Retrigger Workflow if PO Release Strategy changes

Hi All
I have configured workflow for PO release.Now through work item if I am deleting a line item of the PO such that PO is capturing new release strategy due to change in PO value then workflow does not gets re-triggered again as per new release strategy.How can I achieve this?
Edited by: satish kumar on Apr 18, 2009 9:13 AM

Hi,
For Creation it working fine right, i.e. Event triggering fine
1) After Changing the PO, save it
2) And tell functional consultant, whether they configure for the settings for PO change in SPRO

How to retrigger workflow after complete release

Hi All
I have configured workflow for PO release.My query is that suppose I complete the PO release through workflow and then through ME22N I change the Quantity/Value such that a new release strategy is captured by the same PO.Now how do I retrigger the worflow for the same PO according to new release strategy.

Hi,
Using the T.code SWUE you can re-trigger.
Follow the steps to trigger the workflow via Event.
1) Goto the T.code SWUE.
2) Object category = BO BOR Object Type
3) Object Type = Business Object (e.g. BUS2089,..).
4) Object Event = which event you want to trigger (e.g CREATED,..)
5) Click on Object Key button & enter the key field value(s)
6) There is a button 'Event Parametersu2019. Click on that to enter the event parameter values, if any
7) Then you have to click 'Event Receiver' button, and you can see which Workflow is linked to this event
8) Now click on 'Create Event' to trigger the event.
9) Then Go to SWEL and see the Event.

Hello Hari,
please set a breakpoint at function module
ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE
and see what happends in section
    CASE t16fc-frgwf.
* keine Ermittlung
      WHEN space.
        RAISE nobody_found.
* Ermittlung über T16fW
      WHEN '1'.
If using the T16FW-table, it should go to '1', otherwise it may that a user exit under '9' is used. So please check this.

Overall Purchase requisition Release strategy : Changed after Rejected

Hi All,
I have activated overall purchase requisition Release strategy (20000077) . And its working fine when PR is released at each level and saved.
Problem I have is when PR is rejected .
When PR is rejected , workitem is created for initiator with ME52 transaction. When initiator changes the contents of PR and saves , the release strategy should resume back from where it stopped. Thats means when Approver A rejects the PR, after initiator make changes , the workflow should trigger back with a workitem for release to approver A.
But its not happening as expected. When Approver A rejected the PR and initiator changes the PR , Nothing is triggered, as there is no event raised at this point.
ME52 changes for PR is not trigerring any event which can trigger the WF.
Is there any way we can trigger Workflow in this scenerio.
Please suggest.

Hi Subhashini,
This all depend on release strategy. release should reset completely on tha change.
For the increase of quantities or values you can maintain tolerance limits in the Customizing. When you increase the amount or value via the tolerance limit the system will reset the release.
When you reduce quantities or values the system only resets the release if another release strategy is determined for the lower quantity or the lower value.
If no other release strategy is determined by the reduction of the
amount or value, the system will keep already existing releases.
changeability in Release indicator also play a major role. You should set it to either 3 or 4. Now if you change any field, which is also used in any charecteristics in release, it will lead to reset of release startegy.

Hi
we have also did some changes to relase codes after once in use & we had encountered some problems in the PO.
For E.g. If you have the previous repease codes as L1 & L2 , & if you are removeing the L2 form the release codes then All the PO's whcih are approved by L1 & awaiting tobe approed by L2 will be in hanging status. You need to go into each PO 7 click on revoke acceptance & Click on check then The new relase codes will appear.
If you can clearly explain what you are planning to do on the relase codes , then we can advise you in the right manner.
Thanks & Regards

Old POs affected by release strategy change

Hello,
Recently major changes were made to a group of release strategies for our business. The new release strategies are being applied correctly to all new POs. However, even POs created before the change of release strategies are showing the new strategies. Even the old POs which have already been released and goods received are showing the new strategies. How can this be corrected? POs created before the change should be showing the old strategies. Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi,
First of all, I don't suggest to bring back the old release strategies as it will mess up the entire system and to me it does not make sense at all as the efforts to solve these issues with old POs are significant and believe me, you will encounter a lot of pains and frustration. What I suggest hereunder is as simple and effective as I thought given your current situation -
1) In regard to those old POs (I hope the number is small up to now) to which the new release strategies are applied, you will have to use ME28 for mass release. Of course, you can develop the simple ABAP program which can allow mass approval (if you wish to).
2a) If you did not eradicate your old release strategies through configuration (i.e. you used only "2" to block your old release strategies in CL20N Transaction), then you can select the proper value in the "Changeability" field of your "released" release indicator that was used in your old release strategies. This selection will allow the fact that no new release strategy will be applied for your old POs in case of change.
2b) If it turns out that your old release strategies were deleted from the current system (which I don't really know why), then the only solution you should do is to inform your end users of not making any change in the old POs.
Cheers,
HT

Workflow - Purchase order Release strategy

Hi All,
Good Morning
I had created workflow for Purchase order release strategy with steps(To Determine Agents, Release of Purchase order, Release of PO effected) and in Me21N I created PO and PO came to my SAP inbox(SBWP) and I released that PO and saved it.
but My problem is after releasing PO when I checked my Inbox again still that PO is sitting there, it is supposed to disappear from there
Can anyone please assist me to resolve this issue .
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
In standard SAP workflow, SAP is sending a mail item (notification) to SAP mail inbox. There is no action is required from there. So mail will remain their as mark as read. If you want to remove it than one needs to delete it from respective mail box.

Hi All,
Release strategy is configured for a P.O.The changes in terms of releasing the P.O can be viewed in P.O Screen---Environment -

Do we have any table for checking the changes made to a P.O in terms of Release strategy?
Have a Nice Day.

Hi,
You can check this in CDHDR table.
If version management is active for your PO then you can check the changes in EREV table.

You can directly go into the Purcahse order & check for the Heder changes which will give the Changed Date
If you need to use two table to find out the date when the Strategy was changed.
Use Table CDHDR & CDPOS. Object key is the POurcahse order number

Workflow for PO release strategy agent not found

Hi all,
I m beginner in the workflow. i want to create a workflow for the PO. release strategy I have done all the settings in the SPRO for the release strategy. I have copied the standard workflow definition WS20000075 also done the binding with object type BUS2012. in the steps 'Release of purchase order' i have mentioned the task TS20000166 i.e. 'Release of purchase order' and also maintain the AC Rule 20000027 i.e. 'Person responsible for PO release' for agents. But still its not getting the agents. the workflow is getting triggered but its not getting the agent. What else setting I need to do to get this done.
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

Very well put Rick. In my case if i simulate this workflow from swdd transaction then it works fine but the same workflow when initiated from ME21N doesn't work and throws same error.
1. I have copied standard workflow and task 166 is throwing error.
"Resolution of rule AC20000027 for task TS20000166: no agent found"
2. I have recreated the step but still the workflow is throwing error.
3. If I execute the rule individually (PFAC_DIS) with a specific PO then the rule works fine. The rule executes the below mentioned exit successfully.
4. I am using exit to determine the agent, the workflow works fine if I don't use the exit. The exit is EXIT_SAPLEBNF_005. I am just pulling the agent from a ztable.
Please advise if you can help as I have not seen anyone answering.
by the way irrespective of the explicit rule update in the workflow the step executes AC20000027 by default.
Any help on above is appreciated.

Workflow Configuration for Release Strategy

Hi All,
At present we are using Release Strategy without workflow. Now we wants to use workflow.
Request you all to guide what configuration i have to do for workflow.
I appreciate your help
Regards
Anbalagan

Hi,
     In the case of a release procedure linked to workflow, you must have previously created the user names, positions, jobs, etc. that you here assign to the release code in the organizational plan and must have linked them to the relevant standard tasks in task-specific Customizing (Basis -> Business Management -> Business Workflow -> Perform Task-Specific Customizing).
     You must assign the authorization M_EINK_FRG to the persons who are to be involved in the release procedure ( Authorization Management -> Create Authorization Profiles and Assign to Users).
If a release code is to be used in workflow, indicate this accordingly in the Workflow field
The Workflow indicator is also used to control role resolution:
·     "1 - Role Resolution with Group, Code and Plant (T16FW)"
Here you use a role resolution that is supplied in the standard system. To do so, you must assign the release point in the section Workflow
Assign a processor ID to your workflow-relevant release codes. The processor (member of staff responsible for processing the document) will then receive a work item when he or she is required to effect release.
You can assign a processor ID either directly or indirectly:
o     Direct processor assignment:
Enter a user name.
o     Indirect processor assignment:
Enter a job, for example, or a position. At runtime, the system will then determine the member(s) of staff responsible for processing the document.

What is the name of the table where Release Strategy changes are maintained

Dear Friends,
Every time I make the changes in the Release Strategy Codes the Signature of the Approver changes in the Output. The problem is that it even changes for the Older PO's which are already approved by some other approver. Is there any way this problem can be sorted out? or can any one give the name of the table which records the changes made in the Release Strategy along with time and date? I will be really thankful if you guys can help me out!

Hi Chintan,
I hope you are talking about the release codes, which we attach later on to user Ids and signature means its description. I hope followed correctly.
In standard system, as and when you change the description of release code at back end, it gets reflected on front end. No matter whether its old or new PO. There is no way out to stop this. Every time you display the purchase order, the release codes checks for description at back end and displayes the same. Still, it should not bother you, as the already released PO dosent get affected for any changes you do at back end in the entire release strategy.
Beside the tables mentioned by other friends AUSP is the table where all release related entries gets stored.
I hope it clarifies.

I suppose, you are using the workflow WS20000075. Add sending email as an additional task to the same workflow in SWDD.
