Release with Classification

Hi ,
What is the difference between release with classification and without classification?
Can we use both for all purchasing documents?
How to decide which procedure to use?
Regards,
Komal

Dear Komal,
Two types of release procedures are there
1. With classification (Header level release i.e overall release can be possible)
2. Without classification (Item level release)
Release procedure without classification can be configured only for purchase requisition.
For PR at any given time only one release procedure can be active
Release procedure for PR without Classifications:
Structure:
1.Release Codes: Release codes are the approved hierarchy or levels involved in releasing of a document. (Max: 8 approve levels Ex: CEO, GM, Mgr etc)
2.Release Indicators: Used to determine the status of purchase document. Ex: Blocked, Relesed for RFQ/Q or for PO.
3.Release indicator assignment: In this activity we will define the status of purchasing document at each approval level.
Release Prerequsites:
1. Sequence of release
2. Release strategy (It is the combination of release pre-requisites and release indicator)
Determination of release strategy:
Hence we will configure based on what criteria, or based on what variables the release strategy is going to be effected. Ex: Item Value, Plant, Material group etc.
Navigation: MM-> Purchasing->PR->release procedure-> Setup procedure without classification
1. Select release codes
2. Release indicator
3. Assign release indicators
4. Release points - prerequisites
5. Determination of release strategy

  • PR Release with classification

    Hello all,
    I have created the CHARACTERISTICS: 1. PRTYPE with CEBAN and BSART
                                                                   2. PRPLANT with CEBAN and WERKS
                                                                   3. PRVALUE with CEBAN and GSWRT
    and CLASS: PRRELEASE with relase starateygy 032
    But when I try to create RELEASE GROUPS AA with class as PRRELEASE I am getting the below error.
    Please check release classes (see long text)
    Please help me to solve this.
    Regards,
    SA

    Hi,
    You have created new release class for PR as PRRELEASE & now creating release group and assigning PRRELEASE (release class for PR), so you are getting error!
    In your system already for PR release, a RELEASE CLASS FOR PR is created. So when you are assigning a new release class for PR as PRRELEASE ,system showing message.
    You can use only ONE release class PR,ONE release class PO, ONE release class SES. Now either you can use old RELEASE CLASS FOR PR  or you can delete 1st assignment of old RELEASE CLASS FOR PR  to all release groups and then assign your new release class for PR as PRRELEASE with new Release Group.

  • PR Release without classification

    Hi ,
    In case of a PR release without classification are following things possible
    1] Like in PR Release with classification , we can maintain Currency  as a characteristics & then system calculates rate equivalent to base currency maintained in value characteristics.Hence  can I handle multiple currencies scenario with PR Release without Classification?
    2] Release a PR at Header Level
    Please answer,
    Thanks & regards ,

  • Shifting the PR without classification to with classification

    Hi All,
    I have deleted the PR release strategy without classification  randomly and configured PR release with classification in dev server.
    Now I want to delete the PR without classification from Live server and incorporate the new PR release strategy with classification in live server.
    Let me know the sequence I should follow to delete the PR without classification from Quality server and apply in live server so that new PR release strategy with classification should take place.
    Thnx,
    AC

    hello Amit,
    yes, delte the strategies first.. check Table T16FS, T16FV and make sure there are no entries
    Then delete the codes and check T16FC, followed by the groups.. T16FG.. these should dbe empty
    You don't have to delete the characteristics and class information, if you know you'd be using them again

  • With classification release procedure for PO

    Dear Experts ,
    here one issue is with classification release procedure for PO
    when I create characteristics
    in Additional data
    table name :-- Cekko field name  :-- match code
    enter
    click all sec charars then which block I select to go next screen
    and fill name is right or ?
    please help me

    hi,
    in additional data field you have to give the field name of characteristic you are maintaining. like if you want to maintain characteristic as document type of the PO then we have to give the field name for document type mentioned in table CEKKO i.e. BSART.
    then you have to do the value assignment. here you have to tick the check box for "NOT READY FOR INPUT".

  • Release procedure with classification not getting triggered

    Hi,
    I have configured the new release procedure for the PR release of type with classification, but its not getting triggered. Earlier my SAP system had without classification in place, but I wanted to have with classification. Can any one suggest how do I switch between two.
    Ideally once I create the release group in with classification procedure that procedure gets activated and gets triggered. Unfortunately its not happening in my case. I tried deleting the entries from the without classification side too, but still it doesnt respond. Is there in patch or note missing.
    Your suggestion would be highly appreciated.

    Hi Jurgen,
    I am configuring it for PR and with classification method. Well for simplification I am using just purchase group as characteristics, but still its not working. Earlier system had without classification in place, as its there in a default system and used to get triggered. When I created new procedure its not getting triggered. To be assured I deleted the data from witout classification, but still its not working.
    Where as I did the same setting for PO, its working and giving me correct releaes strategy.
    My characteristic is PRGRP using the communication structure CEBAN and field as EKGRP
    Please suggest me on this.

  • 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.

  • Tranposrt - Purchase Requisition Release Strategy with Classification

    Gurus!
    Tell me if I want to Transport the Purchase Requisition release strategy with classification. The Data in each charisteristics in each PR Strategy that I have set in Dev is not getting transported to Quality.
    Do I have to enter the data in characteristics again in Quality and the same procedure I have to apply for Production.
    If yes, in this scenario, Can I make Production modifiable.
    Regards
    Sajid

    Hello,
    Create a special ID in PRD with access to change characteristics. This ID should be released for specific purposes and with approval (project manager/SAP support manager). You can also turn on auditing so that all activites performed are logged which can be used to satify auditors.
    Cheers !

  • PR release strategy with classification

    As part of a rollout, we are migrating an instance of SAP to the template SAP. Both the SAP instances are following u2018PR release strategy with classificationu2019.
    The limitation is that I can configure only two release group in PR release strategy with classification. One for overall release and one at item level release. Also, I cannot assign two different release class for the same release group. If I add additional characteristics in the existing class and keep other irrelevant characteristics as blank the release strategy doesnu2019t works. the release strategy does not triggers.
    Any pointers to solve this will be highly appreciated.

    Hi Ashish,
    If your requirement is to have release strategy with more or different characteristics than in the existing system,you may create a new release group and assign the same to release class.There no restriction for having multiple release groups for same release class.Then create new release strategies for the newly created release group and so on.

  • PR release with or without classification

    Hi All,
    In our system for purchase requisition, release strategy with and with out classifications have been maintained.
    How can I find out which release strategy is currently running in the system?
    Reg
    Ram

    Hi There
    Usually without classification will only use the following characteristics
    Acct Assignment Cat
    Material Group
    Plant
    Value of purch. req
    and in contranst With Classification you can selec any of the Field from CEBAN,,  This is the main diff between these two,,
    1.With Classification , you can relase at Header level as well as item level,,
    2.And guess that Without Classification will not have the Rel Groups where you can get it in With Classification,,
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • Release Strategy With Classification

    Hey All,
    I would like to get some information about release strategy with classification for purchase requisation and purchase order.
    Please send me some information  regarding this.
    Thanks
    Kawal

    hi,
    To see the all the linkages firstly see the classifcation and class defined in the sap system at:
    SAP easy access --> Cross application components --> classification system --> master data --> characteristics and classes(CT04 and CL02)...
    TO see the customisation, check:
    Spro --> MM --> Purchasing --> PO/PR etc --> Release procedure --> Rel procedure with classification --> Here check for all the different transactions...like Relase codes, release stategy, access sequence, schema etc...
    Also one important point abt it is:
    PR is possible to release at header as well as at item level...
    But PO and other external docs are only possible to release at header level only...
    In the customisation check all the linkages you will get best out of it....

    Hi,
    Go into trx CL30N and enter the values of the document :
    1.If you don't get a result> check in customizing definition of release strategy and check
    In trx OLME > PR > define document type 
    "Overall release of purchase requisitions" flag ( fiield V_T161-GSFRG ) should not be SET
    In TRX OLME > OR > release staregy > Release Groups
    also FRGFG should not be set
    2. If you get one result> check
    If  you have activated the userexit 'EXIT_SAPLEBND_001'
    (Include ZXM06U13) This exit is relevant for the individual release.
    If you activating the userexit, please ensure that you implement
    the coding line E_CEBAN = I_CEBAN. in the include or deactivate the
    exit. Please refer to point 3) of the note 365604.

  • PR Release Stgy - With Classification & Without Classification -Difference?

    Hi
    Pls tell me the concept behind this and the difference
    Vijay

    Hi ,
    In without classification only four characterstics are allowed and they are
    account assignment category
    material group
    plant
    purchase requisition value
    Where as without classification you have more flexibilty and almost all the fields in table EBAN can be used for setting up Release strategy ( Also we can have release strategy at item as well as  at header level in with classification  )

  • Release Strategy without Classification VS with Classification

    Can you have a strategy based on with classification and another one without classification in the same client.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    You can have either of the One active in a system
    If you have activated RS without Classification, all the PR's will be subject to Release Process..
    If you now activated RS with Classification then this will Not work as the sytem has already found a RS wothut classification & not depebndent on any charcterisitics.
    So you can use only one of the Combination.
    This is applicable to only Purchase requsitions.
    For Purchase orders & othe Documents you will have only with Classification.
    Thanks & Regards
