Release Strategy - Purchase Order

I have configured the relevant settings for creating the purchase order.
I am now able to create the purchase order and email the same.
However, the requirement is to release the purchase order by a Superior in the organization.
I have come across the transaction code ME28.
Can you please let me know the configuration and user transaction steps in order to follow he release strategy of the purchase order.
Thanks in advance for your inputs.
Regards,
Ravi

hi,
Few points:
1. Po can be released only at header level..
2. For configuartion, go to SPRO >> IMG >> MM >> Purchasing >> PO >> define release strategy for PO >>
here you shd set up your new release strategy ...for that you need to edit characteristics, class...
first maintain your characteristics ie. from "EDIT characteristics" ...here create your own characteristics and enter the suitable data here...enter class type '032' for the same...
reference the fields from CEKKO structure...and add your require release relevent fields...
then go to EDIT CLASS...here define your new class and maintain same class type as 032...
3. After this maintain release strategy...click on release group option..go inside...link your req. release group to class...so that the classified characteristics will seems while releasing the document...
4. Maintain release codes...
5. maintain release indicator...
6. then maintain inside Release strategy tab...
here define you already maintain group and codes...maximum 7 rel. codes are possible...
then maintain preriquisite...
In side classification, maintain the fields based on which you wanna release the PO...
and maintain the other req. things on diff. tabs...
7. after doing this check your rel. strategy at OMGSCK tcode ie. given in tree path at same place inside SPRO path define above..
Try making a PO and check whether its working or not...

  • Release strategy Purchase order missing

    Hi experts,
    I set release strategy for purchase order and it was working OK, but now release procedure is not active when I create a purchase order, all setting are correct and verificaction too.
    Sap version is ECC 6.0, I do not know if there is something to correct this error, because I created some POs and release tab was displayed correctly but now it does not work.
    Do you know something to solve this issue?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Lili.

    Please make sure the release strategy is not changed by some one and than check it out
    or go to release strategy config and check the release strategy of last config
    here everything should be green or yellow
    now go to CL30 and enter your class and class type 032 and hit enter
    then enter the value of you charactristics which you have used in the Po and hit the Find in inti class from top menu
    see what all release stra get pulled.
    if oyu pulled more than one that means you have duplication inyour release strategy

  • Release strategy purchase order workflow

    hi,
      after release strategy defined ,
      i configured role on relesae codes in img.
      1.  If  I (functional people  and me) define release strategy, I have assigned the roles,  then  if purchase is created , the work item goes to  particular agent inbox  or not ?.
    Because there is any further configuration is there after release strategy is defined,
    Now, I configure workflow only for to send mails to particular release code persons.
    I want this clarification.
    2. For rejecting POs is there any EVENT.
    I found RESET event for rejecting POs, is it correct.
    please reply ASAP.
    thanks & regards

    Hey,
    You need to use business object BUS2012. Do a where used list from transaction SWO1 and you will find the standard workflows delivered by SAP. You can either use these or create a new workflow.
    Event ReleaseStepCreated can be used as an triggering event to send emails when a PO is created. If you want to trigger an email only for specific release codes you need to evaluate the release code in your workflow.
    Event Rejection_start for evaluating Rejections.

  • Create custom data when releasing a Purchase Order

    Hello people,
    The customer uses ME28 to release the Purchase Order.
    They have, for instance, two release estrategies: W1/01 and W2/02, that differ about the price.
    The scenario is:
    When the customer releases a Purchase order from W2/02 strategy using ME28 transaction, we need to do some verifications in Z tables and create a record in another Z table. If for some reason the purchase order will not be released, this Z data does not have be saved.
    And if some error occurs and the data don´t be saved, the estrategy must remain blocked (not released).
    In which EXIT is the best point to do this?
    Thanks a lot!

    hey
    try these 2 user exits
    MM06E005 - ZXM06U43 which is called from exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. This code is hit at the time you check or save.
    M06E0004 - Changes to communication structure for release purch. doc - EXIT_SAPLEBND_002

  • Can't release an purchasing order

    Dear experts!
    Thank you for your attention!
    I can't release an purchase order when I processed a " 3rd party order with shipping nocification" .
    The purchase requisitions has been created automantically and been assigned and also been converted to PO.
    However, I can't release the purchase order with no reason.
    hint: the material is not define for the vendor.
    Where did the problem come out?
    Best regard!

    Hi
    maintain info records in ME11
    and also sourcelist in ME01
    release in Me28 or Me29

  • Eror when release the purchase order

    hello,
    any body pls explain me. my client requires when they going to release the purchase order it should check the chapter id. if it is not maintained it should allow to release. is it possible. it yes please explain me.
    thaks

    The message you are looking for is actually available only for me21 &
    not for ME21N due to technical constraints.
    However you can make use of the following logic & customise the message
    to appear during PO creation through me21n.
    This is how the system works as of now. In ME21 this can be captured
    as an error message and the sytem displays it so. In ME21N the
    output of message is on the 'last in first out' process. In this case if
    there are any standard messages then the particular CIN message would
    not be shown. In case there are no other messages then this message
    is shown out. Customers can capture this mesage on a priority basis
    by making some adjustments at the time of display of this message
    in function module J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE.
    You can write your own code to display the 'chapter id missing' error.
    In 'FV64A352' include program, we are calling the function module
    'J_1I6_DETERMINE_EXCISE_RATE'.In this module we are getting the
    'chapter id missing' exception when chapter id is not maintained for
    a material.So in 'FV64A352' just after this function module call, you
    can catch this exception(chapter_id_missing     = 1) and display your
    own error message there.
    This will be a customer modification from SAP standard, so please think twice before going ahead

    Hello Venu,
      Thanks for the response. I am doing what you said, I have exposed the BAPI as a web service, activate it (sicf), configurating the endpoint (soamanager), publish to the service registry (wspublish). But I have 2 problems,
       1. When I try to test it from the service registry it shows me this error: "Invalid transport binding settingsHTTP Client, does not have endpoint url specified", and I saw and the enpoints are configured.
       2. When I consume the web service through Web Dynpro, after I deploy and run, the applications show me this error, "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.model.webservice.gci.WSTypedModel"wsexample1.wsexample1_model.Wsexample1_model.<init>(Wsexample1_model.java:124)".

  • Block release of Purchase Order

    Hi,
    Has anyone had experience with creating a release strategy to block a Purchase Order based on the X-plant matl status located on basic data tab of material master?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi,
    Why go to the trouble?
    Maintain message "Blocked Purch and Prod of material does not allow external procurement" (Message no. ME 053) as an error. Then no purchasing/MRP etc can be done in the first place if block is maintained for material.
    Thanks.

  • ME28 Cancel release of purchase order

    Hello,
    when I try to perform a cancellation of a release of a PO I get an error message:
    ME 175 Document already treated. Function not possible
    It should be possible to cancel the release of alll released purchase orders. Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    please read the following:
                                                                                    Note 493900 /12. Question :                                                                         
    Is it possible to cancel a release strategy when the purchase order has                
    been printed out ?   
    Answer :                                                                               
    With ME29N you cannot cancel a release strategy once the document has                       
    been printed out. This behaviour constitutes a new design. Regarding                        
    ME28 it has been decided to keep the old behaviour and you can cancel                       
    the release if there is at least one message type which has not been                        
    printed out.                                                                               
    Please note AT LEAST ONE message type has NOT been printed out with                         
    ME28.                                                                               
    Alternatively, you can try the following:                                                                               
    - Transaction: SPRO                                                                         
    ->MM->Purchasing->PO->Release procedure for PO                                              
    ->Define relesae procedure for PO                                                           
    ->Release Strategies                                                                        
    ->Release Status                                                                               
    - choose the button release indicator and                                                   
    5   Changeable, new release if new strategy/outputted                                       
    6   Changeable, new rel. if new strat. or value change/outputted
    - go into transaction ME22(N)                                                       
    - you will get the warning message 06 684 stating                                   
    'Releases already effected are liable to be reset'                                  
    - change the price and save the p.o.. Now a change message will be                  
    created and will be send to the vendor again.                                       
    - Please note that the release strategy will only be reset if the price             
    is increased. When it is decreased it won't be reset. But in both                   
    cases a change message will be created and send to the vendor.                      
    - after the change of the p.o. you will have to release it again. After             
    the release the change message will be printed.                                                                               
    Hope this will help to solve the issue,
    regards,

  • Workflow for releasing blocked purchase orders

    Hi,
    We want to implement a workflow for financial approval of purchase orders. At the moment a purchase order exceeds a certain value, the order will be blocked and approval is needed from the responsible cost center manager. As we are completely new to workflow, is there some one that can help me with my questions below?
    1. Is there a standard workflow in SAP (ECC6.0) that supports the above process?
    2. What are the trigger points for this workflow (creation and change of PO?)
    3. What are the required steps to set up this workflow.
    Regards,
    Ed

    hi,
    You can set up your workflow while you setup your release strategy..Before you do this you have to use authorisation in order to assign the role to a special person, in your case cost centre manager and follow on with your release strategy...
    Creation n changibity will depend on the changability indicator defined under release indicator set up...
    where you can choose as per your req. for eg 4, 5 or 6 etc...
    you also take help of BI consultant if req....
    Also you can find may threads reg. Workflow into SDN...

      i want to enhance at that pointi.e when u select the po no and click the button,automatically trigger an email to the vendor.

    plz help,

    regards,
    johnson

    Hi
    In the PO, you maintain output messages for Printing ./ Emailing/ Faxing the Purchase order.
    The message has the despatch time maintained.
    There are 4 different Depatch times.
    1 - Send with periodically scheduled job
    2 - Send with job, with additional time specification
    3 - Send with application own transaction
    4 - Send immediately (when saving the application)
    When you select  4 in the message , whne the PO is finally released, the message will be processed automatically.
    When you select 3, you need to run ME9F transaction to process the message output.
    You can change the message in the PO , by clicking on the message button in ME22N transaction.
    So if the user has released the PO in me28 & clicked on Save this will process the message output
    Thanks & Regards
