Release strategy for PR and PO

I have release strategy for PR and PO, suppose there is 3 levels of Release, at second level I want to set an alternative Release code,  if either of the employee releases then it should go to third release.
How to configure for PO (with classifications) and PR (without classifications). 
I am not using workflow than how to do it ???

follow the steps below.
Release prerequisites should not be checked
Release statuses do the following settings for alternate release
based on your requirement
you can make the release or blocked status manually in release config
than it will work.
without classification it will not work

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Release strategy for PO and Service Entry Sheet

    Hi
    I maintain characteristics- Plant, Doc Type , Order Value & Purchasing Group for PO release strategy.
    should I maintain the same characteristics for service entry sheet ?
    the approval will be the same for both

    Hi,
    The Po reselase strategy can be set up separately from the entry sheet release strategy, so you can use even different characteristics for your entry sheet release strategy. These are not connected!
    Please read note 672719 question 5 - How can I set up a release procedure for service entry sheets?
    Note: The release strategy must be based on the structure CESSR.
    The PO release strategy is based on the structure CEKKO.
    For the SEs release strategy you must create a different class.

  • 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
    subbu

    Hi,
    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.

  • 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.
    Regards

  • 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

    Hi,
    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.

  • 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,
    2tea

    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
    02 01
    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.

  • 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.
