Release Strategy in purchase order document type
Hi Gurus..
I'm tring to tweak the single RS in the system.
I've set the charcteristic using table CEKKO field BSART, restriction 032, I've set two document types as the Characteristic Value (ZLOG - ZADM). Then I´ve set the class with this characteristic, Created Release Groups & linked to class , Created Release Codes, Release Indicator, and Set up strategies
.. but It doesn´t pick any release strategy.
The funny thing is if I delete the document types values entered in CL20N it works for all doc typs, but if I set the docs types that it should take to pick the RS it doesn't work at all...
Please advice..
I´m not such a abapper but I guess there is not values taken to ekko, does it ring a bell?

Release Strategy in Purchase Order
Hi,
Can any explain the usage of Release Strategy in Purchase Order.
ganeshHi Ganesh,
Release strategy works the same way in purchasing documents (i.e. PR and PO). It is a form of control that company use to control the purchases made.
In your scenario, a PO release strategy is used to control the PO release status for Good Receipt process. Once the PR is released by the relevant releaser, you will see that the PR is now unblocked for issuance of PO.
Once the PO is issued with reference to the PR, it is now blocked again by a release strategy for user to perform Goods Issue. The releaser will evaluate the PO issued and determine if it is necessary to be released for GR / Service Acceptance process. At this stage, the releaser can still reject the PO although issued, and hence GR / Service Acceptance is not able to be performed. Different value will trigger different set of release strategy with different level of approvals, depending on how the PO release strategy is configured by the MM functional consultant. Usually, the PO release strategy has a flatter approving level as compared to PR release strategy, reason being that once the PR has been fully released by all releaser and the PO issued, usually the purchase is deemed necessary and PO releaser would usually consider to release the PO for GR or Service Acceptance process, unless there is discrepancy or sudden change in decision of Management.
Hence, all in all, the PO release strategy act as another form of control to the company to restrict the release of PO for GR or Service Acceptance.
Hope this will give u a better understanding on the function of a PO release strategy.

Authorization based on plant and Purchase order document type
Hi
My client has a requirement wherein a user will have authorization for transactions only in his plant. But only for Purchase order document type UB (Stock Transport Order) the user should be allowed to create for all plants.
In short, if Purchase order document type is UB, should be allowed for all plants
if Purchase order document type is NB, should be allowed to only one particular plant.
My Basis person says that such a restriction is not possible.
Kindly suggest me on how to provide a solution to this.
Thank U.Hi,
This is possible.In this case you need to create two seperate roles.
1)Create purchase order for all plants (This can be used in long text)
2)Create purchase order for <plant no> plants.
For case 1:--
i)Populate field BSART of M_BEST_BSA with UB.
ii)Populate field WERKS of M_BEST_WRK with '*'. SAP reccomends to fill up organizational data through organizational level tab only.So while doing this step you need to put * from organizational level tab only.
For case 2:--
i)Populate field BSART of M_BEST_BSA with NB.
ii)Populate field WERKS of M_BEST_WRK with 'plant no'.
Dont worry about the objects i mentioned those are maintained through SU24 and will be automatically pulled once you insert ME21 transaction code.
Let me know if it helps.
Thanks,

Purchase Order Document Type and Account Assignment
Hi ,
We have a requirement to control Account Assignment in Purchase Order Item line based on the Document type selected on the Purchase Order header.
Like if user selects Purchase Order document type "ZNB" (Customized created) , then he will only able to select "K" or Blank or "P" as account assignment and similary we want to limit other Account assignments based on the Purchase Document type.
How can we make this Control settings?
Regards
ShreyHi,
You can't really limit the account assignment categories per document type, at least not directly.
You can limit the item categories that can be used for a document type via configuration:
Materials Management > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Define Document Types
Within this transaction you can define which item categories are valid for a specific document type.
You can then define which account assignment categories are valid for each item category
Materials Management > Purchasing > Account Assignment > Define Combination of Item Categories/Account Assignment Categories
BUT
limiting the account assignment categories that are valid for an item category will affect ALL purchase order document types that this item category is valid for. And you can't create your own item categories as this is a SAP standard table that can NOT be altered.

You can go to SE16N view table name EKKO
FRGKE Release ind. = B
FRGZU Release status = <blank>
mean, this PO yet to approve/ rejected.
FRGKE Release ind. = R
FRGZU Release status = X
means, this PO has been approved.
Hope this helps -

The FO document type has a Validity Start & End date feature whcih is not in the NB document type(You can get the same in NB also after cusotmization)
Services & limits are also presnet. The FO document type is limited to usage for Iterm categories
Standard

Purchase Order Document Type Defaulting in ME58 while converitn PR to PO
Dear All
While converting Purcahse Requesition to Purchase Order in ME58, System defaults one Purchase order document type . Ofcourse we can overwrite that
But would like to know how this defaulting can be controlled in SAP
Regards
ShyamHi,
If you have maintained an "Order Type" in table T160 (customizing
transaction OMH5) for the entry "ME21", then this value will be
defaulted in the pop-up in transaction ME58. Otherwise, the "Order Type"
of the Requisition will be defaulted.
The following code block of program (Note 125969) is for your reference:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T160 WHERE TCODE EQ SY-TCODE.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0 AND NOT T160-BSART IS INITIAL.
RM06E-BSART = T160-BSART.
ELSE.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM T160 WHERE TCODE EQ 'ME21'.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0 AND NOT T160-BSART IS INITIAL.
RM06E-BSART = T160-BSART.
ELSE.
RM06E-BSART = BAT-BSART.
ENDIF.
ENDIF
According to the code above, the system first checks the table T160 for
ME58, if there is no data then for ME21, if there is no data, then it
defaults from PREQ.This is the same as described in the note 114213.

Output type NEU automaticaly defaulted during purchase order creation with document type ,then just fine tune the output (message) type in following path:
SPRO--->MM->Purchasing>Message>Output control->Message types> Define message type for Purchase Order----->Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order
Now here select the check box corresponding to your output(message) type NEU to have print output automatically displayed & save.
Now try to creating Purchase Order & you will have default message type NEU.

Material Statuses based on the Purchase order Document type
Hi Experts,
We need to maintain the Plant material status based on the purchase order document type.
Example - If I am using NB for normal purchase orders and ZB for STO procurement then, there should be a material status which should give warning message - 'do not use ' for ZB STO purchase orders and it should allow to create NB purchase orders for that same materials.
Please advise what are the possibilities?
Thanks
Regards
MMHi Gurus,
Thank you for your reply, Please find my replies below
@@ - Mallinath - We need this restrictions for some type of materials ( with specific Material types) which should not be procured through inter company STO process, buying plant should use the normal purchase. for other Material types they should be able to use the inter company STO process.
@@ DEV - We are already using the Spl. Procurement keys for inter company STO process.
Example - Material type ZXYX should not use the inter company STO process, but it should be allowed all other processes.
Please advise how we can control this process?
Thanks

Now the message output gets created for my new document type NS but I am unable to display the message.
Notes:

Are there any steps I have missed? Please help to resolve the issue.
Arosh.Goto NACE select application EF Purchase Order then goto condition record NEU select condition record select the last key combination "Purchasing Output Determination: Document Type"
here enter your doc. type execute
