Release strategy problem in RFQ

Dear cons
In release strategy of P.O we are using three characterstics. I.e- net order value, purchase group & plant. Wehave not made any Release strategy setting for RFQ..while we are creating RFQ the system ask to release the RFQ. wHY.wHAT IS THE REMEDY FOR THAT. BECAUSE WE DONOT WANT TO RELEASE THE RFQ. I saw which data I have entered for P.O release strategy The same data is available In RFQ path.The path is img-material mang- purchasing- P.o- rel. PROCEDURE for P.O- DEFINE REL. PROCEDURE FOR p.o. you can check same data is avaiable in RFQ PATH.
PL. GIVE ME SOME HINTS.

Hi,
Please use document category or document type or both as chanracteristics for the release class.

How to avoid po release strategy replicating in RFQ

Dear Sapiens,
I am aware as we are using same class for PO RFQ and Contract the release strategy will repliacte in rest,
but I dont want PO release strategy to get repliacted in RFQ,because I dont have realease for RFQ
how to avoid po release strategy replicating in RFQ?

Kantha

Hi,
Yes they are same unless you differentiate by using
1> Purchasing Document Category i.e CEKKO -BSTYP
A..... Request for Quotation
F......Purchase Order
K......Contract
L......Scheduling Agreement
So if you just create a characteristics for CEKKO-BSTYP then maintain its values only for F so it will not be applied to RFQ

Release strategy for PO, RFQ & Contract

Hi,
We have created release strategy for PO, RFQ & Contract.
Characterisitc is created for Target Value for Header Area (CEKKO-KTWRT)
for RFQ & Contract it working fine but for PO not triggering.
what can be the cause.
Pls guide.

Hi,
Melih is right, for POs you can not use the target value.
What you might do is to include the document type and CEKKO-GNETW as additional characteristics and then set for contract document types the GNETW blank, and for PO documet type the target value blank. Blank means any value should fit.
I hope this hint helps!

PR Overall Release Strategy Problem

Hi Expert,
I have set the following
Characterisrtic Name:
1) ZPR_Release_Plant, Char : CEBAN-WERKS (Char format : 4)
2) ZPR_Release_DOC_Type , char : CEBAN-BSART (Char format : 4)
3) ZPR_Release_Pur_Grp, Char: CEBAN_EKGRP (Char format : 3)
4) ZPR_Release_Total_Value, Char: CEBAN-GFWRT (Curr format : 15 and EUR)
I assign the above to Class : ZPR_Overall_Rel
I created Release Grp R1 and assign the class and tick "Overall Release" checkbox. There is only one class, no others in the list
I created two Release codes, F1 - Senior Finance Manager, C2, CEO
I created two purchasing group, LLL and LYL
I used the standard indicators for S - block 2 - RFQ/PO and I created two release strategies A1 and A2 for Rel grp R1.
A1 - release Code: F1, Classfication: Plant 0001, Doc Type : NB, Value : > 0.00 EUR, and Pur Grp : LLL
A2 - release Code: C2, Classfication: Plant 0001, Doc Type : NB, Value : > 0.00 EUR, and Pur Grp : LYL
The problem is when I tried to created the PR, it doesn't work at all. No trigger whether I click the "check" button at the toolbar of the PR (i.e., the release strategy tab not appearing at the header). I also tried saved and display the PR and see if the Release strategy appears at the header but still not triggering.
Can you folks advise?
Thanks
Lo

Forgot to check the box "Overall Release" forthe Nb doc Type. The problem is now solved.

Can someone give me some good idea about it how to configure in a proper way.

Hi
I hope you followed the following steps:
1. Create Characteristic using CT04
2. Create a class and link to the characteristic using CL02( class type: 32)
3. Configuration of release procedure
    SPRO IMG->MM-> Purchasing -> PO -> Release Procedure -> Set up procedure
    A) Create release group and link to class
    B) Create release code
    C) Set up the release indicator
    D) Set up Release Strategies-> strategy and codes
    E) Set up Release Strategies -> pre requisites
    F) Set up Release Strategies -> status
    G) Set up Release Strategies -> values for strategy

Release strategy: problems after changing the price

HI Experts,
I have the follwing problem.
I´ve setup the release strategy for Purchase reqs.
The strategy includes 3 approval levels.
release indicator with changeability 4 and a value of 0,1% for the first two approval levels.
I´m able to release it, but if I release the first two appoval levels and change the Preq the release strategy goes back to the first level. Fine.
But the problem is now that I´m able to release the first level but if I try to release the second one I get a error message.
I guess the problem is the changeability - but how can I solve this issue?
The system have the cancel all approvals if someone changes the price.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Alex

HI RJ,
the exact message is "Release prerequisite not fulfilled".
The system should act in the following way:
Approval levels:
1. Supervisor
2. Manager
3. General Manager
1 and 2 is approved.
Then the requisitioner changes the price.
Release will be changeled (Releases already effected will be cancelled).
OK that work, now the release process starts with level 1.
1. Approved --> OK
2- try to approve and get the message "Release prerequisite not fulfilled".
1 and 2 have the same release indicator with 4 and 0,1%.
Thanks
Alex

Release strategy error in RFQ

Hai,
Release strategy gets effected when all the characteristics mentioned for the release strategy are complied otherwise the strategy will not affect the RFQ.You might have given any value not relevant to the characteristic.For eg you might have given alower value than the value mentioned for the characteristic RFQ value.

PR RELEASE STRATEGY PROBLEM

I am getting the following two error messages in the error log, while creating the PR Release strategy,
1.No release group exists
2.Characteristic CG_COE_RS_1 not linked to communication structure CEBAN
Please suggest

Hi,
Point wise answers as below:
1) SPRO>MM>Purchasing>PR>Release Procedure>Set up Procedure with classification>Release Group and release code
Create Release Group and also give release class, which you have created and assign this release group to your release codes.
2) SPRO>MM>Purchasing>PR>Release Procedure>Set up Procedure with classification>Edit Characteristics or (T.Code:CT04).
For the respective characteristic, in the additional tab you have to give Table name as "CEBAN" and field name as your corresponding field name

PO release strategy problem

Hello Friends
Who can help me?
I created one PO, then check in ME23, and found release strategy for this PO is 'VS', but when I check PO release strategy in customizing, it's not defined for PO release strategy. So, how strategy 'VS' is assigned to PO during order creation?
This order can't be released in ME28

Check below link ;

Release strategy problem

I am working on configuration of PO release strategy.
I have two plants in one PO. I included both as values in characteristics and then selected in OMGS (classification) but release strategy is not working when I created purchase order with both plants but works with single plant.
Does anybody know why ?

Hi,
Release strategy for PO with line item charcterstics like Plant, item category, material group etc., gets updated into the structure CEKKO as blank if two different values found in a document. For this type you need to create a assign a value as blank for the Plant.
Ex: Release strategy S1 for plant 1000 with Charctertic value 1000
Release strategy S2 for plant 1100 with charcterstic value 1100
Release strategy S3 for both plants 1000, 1100 with charcterstic value " BLANK"

P.O Release Strategy Problem

Hi,
I have a case in our production system, where we have a release strategy for P.O, which has got 3 release codes.. Say strategy is A and Release group is B.
When I create the P.O, The release strategy B A is being called, but inexplicably, I see 4 release levels, I go to SPRO and check the Release Strategy B A but in that strategy too, only 3 levels are maintained.
I went to release simulation, here I see 4 levels !! Where if the approval is given at the 3rd level, the 4th level is automatically shown as approved, and the P.O gets released.
I am curious to know, from where did this 4th level of approval come from, even though it is not defined in the config of the release strategy.
The release code description for the 4th level (the additional level) is Financial release, I was wondering whether this additional level has got something to do with some setting done in FIAR/AP-Business Transactions...
Can someone throw some light on this.
Many Thanks
Shailesh

Hi Nick,
I also thought the same, but to my utter surprise, I see only 3 levels in the release pre requisites, while when I click on simulation, I see 4 !!!
However in the P.O as well as in simulation, once the 3rd level approves, the 4th one which is the Finance release happens automatically .
I am trying to understand how did the 4th level come in from, Is it some other finance config setting?
Thanks
Shailesh

Purchase Requisition release strategy problem

Hi,
We have maintain the Item wise PR Release Strategy in three levels (1-Site In-charge, 2-Project Manager, & 3- Director). PR release is in sequence from 1 to 3 but in any case changes required after full release in PR we need to restrict the user for sequence unrelease from upper to lower one then change. Now lower one unrelease the fully release PR and change it. So please suggest me for sequence unrelease from upper to lower one then after changes being possible.
Thanks.

I believe you should have addressed this question to some of ERP forums as the current one is for ME application.

RFQ release strategy

Hi
I have a problem.
I use RFQ release strategy but can create PO with reference to not released RFQ.
I need to create PO's only with reference to released RFQ, same as with reference to
released contract (I can't create PO with reference to not released contract).
Thanks
Meir

Hi,
It is of the standard functionality of SAP that you can create PO with reference to unrelease RFQ. Yet, you can't be able to create PO with reference to unrelease PR. If you would like to meet your business requirement, you will have to activate the user exit.
Cheers,
HT
