Release strategy not working

Hi All,
I am working on a release procedure.All the release procedure configurations have been done for PO release .I have modified the user exit that determines the approvers which is a part of role 2000027 and I am using the standard WF 20000075 itself.
But after that when I creating a PO it is not triggering the WF.
When I am test the WF in SWUS by giving PO number and release code,its working fine.
But when I am Creating PO from ME21N workitem is not going to the user.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this.
Thanks
Raju

Does the PO have any Release Strategy tab in the Header of the PO. If not then your Release strategy is not configured in SPRO. Search this forum for configuration
2)If the PO has Release Strategy tab then please check in SWE2 whether the Linkage between the event and Workflow is activated. If not activate it. Also please check entries in SWEL Transaction code.
Thanks

Release strategy not working - no multiple releases

Hi All,
Thanks for your help.
I have resolved that issue.
Now I am facing another problem.I am having release strategy with release codes R1,R2,R3,R4.
For certain amount say 1-99 I need only R1 approval.
and 100-199 the Po should go to R2 approval only and for 200-299 it should go to R3 level approver.But for amount >300 PO need both R3 and R4 approval.The PO should go for R4 Release after R3 Release.
R1,R2,R3 levels are working fine as the PO goes only at one level.But for R4 it not working.
The users are selected based on the roles assigned.
I am using a Ztable to get the roles where release code,group and roles are populate.
For each Release code are assigned Say for R1 it is ZR1 and R2 it is ZR2 etc...for each level the users selected based on roles say for R1 ---users will have roles ZR1.
But at R4 level I need to select the users for both ZR3 and ZR4.
When I am triggering the WF using Purchase order as Po number and Release code as R4 it is not selecting R3 roles.
I am using the user exit for the user determination based on roles.
Can anyone please help me on how to resolve this.
Thanks and Regards
Raju

Hi Sujoy!
Thanks for the resolution.
My question is: Currently, plant is set as one of the characteristic in the release strategy. Hence, this problem!!
Now, we need to remove this "plant" and maybe consider including Company code or Purchase organization as the characteristic.
1. Pl tell me how to implement this?

Release Strategy not working for MRP generated PR

I have one qurey. Currently we are release strategy for normal PR.Now client want to activate release strategy for MRP generated PR.
current Release Strategy for normal PR configured as following.
Purchase requisition document     RV
Purchase requisition document     ZADV
Purchase requisition document     ZIMP
Purchase requisition document     ZSER
Purchase requisition document     ZSTD
Purchase requisition document     ZSTR
Purchasing group     A01
Total value of requisition for     > 1.00 INR
Creation indicator (purchase r     Realtime (manual)
Overall release of purchase re     Yes
For MRP generated PR I add creation indicator B - Material requirements Planning.Even after add creation indicator release strategy is not triggering for PR.
To trigger PR any setting need to do other than add creation indicator.

Sathish

Hi
You don't have to include creation indicator as parameter. Check in what documnet type MRP PR is generated. You can see it in t.code OMDT. At document type level also you can manage it. You need to include creation indicator only if a seperate person approves MRP generated PR.

PR (Header level) release strategy not working

Hi all,
I have configured release procedure for PR - Header level release(i.e. With classification). My scenario is as below,
If PR value is <=1000 INR and Plant 1000 Two persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1 and A2.
If PR value is >1000 INR and Plant 1000 Three persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1,A2 and A3.
i have created Two charac(for Plant and Value), one class(Assigned the characs to it), one group, 3 release codes, and 2 Release stratergies (i.e.S1 and S2). All the settings are fine. But when I create PR, system takes only the first Release stratergy by default. That is irrespective of the valuation price in PR system by default takes S1 release stratergy only. Even for higher value PR system is not taking S2 stratergy. I have given correct values in the classification field. Why does this happen? Release procedure without classification is not configured.
Note: I have even ticked overall release for document type NB
Any inputs? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ayyappan.

Hi all,
One thing is clear now. System is not all considering the value characteristics. Its only considering Plant character(WERKS). Thats why by default its taking first release stratergy since both have plant value as 1000 in classification view.
Just now i checked by using sinlge character. For release class with plant as character the release procedure is working fine but for class with value as character release is not at all getting hit.
Note:
1.My company code currency is EUR. My characteristic currency is USD. While i create PR in valuation price system by default selects EUR. I am manually changing it to USD. Is that correct?
2. Still my new posting period is not yet open.
Is there the problem is somethig related to above?

PO Release Strategy not triggerred for particular Total Net Order Value

Dear,
I am currently facing the issue where release strategy for purchase orders is not getting triggered for a particular value or lower.
For order value 1 INR or less, no release strategy is triggered for new created PO. And for value > 1 INR release strategy is getting triggered.
All otehr PO characterstics are the same, I mean to say the values for other characterstics such as plant material group are identical.
But the characterstics for release for Total net order value are <= 30000 INR. There are two system copies, where in one system the same release strategy is working as expected. But in other system the above mentioned issue occurs. There is no differnce which I can see in the release strategy setup.
Please suggest for solution.
Thank you.
Warm Regards.

Dear All,
While looking further into the issue by going into debugging mode, we have found that in include LCLSCF2I, Internal table p_selection_criteria_tab , the value for ATFLV (Internal Floating point from) gets different values in the two systems. For example, in the affected system, for PO with 1INR tottal value, for one of the Total value chaaracterstics before INR characterstic, ATFLV value is 0,0000000000000000E+00, hence it gets out of loop and doesn't trigger release strategy.
But in another system for same PO values and release setup, ATFLV value is 1,0000000000000000E+00 for that characterstic.
May I know how the value for this field gets calculated.
Thank you.
Warm Regards.

PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less

Subject : PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less Total PO
Dear Friends
We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy with multiple approvers. After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced . The new PO value should have changed the PO release strategy. But it is not changed. Old release strategy only showing in the PO which is wrong.
Details of the PO
PO no 4500000123 with 5 line items Total PO value : 100,000 USD Release strategy : AB
PO line item 5 deleted. Now total PO value changed to 50,000 USD and the PO release strategy should have been changed to AA but not changed. Still showing PO release strategy AB only.
Are there any OSS notes available to correct his bug.
Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in Advance
Thanks

Hi,
release indicators change it to 4.It may works. Please explore to all 6 indicators..........
i.e,
1-cannot be changed
2-changable,no new determination of strategy
3-changable,new release in case of strategy
4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change
5-changable,new release if new strategy/outputted
6-changable,new release if new strategy or value changed/ outputted......
And check Characteristic description and value in Classification of Release strategies ........
I hope this will help you. Thanking you.

Release Strategy to work on PO Gross value (inclusive of taxes)

Dear MM Gurus,
We have configured the PO Release strategy as under:
1) < 500000
2) > 500000
After checking the PO, we now find that the release strategy gets
triggered on the basic price only. Any additions to the amounts in the
condition tab also adds it to the Basic price and the release strategy
is properly working.
But when the user defines Tax code under Invoice tab, the Tax amount
gets added to the PO value. But in this case, the Release strategy
functionality does not work.
Requirement is that the Release strategy should work on the total PO
value (including Tax amounts). Any addition to the PO value by either
Condition amounts and/or Tax amounts should activate the Release
Strategy functionality.
Currently, it works only for the Net order value. Please let us know
how to configure for the PO Gross order value.
Thanks in advance
M

How can you include tax amount in the release strategy process. Approvers are doingthe approval/rejection through release strategy only for goods that are being purchased and it is value and tax amount is not relevant here at all.
Explain to your customer that this requirement cannot be implemented. If he still insists thatn tell him that only if they convert the tax amount into a price component, then it is possible. But then doing this means it is not tax, so basically the requirement is crazy.

Release Strategy or work flow in BI Content

Hi !
Do we have Release Strategy or work flow in BI Content of BW Release 3.5 ?
I have to display a history of purchasing requisitions and orders that was uploaded from SRM.
Thanks !!!
Zelda

You have to carry on the following activites:
1) Define Organisation Struture
2) Application specific customizing
A) Define Characteristic values
B) Define release codes and make them Workflow relevant
C) Define release strategy
Based on the characteristic values the Purchase Order will be applied to a particular release
strategy and will fall under specific catagory to pass through different level of approvals
D) Assign release codes to corresponding Orgnisational Objects with ID
3) Task specific customizing
A) Activate the event linkage for the standard workflow WS20000075
B) Do the agent assignment for the TS20000166
C) Make other two tasks as General Tasks (TS20000168,TS20000167).
4) Delete the row for event "Releasestepcreated" from SWEC (OSS Notes: 797775)
Hope this will help you

Release Strategy not triggered in PO

Release Strategy not triggered in PO and also in PR. Release Strategy stimulation is working fine but release tab is not coming in Po and also Pr.
What step I have to do after release strategy stimulation.
Regards
cns

Hi,
Unless you provides details, difficult to suggest an answer.
What are release criteria's you selected for PO and PR release strategy?
What are the release characteristics you have for PO and PR release procedure?
If you configure perfectly the PO and PR release strategy, did you transfers the "Vital Release Values" with your release strategy with release group and release class.
Refer few threads , may help full to you!

Release strategy not trigerred if PR changed after Approval

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement kindly help.   We have a PR generated from PS module, This PR is released by the approver. After the Approval, PS user change the PR qty and value has been increased. Now my client wants that this PR should be again sent for approval and release strategy should be trigerred. After the approval my release indicator is 2 RFQ/Purchase Order. I have set the Changeability indicator to 4 and define the tolerance to 0.1 %.
But PR release not trigerred even after this. Kidnly help.
Thanks.
Johi

Hi Johi,
Check note 493900 point 3:
3. Question :
Why is the release strategy not reset?
Answer :
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
       - the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
          case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
          another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
          quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
       - the document is still subject to the previous release
          strategy,
       - the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The total net order value is linked to CEKKO-GNETW for a purchase order,
CEBAN-GSWRT for a purchase requisition item-wise release and CEBAN-GFWRT
for a purchase requisition overall release.
If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release
(V_161S-TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the
document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the
document is still subject to the previous release strategy.
I hope this helps.

Ashwini.

Hello Hari,
please set a breakpoint at function module
ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
and see what happends in section
    CASE t16fc-frgwf.
* keine Ermittlung
      WHEN space.
        RAISE nobody_found.
* Ermittlung über T16fW
      WHEN '1'.
If using the T16FW-table, it should go to '1', otherwise it may that a user exit under '9' is used. So please check this.
Best wishes,

Please suggest.

SES Release Strategy not invoked in Backend from SRM confirmation posting

Hi,
I have configured a SES release strategy based on vendor number in R/3. When a SES is created in R/3 via ML81N the release strategy is invoked as expected. However, when a confirmation is entered in SRM for that vendor, the SES that is created in the backend system is created in accepted status and the release strategy is not invoked.
Can anyone advise how to get this to work the same way as ML81N?
I would expect that the SES would be created in the backend from the confirmation without acceptance and the release procedure to be the same as ML81N.
thanks,
Michelle.

Hi,
The SRM confirmation in EBP is the goods receipt(MIGO) and not the service entry sheet entry (ML81N) as we do in Materials management.
As per my understanding there is no provision of service entry sheet entry in SRM 5.0 as of now and SRM 7.0 has this option coming up :
In SRM 7.0 ,
"Supplier-maintained confirmation (service entry sheet) for services performed based on the service items within a purchase order
Confirmation supporting hierarchical structure of service items"
are added.
Look for this information in the thread which speaks about SRM 7.0
Re: Benefits of upgrading to SAP SRM 2007
which gives the info in slide 11, Delta SRM 7.0, Service procurement -2
Best regards,
Sridhar.

Release strategy not triggering for Specif plant

Hi Friends
I configured a release strategy with three charecteristics. P.org, Plant, Net value.
this stretegy is triggering for specific plants which are under a particular company code, and if I change to my plant and P.org. its not triggering.
I have deleted all the classifications and release strategies from, no other data in VV_T16FS_2 , AUSP,T16FV,and T16FS tables except this release strategies data.
do we have any settings at cocode level??????
please respond if answer known
Points would be awarded for for your valuable answer.

Thank you deepak for your quick respond
Actually There were already release strategies with same charecteristics, and with the values of other plants and other P.orgs which are under certain companycode.
these were triggering perfectly for PO
Now created new strategy for plant and P.org under different plant code of different cocde. this strategy not triggering for PO.
but if the release strtegy values replaced by the erlier plants and P.org again its triggering.
Now I created new chars, class, and stategies still same problem persists.
Release stategy working for the values of a prticular company code plants, Porgs.
and already tried your suggestion Cocode as char. but same its working for only that company code not for my companycode

PR Overall Release Startegy not working if Purchase Org Included

Hi All,
We are trying to configure a PR Release Strategy for Overall Release. IF purchase Org is included as one of the characteristics the strategy does not get applied to the PR. On removing PORG it works fine.
Any suggestions / pointers how to use porg as one of the characteristics for Overall PR Release strategy.
Thanks.

Hi,
Are you using alpha or numeric Purchasing orgs?
Could it be that you have entered the values in lower case?
