Release Strategy Inconsistent
Hello Experts,
We have a release procedures configured and due to
some changes I have deleted one of the release procedure
in the system and transported to other clients. This
deletion has caused inconsistency in the system and
every time the deleted release procedure gets applied
with "Release strategy inconsistent" and system does
not show any release code or desription or status...
How do we handle this situation..I am sure some of you
might have gone thr this experience.
Your immediate help in this regards will be highly
appreciated.
Ehtesham R.Quraishi
How many change requests you have created for the release strategy deletion.
If more than one, please check the seqence of transport.
Transport the requests in sequence and then check.

ERROR MSG: INCONSISTENT CHARACTERISTIC VALUE ASSIGNMENT
DETAILS :
You want to change the value assigned to a characteristic. However, the change causes inconsistency, so the new value is not allowed.
The inconsistency may be for the following reasons:
A precondition or selection condition is violated.
The characteristic is a single-value characteristic, and different values have been set by constraints, actions, or procedures.
In classification, inconsistencies occur when you change the value set of a characteristic if objects or classes have already been classified with values from the previous value set.
Procedure
Choose Inconsistencies to see what triggered the inconsistency. You can also use the explanation facility for more information.
Delete the values that triggered the inconsistency.
You can only change or delete a value or value set that has already been used to classify objects if you delete the existing allocations.
PH A3 Release Strategy 3 -
> SAME AS ABOVE
regards,
ajayHi,
Inconsistency due to different "VALUE" in the Release Strategy & "VALUE" present in the Release Characteristics . Check details with value assignment with designed Strategies.
Also keep following VALUE Release Characteristics for value
<=1000,00.00 USD
1000,00.01 USD- 2000,00 .00USD
2000,00 .01- 10000,00.00 USD
instead of (0,00 - 1000,00 USD,1001,00 - 2000,00 USD,2001,00 - 10000,00 USD )

Release strategy tab is not coming in SES
Hi All,
I am facing a issue where I have created an SES, and release strategy is assigned to this SES. Problem is somehow the user is not able to see the release tab when he go wants to release the SES. The release tab is missing from the SES.
Am sure somebody has faced this kind of issue and have any idea how to correct this.
ThanksHi,
The direct reason that there is no release icon available in ML81N
is inconsistency in the field ESSR-FRGRL for affected SES's.
This field should be filled with 'X' as all those SES are subject
for release.
Have you changed customizing for involved release strategy recently ?
If a relase strategy is created with a certain name and documents are
created with respect to it afterwards, this release strategy should be
changed then IF AND ONLY IF a NEW name is assigned to it as well. In
other words, if such a strategy is already use, it should be RENAMED
before applying the desired changes.
Otherwise you will run into the observed inconsistencies when trying to
edit documents which were created BEFORE the strategy was changed
(since the system at some point always checks the NAME of the strategy
to be changed, NOT the content).
So if this case happens only for already created SES a good solution
for it is to delete affected SES and create a new one with changed
release strategy.
I would delete affected SES and create it again.
It seems to be the fastest way to resolve this issue.
If you need a correction for this inconsistency issue, please open a SAP ticket for your problem.

Release code for release group is inconsistent
Message no. ME_RELCHK057
Diagnosis
The release code is not allowed because the associated release group no longer exists.
Procedure
1. Recreate release group .
Note
The release codes and release strategies for a release group are only displayed if the release group still exists. Therefore you must create release group in order to delete the release codes and release strategies.
2. If necessary, delete the release strategies and the release codes for release group .
3. Then delete release group .Hi,
If you set up the release procedure with classification for purchase requisitions, the procedure without classification is deactivated. The two procedures are mutually exclusive (that is to say, you must decide in favor of one of them only - you cannot use both).
To set up a release procedure with classification, you please delete all entries in the Release codes and Release Groups for Purchasing Requisitions and start a fresh creation of new Release Codes and Release Groups.
Hope you have followed the following procedure:
1. Create characteristics and classes
Note
If you wish to link your release procedure to workflow, you must perform steps 2 and 3. You make these settings in Customizing for Business Workflow (Basis -> Business Management).
Otherwise, continue with step 4.
2. Define organizational plan
3. Assign standard tasks and activate event-receiver linkage.
4. Set up release procedure with classification
a) Create release group
b) Create release code
c) Create release indicator
d) Create release strategy
Note
You need only carry out the following step if you wish to link your release procedure to workflow.
e) Assign release code to a release point
5. Check release strategies
Hope, this time you will be able to perform the PR Release with Clasiification.

Purchase Order - Release Startegies; Inconsistency error
Dear all,
I am changing our release startegy for the purchase orders. Therfore I added two characteristics:
- Plant (Table EKKO and Field WERKS)
- Material Number
The problem is that I get the following error message:
"Inconsistent characteristic value assignment"
I only added the plant value so I do not understand why I get an inconsistency?!
In the next step I also want to integrate the characteristic "materialnumber". Is it possible to define the value somehting like all values without 950*?
Can anybody help me with this?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Markus SiglDear Sasi,
I checked the database and all parts of the strategy. There should be no inconsitency (all the codes. I still could not solve this problem, groups and so on should be ok).
Have you got another idea?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Markus
Hi
I think this may be because of inconsistency caused with tables. Kindly check all the tables related to release strategy and the entries.tables T16FK, T16FV, T16FS, T16FC and T16FG
If you change any release strategy with fout following the sequence, the inconsistency in table will be created.
Follow the sequence below for deletion or changes
1. Delete the release strategies
2. Delete the release indicators
3. Delete the release codes
4. Delete the release group
5. Delete the class
Hope this helps.

Error relate to PO Release Strategy
Hi expert,
I have a problem relate to PO release strategy. I try some of suggestions but nothing work. I hope you guy can help me to fix it.
I have finished configuring PO Release Strategy and Release Group is ZT with 2 release code (01, 02).
After that i created some of other release groups and delete the first release group ZT (include release strategy). But whenever when i go to ME29N, ZT always appear in release group with it's release strategy even i already deleted it.
Thanks for your helpHi,
What procedure did you follow while deleting the release group ? The process for release group deletion should be as mentioned below.
1. First delete the classification data for the release strategies you want to delete
2. Delete release strategies ( from detail view in SPRO )
3. Then delete release codes ( including description in different languages - translation )
5. Lastly delete release groups ( including description in different languages - translation )
If you dont follow the above process inconsistency might be there.
After deletion if you want to create new release groups follow the steps in reverse reverse order.
1. Create Release group ( including description in different languages - translation ) Check table - T16FG
2. Create Release Codes ( including description in different languages - translation ) - Check table - T16FC/T16FD
3. Create Release Strategies ( ( including description in different languages - translation ) - Check table - T16FS/T16FT
- Assign codes to Release Strategies
4. Maintain classification values - Tocode CL20N
Please let me know ifyou need any further help.
Regards

Verison Management with PO release strategy - CEKKO-REVNO
Hello,
I'm a bit stuck... I'm trying to do a PO release strategy using version management, were the PO goes through a release strategy if the PO gets changed (not the intial PO creation).. So once the field RENVO is greater then 0, it should go through R.S.
I've read to create a characterstic CEKKO-REVNO and then assign it as a valuet <0... I intital;y created it with a NUM Data type, but the ABAP dictonary overides it with a CHAR instead... So I read to mark the value as a default value (<0)
However, after I add it to my class, I go to the define release strategy - classifcation section (to add the value <0) I'm getting a value inconsistency check.
How do i setup this characterstic so I can use it in release strategy?Based on adding 00000000 the release strategy will work when its version 0 (intial). However, I'm trying to have it so it goes through a release strategy when the version is 1 or greater...
It seems like I cant get the strategy to work for more then one version... I can get it to work for version 0 but no others, or version 1 and no others etc...
I need to have it some it works for anything greater then zero, in which i tried <0000000 and even >000000
I also tried adding 000001, 000002, 0000003, 0000004 etc.. An although the release strategy tab is still applying, it will NOT result to a blocked status...
I cant get this to work... How should the characterstic value look to get this requirement?

PURCHASE REQUISSITION RELEASE STRATEGY
Dear All SAP Guru,
I have created purchase requisition release strategy in quality same as in devlopment(testing).In testing it is flowing correctly, but in quality when i created pr it is not added to release strategy.I checked everything characterstics, class, release startegy and found that it is very similar with testing client.I doesnot know where is problem.
Please suggest me solution
Thanks and regards
Mahesh LotakeDear Mahesh Lotake,
Sometime when you transport the DEV to QAS, you may missing the assignment value
if you have not do it correctly. However you still can fill in the value manually. This
can be done at CL24N -> and click the "Value of assignment" button. Also, make
sure the status = 1(Active).
You also need to check if any red trafic light to make sure you have no inconsistency.
Execute the transaction OMGQCK or OMGSCK and ensure that the system does
not show any red traffic lights.

PO release strategy - release code
Hi Experts,
I have completed the release strategy and transported to production.
However noticed that the release codes that has been configured earlier wasn't in the production.
Is there a way to update the release codes in the production besides using SPRO (no authorisation for maintaining - only display) like using CL24N to update the characteristics?
Thanks and regardsHi,
Please first check the attached notes that refer to transport issues.
365604 FAQ: Release strategies in purchasing
186809 OMGQ/CL24: Inconsistency for release strategy class
86900 Transport of Release strategies (OMGQ,OMGS)
45951 Transporting class data: system / client
10745 Copying classification data to another client
The classification data must be sent over using ALE. It does not get
transported directly. Notes 45951, 86900 and note 365604 should help.
Please follow the instructions in note 45951.
You can obtain more information about how to set-up ALE in the Online
Documentation CD (R/3 Library > CA - Cross Aplication Components >
Business Framework Architecture > ALE Integration Technology > ALE Quick
start).
However, if you can't set-up ALE, you can re-create the classification
data agin in your target system. For that you have to:
1- assign new values to the characteristic master data (t-code CT02)
2- assign the new data to the classification system (t-code CL30)
3- verify the consistency with t-code CL24. Please see note 186809.
For more information, please see note 365604.
The transport of release procedure customizing data can only be done
in a restricted manner. Please take a look at attached Note 86900 and
follow the procedure described in this note, in order to correctly
transport your release strategies.
Classification data can only be transported via ALE as per note 45951.
Note 45951 explains what class data for the release strategy will be
distributed from one system to another. It does not describe how to
implement as this involves a lot of explanation and is truely a
consulting issue.
There is another possibility that you could take into consideration for
the classification is to import them via batch input:
RCCTBI01 for creating characteristics
RCCLBi01 for creating classes
RCCLBI03 for classification

Release strategy for purchase requisition does not kick in
Hi Gurus!
I've been struggling with this issue for some weeks now.
I have set up the release strategy configuration for purchase requisitions with classifications.
However, if I create a purchase requisition the release functionality is not taken into account by the system.
See below some more information regarding my configuration:
1. I've created a new characteristic "REL_PR_GROUP". Status: released, Multiple values, Number of Chars 3, 7 values (TR1, TR2, TR3....TR7), Table name: CEBAN, Field name: EKGRP, Procedure for value assignment set to not ready for input.
2. I've created a new class: "REL_PR_ANPC". Class type 032, Status: released, Same classification: do not check, Char: "REL_PR_GROUP"
3. I have one release group "T1", Rel. object 1, OverReqRel is marked, Class: "REL_PR_ANPC"
4. I have 5 release codes. Grp: T1, Code: 01....05
5. I have 2 release indicators:
"R = Released", Rel. for ordering is marked, Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
"X = Blocked", Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
6. I have 1 release strategy:
"T1 with Grp T1"
- one release group, 01 Manager
- release prerequisites not applicable because of only one release group
- release status, nothing marked = blocked, 01 marked = released
- classification, purchasing group is TR1 or TR2 or TR3 or TR4 or TR5 or TR6 or TR7
I intentionally kept the configuration as simple as possible so I can try to get it working first.
Now if I create a purchase requisition for an item with release group T1, I would expect the release strategy to be activated. However, this is not the case. I don't see the "release status" tab in the PR, and if I try to relase via ME54 the system says the PR is not relevant for release.
Could you please assist in getting this working?Hi,
Have you checked in CL30/CL30N if your release strategy is derived successfully?
See section 3 of Note 365604. A small section of it:
You can use transaction CL30 search for an object using the data
of the purchase requisition/purchase order. Here, it is important
that the object search determines exactly one strategy. If this
is not the case, this indicates that there are overlapping
strategies in the system or that the release strategies in
Customizing do not correspond with those from transaction CL24.
See the previous point. If the object search returns more than
one result, the system subsequently determines an incorrect
release strategy or no release strategy at all.
If it is derived successfully, next, check the user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 as per Note 371667:
The following assignment statement has to exist within activated SAP
enhancements M06B0002 (include zxm06u13) and M06B0005 (include zxm06u31)
for purchase requisitions:
E_CEBAN = I_CEBAN.

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. -
PO Changeability / Release Strategy / BAPI_PO_RELEASE Issue
Hello everyone,
I've run into an interesting problem:
We have defined several PO release strategies. Most of these work in the traditional manner, requiring manual approval by a given user. One release strategy, "99," gets picked up by a batch job and released automatically using BAPI_PO_RELEASE. Either way, the release indicator for all released PO's is set to "R." This all works as intended.
We have maintained Changeability settings for each release indicator in customizing. "R" is set to "4 - Changeable, new release in case of new strat. or val. change," with a percent value change tolerance of 10%.
If we make a change to a manually released PO that exceeds the threshold set in customizing, the release procedure starts over as intended.
If we make a change exceeding the threshold to a PO that was released automatically by BAPI_PO_RELEASE, the release procedure does not start over, and the PO remains unblocked.
What would cause this discrepancy? The two records look virtually identical in EKKO, particularly in respect to the fields relevant to release.
Thank you ahead of time for your help.
