Sachin,
As SAP standard, release strategy will be reset if:
- the changeablity of relesae indicator set to '4' incase of PR and '4' or '6' in case of another purchasing doc (PO, RFQ, contract)
-the document stii subject to previous release strategy
-the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher then the old one
For release strategy reset in PO i suggest to use user exit.

Release strategy should refresh when deleted PR is undeleted .

Hi all,
My client requires as below for PR's,
The PR release strategy should get to intial at any stage if the PR is released for some releae codes earlier, deleted & after the PR is undeleted.
Regards
Ashish

This cannot be achieved through standard release strategy configuration.
Basically the requirement is any change on PO price should result in blocking of the PO. You can create a custom field in the PO header that will function as a Price Change Indicator. Add this indicator to the release class and trigger the release strategy when the Price Change indicator is set to "Yes". Populating this custom field with value "Yes / No" should be carried out using a user-exit by invoking it in the PO change transaction.

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.
Kind regards,

PR/PO release strategy should be revoked

Hi Experts,
How to revoke the release of a PR /PO if value is decreased. In standard only value increase will revoke the release strategy. I am having overall release of a PR.

Release Strategy should be effected even if the PO Price is lowered?

Hi users,
Another doubt of mine is based on the release strategy (the Purchase order goes for rerelease) only in case of the increase in the PO Order Price (that is if the price is manually increased in a PO or if it indirectly increased by the increase in quantity)
Requiremnent: the current requirement is the po should go for a rerelease even if there is a decrease in the po price. alternately any change in the PO effecting a rerelease would also be acceptable.
anticipating an rearly answer.
thanks and regards
vinay

This is standard SAP. Release strategy will be reset only on increase in value. You have to make the release strategy think that the value has increased (even if it has decreased).
Please see (the second part of) my comment in
Re: release strategy is not reset in PO?
Reproduced here for your ease:
You can use the release user exit. If the PO is in change mode and Save option is selected, then increase the value in the user exit (This does not increase the PO value actually, just fools the release strategy into thinking that the value has increased).
Hope this resolves.

Release strategy should trigger in different systems EHP7 and ECC6

Hi All,
At our client side some are using ECC 6 and few are on EHP7.We need to define the release strategy in a such a way that both the user can approve the PR in cross system.For example- user A is using ECC6 and he created PR ,now he need to take approval from his manager and manager is using the system EHP7 in such scenario-
how does the system understand who is the approver?
How to maintain the same user in both the system? so that approval process can not be disturb .
What about the release code ? how to define release code in both system for single release strategy
Thanks

Hello,
1st thanks for reply.
We have ECC 6.0 as live system but getting used in only A & B country.We bought new fresh,blank system EHP7 for C county. We defined release strategy in EHP7 but we have HR module in ECC6 .So all portions are defined in ECC 6.
For example- I am creating PR in EHP7 & last level approver is in ECC 6 .
The issue is, in the ECC 6 system how will he get the email notification of approval mail.?in EHP7 there is no HR module configured.
Thanks,
Snehal

Release strategy of PO creation under contract

Hi,
if PO creation without any contract, release strategy is required. However, if PO is created from contract, no release strategy should be used. Pls advice how to configure it. thanks

The best option is you differentiate the PO document type i.e. create a seperate document type (ZNB) for those PO which are created wrt contract...Now while creating PO release strategy use PO document type (BSART) as one of the characteristic and there don't use this new PO document type (ZNB)

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 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 be reset for any change in purchase order

Hi Experts,
At present the release strategy configured is for any change in the value of the purchase order, the release strategy is reset. Now the the client wants that for even any text change of a word, text, quantity, value, addition, deletion the release strategy should be reset.
Can any one guide to configure the release strategy for any change. Also please provide the list of standard parameters/scenario (E.g. change of price, change of quantity etc) for which the release strategy can be configured to be reset.
Thanks in advance.
AJ

Hi Diwakar,
I too have the same problem. I tried with Changeable indicator "1". The system does not allow to make any change to the Purchase Order even after the first level of Release. But the requirement is that the system should Reset the Release Strategy for even minor Change in the PO.

Reg.Release strategy for particular vendor

Dear Friends
We have 500 vendors, the release strategy is aplies to all but the Release strategy should not be applied for particular one vendor.
that is w/o release strategy that vendor has to work(if we raise PO the release strategy should not be applied)
Pls help me
Thanks
Rajakumar.K

Vendor master is dynamic and if you define it as a character value, then you need to keep on adding the vendor numbers.
as and when the new vendor is created.
if you use the purchasing group as a character, then what happens if another user creates PO with different purchase group.
you need to think about the below options.
1. Define release process based on purchase group XX as suggested by many , but use BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST
and write the logic in such a way that, do not allow to save PO if the purchase group is not equal to XX.
2. Use BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and write your logic in such a way that for that vendor it should not refer table CEKKO

Release strategy for PO and Service Entry Sheet

Hi
I maintain characteristics- Plant, Doc Type , Order Value & Purchasing Group for PO release strategy.
should I maintain the same characteristics for service entry sheet ?
the approval will be the same for both

Hi,
The Po reselase strategy can be set up separately from the entry sheet release strategy, so you can use even different characteristics for your entry sheet release strategy. These are not connected!
Please read note 672719 question 5 - How can I set up a release procedure for service entry sheets?
Note: The release strategy must be based on the structure CESSR.
The PO release strategy is based on the structure CEKKO.
For the SEs release strategy you must create a different class.

Contract Release strategy

Dear Guru,
We have three types of contracts like A type, B type, C type......with these three types of contracts we have release strategy with different conditions.
               For A type of contract : Release Strategy should trigger on cost center and value base.
               For B Type of Contract : Same conditons like above.
               For C type of contract : it should trigger on duration base like.....if contract create for one year itshould trigger manager........if one year to two years it should trigger to director........if above two years it should trigger to CEO.
          This is my requirement.....how to configure this pls explain me.
Best Regards,
Bhaskar.

Hi,
You can only have one class and so you will have to use all of the characteristics from each type of check that you want.
So you would need a characteristic of Cost centre, one for Value and one for start and end date. (in addition to whatever characteristic you are using to determine if the contract is type A, B or C.)
With the release strategies you need to ensure that for type A and B contracts the date range characteristic is not checked and so you need to specify that all date ranges are included (so if the difference between the two dates is one day to 999 years).
then on the release strategy for the type C contract, make sure that the cost centre and value characteristics are set to include all too (so cost centre 0000 to ZZZZ and value from 0.01 to 9999999, if you don't want either to be checked).
this should work, the basic idea is that you ahev to have ALL characteristics included in every strategy but you use the values to make sure that you ignore certain characteristics in certain situations.

Can a release strategy be based on a formula?

Hi,
A retail client i'm working on wants the release strategy PO to be based on a formula, i.e. the release strategy should have OTB check.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
Thanks, I didn't know what OTB means.
I do not know how this OTB is maintained in the system (is it development?) but I assume it should be stored in a data table (data tables). If it is so, I think you should be able to extract it (this data) via the ABAP code in the mentioned user exit - but this is just my opinion, it's better you ask your ABAPer to check it in a sandbox system.

Csaba
