Release strategy for Maintenance work order

Hi experts,
Can anybody tell me, how could i maintain release as mandatory before work order save?
Regards,
sumair

Actually, my requirement is that I don't want to create maintenance order (Specially incase of maintenance plan scheduling) when material is not available/short. I have done all the settings in configuration as well as assigned checking group in material master for availability check at both / individual options of order creation (save) and release. Only the release check is functioning perfectly. So, I am going to resolve this problem by setting "release is mandatory before save."
Do you have any solution to resolve this query?
Regards
Sumair

  • User exit for Release Strategy in PM Work Order

    Dear all,
    Please help me with the following issue:
    My client want to change the approval route of the release strategy of the Work Order. The release is based on the PM Activity Type. Now, I am brand new on the project, I have no documentation and I have no access to CMOD so I don't know where to find the cusomised release strategy for change it.
    Please, can you advise on this?
    Thank you very much.
    Sorin

    Dear,
    to have release strategy based on "PM ACTIVITY TYPE", i suggest you two ways
    Option-1:
    1) Have permit system with classification as per the approval hierarchy.Create permits as per approval levels.
    2) Once maintenance order is created, system will assign the permits to that maintenance order at the time of saving.
    3) Now approvers will approve the permit with respect to Maintenance order PM activity type.
    Note: If your client wants to have mailing functionality to their out look or other mails, put logic in save exit after assignment of permits to maintenance order, with the help of ABAPER and also the sequence of approving the permits.
    Option-2:
    1) Create user status profile as per approval hierarchy with number assignment.
    2) Create "Authorization code" for the user status number.
    3) Provide "Authorization code" to the SAP user ids as per approval hierarchy.
    or
    If you have only one app rover, provide authorization of creating order to one user  and "Releasing" the order to other user.

  • Intercompny billing for maintenance work orders

    All,
    I have two scenarios dealing with intercompany activities for maintenance work orders. The first scenario involves a maintenance work order in Company B doing work on equipment also in Company B. The work order requires labor services and material from Company A. What is the most efficient way to consume the labor and material into the Company B work order? My client requires intercompany billing anytime labor services and/or material crosses into another company. So for this scenario, should I execute a cross-company labor confirmation and material consumption and then, create intercompany invoicing from this activity? Or, should Company B provide a purchase order to Company A for the labor and material and then, Company A executes intercompany billing to facilitate the correct intercompany financial postings?
    The second scenario requires a maintenance work order settlement from Company A to Company B. How should the intercompany billing be done for this? Should I settle to the cost object in company B and then do the intercompany billing? Or, should I settle to a sales document (i.e., debit memo) and then execute the intercompany billing?
    Pleases advise.
    Thanks!

    Alex,
      You should be able to use the List edit transaction iw38 to select and print Multiple Orders simultaneosuly. Once you have selected the orders in the Output screen, use the menu path ORDER > PRINT ORDER.

  • Release strategy for maintenance order

    Hi experts,
    Can we have release strategy of maintenance order based on the components cost in the miantenance order

    hi
    i think you cannot achevie this with Standard SAP, you can make use of customer exit to enhance the releasing of order,other way is by indirectly ,ie create permits with classification as Planned cost specify the amount which will reject the relase of order saying permits are to be issued,and also you can assign the roles for the user for displaying the permits ,forbidding the issue of permits

  • Release Strategy for Asset Purchase order

    Hi,
    I have the following client Requirement.
    1. PO document type will be anything but Po created is for Asset
    2. In such case, Release strategy should be approved only be certain groups only. Anyway the Account assignment category will be "A"
    As we cannot control the PO Release by Account Assignment category, it has to be controlled via User Exit.
    I.e., combination of Acc Assignment category and Purchasing Group should result in a particular strategy.
    Can you suggest relevant user exit? This is importantly needed. Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please do the following changes,same is tested by me in Our dev server and works successfully in PO.
    Go to Se11 ,open structures -CEKKO (You will find KNTTP-account assignment field is missing)
    Click on append structures ,system will ask you object name ,give as anything,then put a description /
    Then system will ask you to add new field in CEKKO structures.
    Add field KNTTP and save ,system will generate request for the same.
    Now create a characteristic as CEKKO_KNTTP and save ,don't give table name here
    Once saved,re-open the CEKKO_KNTTP ,here you need to give table name as CEKKO and field name-KNTTP. Define values an save.
    then add the same in class ,and then select the required assignment in CL20N ,save.
    And check the PO effects,it will works.

  • Release strategy for PREQs created from PM work order

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with determining  release strategy for purchase requisition for external services created via PM work order (iw31 transaction).
    We have activated release strategy for Purchase requisition based on the following characteristics:
    CEBAN_PLANT
    CEBAN_COST_CENTER_GROUP
    CEBAN_MANUAL
    Characteristic CEBAN_COST_CENTER_GROUP is defined via user exit based on the cost center used in the PREQ and a z table which contains all cost centers mapped to the corresponding  cost center goups.
    In the user exit we have consider to cases:
    The first one is when a purchase requisition is created with account assignment K (cost center) then system is checking the z table and determines the right cost center group.
    The second case is when a purchase requisition is created with account assignment F (internal order) then based on the order type and number the cost center in the order is defined and based on it the corresponding entry in the z table cost center group is assigned.
    The third case is when purchase requisition for services is created automatically from PM work order. In this case the PREQ is again with account assignment F, but at the time when user exit is checking the input parameters the real number of the work order does not exist and system can not defined the other parameters.
    We have defined  for this requisitions in the release strategy for characteristic CEBAN_MANUAL creation indicator " F".
    Has anybody of you defined release strategy for PREQs created out of work order before. How did you manage to trigger the release strategy?
    Best Regards,
    Desislava

    Hi,
    For PM order find the costcenter in the settlement rule of the order or else find the costcenter in the Location tab of the order.
    Consider this filed from order & write in the Z program to pick up the costcenter from there to find out the cost center group.

  • Purchase Order not subject to release strategy for contract rel. strategy

    Hello, I am trying to set release strategy for contracts (TCODE: ME31K). I have created characteristic, which use table CEKKO and field name BSTYP in Addnl data tab. I have checked values, and they are correct. Then I have assigned in release strategies in classification view value contract. But when I try to check release strategy in ME31K with green flag, it display error: Purchase Order not subject to release strategy. (I have tried to do the same strategy in purchase order, of course with value Purchase order, and it works nice).
    So I have checked this release strategy with this codes:
    CL24N ok,
    CT04 ok,
    CL30N ok,
    CL20N ok,
    Release simulation in release strategy works,
    Then I found out that I should check SE38, SE37 but I do not understand how to use them (according: Purchasing Document Not Subject to Release Strategy).
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    I haven't said to use EKPO table in characteristics. You have to use CEKKO - BSTYP in characteristics.
    I've just said the compare the value which you have given in Release strategy - Classification and EKPO table for the particular contract.
    Also compare your release strategy settings with many existing documents in SCN.
    Check your Classification should be like that.
    You may see the error message in ME31K. Just save the contract then go to ME32K/ME33K or ME35K you can see the release strategy will effect for the contract.

  • Purchase and release order not allowed for TECO work orders

    Hi
    We are typically setting maintenance work orders to TECO once the physical work as been performed as that sets the reference date for showing the history of when the maintenance was performed, and when the maintenance call was completed. However, we have invoices that may come in significantly later than when the  physical work was performed.
    Once the order is in TECO a purchase or release order (for services against a contract) cannot be created for the work order. Additionally it appears that even if we have a release order,or purchase order, if it is not for the exact amount of the invoice the release or purchase order cannot be ammended - we get the sameerror mssage (BS007) as when creating a new purchase order for the TECO order.
    I had wondered about using BS22 to change TECO to continue to allow purchase  and release orders when the order is in TECO status.
    Any input on pros/cons or other approachs appreciated.
    Philip

    Thanks
    That was what I initially thought. However I was informed that if the invoice is not for the originally determined amount that to post the invoice means having to change the PO, and changing the PO appears to hit the same business transaction as creating a PO, and so we get the error mssage.
    The issue is that we may know we need to have services estimated at, say, $5.000. But we do not know what the actual final invoice will be. So the actual amount may end up being $4,500 or $5,500 as an example, and it may come ni late from the vendor. The Purchse Order side is not my expertize, but I am being informed that the invoice must match the PO amount, otherwise the PO must be ammended to match. As the order is in TECO, the user cannot amend the PO.
    I would be happy to know of other options, or at least good questions to ask. I want the end user to be able to post the invoice against the PO, after the order is in TECO, even it the invoice amount is not exactly the same as what was originally anticipated.
    regards
    Philip

  • Reset Release Strategy for any change in the Purchase Order

    Hi,
    Is it possible in SAP standards to reset release strategy for even minor changes in the Purchase Order irrespective of whether it is value change or any change in the text or Purchasing group change or whatever it is?
    If so, where do we need to make the configurations.
    I have seen in some thread about resetting the release strategy for decrease in Purchase Order value.Even that was possible through some BAPI.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • MM:Release Strategy for Release Order again Approved Contract

    Hi,
    Release strategy for Release Order is required or not against approved contrat??
    As fas as I know once the contract is approved, release order is not required to approve again.
    This is the standard setting from SAP or We need to do some setting for this??
    In my support project I have studied the release procedure and found that, same release strategy and release Group has been used for Purchase Order and Contract.
    Please let me know if anyone have faced this rquirement  or I have to go for Z development for this requirement.
    Thanks you.

    Hi Lalita,
    Thank you for your quick suggestion.
    yes definitely the release stratergy and release group should be set up separately but here both are same
    that is the reason this is  picking of the same release procedure again evenif the contract is approved.
    we have following release characterstic for the release procedure.
    1) Purchasing Group
    2)Total Net Order Value
    3)Order Type
    4)Purchase Organisation
    5)Material Group.
    I think for the above characterstic we must a separater value for PO and Contract but Currently all are merge
    in this only
    But Can you tell me "Release Order should be subjected to release procedure" this is correct or not .
    If yes then what is the base for this, I mean is it working on the concept that " If do relevent
    release characterstic value is found then no release procedure and this is treated as autorelease in sap"
    Thanks you.

  • How to setup a release strategy for store generated purchase order

    Hi there,
    Does anybody know how to setup a release strategy for store/plant generated purchase order? I have a request from our client, but I never cross this before. Please help and let me know the step with every single detail.
    Greatly thank for your help.
    Kind Regards,

    Please go thru the below Release Procedure and check whether you have maintained all the settings properly.
    PO RELEASE STRATEGY
    The release code is a two-character ID allowing a person to release (clear, or approve) a requisition or an external purchasing document. The release codes is basically controlled via a system of authorizations (authorization object M_EINK_FRG).
    Use SE12, structure CEKKO to check all the fields available for controlling the Purchase Order.
    e.g. If the total value for the Purchase Order exceeds 10,000, release strategy 01 is assigned to the Purchase Order. There is only one characteristic created in this example. For controlling the Purchase Order type, create characteristic for CEKKO-BSTYP and the value NB.
    CT04 - Create Characteristic e.g. NETVALUE
    Click Additional data Table name CEKKO Field name GNETW and press enter
    (for currency dependent field, you are prompt to enter the currency which the system then converts the currency of the Purchasing document into this currency)
    In the Basic data (X refers to tick),
    X Mutliple values
    X Interval values
    In the Value data, in the Char. value column, type >10000 and press enter
    Save your data
    CL02 - Class
    Class - Create REL_PUR
    Class type - 032
    Click Create
    Description - Release Procedure for Purchase Order
    In the Same Classification section, click Check with error
    In the Char. (characteristic) tab, type NETVALUE to assign your characteristics to the class
    OMGS - Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order Type
    Release Group - New entries
    Rel.group Rel. Object Class Description
    02 REL_PUR Rel. Strategy for PO
    Release codes - New entries
    Grp Code

    Release group 02
    Rel.strategy 01
    Release codes 01
    Release status 01
    Classification Choose your check values
    OMGSCK - Check Release Strategies
    (make sure there are no error messages)
    Once the Purchase Order is not release, buyers will not be able to print the Purchase Order.
    Goods Receipts will be shown with Message no. ME 390 - Purchasing document XXXXXXX not yet released.
    In 4.6c, Purchase Order with Release Strategy have a tabs at the end of the Header. This allowed the buyers to check the release status of the Purchase Order.
    The person with the release authorization have to use ME28 to release the Purchase Order.
