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 or work flow in BI Content

    Hi !
    Do we have Release Strategy or work flow in BI Content of BW Release 3.5 ?
    I have to display a history of purchasing requisitions and orders that was uploaded from SRM.
    Thanks !!!
    Zelda

    You have to carry on the following activites:
    1) Define Organisation Struture
    2) Application specific customizing
    A) Define Characteristic values
    B) Define release codes and make them Workflow relevant
    C) Define release strategy
    Based on the characteristic values the Purchase Order will be applied to a particular release
    strategy and will fall under specific catagory to pass through different level of approvals
    D) Assign release codes to corresponding Orgnisational Objects with ID
    3) Task specific customizing
    A) Activate the event linkage for the standard workflow WS20000075
    B) Do the agent assignment for the TS20000166
    C) Make other two tasks as General Tasks (TS20000168,TS20000167).
    4) Delete the row for event "Releasestepcreated" from SWEC (OSS Notes: 797775)
    Hope this will help you

  • Release strategy not working - no multiple releases

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your help.
    I have resolved that issue.
    Now I am facing another problem.I am having release strategy with release codes R1,R2,R3,R4.
    For certain amount say 1-99 I need only R1 approval.
    and 100-199 the Po should go to R2 approval only and for 200-299 it should go to R3 level approver.But for amount >300 PO need both R3 and R4 approval.The PO should go for R4 Release after R3 Release.
    R1,R2,R3 levels are working fine as the PO goes only at one level.But for R4 it not working.
    The users are selected based on the roles assigned.
    I am using a Ztable to get the roles where release code,group and roles are populate.
    For each Release code are assigned Say for R1 it is ZR1 and R2 it is ZR2 etc...for each level the users selected based on roles say for R1 ---users will have roles ZR1.
    But at R4 level I need to select the users for both ZR3 and ZR4.
    When I am triggering the WF using Purchase order as Po number and Release code as R4 it is not selecting R3 roles.
    I am using the user exit for the user determination based on roles.
    Can anyone please help me on how to resolve this.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Sujoy!
    Thanks for the resolution.
    My question is: Currently, plant is set as one of the characteristic in the release strategy. Hence, this problem!!
    Now, we need to remove this "plant" and maybe consider including Company code or Purchase organization as the characteristic.
    1. Pl tell me how to implement this?

  • Release strategy not working

    Hi All,
    I am working on a release procedure.All the release procedure configurations  have been done for PO release .I have modified the user exit that determines the approvers which is a part of role 2000027 and I am using the standard WF 20000075 itself.
    But after that when I creating a PO it is not triggering the WF.
    When I am test the WF in SWUS by giving PO number and release code,its working fine.
    But when I am Creating PO from ME21N workitem is not going to the user.
    Can anyone please help me to resolve this.
    Thanks
    Raju

    Does the PO have any Release Strategy tab in the Header of the PO. If not then your Release strategy is not configured in SPRO. Search this forum for configuration
    2)If the PO has Release Strategy tab then please check in SWE2 whether the Linkage between the event and Workflow is activated. If not activate it. Also please check entries in SWEL Transaction code.
    Thanks

  • Release Strategy not working for MRP generated PR

    I have one qurey. Currently we are release strategy for normal PR.Now client want to activate release strategy for MRP generated PR.

    For MRP generated PR I add creation indicator B - Material requirements Planning.Even after add creation indicator release strategy is not triggering for PR.
    To trigger PR any setting need to do other than add creation indicator.
    Regards
    Sathish

    Hi
    You don't have to include creation indicator as parameter. Check in what documnet type MRP PR is generated. You can see it in t.code OMDT. At document type level also you can manage it. You need to include creation indicator only if a seperate person approves MRP generated PR.
    To know how to configure release procedure see the below link

  • PR (Header level) release strategy not working

    Hi all,
      I have configured release procedure for PR - Header level release(i.e. With classification). My scenario is as below,
    If  PR value is <=1000 INR and Plant 1000 Two persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1 and A2.
    If  PR value is >1000 INR and Plant 1000 Three persons will release the PR. I.e., Release codes A1,A2 and A3.
    i have created Two charac(for Plant and Value), one class(Assigned the characs to it), one group, 3 release codes, and 2 Release stratergies (i.e.S1 and S2). All the settings are fine. But when I create PR, system takes only the first Release stratergy by default. That is irrespective of the valuation price in PR system by default takes S1 release stratergy only. Even for higher value PR system is not taking S2 stratergy. I have given correct values in the classification field. Why does this happen? Release procedure without classification is not configured.
    Note:  I have even ticked overall release for document type NB
    Any inputs? Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ayyappan.

    Hi all,
    One thing is clear now. System is not all considering the value characteristics. Its only considering Plant character(WERKS). Thats why by default its taking first release stratergy since both have plant value as 1000 in classification view.
    Just now i checked by using sinlge character. For release class with plant as character the release procedure is working fine but for  class with value as character release is not at all getting hit.
    Note:
    1.My company code currency is EUR. My characteristic currency is USD. While i create PR in valuation price system by default selects EUR. I am manually changing it to USD. Is that correct?
    2. Still my new posting period is not yet open.
    Is there the problem is somethig related to above?

  • Release Strategy Triggered even if the characteric values were not correct.

    Hi,
    I have configured release strategy based on characteristics
    Purchasing group and
    Document type
    It has 2 release indicators with 3 levels of release.
    There are 2 release strategies assigned to same group 01 but have  different release codes namely 01,02,03,04
    Release Strategy A1has
    Doc type NB and Purchasing group 120
    Release Strategy A2 has
    Doc type ZINT and Purchasing groups 130,131,132,134,135,136,137,138,139
    However a strange thing happened.The release strategy was triggered for doc type NB and Purchasing group 190.
    This purchasing group is not listed in either of the 2 strategies 
    Can any one explain why the release strategy got triggered?

    That means the old release strategy is not cleraed from the system
    do one test
    Go to CL30N tocde and enter you release class and class type 032
    hit enter
    now here enter the value of your char which is in the PO and hit Find in initial class from header
    see which release strategy is pulled by the system
    here you will see the release strategy and make sure that is not other than what you expect

  • PO Release Strategy not triggerred for particular Total Net Order Value

    Dear,
    I am currently facing the issue where release strategy for purchase orders is not getting triggered for a particular value or lower.
    For order value 1 INR or less, no release strategy is triggered for new created PO. And for value > 1 INR release strategy is getting triggered.
    All otehr PO characterstics are the same, I mean to say the values for other characterstics such as plant material group are identical.
    But the characterstics for release for Total net order value are <= 30000 INR. There are two system copies, where in one system the same release strategy is working as expected. But in other system the above mentioned issue occurs. There is no differnce which I can see in the release strategy setup.
    Please suggest for solution.
    Thank you.
    Warm Regards.

    Dear All,
    While looking further into the issue by going into debugging mode, we have found that in include LCLSCF2I, Internal table p_selection_criteria_tab , the value for ATFLV (Internal Floating point from) gets different values in the two systems. For example, in the affected system, for PO with 1INR tottal value, for one of the Total value chaaracterstics before INR characterstic, ATFLV value is 0,0000000000000000E+00, hence it gets out of loop and doesn't trigger release strategy.
    But in another system for same PO values and release setup, ATFLV value is 1,0000000000000000E+00 for that characterstic.
    May I know how the value for this field gets calculated.
    Thank you.
    Warm Regards.

  • Po release strategy - if value decreased

    Dears,
    If the Po value is decreased, I need the release strategy to be re triggered. As I know in standard its not possible. But can you help Is there any BADI or user exits can be used to accomplish this task.
    Regards
    Kamesh

    Hi,
    Use release indicator '4' or '6" during designing of release strategy.
    And
    If you want PO release strategy should trigger for reduced value ,then you can for User exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 or check to modify standard function module ME_REL_STRATEGIE_EKKO which help to reset existing release strategy for reduced/increased and/or values.
    For more check the SAP note:493900

  • Reset Release Strategy for any change in the Purchase Order

    Hi,
    Is it possible in SAP standards to reset release strategy for even minor changes in the Purchase Order irrespective of whether it is value change or any change in the text or Purchasing group change or whatever it is?
    If so, where do we need to make the configurations.
    I have seen in some thread about resetting the release strategy for decrease in Purchase Order value.Even that was possible through some BAPI.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Item wise release strategy

    Hi Experts,
    I made item wise release strategy and used material group in class ,however when add this CEBAN-MATKL it doesn't find release strategy  when remove this release strategy is working  is it need to add something into material master data ?Need your advice
    Thanks in advance

    create release class, FRG_EBAN is available in system
    create release characterisitics .. here what ever name you give, you have to make it 'reference to table CEBAN' and corresponding CEBAN field , in additional data
    create a release group and attach the release class created
    create release codes, and while doing it you have to specify for which release group it is valid
    create release indicator , here specify the changeability
    create release strategy with release codes, release prerequisites, release statuses etc
    if you are transporting this, in the operational client, using CL24N  assign char values for each characterisitcs of release strategy. ( you need not assign char value when that characterisitic is not present int he document e.g.if account assignment is a char, then for release strategy for document without account assignment should not have any value for that char)
    if you ensure this much your release strategy should work ok

  • PO Release strategy question

    Hi,
    In PO release startegy,
    Plant- XXXX
              YYYY
              BLANK
    Purchase group, Total net order value, order type are the characteristics currently defined.
    PO is created at company code level..with multiple plants-i mean, XXXX, YYYY.
    rekease strategy does not work in case, if line items have account assignment and item category.
    pl help

    CEKKO is a structure for purchase order header.
    The plant in purchase order header is only filled in case of UB stock transport order, where you do not have a vendor, here you would only have the supplying plant.
    You are talking about plant in item level, which is requesting plant, not the supplying plant.
    You can never reach your goal until you CHANGE your design.
    you either create only POs which have only items of one single plant (must be controlled via user exit) or you just cannot have a release strategy that works. It is just black or white.

  • PO release strategy Classification

    Dear all,
    I have a question about PO release strategy would like to ask, hope you can give me some advice.
    I have about ten release strategies which is used for different requirements.
    For each release strateg, there are several Classification.
    I am going to set a new release strategy, which only concern some of the Classifications, for the non-used Classifications, I have set a '*' to be the value, but the release strategy does work.
    I would like to know is it all Classification should be provided a value?
    Many Thanks
    Sunny

    Hello Biju,
    Firstly, many thanks of your idea.
    Let me make an example.
    I have a clasification (GROUP 1) which has predefined values ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', ' ' ), and this clasification was already used in many release strategys.
    A release strategy is defined to trigger the release when the value of the clasification (GROUP 1) is value 'A' and a release strategy is defined to trigger the release when the value of the clasification (GROUP 1) is value 'B' ..etc.
    For this new release strategy, it does not concern the values of the clasification (GROUP 1). In my setting, if I set a value '*' in the release classification, the release never triggers. What should I set if I would like to ignore this classification for this release strategy?
    Thanks your advice again
