CRC   EffectiveDate   TerminationDate
A                     50      5/1/2009         4/31/2010
Next year the same service point will have different values and CRM system will update the record in CRM table.
Service Point   CRC   EffectiveDate   TerminationDate
A                     60      5/1/2010         4/31/2011
1) So I was wondering if there is a way or some code can be written to check if effective and termination dates are not same it should be added to ODS as a new record.
2) Another way is to make some sort of Time dependency. Like use Valid From and Valid To dates to track the changes to the record and display all the different values for every record when the CRC values were valid between what dates.
3) or some other way you can suggest

499 Step Number for condition record?

Hello Everyone,
In ECC6, Quotation print output AN00 is not showing price per unit for some items. I checked in debug, there seem to be a condition record with step number 499 (which does not have a condition type) that is missing values for XKOMV-KBERT. When I populate this value in debug, it shows up find in the output. Step number 499 is not in KONV. What logic does SAP use to come up with these values for step number 499?
I know this may sound like an ABAP question but it is not. I think some pricing is not configured right. There is a calculation type condition but it is only populating field KWERT.
TIA,
Lyn

Hi lyn
Check in your piricing procedure V/08 wheather , in the step 499 what has been maintained any text type ? and if condition type has been maintained. , check wheather condition record has been maintained or not ? and also check wheather that value is coming in the sales order or not .
check for the step 499 wheather in print feild it has been checked or not .
Regards
Srinath
