Release strategy against material type

Hi
Our customer requires a separate to group of people to release Raw Material POs and a person to release Spare Parts related POs. How can I set release strategy according to material type?

Hi,
These 2 purchases (Raw Mat & Spare Parts), are they being purchased by the same Purchasing Group?
If different, you can use Purchasing group as a classification in your release strategy.
Or Material Groups as a classification?
Currently, i dont know if there is a way to differentiate between material types in PO for your release classification.
Maybe you can use Exit to control CEBAN-USRC1 where, It includes the first few characters of your material number range.
Im assuming that you have:
1) SP001001 for Spare parts
2) RM001001 for Raw Materials
So you can use SP, for Spare parts release strategy and RM for Raw Materials Release Strategy.
Im not sure if this works, just an idea.

  • How config release strategy by materia type.

    Hello... Help me...
    I want to PO Release by material type(MTART), but in CEKKO, there is no MTART.
    So I use user-exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002-ZXM06U22.
    But I didn't config PO release by material type.
    I set characteristic-additional data  Table name : CEKKO, Field name : LBLIF.
    What is wrong this user-exit program? (If material type = ZROH' --> PO Release)
      DATA IS_BEKPO TYPE BEKPO.
      move-corresponding i_cekko to e_cekko.
      LOOP AT IT_BEKPO INTO IS_BEKPO.
        IF IS_BEKPO-MTART = 'ZROH'.  
           MOVE IS_BEKPO-MTART TO  E_CEKKO-LBLIF.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.

    Hi,
    For PO's, only header level release is possible. There is no item level release possible.
    Material type is item level data. That's why using material type, you can't configer release strategy for the PO's.

  • PR release procedure for material types

    Hi all,
    I have a question, I created new release procedure for combination :
    1. NB pur.requsition, purchasing group + material type (let sey roh.. etc)
    2. YNB pur.requsition, purchasing groups + material type (ZSTE-001, ZSTE-002, ZSTE-003).
    - 3 characteristcs for pur.groups, doc.type and material type.
    - 1 class
    - 2 release groups (E1 and P1)
    - For release group P1, In rel.strategy in classification I entered values for pur. requisition (NB), purchasing groups (001,002, 003 ect) and material types (ZUSL-001.. ect)
    - For release group E1, in rel. strategy in classification entered values
    values for pur. requisition (YNB), purchasing groups (001,002, 003 ect) and material types (ZSTE-001, ZSTE-002, ZSTE-003)
    So, problem is that if I enter pur.requisition YNB and material type ZSTE-001, needs release; if I add item with material type ZUSL-001, there is no release.
    How can I restrict the values so that is giving error if by mistake is entered between material types ZSTE-001, ZSTE-002, ZSTE-003 material type ZUSL-001 in document type YNB, which is not allowed to be entered?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hello
    In PR you can set up this release strategy without classification release strategy.
    w/o classification strategy you can define the release line item wise. so you can give diiff materual group you can enter with line item wise.

  • PR release strategy with material group

    Hi Experts,
    Release strategy for Purchase requisition already configured with characteristics Document type and Total net order Value.
    For fulfill new requirement we have created New character with Material group.Our requirement is for Two material groups separate  release strategy has to be trigger and remaing other material groups old release strategy has to be trigger.For exple if X and Y are two material groups ,which require seperate release strategy.Other than X and Y material groups requir old release strategy.
      all the material groups assigned to character.Blank material group also assigned to the character.In release strategy level in classification view we have assigned two material groups( X and Y ) for separate release strategy and remaining  material groups and Blank material group to old release strategy.
       At the time of creation of PR if i give two  material groups ( X and Y)for different line items, seperate release strategy is not triggering, where as old release strategy is triggeringIf i create PR with single material group( X) for all line items it is triggering seperae release strategy properly.
       For other material groups (other then X and Y )with different line items it is triggering old release strategy properly.
          Kindly help me to resolve the problem.

    Hi,
    Please add Blank material group to the new release strategy also.

  • PR Release Strategy for DOCUMENT TYPE

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created a Document Type in PR & I want to set a Release Startegy for ONLY that Document Type.
    Can anybody explain me step by setp procedure for this ?, I have gone thru one link :
    http://www.sap123.com/showthread.php?t=59
    but I could not set the relase startegy. May be I am missing something ??
    Thanks & Regards,

    If you want to define the release strategy only for doc type
    then
    create the class using CL02
    create the chra for Doc type using CT04  - the table is CEBAN and the field is BSART
    then assign the doc type value in char (after you create the char then go back and assign the value)
    now assign your char to your class
    now go to SPRO and goto PR release strategy config -  procedure with classification
    go to Set Up Procedure with Classification
    create your release group by assigning the calss you have created (make sure this config should have only one class)
    create release code
    release indicator is already exist in sap so you don;t need to create
    create your release strategy and assign the value in classification tab of release strategy
    this will work
    but make sure that - if you are creating only for doc type means all the reqs created for this doc type will be blocked by the system. so if you have reqs like if this doc type and the amount >5000 then only block then you have to have amount is also you char in your class
    hope this will give you a cleat idea

  • PR Release with Material Type Characteristics

    Dear Experts,
    Any of you used material type as PR release class craracteristics?
    I have one query regarding this-
    1. My business requires material type wise relesae strategy, means raw material and spares will have separate release strategy
    2. We have included material type in Class cracteristics.
    My query is if user creates a PR with out material code, that PR will not have any material type. But I want this to follow the release strategy. How to achieve this goal?
    Anybody worked with this scenario?
    Full points will be awarded for suitable solutions.
    Regards,
    Santoah

    Hi,
    Instead of material type, you can use material groups for release strategy. Even, if a user creates a requisition without material code, he will still have to enter a material group. This will serve ur purpose.
    However, if there are many material groups and you prefer going with material type, then you will have to enhance the communication structure CEBAN, with Material type field, to be able to create a release characteristic for material type.
    Hope this helps. Reward, if useful.

  • Retriggering Release strategy for PR with Document Type, Company Code and Price Range as Characaterstics

    Hi Friends,
    I have a issue to fix. The issue is releated to PR.
    There are some PR's in the system which has wrong release strategy picked up or wrong approvers picked up due to some congif change. now that the config changes are rectified correctly, we need to find a solution to correct the PR's which got affected due this.
    I have to retrigger the release strategy for all the affected PR's.
    The characterstics which we have consider for release strategy is Document Type, Company Code and Price Range.
    Can anyone suggest how can we retrigger the PR in bulk or individual to all the affected PR's, so that it picks up correct release strategy as per new config changes.

  • Release strategy for PO and RO

    Hi All
    My release strategy for Purchase order and Release Order is same.My release strategy has material group and PO/RO value as characteristics. What I want is that my releaase strategy for PO should be based on value whereas for RO it should be based on material group. Is this possible since we cannot have different release group for PO and RO.
    Pl suggest how to go about?

    HI Satish,
    In the characteristic value screen we not only can give single values ,but also multiple values
    and also range of values.
    Since the Data type for this Feild is character ,that is the reason it is not taking Ranges
    So the same is not working for PO,I too Checked the same.
    So it is that you have to have material group ,then there is no other go but entering all the values for the same.
    As we cant add a new Release Class also
    Becoz the release class cant be different ,so as the characteristic values would be same.
    if i could find something else will post you soon.
    but as of know we cant do nothing in this case but create all the material group as charecterics values and add to that strategy.
    Thanks
    Anjanna.

  • Contract Release strategy

    Dear Guru,
    We have three types of contracts like A type, B type, C type......with these three types of contracts we have release strategy with different conditions.
                   For A type of contract : Release Strategy should trigger on cost center and value base.
                   For B Type of Contract :  Same conditons like above.
                   For C type of contract : it should trigger on duration base like.....if contract create for one year itshould trigger manager........if one year to two years it should trigger to director........if above two years it should trigger to CEO.
              This is my requirement.....how to configure this pls explain me.
    Best Regards,
    Bhaskar.

    Hi,
    You can only have one class and so you will have to use all of the characteristics from each type of check that you want.
    So you would need a characteristic of Cost centre, one for Value and one for start and end date. (in addition to whatever characteristic you are using to determine if the contract is type A, B or C.)
    With the release strategies you need to ensure that for type A and B contracts the date range characteristic is not checked and so you need to specify that all date ranges are included (so if the difference between the two dates is one day to 999 years).
    then on the release strategy for the type C contract, make sure that the cost centre and value characteristics are set to include all too (so cost centre 0000 to ZZZZ and value from 0.01 to 9999999, if you don't want either to be checked).
    this should work, the basic idea is that you ahev to have ALL characteristics included in every strategy but you use the values to make sure that you ignore certain characteristics in certain situations.

  • Service PR release strategy

    Dear all,
        We need to configure release strategy for Only Service PR which consist Account Assignment Category 'K' and Item Category 'D'.
    How can we configure it?
    We have release strategy in general.That means no service specific release triggered.Release effected for both Service and Material PR.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    As per your post, you require separate release strategy for Material PR and Serivce PR.
    now as per my pervious post, you can assign two more charcaterstic to your calss used in release of PR.
    Now for Service PR, you can put value as given above.
    Now for material PR, these field should be blank not you need to assign blank values to these chaacterstics in CT04 and other valuse applicable.
    First of all, you should go to Transaction CT04 and add this 'blank' value to your related 'account assignment category' release characteristics & Item Category. This addition is done by not entering any particular value into the 'Char. value' column but with related description (you can name it as 'Blank Account Assignment Category'). Then go back to CL20N Transaction where you can manually select it for your respective characteristic value of your release strategy.

  • PR overall release strategy with acc. assignment category characteristics

    Hi,
    Here is my issue : i created an Overall release strategy but the characteristic is on item level. In some precise cases, no release is generated.
    see below more details :
    I have created the following PR release strategy with classification.
    PR type concerned " NB": overall release
    Rlease group concerned : overall release
    In this release group i have 1 class
    in this class i have 2 characteristics : PR type and Account assignement category.
    Release strategy 1 :
    PR type = NB
    Acc. assignment cat = P, W
    Release strategy 2:
    PR type = NB
    Acc. assignment cat = K, V
    TEST 1 : PR type NB, 1 item with P category
    OK the release strategy 1 is generated
    TEST 2 : PR type NB, 1 item with W category
    OK the release strategy 1 is generated
    TEST 3 : PR type NB, 2 items with P category
    OK the release strategy 1 is generated
    TEST 4 : PR type NB, 2 items with P and W category
    TEST KO, no release strategy is generated
    => what should i do to solve this issue ?
    Thank you in advance for your quick answers,
    Isabelle

    What is the specific requirement for Overall release strategy?
    Besides, once you go for Overall release strategy, you cannot have another release strategy at item level.
    Every line item generates a PO, so logically should be set to a release strategy.
    Bottomline is use release strategy at line item level Unless a specific reason exists.

  • Release Strategy Triggered even if the characteric values were not correct.

    Hi,
    I have configured release strategy based on characteristics
    Purchasing group and
    Document type
    It has 2 release indicators with 3 levels of release.
    There are 2 release strategies assigned to same group 01 but have  different release codes namely 01,02,03,04
    Release Strategy A1has
    Doc type NB and Purchasing group 120
    Release Strategy A2 has
    Doc type ZINT and Purchasing groups 130,131,132,134,135,136,137,138,139
    However a strange thing happened.The release strategy was triggered for doc type NB and Purchasing group 190.
    This purchasing group is not listed in either of the 2 strategies 
    Can any one explain why the release strategy got triggered?

    That means the old release strategy is not cleraed from the system
    do one test
    Go to CL30N tocde and enter you release class and class type 032
    hit enter
    now here enter the value of your char which is in the PO and hit Find in initial class from header
    see which release strategy is pulled by the system
    here you will see the release strategy and make sure that is not other than what you expect
