Release Strategy for New Plant

Dear All,
I have a Release strategy in my 3 Plants and it is working fine.
Now I want to add one more plant under the same release strategy.
I tried to add the new Plant in CL24N. System allows me to add the same in this but the RS is not working in this new Plant.
waiting for reply

hi,
you follow the following steps to insert new characteristics value in your release procedure.
1. define the new characteristics value plant4 in your characteristics.
2. assign the same characteristics value plant4 in classification of release strategy.
3. run the release simulation and comes out.
4. now create PO for your requirment and save it.
5. u can use me22n/23n to view your release status of po.
hope it helps....

Release Strategy for New & Change PO's - Using characteristic CEKKO-REVNO

Hi All,
I have the following requirement/scenario
1. If PO is created manually no reference to PR, then the PO needs to be approved through a release strategy.
2. If the PO has been created automatically either from a req or through SRM (for,eg) then the PO needs to be approved only if this PO has been changed. So this would need to go through a second release strategy.
To distinguish between the two, we are using Version number field CEKKO-REVNO in the communication structure CEKKO to be a characteristic in the release strategy.
This is what I hoped for would work after doing the necessary config,
For create PO's, in my classification I have CEKKO-REVNO as >=0. So any PO whose version number is >=0, will trigger relase strategy S1 (for e,g).
For change PO's in my classification I have CEKKO-REVNO > 0 And whenever you change PO, it will generate versions 1,2,3 and so on, and hence the release strategy will trigger.
The problem
Whenever I use CEKKO-REVNO as one of my characteristics, the release strategy is not triggered at all no matter what the conditions are on the PO. When i removed the REVNO from my classification, release strategy is getting triggered as per plan. I have also activated version management and done all the necessary config. I would like to know why release strategy is not getting triggered when REVNO field is used from communication structure CEKKO. Have any of you experienced this issue before??
Is their any other identifier I can use to address the requirement above? Let me know.
Thanks
Ashvin

Thanks Charlie for your response.
The conditions in the PO is not equal.
On one occasion when I create the PO, I have given the classification as REVNO >=0 with a document type ZB for create (S1). So when I create the PO manually, the version starts with 0, so condition should satisfy here
On the other when I change the PO (with/without reference to PR), I have given the classification as REVNO as > 0 with document type ZC (S2), so when the PO is created initially it will not satisfy strategy S1 as doc type is different for S1. When I change the PO created with ref to req, S2 should take into effect because when i change the version will change to 1 and S2 should trigger because REVNO is > 0 and doc type matches.
So I dont know where the release strategy matches in both S1 & S2 for the system to not propose the release startegy.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for your feedback.

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

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.
Prabhu

Hi 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 with New Class and Char.

Dear All,
I have facing problem when creating the new release strategy for different country. i have create new Characteristic and class for new Release streategy.
when i going to add in Release group.. system giving the error.
Diagnosis
Here you can assign release groups to release classes. Only one release class should be used within the release groups for overall release and the release groups without overall release in each case. However, in this instance several release classes have been used.
My existing Characteristic for india :
ZP0_GNETW     Total net order value     CURR     15     2     INR
ZPO_BSART     Order type (Purchasing)     CHAR     4     0
ZPO_EKORG     Purchasing Organization     CHAR     4     0
ZPO_EKGRP     Purchasing group     CHAR     3     0
New Characteristic for South africa :
ZPOSA_BSART     PO Order Type ATSA     CHAR     4     0
ZPOSA_EKGRP     Purchasing Group ATSA     CHAR     3     0
ZPOSA_EKORG     Purchasing Organization ATSA     CHAR     4     0

Removal of plant from P/R release strategy of another plant

Dear Friends,
In our office there are two plants P068 & P281 both belongs to two separate co codes. In its P/r release strategy in characteristics plants are mentioned so for each plant their should be separate p/r as they are located differently. But unfortunately plant P281 is added in the release strategy of plant P068 though there is a separate release strategy configured for plant P281. So while making P/r of plant P281 release strategy of plant P068 is getting called & the user is not able to release the same because of the restricted authorizations. We have tried to remove the plant P281for which we created the request on DEV server & transported to PRD server but this is not removed. It is still reflecting in P068 P/r release strategy. Kindly advise how we can remove this ? Is their any other alternative way?
Rgds
Prashant B

You need to remove the plant from classification of release strategy. If system is modifiable, go into release strategy and classification and uncheck the plant, which is not required and save.
OR
If backend is unmodifiable, use this t-code CL20n/CL24n, put in the release code strategy combination and in the classification remove the plant of it and then save and your problem will be solved.
Follow the above steps for adding the plant to new release strategy as well.

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 advice

First 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.

In PO scenario is like this, we have 4 purchacing groups and 4 document types(ZLOC,ZIMP,ZSER,NB) in release strategy, we need to add one more purchasing group that is to be aplicable to my service PO(ZSER) only . so should I need to creat another stretegy for the same, or I can add in the same strategy

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.

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.

Release strategy for Future validity period- (Outline agreements)

Dear All,
I want to create release strategy for Scheduling agreement.But I am creating the SA for furure validity period.In this case how the release strategy will triger.
E.g Today 09.03.09 I create a Sceduling agreement and the validity period I maintain is from 01.06.09 to 31.12.09 and Amount say 100 Rs.
I am using Characteristics Doct type and Amount.. The system checks the rate as on date (i.e on 09.03.09) and since it doesnt find any value the Release strategy is not trigeering.
How to set up release strategy in the above case.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Amar

Hi Amar,
1) if you maintain a target value (EKKO-KTWRT) in the header of the
contract this value is the basis for the determination of the release
strategy. If the target value is 0, the system will cumulate the
values of the items and will use this value for the determination.
2) So if the target value is 0 and you change the price of a condition
with a validity period in the future the system will react in the
following way:
Example:
   the contract contains one item with quantity = 100 and a net price
of EUR 5,-.
   all contracts with a target value from EUR 0 - 1.000,- should be
subject of a release strategy
   the contract is created and released on October the 1st
   ME32K -> October the 2nd you define a new price of EUR 7,- with a
validity period from 03.10.09 - 30-10.09 -> you save the contract
-> the release strategy is not reset, as the start date is not
reached yet (system date < startdate of validity period)
   ME32K October the 3rd you change a field in the contract -> the
release strategy is reset
This is system design that a release strategy can only be reset through
an action by the user. The determination of the release strategy can't
be triggered automatically in the background.
If you create a document which is subject of an overall release strategy
(e.g. p.o., contract) the determination of the release strategy takes
place when the user hits the 'save' button or chooses the 'check'
function.
So there must be a kind of event that tells the system that something
has changed.

Hi!
You may use your existing release strategy or create a new one (depending on your requirement). You just have to add/ use the document type you used for your auto-generated POs.
