Resetting RFQ Release Strategy

Dear colleagues,
We are using RFQ release to select appropriate bid among set of biddings. Suppose an RFQ is approved, letu2019s say RFQ number 10, within a set of RFQsu2019. After negotiations with vendorsu2019 new bids are made, letu2019s say RFQ number 20 and 30, which has fewer prices than the approved one. In this case RFQ release should be reset, but it does not.
I know that SAP considers PO, RFQ, and Contract as purchasing documents and logic of release strategy are same.
Is there any way to achieve this requirement?
Regards
Metin

Hi,
You are trying to use release for which it is not supposed to be.
Release is for only for the approval of an RFQ before it is issued to Vendor.
In your case if you are having multiple quotes for an item based on the negotiations carried out with vendor, the same should be updated to the existing RFQ created.
For example you created RFQ-R1 for vendor V1 and RFQ-R2 for Vendor V2.
When you first receive the quotations you maintain using ME47 for RFQ R1 and R2.
Now when you negotiate with V1 and get a better price the same should be updated in R1.
So this way R1 at any point of time will have the latest negotiated price.
The item changes recorded when doing the changes can be viewed if you require. You may have to create a custom report to view these.
Similarly the Me49 might need to be customized to suit to your comparison needs.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards

  • RFQ release strategy

    Hi
    I have a problem.
    I use RFQ release strategy but can create PO with reference to not released RFQ.
    I need to create PO's only with reference to released RFQ, same as with reference to
    released contract (I can't create PO with reference to not released contract).
    Thanks
    Meir

    Hi,
    It is of the standard functionality of SAP that you can create PO with reference to unrelease RFQ. Yet, you can't be able to create PO with reference to unrelease PR.  If you would like to meet your business requirement, you will have to activate the user exit.
    Cheers,

  • Reset contract release strategy ME32K

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to reset the release strategy of the contract everytime some value on the item screen EKPO got changed.
    I've already implemented the EXIT -> EXIT_SAPLEBND_002, but it only changes the header EKKO with the structure CEKKO.
    Please help me ASAP.
    Thanks.

    For PR's, there is no header level data. Because vendor number is optional since it is internal document .
    If you are releasing all line items at a time, need header level release.
    If you release line item by line item, need item level release.
    But in the case PO/Contract/SA, these are final reference documents and sending to the vendor as external documents.
    That's vendor number is at header level field and line item in the PO are related to the single vendor.
    You can release all the  items in the PO or u can reject entire PO, not a single line item.
    That's why, only header level release is possible for the PO/Contract/SA.
    Other  than this information  please  for through this  link

  • Source Determination resets the release strategy of the PR

    Hi
    I am trying to automate the Purchasing Cyle by running ME57 as a batch job along with ME59n for stock items on contract, however when I create the PR and approve it, when ME57 picks this approved PR it assigns the source automatically but removes the approval! I am having the ABAP consultants debug this, however is there something elementary that I have left out?
    Regards

    Check if u have release strategy based on vendor - FLIEF. This could be a reason. When u change the vendor or assign a vendor, the release strategy is getting reset .

  • Reset PR release Strategy - ME55

    Hi,
    Can someone advise if ME55 can be used to reset the PR release strategy collectively? If not, is there a transaction code that can do so. Till now, i can only ME54 to single reset the PR release strategy. Thanks.

    ME55 is to collectively release the PR not for resetting . so you have individually go in each pr and reset the release . there is no such tcode for collective reset.

  • Deleting of message type after reseting of release strategy

    Dear Team,
    My requirement is when the PO is finally release and outputted to vendor, its relaese indicator is set to 'R'(i,e, Relaesed, no changes) . Now if for any reason i have to do some modification , I have to repeat the output via ME9F so as it seems that PO is again ready to output. Now using transaction 'ME28'', I will goto derelaese the the PO
    Now I have the requirement, is there any way that just after dereleasing from ME28, the message type that I have added which allows me to reset the release, got deleted.
    That when now i goto ME22N, for making the modification, their must not be any preconfigured message type and genereated when do any changes.
    This is required to print the amendment in PO,
    So please suggest if their is any modification or enhacement available to achieve the above
    Regrads
    SAPABAP

    Hi,
    1st try with standard functionality and if not possible then go for enhacement. You needed in ME22N,if you do or make the modification in PO ,no preconfigured message type should be triggred automatically or no output genereated.
    Lets example you have PO message type ZNEU and its clear that you need preconfigured message type should be triggred automatically for PO output for PO creation ONLY. Use the below path:
    SPRO->MM->Purchasing>Message->Output control->Message tyoes-> Define message type for Purchase Order--->Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order
    As you needed,then DO NOT make entry or if entry is there,just DELETE for PO change not to trigges any message type
    {Indicator for print----
    condition type
    2----
    ZNEU}
    NOTE: Then think about how you will have PO print after any changes in PO.But you can think of not having automatically  PO message type on PO creation or PO changes and can ONLY enter PO message type manually for PO print.So do not select u201CAccess to conditionu201D check box in NACE t.code for your PO message type ZNEU.

  • Reset release strategy PR

    Hi!!!
    How can I do to reset an strategy when the document is modified in some level of approval in a document PR.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi,
    I have a similiar problem.  We are running ECC6 and have noticed that when a user with no release approval makes a change to a PM work order (change of work order basic start date, TECO the work order etc) then the release strategy on the associtated purchase requisitions is reset.
    This is causing PRs to be set as "blocked", even though the PR lines are deleted on TECO of the work order.
    The opposite also occurs, where a user with release approval greater than the value of a released requisition changes the PM work order, it then deletes the PR release strategy as the release strategy would not have been initiated if that user created it in the first place.
    Our release indicator "2 - RFQ/Purchase Order" has the changes after start of release set to 4 (changeable, new release in case of new strategy or value change) and 0.0% value change set.
    As there are no changes to value when the date or PM work order status is changed, why does this reset the release strategy?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • ME38 resets Release strategy of Scheduling agreement

    Hello,
    It seems when the users change the delivery date  in the delivery schedule (transaction ME38), the system in some cases resets the release strategy of the scheduling agreement from "Release" to "Not Release".It happened only in some case,release indicator set to "4" in our case.
    I cannot understand why this happens.
    Has anyone encountered such a problem before.
    Thanks
    Sunil

    Below are the (changed) item fields :
    Purchasing Document Item Change Date   AEDAT
    Item Delivery Date   EINDT
    Schedule Line is "Fixed  "FIXKZ
    Below are the (changed) header fields :
    Release Indicator: Purchasing Document  FRGKE
    Release status  FRGZU
    Purchasing document processing state PROCSTAT
    Item and header changes have same "Change document number " and transaction code "ME38" , this happened only in some cases,Rel Strategy is on  document type level ,I am also confused on this .

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Release strategy for RFQ's not triggered after change

    Folks,
    Release strategy is active for RFQ's. In case of initial creation, the release strategy is active. After releasal a change is made to the existing RFQ. However, the release strategy is not triggered. Characteristics used are:
    1) document type (AN)
    2) purchasing type (RFQ purchasing document)
    It is obvious that these characteristics will not re-trigger the release strategy. On header level, there is no field in CEKKO available to re-trigger, for example total quantity? Any suggestions for a characteristic that can re-trigger the RS?
    Message was edited by:
            MdZ

    Hi,
    For RFQ Release strategy will be applicable only for Document type.No other characteristics will apply for that.
    As RFQ don't have any specific table where the data is stored related to RFQ.
    So we Use CEKKO which only identifies the document type of RFQ.
    In your case in initial process while creating the RFQ release strategy is active.
    What change you have made to the Released RFQ.

  • Reset Purchaser Order release strategy

    Hi All
    Does any one knows how to configure the Resetting of Release Strategy when the PO value/amount is reduced? We are in 4.6C, is it standard or are there any settings or transaction code?
    Please help.
    Thank you
    Jesielle

    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 OR modify standard function module which help to reset existing release strategy for reduced/increased and/or values.
    For more check the SAP note:493900
