Hi,
Is there any release strategy of Customers by single/multiple persons for releasing Sales Orders? If yes give me the detailed configuration.
Regards
Sudhakar Taduvai

Hi;
In std. you do not have release strategy but you can use following option;
Configure two schedule lines like CP- MRP relavant & BN- Not relavant to MRP.
By default BN will appear & as release  user will change the schedule line.
This way you use like release.

  • 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,
    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.

  • 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
    Pavan

    As 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..

  • Release Strategy for Release Order

    Hi,
    We want to give release order (PO in reference to contract) authorization to dept managers.  How do we set up release?  Characteristic Cost center? If yes, do we need to create seperate strategy for each dept or what?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    With reference to option 1 (authorisation), please remember that there's an option to grant auth. for creating contract releases, but not PO's without ontract in ME21(N).
    For this, the functional auth. for buyers is provided in IMG (Purchasing > Authorization Management > Define Function Authorizations for Buyers.
    Select all the flags as required and assign the code (e.g. 01 as in standard) to the involved users using the parameter ID EFB. In this case it is also approriate to disallow the users to change their own parameters.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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 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.

  • What is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document

    Hi,
    Can i know what is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document? Difference between lowest level and Highest level.

    Hi,
    Can i know what is the use of Release Strategy for Sales Document? Difference between lowest level and Highest level.
    Lowest Status No: Sale Document can have several statuses at the same time. However, only one of the statuses may have a status number. If another status with a status number is activated; the old status with status number is deactivated. This is only valid under certain conditions. The system makes a note of the status with the highest status number that has been reached up to the present. The "lowest number" of this status number determines which status number a new status must have.
    Highest Status No: Sales Document can have several statuses at the same time. However, only one of the statuses may have a status number. If another status with a status number is activated, the old status with a status number is deactivated, provided the new status number does not exceed the 'highest number' defined for the old status number

  • Release Strategy for Condition Records

    Hi,
    This is a requirement from my client. The client needs to give 4 levels of release strategy for the condition records created. The selling price for the products will be entered by person 1. This has to be approved by the sales execute (person 2); then by the sales manager (person 3); finally by the General Manager (Person 4). The selling price of the products ranges from 10 lakhs to 40 lakhs. so, the release strategy is needed. This type of release strategy is available in MM for PR and PO. Please let me know whether similar facility is available in SD. Any alternative is also solicited.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your valuable reply.
    I defined 3 Processing status (Menu path: SPRO >> SD >> Basic Fn >> Pricing >> Define Processing status). They are EU-End user, KU-Key user, MD-Final authority. These processing statuses are assigned to Release status. First two processing status EU, KU were assigned to A (Blocked). The third processing status MD was assigned to Blank (Released). The purpose is: at processing status EU one person will upload the price master. Second person will check the price and will change the processing status to KU if he satisfies with the accuracy of the price master. The third person (final authority) will check the price and set the Processing status MD. Once the condition record gets the status MD, the prices can be used for creating sales order because it is released.
    In the condition record for PR00, when I enterthe processing status  EU or KU the release status shows 'Blocked' release statuses. When I enter MD in the processing status, the release status show 'released'.
    My question is how can assign the responsibilities of changing the processing statuses EU to KU, KU to MD to two different persons.
