Release strategy behavior for purchase documents

Hi all,
I'm working at a company that recentily has implanted SAP. We noticed last week that the approved documents, like PR, PO, RFQ etc.. can be modified by the users and that documents doesn't modify its approval status, I mean, they remains approved.
I'd like to know if is there any standard way to configure the SAP to not allow any modification in an approved document, or if an approved document has been modified, it resets its approval status to pending approval again.
Thanks in advanced,
Rodrigo

For this, Use OLME -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Release Procedure for Purchase Order --> Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders -> Release Indicator chose the last level for Changeability as "1 Cannot be changed"

  • Release Strategy Processor Names under Release Strategy tab for a PReq

    Hello Experts,
    We have situation in Release Strategy for Purchase Requsitions in which we need to display all approvers names under the Release strategy tab for a Purchase Requisition.
    Senerio work as follows.
    Based on the Release strategy customization settings,Purchase Requisition subjected to release strategy selects the approver names from a custom table.
    In the Custom table we have names of the approvers with release codes.
    Purchase Requisition displaying the names of the approvers according to alphabetical order.Hence it displays First one user or approver name under the release strategy according to the approver alphabetical order from the custom table.
    Can we display name of all approvers in one line according to initial investigation there is room for 40 characters under the release strategy tab.
    Let me know if any Standarad OSS notes available for this.
    Amogh

    Hi amogh if you configure with workflow the strategy and the name of the persons are in transaction SU01, you don´t need to put nothing. The release strategy shows the names of the persons that release the document, but if you change one person in the release strategy, the system don´t save history for this, all old documents that have been released for this person, release strategy is blank. You have to do a non standard report that shows what person releases what document.
    I hope that this information help you

  • Release strategy:ME53N : Older PR documents shows, modified PR rel.strategy

    Hi Friends
    We have updated the sequence of release codes for certain PR release strategies. But when we moved the changes production, i observe that all the older PR documents (Which were released last year and completed) also shows the updated release strategy in transaction ME52N/ME53N.
    Can someone pls some explain? Is this normal?
    SAP doesnt store the release strategy and its sequence of release codes, which were determined at the time of document creation?
    Thanks for your help...Raj

    Hi,
    There is no change in the older documents.
    The documents are older by few years.
    I have checked few documents randomly, the tcode ME53N shows only the updated release strategy.
    I did some investigation today on this.
    i think system will not keep the release strategy pertaining to document creation.
    It will just store Release Group and Release strategy in the Purchase Requisition tables (like EBAN).
    And when ever we try to display the document it will go and read the release strategy sequence from relevant tables.
    Hope someone helps to validate if my investigation is correct.
    Good day..

  • Error "Account assignment 00 for  purchase document does not exist " when u

    Hai,
    I am encountering the following problem when posting a PO based Invoice using BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE.
    The error says " account assignment 00 for purchasing document does not exist".
    The scenario is very simple.  I need to raise an Invoice against a PO. the PO has a single line item of quantity 10 net price 10.  Tax code is U2 ( 7% tax).
    I am passing the following at header level.
    Invoice_indicator ( as 'X'),company code,doc date , posting date, gross amount (107, currency USD, calc tax indicator as 'X'.
    At line item i am passing Invoice document item 000001, po number , po item number, tax code(U2) item amount (100),
    Does this error has got any thing to relate configuration matters?
    Regards,
    Upender

    Hi Upender,
    In some cases, depending on the type of PO / Posting,
    you might have to populate the accounting data itab and pass in the BAPI parameter.
    you can select the accounting data from EKKN for the PO.
    Again it depends on the PO category, wether you need to populate Qty & Unit in accounting data.
    Further, the accounting data should be exactly the same as there in EKKN ( all the fields except Qty & Unit ).
    Thanks,
    Ram

  • MRRL- Item 00002 for purchasing document not selectable

    I have a PO which was created with ERS flag on, when we did GR we realized this should not be ERS activated PO. So we reverse the GR  and unchecked the Inv. receiptm GR based IV and ERS flag on the PO but now this PO is keep showing up in MRRL with a message "Item 00002 for purchasing document not selectable". How do i get rid off this PO from MRRL report.
    Please help!

    When an item is marked as ERS and a GR is done an entry is put in the EKRS table.   My guess is that you did not do a settlement after you did the reversal so the EKRS table still has the original GR and the reversal which is why it is showing up when you execute MRRL.    If you don't want that showing up when you execute MRRL I would add the ERS flag back long enough to do a settlement.   The settlement will create a zero value MM invoice and clear out those two entries in the EKRS table.

  • Release Strategy/Workflow for MB21 Reservation

    Hello Gurus,
    I know as per Standard SAP it is not possible to have a release strategy/workflow for MB21, but if any of you have come across this requirement where material reservation should be approved by related dept heads before the material is issued for those reservations, please reply back with the possible options to configure release strategy or work flow for MB21 even thru development or any other work around.
    Your expertise advises will be very helpful for me to work around this requiremnt.
    Thanks in advance, looking forward for your reply

    Hi Anoop,
    Reservations in SAP is just a logical value, which does not have any impact on any stock type. It would be interesting to know why the business needs approval process for reservations.
    Anyways even if you need approval process, what you have to do is develop a custom object, where in when ever the business creates a MB21 reservation, assign a unique number to each reservation number.
    As a dept head, the business will run the ZMB21, checks the reservation to which he needs to approve. In the back groud call up the unqiue id assigned and place approve button where in dept head can approve the same.
    The authorization to this custom tcode should be given as per your requirement.
    Hope this helps

  • Storing Attachments for Purchasing Documents

    Standard SAP functionality for purchasing document attachments stores the files on the SAP Database (for both SRM and ECC).
    /cisap/edoc/<SYSID>/<filename>
    SAP does not appear to provide a straight forward way to configure a different storage location on a file server. Post go live, and before space runs out in the database, a new approach will have to be implemented for the physical storage location of purchasing document attachments.
    MY Client would prefer to store these attachments on a file server.
    Please suggest me how to do it,
    Thanks & Regards

  • Release strategy & EBAN for project systems, purchasing

    Hi
    We have 2 different scenarios for which we use same account assignment category "Z".
    1) Purchase Requisitions for capital expenses (Account assignment category "Z") - this is part of project systems requisition attached to WBS elements
    2) Purchase Requisitions for expensed items (Account assignment category "Z")
    I have configured release strategy with classification with following characteristics
    1) plant
    2) cost centers
    3) total amount in PR
    4) account assignment category
    all 4 characteristics are same in both areas (capital and expensed)of purchase requisitions, account assignment category Z decides whether it is capital purchase or expense related purchases. Z uses order number that is internally tied to WBS element.
    my question is - if some one has similar scenario then what is the best solution to handle invocation of release strategy.
    how release strategy can be determine, do I need to use user exit and if yes what best user exit is available.
    EBAN fields, I have researched and I cant use fields like "requisitioner" for determining release strategy.
    I would like to invoke different release strategy for capital projects and different release strategy for expensed items in PR. there is a workflow attached to this later.
    Please reply
    Thanks and regards
    Umesh

    Umesh,
    Well, there needs to be some way to differentiate the 2 types of purchase requisitions for you to use 2 different release strategies.
    I am not sure if you have the option of using a different document type to differentiate the 2 requisitions. I would definitely look at this possibility and include the document type (CEBAN-BSART) as a characteristic in the release strategy.
    Other options would be to look at using the purchasing group (CEBAN-EKGRP) or the requirements tracking number (CEBAN-BEDNR) as characteristics in your release strategy.
    Hope this helps.

  • Release strategy reversal for the purchase requisition.

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario were we have three release levels to release the PR through ME54N tcode.
    After all the levels are released,If at the first level the PR release is cancelled all other levels are automatically cancelled.
    Now my concern is until the 3rd release cancellation is done, 2nd and 1st level should not be allowed to cancel the release of PR. and until 3rd & 2nd release cancelltion is done, 1st level should not be allowed to cancell the release of PR.
    Please Let me know if any BADI or any enhancement is available to acheive this back release strategy for PR.
