Release strategy complex customer specific checks

Hi MM guys,
does anybody knows whether there are UserExits for the release strategy functionality in 46C? We´re already using this strategy functionality via classification. But now we´ve got further request concerning the checks which have to be processed to determine wether a PO will be released or locked. These checks cannot be implemented over the classification system cause they´re more complex.
Thx, for any tips.
Andy

Hi,
The Enhancement for this purpose is M06E0004 and the user exit is EXIT_SAPLEBND_002.
You can use this user exit to pass values in user defined fields (e.g. USRC1, USRC2 etc) in structure CEKKO. If the user fields given in the structure not enough then this structure can be expanded and new fields can be added.
While using this user exit, please keep in mind that the user exit gets called while you start the transaction (e.g. ME29N) and you check or save the document. So when you want to pass values, you will do so only at the time of saving the document.
Regards.

Archiving of Delivery documents -Customer specific check

Dear All,
While we are trying to create a routine for customer specific check in archiving delivery docs, we encounter the following error.
<h3>In the program SDCLVOFM, for Class RELK related to deliveries, we are trying to copy the standard routine 001 (SD_LIKP_SAP_1) for carrying out the necessary changes.</h3>
However the system does not allow us to copy due to the fact that the routine does not have any CODE whithin the routine. This is really strange, being a standard SAP object.
Also we cross verified this witht he report SDINVOFM for the same class and the standard routine 001. By doing so we found that he ABAP code is missing for this routine.
Request your inputs for activating this Routine and inputing the required code / copy the routine.

Incorporate PO Release Strategy in custom workflow

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to incorporate the PO Release Strategy into a custom process followed by the client. The client has a unique Approval Form which needs to be approved as per the PO Release Strategy before creating the PO. How do I go ahead with this requirement. I need to know it's possibilities using Custom Workflows / BAPI's / etc.
I tried finding data to link the amount --> release codes --> designations --> sap userid's, to replicate the scenario, but in vain.
Kindly help with hints asap.

The required things are:
1. Create a BO
2. The key fields should match the key fields of your custom application header table fields.
3. Build a WF for the approval process
4. Trigger the WF from your custom application using the FM SAP_WAPI*.

How to approve or release a Custom workflow release strategy using a prog.

Hi There,
I am working with a custom transaction with release strategy using custom workflow. I am done with the module pool and workflow templates. And also I can able to start workflow using the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
My actual Issue is I have set of buttons in the module pool screen with names Approve (1 to 5) and Reject (1 to 5). When I press the "Approve 1" release strategy of the first person need to approved. Is there any Function Module or Classes for approving the workflow release strategy using buttons in screen.
Thanks in advance,
Viruman

Hi
Make use of the function module SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE. To this function moduel pass the workitem ID and pass decision parameter value as 0001 for approve and 0002 for rejection action. You can check in this forum with this function module you will find lot of threads.
If its not a decision step then you can make use of SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM or SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.
Regards

PO release strategy problem

Hello Friends
Who can help me?
I created one PO, then check in ME23, and found release strategy for this PO is 'VS', but when I check PO release strategy in customizing, it's not defined for PO release strategy. So, how strategy 'VS' is assigned to PO during order creation?
This order can't be released in ME28

Check below link ;

Release procedure

Release Strategy - Purchase requistion go back to unreleased

Hi Friends,
I am facing two problem in release strategy in our client system.
Problem. 1:- Purchase Requisition changes( Other then the characteristics maintained) causing PReq go back to Unreleased.
Current System Settings;-
Release Procedure:- Procedure with classification ( Also setting available for setup procedure without classification maintained )
Characteristic maintained in class :- ( Plant, Value , Creation Indicator)
Value maintained in CL24N for plant , Creation indicator.
Release Indicator:- 1 Stage:- X. Blocked
2 Nd Stage:- 4.RFQ/PO no changes
Scenario :- When PR is created and released , If any one changes the Purchase Group in any line item which is not part of the release Strategy. Release strategy gets retriggered and the relase staus goes Blank for some case and for some case release strategy retrigger. My Question is if Purchase Group is not part of my release Characteristic then why release strategy gets retriggerd.( I used only purchase group here for Example, Any other changes also effect the release strategy to retrigger)
I checked all the system setting and it seems to be correct except when i use transaction OMGQCK to check PR release strategies, the log shows 3 errors of type:
Checks re requisns. with item-wise release 3
-> Checks re release group and release class 2
-> No release group exists 1
Problem. 2:- Purchase Requisition not triggering when PR is created from other source linked to SAP.
Please suggest the solution for the above problem.

Hello Kunal,
A few thoughts and questions on your problem:
You generally can't have both release procedure without classification and release procedure with classification working at the same time.
To get the system with classification working, you have to have several things in place and consistent: You need a release group. It should have a class. That class should have all the characteristics you need to assign a strategy to every requisition (or item, if you're doing item-based release). You should use CL20N (or CL24N) assign values to strategies so that you have no possible cases where a requisition (or item) doesn't get assigned to a strategy.
You have to choose item-based or overall release for each requisition document type. You mark this on the document type. You must also choose the same option for the release groups that the document type will be assigned to. Example: document type NB is item-based. Document type ZB is overall. Document type will be a characteristic. CL20N will assign requisitions with document type NB to strategies in release group NN and requisitions with document type ZB to strategies in release group ZZ. Release group NN will be marked as item-based. Release group ZB will be marked as overall-based. Usually, I think, you will just use one or the other, and it will be less complicated, but the release group must match the document type.
The indicators themselves have some configuration, including a field for changeability. Your configuration defines the indicator assigned after a release, and that changeability field will determine whether the requisition can be changed and whether that determines a new release.
As Prasoon mentioned, if there's an enhancement active, that could affect things beyond configuration.
If you are using workflow, there might be custom events related to the business objects involved that can change things, as well.
Are you using workflow?
Are you using overall or item-based release?
Good luck,
- Jeff

Purchase requisition not subject to a release strategy

Hi All,
When I will release PR, appears Error: "Purchase requisition not subject to a release strategy". I've check the configuration, but it was appropriate. Can anyone help me to find the solution?
Regards,
MamaRara

hi
In our case also we have faced this problem
Usually when you are executing ME54N the system displays the latest viewed / modified PR.
Hope in your case the latest PR viewd / modified is not subjected to release. Hence it is showing the message
Go to ME22N open your PR - Press save button. Then try to open the same in ME54N.
Hope this will help you

Can a release strategy be based on a formula?

Hi,
A retail client i'm working on wants the release strategy PO to be based on a formula, i.e. the release strategy should have OTB check.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
Thanks, I didn't know what OTB means.
I do not know how this OTB is maintained in the system (is it development?) but I assume it should be stored in a data table (data tables). If it is so, I think you should be able to extract it (this data) via the ABAP code in the mentioned user exit - but this is just my opinion, it's better you ask your ABAPer to check it in a sandbox system.

Csaba

Purchase Requisition Release Strategy help

SAP Gurus,
I have set up PR release strategies for item level and it is not working. Our setup is as follows:
Document type NB with "Overall release of purchase requisitions" unchecked
3 characteristics defined: one for Line item total, cost center, and an account assignment category.
1 class with all three characteristics assigned
1 Release group with "Overall release of purchase requisitions" unchecked
104 different release codes
127 different release strategies with varying combinations of cost centers and dollar amounts.
Executed cl24n with all release strategies.
Now when i enter a PR with amounts and cost centers that should trigger the release strategy, it is not triggering.
I executed CL30N with different parameters and none of them register.
The only clue i have as to what could be wrong is when running OMGQCK, it lists that the release group does not exist, but it does. Message 620401/2006 references note 365604 lists the problem i am experiencing, but none of the suggested steps have corrected the problem.
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has on what i can try to get this release strategy working
Thanks,
Rachel

hi,
Check your release codes and its assignments in the release strategy..
Also do check whether the PR is liable to trigger for the given characteristics as compared to your PR which you are making...

Release strategy not working

Hi All,
I am working on a release procedure.All the release procedure configurations have been done for PO release .I have modified the user exit that determines the approvers which is a part of role 2000027 and I am using the standard WF 20000075 itself.
But after that when I creating a PO it is not triggering the WF.
When I am test the WF in SWUS by giving PO number and release code,its working fine.
But when I am Creating PO from ME21N workitem is not going to the user.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this.
Thanks
Raju

Does the PO have any Release Strategy tab in the Header of the PO. If not then your Release strategy is not configured in SPRO. Search this forum for configuration
2)If the PO has Release Strategy tab then please check in SWE2 whether the Linkage between the event and Workflow is activated. If not activate it. Also please check entries in SWEL Transaction code.
Thanks
Arghadip

Workflow for release strategy

Dear All,
PLz let us know the step by step procedure for worflow for release strategy.
Regards,
Arati.

Hello Arati,
Please see that you have maintained the release strategy and the same is getting affected in the PO.
In PO -> Header Data -> Release Strategy (Last Tab) please check the Release Strategy and Release Grp.
Now go to T - Code /nPFAC .. and enter the ID as 90100005 (PO Approver) and click on display.
After this on the new screen there are different tabs.. in that click on last (fourth) tab: Responsibilities.
There you will find responsibilities IDs assigned to each release strategy and Release grp.. of you cant see the same please adjust the layout.
once you get the responsisbilities ID there for the referenced Release Strategy and Release Grp then go to T - Code /nPP01.
There you need to do the maping. in the first field it please enter Responsibility and second tab you can put the same responsibility ID whihc u obtained from /nPFAC.
Then select on applications and then click on new.. n there you can assign the user as a approver. Please check that proper authorization si also given to a user who is mapped for the release strategy...
Let me know if any confusion ...
Thanks And Regards,
Krupesh Kothari.

Clear release strategy

We have implemented a workflow solution for approving purchase requisitions. When a user changes a partially approved req, we want the the current workflow to be cancelled and a new one started with a new cleared release strategy.
I think I can use the ME_UPDATE_REQUISITION_RELEASE to update eban-frgzu to null, which will reset the release strategy. However, all of the user exits that I've found up to this point get overwritten.
My questions:
Is there a good place to add this function? EXIT_SAPLEBND_004 seems like the place but the frgzu field get's overwritten later in the process.
Is there an easier way of resetting the release strategy?
Thanks
Travis
