Release Stratergy User in Purchase Req.

Hi Friends,
We are using user exit to determine the Purchase Req. Approvers. In ME52N/ME53N under the Release Strategy Tab there is a table which shows the Approver name and description against each Release code. In our case we have multiple approvers against each release code, but the system show only one against release code, Is there any way to show all the approvers there(i.e.multiple rows against each release code).
To be precise all I want is that my Purchase Req. Release Strategy tab should show all the approvers along with release codes .Please advise.
Regards
Sapient

Hi ,
I think what you are looking for has little to do with the worlflow. All you want is that your Purchase Req. Release tab should show all the approvers along with release codes .
The idea is good but is not possible using user exit or workflow . You can go in for implicit enhancement for displaying all the possible approvers in the ME54N transcation.
How workflow can help here is by passing the relevant Work item to all the approvers.
Regards
Gautam

MM Workflow - Purchase Req Release

Hi,
I have set-up MM Workflow to notify a user to release outstanding reqs. I used BUS2105/TS20000159 This works as expected. However the business want a summary of the req details to appear in the message. The standard message has no description. It just shows the Purchase Req No in the Subject Line.
I was hoping to call BUS2105 ->Method->PurchaseRequisition.GetDetail1. This calls BAPI: BAPI_PR_GETDETAIL and would give me the details I require. I would then populate this data in the body of the message.
I am pretty new to Work Flow and was hoping you could guide me in the steps required to achieve this please?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Phil

Hi,
Firstly create a workflow container element of type as key parameter in the business object
1 .Create a step in the workflow
2. Create a task in the workflow
3. Assign the businees object in the task..
4. Create a container element in the task
5. Create binding between the TASK and METHOD of business object
6. Create binding between Workflow container element and Task Container element.
7. Then in Basic data of workflow ( HAT ICON) go to start events and assign the business object
and the event which has to trigger the workflow.
8. Create a step called mail so as to know whether it has triggered the workflow when the Business
object had triggered.
or
Switch on the event trace (SWELS) and check the event trace SWEL... if the workflow is triggered you would find reciever as workflow..
If you still have to view graphically the goto
Tutorials> Business Workflow> and see the topic how to create activity step in the workflow.
Hope this would help you.

Creating Roles for Purchase Req. release strategy with classification

Hi friends,
Since I have created Purchase req rel strategy where I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 When value <= 5000 (Officer) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r1 and rel code L1
2 For Plant 1 When value >= 5000 (Manager) will release , release code 01 release release strategy r2and rel code L2
Now the manager will have 2 release code,if officer is absent he could release the requisition.
Same has to be done for plant 2
The release Group and code needs to be assigned to the Roles , could anybody tell me where i could know about roles and will be able to create roles and assign authorisation objects to the Roles , and release group and code to the enduser.
though its a basis job , since I have no idea , I mean I have never worked with Roles ,as now I have created the Release strategy with classification I need to assign authorisation objects to the Roles as I have four release strategy
1. For Plant 1 lower value of requisition 1 codeL1(Officer)
2 For higher value of requisition 2 code say Li and L2(Manager)
Manager should have 2 codes if officer is absent he could release
Same has to be done for Plant 2
Thanks N Regards
Siddhartha

Hii,
Steps:
1) Create a Role
2) Add the authorization Object M_EINK_FRG by taking the manual option
3) Assign Release Code and Release Grp
4) Assign the Role to the User ID which has the authorization of the Release Code and Grp.

Purchase order Release Stratergy-Error in Class CL01

Purchase Order Release Stratergy:
In CL01(create class) i have created the class FRG_EKKO and saved.Then in CL02(change class) under Basic data-Administrative data we found Assignment field tick is not selected and that is not in changeable mode.
Because of that reason Error occured like Error in Class in SPRO release stratergy. Release is taking place in Development Server but not in Production server.
Regards,
Wilson Babu G

Hi
This indicator shows that objects are assigned to this class.
The indicator is set automatically by the system.
once you assign the class to any objects then this flag will come automatically.
Please check if you have assigned the characteristics to the Class in CL02
Please check if you have assigned the release strategy to the Class in CL24N
Thanks & Regards

Purchase req release through workflow

Hi all,
         i am under the process of releasing purchase req in workflow its a overall release there are two business objects for that one is bus2009 and the other is 2105 actually 2105 is for overall release but there are no attributes for that particular object if i need to add any value as expression in my mail do i need to create my own attribute or is there any other way to handle this.....
Thanks

The required value that is required for Release is Release Code. If you are using Standard Wflow then this is passed along with event only you have to make sure you have proper configuration in SPRO. The PR number gets passed automatically thu event. You can make use of Workflow Template WS00000038.
Any custom stuff you can code in Attribute but in that case you have to create a subtype of standard Business object and then code in it and then delegate it. You can delegate by
SWO1->Give Business Object Name->Settings->Delegate
Check this link for programming related to attributes

Purchase Requistion Release Stratergy

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to get the details of the classification Net total in purchase Requistion for the particluar Release Stratergy and Release Group from the relevant table for raising an event manually in work flow, which I am uable to trace out.Please help in this regard for identifying the tables which holds the data of the Net value for the same.
Thanks in Advance for your Help
Regards,
Krishna Mukthineni

Hi Krishna,
the classifications of the release strategy is best read via the API (interfaces) for the class system. To get quick results and to check, if your designed process could be working at all, you could hard-code the class' name and it's characteristics. Later on -- to be more precisely -- you should read the class name from the customizing and the characteristic definition from the class system.
To get an example of how SAP determines the release strategy from the classification (which is kinda the other way round), you may consult the following function modules/coding sections:
Function module ME_REL_COM_STRATEGY_EBAN
--> Form strategie_neu
->-> Function module CLSC_SELECT_OBJECTS
To see the usage of this function module within your system, you could set a break-point there and create/change a requisition in your system.
The internal table iausp holds the values of the characteristics.
The referenced characteristic you'll be possibly looking for is based on CEKKO-GNETW
Best regards,
Florin

User based authorization to create Purchase Orders out of Purchase Req.?

Hello,
I have the following requiment for my client:
User based authorization to create Purchase Orders out of Purchase Req.?
I am told the same can be achieved using same standard menu path in IMG/Customizing.
Please advise with the menu path and detials, Usefull answers will be rewarded.
Thanks

Using OMET Function Authorization, you can restrict users to create Purchase orders without Purchase Reqn.
Using OMET trxn code Create one Function Authorixation Called pr and in General Parameters tab Select the Field Selection and in Possible reference Objects Tab Mark the With ref to Prs check box and save.
Next, you've got to associate via SU01
Click Parameters, insert a new parameter id EFB to the authorization code.
Type in Parameters value you want e.g. XX
You have to assign the control for ALL the SAP buyers via thier SAP users id.
Logoff and login again. Then try to create a Purchase Order without a reference.
From Next time whenever you try to create with out referring PR it will not allow you to Save PO.

Ashok

Purchase Req Release Reset After Addition of New Component in Service Order

Hello,
We have a scenario where we create a service order, add some operations, and then some components to the operations. Note that we are set up to use the same purchase req for all components so all components, regardless of operation, are on the same req.
We then release all lines on the purchase req and continue on to convert to purchase orders. In some cases, the PO's are then received.
Now, it is discovered that we need to add addtional components to the same service order so we do that. These new components are added to the original purchase req. Upon saving the service order, all of the previously released lines have reverted back to unreleased. Very frustrating since some of the req lines are already converted to purchase orders.
Note that the changability flag is set to 4 for our release indicator.
We are at a loss as to how to fix this. Anyt insights are appreciated.
Regards,
Greg

Hello All,
Thank you for your replies.
@Sebastien: We are using collective PR's. If we cannot solve, we will entertain individual PR's
@Maheswaran: It's MM from the PR perspective but since it is only happening when the PR's are tied to the service order, I asked here. We are releasing at the line level of the PR.
@Linganna: Are you talking about an enhancement to create individual PR's? That is taken care of in configuration, no?
Thanks again and regards,
Greg

How we can get the release stratergy for company code 3000
Under Release Strategy , if you go to details , You will find Classification Tab, Under that, You need to maintain the Plant 3001 and required document type.
Then When you do the P.O for the combination of that Document type and Plant Release strategy can be pick up.
You can maintain the same through transaction code CL20N.
by giving the class type.

How to decativate/hide "ACTIVATE RESERVATION/PURCHASE REQ" button in order

Dear PM guys,
For all order types, Purchase req/Reservation should get created after release of order and config done based on that.
But in the order creation/change screen one icon named "ACTIVATE RESERVATION/PURCHASE REQ" is there(next to put in process).If I press the button then Purchase requistion/reservations are created without release.What is way to deactivate/hide this button.As per the previous posts,I have tried SHD0 and not able to suceed.Pl help me.
Regards
ISWARI

Iswari,
Please lookup the same in SDN beofre requesting the same information. Here a copy from one of my previoys post.Hope this helps.
Shlomo,
The transaction code for this is SHD0.
Transaction variants are basically one of the POWERFUL methods to personlize standard sap transactions based on business requirements, without any coding. They are basically used to assign Default values to a screen field,Hiding menu function keys and for things that cannot be done through Configuration.
Basically the transaction will walk through a recording process and after each screen the screen fields, Function keys will be provided for you to assign a default value for a field and all the other normal field selection attributes.
After completing the above, you can assign this variant as a standard variant for the standard transaction IW31/IW32.
Hence in you case, on the initial screen enter the Existing transaction code IW31 and also enter a variant name for the same ex: ZIW31.Once you do that and hit enter the transaction will be called and screen will be displayed for you to enter values like order type,equipment, FL etc. Once you fill the screen and hit enter again to navigate to the header screen of the order, a popup will be shown with all the field names relevant for the initial creation screen along with the field attributes.Here is where you can set the attributes for the field(Like defaulting the order type to PM01 always, Highlighting). After you enter the attributes you can continue to move forward and personlize the remaining screens as required. Once you have personalised all the screen you can save the details and exit out.
Once you are done with this,If you want to apply this customisation globally across the transaction,You can set this variant as a "STANDARD VARIANT" (look for the same on the menu of the transaction).Now when you call IW31, this particular variant will be called up.Obviously there can be only one "STANDARD VARIANT" for the transaction.
However if you do not want to apply this generally across the, you can assign a custom transaction code to this varaint for ex: ZIW31 or even name it as per the business process for easier usage.
This will have to be done by a user with developer access and it can be transported up to Production box from the Dev box.
I hope this will help you to accomplish what you are looking for. You can find more detailed information in the follwong 46C link.I am sure the same would exists in ECC 6.0

Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated

Hi:
I want to creat a new external activity，but the Purchase req. for activity/element cannot be generated. The Messagr No. is CN705.
I checked the network activity,I fount that the"Reservation/ Purchase Requisition" be setted option 2 ( From Release). I want this should be with option 3 (immediately).
I have checked network profile , the option 3 (immediately) is setted.
Is there any other place where we set this setting. Please share your valuable opinion.
Best Regards.

Hi,
If it is appearing in display mode only (It must be made to "display" only in SPRO at Field settings for Network) then it is not possible for the users to change it in the operative project. If you have made the changes in the Network profile for Pur.reqn. after the Project / NWA is created and released then create a fresh Network /activity and check.

Bala.

How to Change attachment URL on a Purchase Req?

Attachments in the EBP shopping carts are transferred to an ITS server and are linked to a back end R/3 Purchase Requisition.
Note that the attachments are physically stored on ITS server and the link (URL) to the attachment and Purchase Req is stored in SAP.
As a part of decommissioning, the server which was used for storing attachments is replaced with a new server and all the attachments are moved to new server.
Since the link associated to the Purchase Req and attachment is not changed, when user is trying to open the Purchase Req attachment, it is not displaying becuase all the attachments are moved to new server.
How to change the link (URL) in the Purchase Req so that it will point out to the new server instead of old server.
Due to the following reasons manually changing the URL is not advisable.
1) 40,000 attachments link need to be changed.
2) System is not allowing to change the URL manually because of the user differences. All the attachment links are attached to Purchase Reqs by RFC user (since these are transferred from EBP environment).
Please advise what should be the feasible solution to change the URL (link) on the Purchase Req so that business can open the attachment with no issues.
Thanks in advance

According to SAP, since purchase order is a legal document they do not support the process of changing document number. They suggested I do the change with debug and replace at my own risk. In ME22N go to debug and type MEPO_TOPLINE-BEDAT. The values for this field show up as 29991231 that should be changed to 20191231 and press F8, then save the purchase order.

Goods recipient field not available when creating a service purchase req

We are trying to create a release strategy for purchase requisitions with acount assignments K, F and P. The release strategy would use the requisitioner and goods recipient fields to determine the release group. The issue is when creating a purchase req with item category D for any account assignment, the recipient field cannot be populated. It is greyed out. I tried setting the field as mandatory in the IMG at the account assignment level but it doesn't prompt me for a recipient if item category D is entered. Is there a way to allow this field to be populated? I don't care if the value is transferred to the purchase order but I need it populated to determine the appropriate release strategy. We are not using workflow so that is not an option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Srinivas, I appreciate the response but the requisitioner field is not the problem. I can set that field to mandatory. The issue is I cannot populate the recipient field that's located on the account assignment tab of the purchase req. The recipient field can be populated if the item category field is blank but as soon as I populate the item category with D for service, the recipient field is unavailable. Is there a way to populate this field when the item category is D?

Trigger CIF during custom field change on Purchase Req. and PO

Hi,
We added a custom date field in Purchase Req. and Purchase Order transactions (ME52N/ME22N) in ECC. When this custom field gets changed along with any other standard field, outbound CIF process happens. However, when we change this custom field only, then outbound CIF doesn't happen. I believe we need change pointers and may be custom code to trigger outbound CIF. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to achieve this functionality.
Thanks.
Naveen

Hello Naveen,
Use user exit EXIT_SAPLMEAP_001 here, the structure CIFPUORCUS must be enhanced with custom fields so that the document date can be included (IT_OUTPUT_CUS).transferred to CT_MM_DOC. You need to fill EBAN and EKPO for change transfer. Also you can have the background job for RIMODINI to transfer the changes.
