Release strategy for multiple currencies
Hi Experts,
I am new to PO release strategy. Need your advices.
We only have one release class FRG_EKKO in our system. Currently, this release class has the following characteristics:
FRG_EKKO_BSART (for PO doc type)
FRG_EKKO_GFWRT (for currency USD)
1. Is it possible to create another characteristic FRG_EKKO_GFWRT_ID (for currency ID) and assign to the same release class?
2. At PO release strategy, either one of the currency value is leave blank?
Regards,
April
You can create n number of characteristics...but leaving a characteristic value blank willnot enable the release strategy to trigger in PR/PO

Your Release strategy will not work.
In you want to get the release strategy for multiple plant then you have to define another strategy in OMGS u2013 say 01 u2013 07 as Multiple plant and for that strategy in CL24n mating all the characteristics and donu2019t maintain any value for your characteristics plant and then check.

Release strategy for PR with multiple item category
Hello,
I'm trying to create a global release strategy for a PR based on the item category. I have defined a caracteristic with different item categories (A and K).
If I create a PR with item category A, the correct strategy is triggered as well as for an PR with item category K. The problem is when I create a PR with 2 positions, one A and one K, there is no strategy triggered.
How can I change my settings that there is also a strategy triggered in this case ?
Thank you in advance for you help.
Kind regardsHi,
Solution is very small. Please maintain a blank entry too in the characteristics value. It will start working.

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,
2teaPlease 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

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

02 REL_PUR Rel. Strategy for PO
Release codes - New entries
Grp Code

Release indicators
Release indicators Release Description
0 Blocked
1 X Release
Release Strategy
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.

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

Hello Experts
I am using release starategy for contract and using communication structure CEKKO in characteristics. I want to use other parameter such as material master number (MATNR) for characteristics. I see that CEKKO has component .INCLUDE (Communication Structure: PO release for User Exit). Does any one know how to use it in characteristics and if I use it can I design release strategy for particular materials?
Thanks

Release strategy for PO and Contract
Hi,
I maintain characteritic for PO
Plant
Doc Type
Net Order Value
Purchasing Group
I maintain characteristic for contract
Company code
Target Value
Doc Type
Purchasing group
My class consist of
Plant
Doc Type
Net Order Value
Purchasing Group
Company code
Target value
Q1: Do i need to maintain ALL characteristic value when i define my release strategy for PO or Contract as some characteristic only apply to PO only or contract only?
Q2: What option do i have if i need to maintain all characteristic value ? leave it blank ? empty
Currently my PO release is working fine but when i try to maintain the contract release inside the class . my PO release is not triggering . I maintained diffrent release group for both PO and Contract .
Thank for your adviceFirst of all
For purchasing like PO,pr,contract you can able to get in ekko table.No need to maintain separate release unless if it your business requirement.Take Document type as one of the characteristics it will distinguish whether it is PO or contract.
You have to maintain all the characteristic value then only it will trigered release.
Check the release indicator as well.
Hope it will help. -
Release strategy for quantity contract
Hi Gurus,
In quantity contract .. target value will not filled by the value(in header details) as it is quantityt contract.
We may have different line items with different cost..
my doubt is how the release strategy will be triggered for the quanityt contract and how the system will consider the whole value of the contract..
please explain/clarify
regards
subbuHi,
The release strategy for the contract will work in the exact mechanism as for the PO i.e. it will be determined based upon the total net value of the entire purchasing document.
Cheers,

Release Strategy for SA/Contract/PO
Hi friends,
Should we have different release groups and release codes in contracting/ SA/ PO.
Because...
I have maintained 4 characteristics in release strategy for PO _[ Comp Co, plant, porg, total net order value].
But i want to maintan only 2 characteristics in release strategy for contract [plant, total net order value]
because the same is reflecting in contract config also.
Is it possible..please help me frnds.
PrabhuHi Prabhu,
Unfortunately you need to maintain characteristics of all possible values for company code and plant for contractsu2019 to subject the release.
Wish that SAP would be more flexible with release of PO, Contract and RFQ but it does not.

Release strategy for Scheduling Agreement(SA)
Dear Forum,
This issue is with regards to the release strategy for Scheduling Agreement(SA)
Until now release has only been applicable to contracts at our client site. But we now plan to introduce it for SA as well. Such a feature is available in SAP but the problem is that with the given release strategy GR is not allowed until the release is affected. The system allows you to post the delivery schedule.
Now what I want is that after making the SA the system should not allow to make delivery schedule if release is not affected.
We also have MRP run at client site..Kindly suggest the procedure as, how to configure it.Are der any User Exit for the same,if so please discuss..
Warm Regards
Nainesh
SAP ECC 6.0Hi,
What's the SA Type that was created via MRP.
If it's LP (without release document), release will not do anything BUT
If it's LPA (release document), then you will not be able to Post the GR until release is affected.
Thanks.
Scheduling Agreement can be categories as
1) LP (without release document) and
2) LPA (with release document)
If use LP, you can do GR without release but with LPA, you need to release the schedule line via ME38.
Thanks.

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. -
Release strategy for Release POs
Hi Every one,
We have a requirement.
A contract is created and approved as per the regular strategy.
The releases (POs) are created against it and sent directly to the vendor.
As the Contract is already approved, standard SAP does not apply the release strategy for the POs created for the contract.
But the business wants the PO releases too to follow the release strategy.
Can you please look in to this and let me what changes we need to make this happen.
Regards
PavanAs the Contract is already approved, standard SAP does not apply the release strategy for the POs created for the contract
This statement is not correct, it's upto you to use or Not to use Release Process for release Orders (PO) created w.r.to Contract.
As the table & fields are Common for both Contract & PO release ..you need to choose the PO relevant fields & values in the Release Strategy..
So that the Release Process is applicable to PO's created w.r.to Contract also..
For ex: if you use the field purchase Doc category as a Character in the Release , it differentiates whether it is PO or Contract..
So that you can define different Release Strategy for PO & Contract
Or if you maintain the Doc type of PO in the Contract Release Strategy in CL20N / CL24N trxn code..
then the release strategy applies to PO also.. -
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.
S.Raghavanhi sandesh,
sorry, i know it's too late.
i tried your suggestion, it works blocking the purchase order after release strategies are setted.
sandesh, raghavan:
i need to reset the strategies after to make any change in the po. i'll appreciate your help if you can give it.
