Hello,
It possibel to reject PO and PR with Remarks for rejection with the help of workflow.
If you are not using work flow then you can use the Header text in PO and Pr for the same so that Creator knows the reason for the same.

Release Strategy for PO not kicking in

Hello SAP Experts,
I have gone through all the steps of configuring release strategy for PO. I checked at the end with the transaction code OMGSCK and everything is good with no error. But when I test the strategy by creating a PO, the 'Release Strategy' tab does not come on in the PO Header. This means that the Release Strategy did not work. I have troubleshot over and over again right from the Characteristics/Class, all the way to the Release Strategy, but no breakthrough.
I will appreciate and award points for helpful hints.
Thank you in advance.
Joel.

Please list all your char you have created and the value of char.
Than please tell the PO details.
once i got this info than only i can see the problems.
you can do one more thing
goto CL30n and enter the class and class type 032
than hit enter and enter the value of char which you have used in the PO and then hit find initial class button from top menu
see if any release strategy is pulled or not?
if it is determine morethan one that means you have same value exist in more than one release strategy

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.
Thanks

Hi,
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.

PO release strategy LSMW with SM30_VV_T16FS_2

Dear Friends ,

Release Strategy in PR not triggered for different Purchase Groups.

Dear Experts,
For Purchase Requistion - Header Level Release Strategy has been defined with Purchase Group as one of the Characteristics(Characteristic Values are V1, V2, V3).
When PR is created for 30Line items with V1, V2 or V3 as Purchase groups independently- Release Strategy is triggered.
But when a combination of all 3 Purchase groups is used in the same PR for 30 Line items together. No Release Strategy is Triggered. All these 3 Purchase groups have been assigned for all strategies.
Thanks & Regards
Chandan H N

You are using characteristic P. Group for different RS. That means that if only one value exists, the system will be able to understand which RS to implement. If you are using more than one values for this characteristic, the system simply does not know which RS to choose and takes nothing.
More simply you are using a header data (p. Goup) for RS and you are using it in line items. This is wrong. You have to make PR's only for the respective P. Group

Release Strategy for Credit Note un the QM Module

Good SAP Guru's,
I have a very important question for you:
Is it possible within in the QM module (Transaction QM12) to implement a Release Strategy based on the value of the credit note to be created.
This should work on the same lines as the Purchase Order Release strategy.
Any guide lines and/or assistance will be gratefully appreciated.
Kind regards,
Leslie

Dear Leslie
We had done a similar kind of development in notification, not for credit memo though , but certainly can be incorporated in this case.We had done this for approving Short shipment and devaitions. If there has to be short shipment to be sent to a customer a notification will be trigered to manager and if he approves it will go for higher approval.
Please find my suggestion for this development
1) Make 3 task codes. for eg Task 1 for credit note is for less than u20AC500.00 . Task 2one for more than 501 and Task 3other one for more than 2001.
2) According the need of the credit notes to be created let the user assign the task and release it.
3) For task no 2 and task No3 a workflow triggers to the corresponding roles Sales manager & General Manager. ( please note that notifications are workflow freindly and standard workflows are available for the same)
4) if Manager wants to approve he can make the Task Complete. ( Notification tasks have 4 stages, outstanding, release, complete, Succussful)
5) Based on the status of the task you can make use of the action box in notification for creating the credit memo.
6) The credit memo creation will have to be developed. You will have to get ABAP support for this. They can either do it through user exit, or call transaction , and incorporate the same in the Action box of notification. (QQMA0001: User Subscreen for Notification Header, QQMA0014 Checks before saving notification )
please let me know your apprehensions

New release strategy should not trgger for PO released with old Rel Strategy

Hi All,
Please suggest. Po has been fully released with Release Strtgy V1 XX. Now I m replacing release strategy XX with ZZ. If I change any po which has old rel str XX , system will reset new release strategy as in config changeability indicator 4 maintained.
But requirement is if there is any change or value decreasing in fully released Pos with old strategy it should not retrigger new release strategy. If value Increases then New strategy should retrigger.
Please help me on this.
regards,
Rohit

HI Rohit
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 most important thing to consider in to avoid changes to release strategy customizing once the release strategy is used.
The commom steps are:
1- make sure all of the old POs should have been released.
2- don't delete/change the original release strategy. create a new release strategy with copy function, then the old release strategy will not be replaced.
3- if you delete the original release strategy and add a new release strategy which the characteristics in classification is same as old release strategy then the PO (have been approved) will be replaced with the new release strategy.

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.

Purnima.

Purchase Order not subject to release strategy for contract rel. strategy

Hello, I am trying to set release strategy for contracts (TCODE: ME31K). I have created characteristic, which use table CEKKO and field name BSTYP in Addnl data tab. I have checked values, and they are correct. Then I have assigned in release strategies in classification view value contract. But when I try to check release strategy in ME31K with green flag, it display error: Purchase Order not subject to release strategy. (I have tried to do the same strategy in purchase order, of course with value Purchase order, and it works nice).
So I have checked this release strategy with this codes:
CL24N ok,
CT04 ok,
CL30N ok,
CL20N ok,
Release simulation in release strategy works,
Then I found out that I should check SE38, SE37 but I do not understand how to use them (according: Purchasing Document Not Subject to Release Strategy).
Thank you for your help in advance.

I haven't said to use EKPO table in characteristics. You have to use CEKKO - BSTYP in characteristics.
I've just said the compare the value which you have given in Release strategy - Classification and EKPO table for the particular contract.
Also compare your release strategy settings with many existing documents in SCN.
Check your Classification should be like that.
You may see the error message in ME31K. Just save the contract then go to ME32K/ME33K or ME35K you can see the release strategy will effect for the contract.

Purchae requisition Release strategy not Invoked

Hi,
I have Purchase requisition Release startegy.
Criteria is
1. Account assignment category -K
2. Material Group suppose -001
3. Plant - 4001
4. Valuation Price - 1000 USD.
Then Release staregy got Invoked. Presently it is working fine.
I have Created another Release strategy for with same criteria but I have added another criteria with user name- ernam.
Same thing I have created characterstic and assigned to Class.
CL24N and CL20N also Maintained.
But this New Release stragey Not Invoked and Old one only invoked at the time of requsition created.
Please guide me is there any configuration to Invoke this new Strategy?
Regards,
Sridhar.

Hi Indranil,
Thanks for your response.
I thought user name will differentiate the new release strategy with old one.
I am using same parameters in both strategies.
Plants, Material groups, Cost center same with old one. New release strategy very few members are going to use.
Business is few users will create Pur Req. Users are not having release codes. Tracking number also used in another release strategy.
Regards,
Sridhar.

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.

Release strategy for Scheduling Agreement(SA)

Dear Forum,
This issue is with regards to the release strategy for Scheduling Agreement(SA)
Until now release has only been applicable to contracts at our client site. But we now plan to introduce it for SA as well. Such a feature is available in SAP but the problem is that with the given release strategy GR is not allowed until the release is affected. The system allows you to post the delivery schedule.
Now what I want is that after making the SA the system should not allow to make delivery schedule if release is not affected.
We also have MRP run at client site..Kindly suggest the procedure as, how to configure it.Are der any User Exit for the same,if so please discuss..
Warm Regards
Nainesh

Hi,
What's the SA Type that was created via MRP.
If it's LP (without release document), release will not do anything BUT
If it's LPA (release document), then you will not be able to Post the GR until release is affected.
Thanks.
Scheduling Agreement can be categories as
1) LP (without release document) and
2) LPA (with release document)
If use LP, you can do GR without release but with LPA, you need to release the schedule line via ME38.
Thanks.
