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.

Hi
What are the characteristics of your strategy?
Try to change one of them save and then rechange it to the original
eg.
If the strategy depends for example on the Purchasing Group (PG)
i mean according to different PG's different strategies working
then with ME22N change the PG save and rechange it again to the original.
or
for example If the strategy depends on Materail Groups (MG)
then do the change with MG
With ME22N change the MG save and rechange it again to the original.
I guess this will trigger the strategy again.
Hope it helps
Best Regards

Overall Purchase requisition Release strategy : Changed after Rejected

Hi All,
I have activated overall purchase requisition Release strategy (20000077) . And its working fine when PR is released at each level and saved.
Problem I have is when PR is rejected .
When PR is rejected , workitem is created for initiator with ME52 transaction. When initiator changes the contents of PR and saves , the release strategy should resume back from where it stopped. Thats means when Approver A rejects the PR, after initiator make changes , the workflow should trigger back with a workitem for release to approver A.
But its not happening as expected. When Approver A rejected the PR and initiator changes the PR , Nothing is triggered, as there is no event raised at this point.
ME52 changes for PR is not trigerring any event which can trigger the WF.
Is there any way we can trigger Workflow in this scenerio.
Please suggest.

Hi Subhashini,
This all depend on release strategy. release should reset completely on tha change.
For the increase of quantities or values you can maintain tolerance limits in the Customizing. When you increase the amount or value via the tolerance limit the system will reset the release.
When you reduce quantities or values the system only resets the release if another release strategy is determined for the lower quantity or the lower value.
If no other release strategy is determined by the reduction of the
amount or value, the system will keep already existing releases.
changeability in Release indicator also play a major role. You should set it to either 3 or 4. Now if you change any field, which is also used in any charecteristics in release, it will lead to reset of release startegy.

Release Strategy ME53N - Approver rejection

Dear all,
I would like to generate a change history report based on approvers choice on Release Strategy in ME53N. The thing is I can't find any table where rejections are stored when a approver doen't release a PR.
I know that in CDPOS I can find wich ones were released, but what about when it is rejected?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Alm.

Thanks again, Eddy.
Not yet what I'm looking for, here is an example:
Consider a PR XXXX with the Release Strategy flow - CG-F3-FM.
In ME53N we can see:
CG - Green Check Icon (approver released)
F3 - Green Check Icon (approver released)
FM - Yellow Icon (Waiting Approval) However I know this approver has rejected the PR in the past, but the System only shows that this approval is pending - the system does not inform the existing rejection.
Where to find that behind this yellow icon there is already one rejection?
Thanks in advance.

Reject a po from release strategy in workflow

Hi all,
For Purchasing document Release strategy, if a purchase order is rejected by the approver then it should go back to the originator of the document.
I am trying for this scenario for that my configuration is
     Business object is Bus2012
     Workflow template is WS 20000075
In this configuration, I used the originator name in activity (Release of purchase order cancelled )& under this activity I am using the task is TS20000167
But after configure this all thing I am not able to get mail inside the originator mail box
I want to know following thing
     How approver can reject the po
     What setting we can do for getting the mail inside the originator mail box
Regards
Giridhar

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the comments. Below is our actual scenario:
When we did the setup, we did the following:
1. Create a release code
2. Create a position
3. Attach the release code to the position
4. Create a role
5. Attach the position to the role
6. Attach the role to users A and B
When user A resigned, we did the following:
1. Deactivate user A and put "Valid Up to" date.
   We even removed his email address from his account
2. Detach the role from user A
After which, notifications are still being sent to this deactivated users. The said notifications are actually those that happened before he left and this is what Im trying to solve. This is creating too much records in SOST and the system is sending the same notifications over and over.
Do you have any suggestions how to solve this?
Thanks

Release Strategy in Purchase Order

Hi,
Can any explain the usage of Release Strategy in Purchase Order.
ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
Release strategy works the same way in purchasing documents (i.e. PR and PO). It is a form of control that company use to control the purchases made.
In your scenario, a PO release strategy is used to control the PO release status for Good Receipt process. Once the PR is released by the relevant releaser, you will see that the PR is now unblocked for issuance of PO.
Once the PO is issued with reference to the PR, it is now blocked again by a release strategy for user to perform Goods Issue. The releaser will evaluate the PO issued and determine if it is necessary to be released for GR / Service Acceptance process. At this stage, the releaser can still reject the PO although issued, and hence GR / Service Acceptance is not able to be performed. Different value will trigger different set of release strategy with different level of approvals, depending on how the PO release strategy is configured by the MM functional consultant. Usually, the PO release strategy has a flatter approving level as compared to PR release strategy, reason being that once the PR has been fully released by all releaser and the PO issued, usually the purchase is deemed necessary and PO releaser would usually consider to release the PO for GR or Service Acceptance process, unless there is discrepancy or sudden change in decision of Management.
Hence, all in all, the PO release strategy act as another form of control to the company to restrict the release of PO for GR or Service Acceptance.
Hope this will give u a better understanding on the function of a PO release strategy.

Purchase order release strategy Workflow not working

Hi All,
I am working on PO Approval release strategy and it is not working fine . The release strategy set up is configured by my functional consultant . I just copied the standard workflow template WS20000075 and making changes to my custom workflow template . When ever po is created an event "RELEASESTEPCREATED" get triggered and the first approver receives an workitem and when he approves it goes to Second Approver and it is working fine . But when rejected then a notification email goes to initiator . Now when an initiator login into ME22N and made any changes ( even material text change ) in it then again "RELEASESTEPCREATED" event getting triggered . But I need to trigger my workflow only when there is change in PO Net value .
Kindly help me how to achieve this functionality .
Thanks and regards
Dilip

Hi Vikram,
There is already an existing entry for BUS2012 with event CHANGED against the change doc EINKBELEG .
Acutlly when login as initiator and try to change PO through ME22N here are my observations :
case 1: When Buyer click on " Cancel Reject " button and do any changes ( even text change ) then RELEASESTEPCREATED and CHANGED events are triggering . But since the event linkaged is set to RELEASESTEPCREATED workflow get restarted again.
Even the CHANGE event does'nt have 'RELEASECODE' as parameter to restart workflow .
Case 2: When Buyer doesn't click on " Cancel Rejection" buttion and do any changes then only CHANGE event get triggered
which do nothing since there is no event linkage .
Is to click on " Cancel Reject" button mandatory ? . But even though we make " Cancel Reject" as Button mandatory then RELEASESTEPCREATED Button triggering for any change but we need to trigger it for only net Value change .
Thanks and regards,.

PR/PO Release Strategy

Hi All,
Actually there is a requirement where i need for options in PR/PO release strategy.
The four options that i need are
>Approve
>Cancel
>Recommend to approve
>Recommend to reject
The SAP provided standard options are approve and cancel.
How can i add the two other options in the standard workflow?
pls let me know.
Thanks n Regards,
Raj

The standard workflow does not have any user decision step having two buttons approve and reject
but it directly opens up ME29N.
so first you wil have to remove this dialog step from the workflow which opens ME29N
then keep your decision step with four buttons and handle the outcomes

ME54N Release strategy question over delivery tolerance limits

I set up a release strategy base on the over delivery tolerance level. My problem is when a Purchase requisition is saved as rejected, and i click on the button cancel reject it deletes the last release strategy level because now it is looking at the actual total value disregarding the over delivery tolerance level.
It works fine when the Purchase requisition is not rejected, and i can cancel or reject the purchase requisition without saving it and it does not delete the last line of the release strategy taking into account the over delivery tolerance level. I am using the user exit ZXM06U13.
Can someone give me some insight into this ? Thanks.

Hi Siva:
You should request the development key for this structure under your SAP system, then you can add the extra fields in CEKKO.
Good luck

How to approve or release a Custom workflow release strategy using a prog.

Hi There,
I am working with a custom transaction with release strategy using custom workflow. I am done with the module pool and workflow templates. And also I can able to start workflow using the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
My actual Issue is I have set of buttons in the module pool screen with names Approve (1 to 5) and Reject (1 to 5). When I press the "Approve 1" release strategy of the first person need to approved. Is there any Function Module or Classes for approving the workflow release strategy using buttons in screen.
Thanks in advance,
Viruman

Hi
Make use of the function module SAP_WAPI_DECISION_COMPLETE. To this function moduel pass the workitem ID and pass decision parameter value as 0001 for approve and 0002 for rejection action. You can check in this forum with this function module you will find lot of threads.
If its not a decision step then you can make use of SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM or SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_COMPLETE.
Regards

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 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
suresh

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.

FRGKE   Release ind. = B
FRGZU   Release status = <blank>
mean, this PO yet to approve/ rejected.
FRGKE   Release ind. = R
FRGZU   Release status = X
means, this PO has been approved.
Hope this helps
