Roles & release codes

Hi ,
We have a following scenario for a release strategies [ may be more than 100 ]
1] Overall value ranges like >100 - 200 , >200 - 300 etc. with other characteristics.
2] We need single level release strategy to release any PR [ with classification ] / PO with this i.e. it will be released by single code only .codes are different for different strtegies.
3] Do we need to create 100 different roles with Release Codes assigned to it.
How can this be handled .
Can anyone help?
Thanks & regards ,
Prasad G

Hi Charlie ,
Thanks for the answer.
But case here is ,
I have multiple businesses groups in a Plant which I will address as a differnet Purchase group in which i have these ranges , each Purchase group may have similar value ranges for approvals.
so , what we have planned is go with different release groups per business & use codes accordingly
like
Pur. grp - Say P1 i.e. business group 1
Range - >100-200 ,
Release group - say B1
Startegy - S1
Release Code - 01
Pur. grp - Say P1 i.e. business group 1
Range - >200-300 ,
Release group - say B1
Startegy - S2
Release Code - 02
similarly
Pur. grp - Say P2 i.e. business group 2
Range - >100-200 ,
Release group - say B2
Startegy - S1
Release Code - 01 can i use code 01 here or may be different is reqd
Pur. grp - Say P1 i.e. business group
Range - >200-300 ,
Release group - say B2
Startegy - S2
Release Code - 02 can i use code 02 here or may be different is reqd
Can you pls. advice?
Thanks ,

Release code in user role

hi
In which table can we find release codes assigned against user. We know how to check in su01 in user roles. This is for a new report purpose.

Hi
This table has releasecodes and release strategy details: T16FS.
To check users for a particular role
Go to SUIM
User--Users by Complex Selection Criteria--
Users by Complex Selection Criteria
Enter the authorization object M_EINK_FRG
And click on entry values
enter the release code and release group and execute the report

Authorization roles for Release Codes

Hi,
We have a requirement wherein the release codes for the PO release strategy are about 100. The roles are repeating itself i.e. Buyer, Manager, Director etc for different countries and other attributes. Is there any way by which we can reduce the authorisation roles.
Regards,
Mohit Sehgal

If you have implemented the Work flow than you don't need the repeated code for manager or buyer etc.
you can just define the oce code for each position and use them in release strategy and based onthe workflow with combination of HR org structure you can send them to appopriate manager
e.g. you have 10 manager and each manage has 10 buyer
so you create one manager relese code e.g. MG and one Buyer code BY
now you have create many release strategy where you enter the MG code and BY code but you want send the PO for approval based ont he buyer
so you have to set up the HR ord sturcture in the tcode PPOCE and create teh tree for the buyer code and manager relation ship
now when you create the release strategy you will enter the purchase group in the release strategy which is assigned to the buyer code and based on the HR org structue it will find the appropriate manager whitout defining many manager code and buyer code.
or if you don't have the workflwo than you have to create diff buyer code and manager code.

Problem User Profile - Release Code PR

Hi all,

ZIBI_MM_LIB_REQ_RO this role is for
Release code                   RO
Release group                  *
When i release the PR from RO it goes to RF.
This user DON'T have the RF role in his profile:
ZIBI_MM_LIB_REQ_RF
Release code                   RF
Release group                  *
But he can release the RF too.... how i block him from doing that.

Hi Basker,
*EBELN ERNAM FRGGR
SELECT EBELN ERNAM FRGGR
          FROM EKKO "Purchasing Document Header
          INTO TABLE IT_EKKO
          WHERE "YOUR OWN CONDITION"
*FRGGR    FRGCO
SELECT FRGGR FRGCO
              FROM T16FW: "Assignment of Role to Release Code
              INTO TABLE IT_T16FW
              FOR ALL ENTRIES IN IT_EKKO
             WHERE FRGGR = IT_EKKO-FRGGR.
The value of FRGCO is the release code for that user.
Try it out, or
You can use the BAPI_PO_RELEASE

Reuse Release Codes for PR Release.

Hi!
Business requirement has resulted in exhausting the Release Codes for Purchase Requisitions. What might possibly be the impact of using the same Release Codes in different Plants and restricting the users by Roles.
Example:
Release Strategy X: Plant IND1 / Value >0: Release Code ZZ
Release Strategy Y: Plant IND2 / Value >0: Release Code ZZ
Assume that the PR Releasers are different (say Mr. A & Mr. B for Plant IND1 and IND2 respectively):
Create 2 Role:
Role X: Authorization for Plant IND1 and Release Code ZZ
Role Y: Authorization for Plant IND2 and Release Code ZZ
Now if we assign Role X to Mr. A and Role Y to Mr. B, Mr. A will get only PRs from Plant IND1 and Mr. B will get only PRs from Plant IND2. Hence they can use the same Release Code ZZ. But the PRs will be from their respective Plants.
Can you foresee any issues with the above setup? I tested the same in sandbox and it is working fine.
Suggestions welcome.
Regards,
Riju

Dear Riju,
There has not a issue of Release Strategy, you can give the access rigth through role.
But check the muliples plant & Release code.

Release Code In Release Strategy

Dear Experts,
We have configured the release strategy for PR on Devlopment Client.
1. I have created necessary Characteristics and Classes on devlopmnt client and configured the startegy and it has been applied succesfully on Dev client.
Now i want to transport the same to the PRD client , should i require the characteristics and Class again in the PRD client, as else can be transported to the PRD client.
2. Also we have user XYZ who is Purchase manager and we have release code R1 in strategy.
How can i map R1 to XYZ, what is the T Code for the same and authorize him to use ME29N for release of PR.
Best Regards,
sap User

Just follow steps:
PFCG
Create a role or change existing Purchasing role
Maintain the authorization profile:
Manually add authorization object MM_E (MM: Purchasing) if doesn't exist, otherwise just change the existing one.
Add sub-object M_EINK_FRG (Release Code and Group) to above mentioned object MM_E
Add Release Code R1, you may also need release group XXX
Generate and Save
Then SU01 assign the role to User Purchase_Mgr.
Hope this helps.

CCreate Release Strategy using department name in "Release Code", not User ID SAP.

hi experts...
i wanna create new release strategy, but in part "choose activities => Workflow => assignment of role to release code"
in field Agent ID usually we fill SAP user ID, but i wanna using department name.
is there anyone can help me
thanks,

Hi Raju,
Are you setting release for purchase requisition or purchase order ? If you are setting the release strategy for purchase requisition you need to enter table name as CEBAN and for purchase order give table name as CEKKO.
Enter tcode SE11 and give database table name as CEKKO and choose the appropriate field name for the desired component from here. Do the same with table name CEBAN for pur req.
Hope this was helpful.

Buyer release code

All,
Suppose I have 4 buyers in the purchase dept .
For these buyers there is only one purchasing group .
The role of buyers here is to create PO , that's all .
Less than 10,000 price Buyer shud release the PO and more than 10000 price Category buyer should release .
I will create 4 release codes for buyers .
Whether 1st buyer is raising PO , he only shud release it , the other 3 buyers shud not have access to release this .
How this can be possible .?
Please advise , this is urgent.If not clear I can again describe .
regards

Hi Sandeep
If I understand correctly:
You have buyers A, B, C & D. All four are assigned authorizations for same purchasing group. When A creates a PO, only he should be able to release. Smilarly for B,C and D also.
You cannot achieve this with standard config of release procedure.
You need to use User exits to enable this and need help of ABAPer:
1) If you use workflow also along with release, then use User exit M06E0005 to determine the person for release. Otherwise, use option 2 below
2) Use exit M06E0004 to enhance the communication structure CEKKO.
May be you can include 'PO created by' field in the release structure and create as many release strategies as you want. Pl note that such release strategies could be very tedious.
OR
The following option may or may not work.
3) Use BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST to check who is changing the release status and compare it with 'created by' user. Throw an error, if they are not same.

Report to Show PR that are not released by release codes

I would like to know if there is any report on SAP 6.0 that shows all the purchase requisitions that are not released which shows the releease code (the person's name who has to release the PR). In me55 only could be found by release code, and it is required, I cannot has a report
I think that there is not, but i would like to confirm it.
Thank you in advance,
Best regards

Hello,
1)Go to ME5A t-code & select DYNAMIC SELECTIONS.
2)Select "Purchase Requisition" section and you can make use of parameters like Release Code, Release Indicator , Release Status etc., to fetch the required results.
Hope this helps you in resolving your matter.

Function Module giving pruchase requisition release code ?

Hi everyone !!
I am using the FM BAPI_REQUISITION_RELEASE_GEN in order to realease a purchase requisition, this works well as I give it a hard-coded value for input parameter REL_CODE.
However in our company an intricate set of release strategies imposes that I should have a dynamic value for this release code.
So I've been looking for a function module that would return the possible values of the release codes with either the requisition number as input or other parameters found in table EBAN !
Anyone has any suggestions as to which FM or BAPI I could use to achieve this goal?
Best regards !
