Release stratedgy of service entry sheet

Hi,
I have created release stradegy of service entry sheet.
I have created
Group Y1 and Release Strategy 1 (General) the Release Codes FR in the first line and AB in the second line.
On the Prerequisites dialog box I have marked the small box AB in the second line .
On the Release Statuses dialog box, I have defined the Release Statuses as under.
FR     AB     Release indicator
          N = Not accepted
X          B = Order placed
X     X     A = Service Accepted
but when *I simulating the stratedgy it is showing pre requisite AB is missing.*
*I have checked AB but FR is showing checked in release status dialog box.*
*In me81n release is possible only for FR.* is showing .
How I can have release first AB then FR.
pl help.

Hi,
please check the table T16FV for the release sequence - prerequisits..
The design is: if there are prerequisite codes necessary for some release step it can always be just one prerequisite code per level.                                                                               
1)  You  work with release code AB and FR: Please check how many Persons are                         
authorized to release with AB or FR.                                                                    
2) If you don't use any prerequisites: AB and FR can release at the                              
same time.                                                                               
In customizing (release statuses) you assign release indicators as                                
follows (example):                                                                               
AB FR                Release indicat                                                          
X                        B                                             
        X                 N                       
X     X                 A                                                                               
All other combinations will have release indicator N(blocked).                                   
This way you can guarantee the entry sheet can just be                                    
released if both AF and AB released.

  • Release startegy of Service Entry Sheet

    I configured release strategy for Service entry sheet with Release code 08.
    When i actually go to ML81N to release the same, i get same code in the drop down but when i select the same (08), it gives me "error  Release with code 08 not possible", instead it allows only to release the same with Release code R1 which is the code for Purchase Requisition.
    What could be the problem ?

    Hi,
    I have just configured two release strategies for entry sheet's and they work correctly in our development sandpit. when I moved these to the test client, the config is showing correctly but the internal tables have not updated properly.
    This gives me the same error, but that is because the system cant actually find the release code.
    Is this the same problem you are having? If so I can post the solution for you.
    Cheers,

    Where is the problem?, anybody could help me?
    Tks in advance,
    Nacho

    Hi,
    please read the FAQ note 672719, question 5:
    Setting up a release procedure is explained in the following short                         
    example: All service entry sheets with material group 007 are supposed                     
    to be subject to a release strategy. This release strategy requires that                   
    the service entry sheets must be released with release code A1. Only the                   
    cost center manager has the authorization for release code A1.                                                                               
    A) Create a characteristic for the material group:                                                                               
    o  Call Transaction CT04. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:                     
           Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master                     
           Data -> Characteristics)                                                                               
    o  Specify a name for the characteristic, for example CESSR_MATKL,                     
           and choose the 'Create' pushbutton.                                                                               
    o  On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter a description and keep the                      
           'Released' status.                                                                               
    o  On the 'Addnl data' tab page, enter table name CESSR and field                      
           name MATKL (Material group).                                                                               
    o  Enter class type 032 (Release strategy) on the 'Restrictions' tab                   
           page and then save the characteristic.                                                                               
    Note: The release strategy must be based on a field of structure CESSR.                    
    Using Transaction SE11, you can display which other fields are available                   
    in addition to the material group (field MATKL).                                           
    B) Create a class to which you assign the characteristic:                                                                               
    o  Call Transaction CL02. (Path in the SAP menu in R/3 Enterprise:                                 
           Cross-Application Components -> Classification System -> Master                                 
           Data -> Classes)                                                                               
    o  Enter a class name, for example FRG_ESSR, and class type 032 (for                               
           release strategy) and then choose the 'Create' pushbutton.                                                                               
    o  On the 'Basic data' tab page, enter any name. (Keep the                                         
           'Released' status.)                                                                               
    o  Enter characteristic CESSR_MATKL on the 'Char.' tab page and then                               
           save the class.                                                                               
    C) Now carry out the required Customizing settings. Follow IMG path                     
    (Transaction SPRO) 'Materials Management -> External Services Management                                                                               
    Seite 4                                                                               
    -> Define Release Procedures for Service Entry Sheet'                                                                               
    o  At first, you must create a release group (for example 03). For                  
           that, choose 'Release Groups', then choose 'New Entries', enter                  
           'Rel. Group' = 03 and 'Class' = FRG_ESSR. Save the entry. The                    
           system automatically determines value 3 (for entry of services                   
           performed) for the release object.                                                                               
    o  Now create release code A1 for release group 03. Choose 'New                     
           Entries' and specify the following values: Grp = 03, Code = A1,                  
           and description, for example cost center manager.                                                                               
    o  Create two release indicators, for example A and B. Select the                   
           'Released' field for release indicator B and save the entries.                   
           (Note: A release strategy must at least contain two release                      
           indicators. The first indicator (here A) must be defined as                      
           locked, the last indicator as released. Furthermore, the general                 
           changeability of the service entry sheet and the behavior for                    
           value changes are defined via the release indicators.)                                                                               
    o  Finally create the release strategy. Choose 'New Entries' and                    
           specify the following values: Release group = 03, release                        
           strategy, for example RS, release codes = A1. Assign the two                     
           release indicators A and B via 'Release statuses'. Assign                        
           material group 007 via 'Classification'. Save the release                        
           strategy.                                                                               
    D) Assign the authorization for release code A1 and release group 03 to                     
    the cost center manager. In role maintenance (Transaction PFCG), you can                    
    for example use the default values for Transaction ML85 for that.

  • Disable release flag in service entry sheet for specific users

    How can we disable the release flag for specific user/s in Service Entry Sheet(ML81N)?
    Can any one suggest?
    arjman

    Hi dear,
                In the ML81N T code, there is an object M_EINK_FRG Release code and code grp.
    leave it empty. and assign the Role to the user with whoom you dont want to release the SES.
    In this process the system will show you the green flag and also allow you to release the SES but when you will save it the system will give an Error Message about the Authorization.
    this will not allow the user to release the SES.
    Hope it Helps,

  • Release Procedure for Service Entry Sheet Wr to the Purchasing document

    Hi,
    I have configured the Service entry sheet release procedure on the basis of Purchase order document type by creating Characteristic With table -field (CESSR - BSART) and also class is maintained where the defined characteristic has been assigned.Release group is assigned to the class and all necessary customizing activities carried over. I assigned release group n Strategy thru Cl20n and also checked in Cl30n for the document type where system is exactly proposing only one value for the document type. But when i create Service entry sheet thru ML81N after saving the document i checked for release strategy through Goto-> Service entry sheet -> Release Strategy which is grey mode.
    I tried thru ML85 System says that no suitable purchasing document is available for release.

  • User names of service entry sheet release strategy

    Dear Expert ,
    Kindly guide from which table could I get the user names values who done the release strategy for service entry sheet for example I have 3-release codes : 1. Creator
                            2. Verifier
                            3. Approver
    So I need to know who has done these 3-actions for respective service entry .
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    The information about the Person who has relesed the  entry sheet will be not stored in the change document for the entry sheet.          
    There is only the information about which release code has released the SES. In an organization a certain user or a group of   users can use the very same release code.
    However, if you have also configured a workflow with this release strategy, then it is possible to know who has                 
    released the SES.
    You will need to create you own report which reads the change history (CDHDR and CDPOS) and finds out the date when the last release code of  the release strategy has been released and to find out based on this data who was the approver.

  • Release strategy for PO and Service Entry Sheet

    Hi
    I maintain characteristics- Plant, Doc Type , Order Value & Purchasing Group for PO release strategy.
    should I maintain the same characteristics for service entry sheet ?
    the approval will be the same for both

    Hi,
    The Po reselase strategy can be set up separately from the entry sheet release strategy, so you can use even different characteristics for your entry sheet release strategy. These are not connected!
    Please read note 672719 question 5 - How can I set up a release procedure for service entry sheets?
    Note: The release strategy must be based on the structure CESSR.
    The PO release strategy is based on the structure CEKKO.
    For the SEs release strategy you must create a different class.

  • Revoke released Service entry sheet

    Hi,

    Can anyone please help regarding this.

    Hi Veronica,
    My Answer is still not solved.
    however in my case, the Users where doing Credit memo instead of cancelling the invoice receipt(MR8M). becuase of which i was gettign the error.
    If the user does a cancellation of invoice receipt instead of Credit memo then the error is avoided.

  • Service Entry sheet to be set as Not accepted status

    Hi
    After flagging the Transfer check box in the Settlement Tab in item details of shipment cost document(VI03), the Purchase order(ME23N) and Service entry sheet(ML81N) are automatically getting generated. PO and Service entry sheet numbers can be seen in Service Procurement tab.
    Question 1: When I separetely look into PO, I am unable trace back the flow. I mean, there is no reference  of Shipment cost number in PO.
    Question 2: I want the service entry sheet to get on hold/not accepted status so that i can add the list of services performed by the Forwarding agent / service agent mentioned in Shipment cost document.
    Question 3: I have made Release strategy for Service entry sheet which is properly working when i am accepting  the entry sheet manually. But it is not working when the shipment cost document is triggering PO and Service entry sheet automatically. Actually, It should hold the service entry sheet from not being accepted.
    Note: This subject is a mix of  Transportation (Logistics Execution) and  External Service Management (Materials management). The moderator of this forum can take a call on placement of this thread under suitable section.

  • Service Entry Sheet Notification

    Dear Experts,
    I am configuring the Release procedures for Service Entry Sheet.  Now, I want to configure the workflow for that, just the same way as it is done in PO and PR Release Procedures.  Example: SPRO->Materials Management->Purchasing->Purchase Requisition->Release Procedure->Procedure with Classification->Set Up Procedure with Classification->Workflow.
    My questioin is this, is there a standard solution for configuring the system to send automatic notifications to the Releaser's SAP Inbox once a Service Entry Sheet is ready to be released, just the same way as it is done in the PR & PO releases?
    I appreciate your help.

    Check by SWO1 to find if having one business object for SES. If having you can!

  • Best Practices for Service Entry Sheet Approval

    Hi All
    Just like to get some opinion on best practices for external service management - particularly approval process for Service Entry Sheet.
    We have a 2 step approval process using workflow:
    1 Entry Sheet Created (blocked)
    2. Workflow to requisition creator to verify/unblock the Entry Sheet
    3. Workflow to Cost Object owner to approve the Entry Sheet.
    For high volume users (e.g. capital projects) this is cumbersome process - we looking to streamline but still maintain control.
    What do other leaders do in this area?  To me mass release seems to lack control, but perhaps by using a good release strategy we could provide a middle ground? 
    Any ideas or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks
    AC.

    Hi,
    You can have purchasing group (OME4) as department and link cost center to department (KS02). Use user exit for service entry sheet release and can have two characteristics for service entry sheet release, one is for value (CESSR- LWERT) and another one for department (CESSR-USRC1) .Have one release class for service entry sheet release & then add value characteristics (CESSR- LWERT) and department characteristics (CESSR-USRC1). Now you can design release strategies for service entry sheet based on department & value, so that SES will created and then will be released by users with release code based on department & value assigned to him/her.

  • Service Entry Sheet Release Procedure

    Dear all,
    I want to assign a new Plant to an existing service entry release strategy. In CL20N for Class Type 032 and maintaining the Release Group and Release Strategy I want, I hit ENTER and the Class SERVICE_RELEASE is displayed, which is correct (it is a service entry release procedure).
    Selecting the item and displaying the values for the Class, I have Plant, Order Type and Cost Centre. I added a new row, include a new Plant and hit Save. I get the message "Saving changes to assignments" and then I exit the screen.
    However, to double check that the object has been assigned to the class, I check in SPRO>Materials Mgt>External Services Mgt>Define Rel. Procedure for Service Entry Sheet> Release Strategies to confirm that the object was created in the classification for service entry release procedure. BUT IS NOT THERE!
    However, if I performed the assignment in Classification in SPRO for the release strategy, and check in CL20N, IT IS THERE!!
    How come I have created in CL20N and it is not displayed in SPRO for the same release strategy? The object assignment was successful with no error msg. It is not possible that you have done it in CL20N and you have to do the same in SPRO, right? Doesn't serve the purpose..
    Pls help.
    Thank you.

    Dear Sir,
    Go to CL02 give the Class and Class type, click on change icon
    Copy the characteristic of Plant from Char. Tab
    Then Go to CT04
    give characteristic which is copied from class and click on change icon.
    enter your new plant in Values tab, Save back
    Go to CL20N, give release group and release code for which you want to maintain the new plant.
    give the plant  and save enter.
    i hope this will help you.
