Release Tab in purchase order disappear after release using ME29n

Hi there,
We are busy testing support stacks (upgrading from ECC6 SAP_APPL SAPKH60305 to SAPKH60307)and we've come accross a strange problem.  When we create a normal purchase order (ME21n) the purchase order does pick up a release strategy.  Using the older ME28 transaction to release this purchase order, everything is fine.  We can use ME28 to release the purchase order, as well as unreleasing the purchase order, as often as we want (the same purchase order).  When we use transaction ME29n the release tab in the purchase order just simply disappears after saving.  In the purchase order header changes, the release change is visible, but the release tab is missing.  This purchase order is now not subject for release, and a goods receipt is possible without release.  I checked in table EKKO as well and the release fields in this table for this purchase order is empty.
Has anybody had a similar experience?  Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Christo Vermeulen

  • Purchase order changes after release

    Hi,
    How can I block a purchase order to any changes after release it and then, in case of need, mark for deletion the purchase order itens?
    Regards,
    Maria

    Hi,
    To block any changes in the purchase order to after release, set Changeability  indicator as 1 for  Release ID "R" in following path & save.:
    SPRO ->MM - Purchasing -> PO -> Rlease Procedure for PO -> Define Release for PO -> Release Indicator
    NOTE:If you set  Changeability  indicator as 3, PO can be changed after release and trigger a  new release strategy based on value changes.

  • 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.

    Select your release strategy and go to Classification , here you chck the parameters in both release strategies and compare with your purchase orders.

    Hi Prasad
    Its simple prasad ur PO is suject to release strategy (Approval process) so the authorized person has to release the PO through the following process -
    Just go to Transaction ME29N or ME28, enter ur PO no.
    If u follow ME28 give ur release grp / code enetr PO no. and execute ur PO will be reflected in the list put the cursor there and press Release+Save Iconit will release the PO and then u will able make the GR.
    If u follow ME29N then give ur PO no. and go to release tab at the header level and press release icon.

    Hi,
    The release code is a two character ID allowing a person to release (clear, or approve) a requisition or an external purchasing document. The release codes is basically controlled via a system of authorizations (authorization object M_EINK_FRG).
    Use SE12, structure CEKKO to check all the fields available for controlling the Purchase Order.
    An example of configuring a Purchase Order Release Strategy
    If the total value for the Purchase Order exceeds 10,000, release strategy 01 is assigned to the Purchase Order. There is only one characteristic created in this example. For controlling the Purchase Order type, create characteristic for CEKKO-BSTYP and the value NB.
    Steps for configuring the PO release strategy
    Create the PO Characteristic
    Transaction code : CT04 - Create Characteristic e.g. NETVALUE
    Click Additional data tabstrips
    Table name CEKKO Field name GNETW and press enter and you will see this information message :-
    Format data taken from Data Dictionary (press enter)
    (for currency dependent field, you are prompt to enter the currency which the system then converts the currency of the Purchasing document into this currency)
    In the Basic data tabsritps (X refers to tick),
    X Mutliple values
    X Interval values
    In the Value data, in the Char. value column, type >=10000 (equal or greater than 10000) and press enter
    Save your data
    Create the Class of the PO Release Strategy
    Transaction code : CL02 - Class
    Class - Create REL_PUR
    Class type - 032
    Click Create button
    Description - Release Procedure for Purchase Order
    In the Same Classification section, click Check with error
    In the Char. (characteristic) tabstrips, type NETVALUE to assign your characteristics to the class
    Save your data and this message will appear :-
    Class type 032: Class REL_PUR created
    Define the Release Procedure
    OMGS - Define Release Procedure for Purchase Order Type
    Release Group - New entries
    Rel.group Rel. Object Class Description
    02 REL_PUR Rel. Strategy for PO
    Save your entries.
    Release codes - New entries
    Grp Code
    02 01
    Save your entries.
    Release indicators - New entries
    Release indicators Release Description
    0 Blocked
    1 X Release
    Save your entries
    Release Strategy - New entries
    Release group 02
    Rel.strategy 01 - Release
    Release codes 01
    Release status 0 - Blocked
    1 - Release
    Click the Release prerequisities button
    Click the Relase statuses button the click the Continue button
    Click the Classification button
    Choose your check values
    Click the Back button
    Save your entries
    Check your PO release configuration
    Finally, check your PO Release Strategy configuration to make sure that there are no errors.
    OMGSCK - Check Release Strategies
    (make sure there are no error messages)
    Once the Purchase Order is not release, buyers will not be able to print the Purchase Order.
    Goods Receipts will be shown with Message no. ME 390 - Purchasing document XXXXXXX not yet released.
    In 4.6c, Purchase Order with Release Strategy have a tabs at the end of the Header. This allowed the buyers to check the release status of the Purchase Order.
    The person with the release authorization have to use ME28 to release the Purchase Order.

  • Define Release Procedure for Purchase Orders

    Hi Friends,
    We are changing Release procedure for purchase orders for one department from > $ 5000 to > $ 10000.
    We defined three characteristics for the class namely Purchasing Order Document, Purchasing Order Type and Ner Order Value which is Currency data type. I Defined Release Procedure for Purchase Orders in configuration master. It's working fine, I mean the Net order Value field is updated in Configuration Client.
    After transporting the above change to the Testing Client, the Net Order Value field did not update in testing Client even though I created Characteristics in Testing Client (as characters are not transportable, I created them seperately in Testing Client). I can't update the Net Order Value manually in Testing Client as it says "Client 010 (test) has status 'not modifiable' "
    Please tell me how to update that field, as the net order value didn't change even after transport. I can't change manually in testing Client as the status is "not modifiable"

    Hi,
    Yes I have already done that.
    In SPRO,
    After hitting the following:-
    MM --> Purchasing --> Purchase Order --> Release Procedure for Purchase Orders --> Define Release procedre for Purchase Orders
    I have to process the objects in the following sequence,
    Release Group, Release Code, Release Indicator, Release Strategy & Workflow.
    Upto Release Indicator it is fine. After hitting Release Strategy, I should select the release strategy (which I just created) and display. Then 4 buttons will be displayed namely,
    Release Prerequisites, Release statuses, Classification, Release simulation.
    Upto Release statuses it's fine. Afeter hitting Classification,
    the values of Purchase document & Order type are populated, but the Total Net Order Value is Blank. It is supposed to populate the amount & 10,000. But it is not.
    Actually that amount will be stored in the field GNETW of table CEKKO. But CEKKO is a Structure not a table. So I can't update the field.
    Please advice me...
    Thank You,
    Nag

  • Purchase order Revision and Releases

    Hello All
    Can any one tell me the keyfig for Purchase order Revisions and Releases.I am trying to built a report that has PO Revision count and PO Releases count.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi,
    PO release is a approval procedure. If a PO fulfills certain conditions (e.g. the total order value exceeds $10,000), it has to be approved (by the cost center manager, for instance) before it can be processed further. This process of approving is knows as release procedure.
    PO revision refers to changes made to PO. If an existing PO is changed, the system can print an amended PO displaying the changes. The first change is printed as 'amendment no. 1", the second as 'amendment no. 2" and so on.
    Hope this helps.

  • Revision level not appearing in material tab of purchase order

    hi
    I have matained revision level in material master but it is not appearing in material tab of purchase order and print preview of purchase order
    regards
    Badari

    Hi, If u have created proper change no in CC01 with assigned object material with proper validity period u can give revision level to material.
    In order to reflect the current revision level on PO printout, the coding in PO print program should be designed accordingly to pick the latest revision level. PO output needs to be re-issued so that the new output can pick the latest information like PO revision level from the master.
    Refer below link also for more information,
