SA release function

Hi Friends,
We are using SA ( LPA ) for our vendors.
When ever MPS, MRP runs system craetes Deleivery schedules and release are transamitetd to the vendor for next 12 months . ( Since we have next 12 month load.
This we need to avoid sending 12 month reqt to vendor , we tried to check in craeteion profile / ME84 transaction , but no use.
Request your feedback on how to fix this.
Thanks
A.Gururajan

Hi
The latter is an instrument for determining which criteria are used to generate releases against a scheduling agreement and transmit them to the vendor.
You assign the creation profile to the scheduling agreement item in the additional data.
The creation profile controls the creation periodicity of the releases and - starting from the current date of release creation - the way in which the quantities are aggregated.
In the release creation profile, you can define
General Parameters
Which creation strategy is the basis for JIT delivery schedules and scheduling agreements.
How backlog and immediate requirements are taken into account during release creation.
Aggregation and release horizon
If and how schedule lines should be aggregated during release creation.
Release creation periodicity
With which periodicity scheduling agreement releases are created
Tolerance profile
That for releases created as a result of changed schedule lines, the system performs a tolerance check
Internet release
Whether an Internet release is created during release creation
Example:
A release creation profile for a scheduling agreement for which delivery schedule lines have been maintained over several years can provide that releases are transmitted weekly from 1.1. to 12.31 of the first year. The release quantities are to be aggregated as follows:
For a period of 10 days starting from the current date of release creation, no aggregation; from the tenth to the thirtieth day, on a daily basis; and from the thirtieth day to the sixtieth day, on a monthly basis.
Recommendatin
If you have not specified a time in the schedule lines, you should work with aggregation in the creation profile so that lines with the same date are consolidated when releases are created.
The reason for this is the following situation when comparing releases:
If several schedule lines having the same date/time key exist, an accurate comparison of releases is difficult because there is no clear assignment.
From the above documentationit is clear that creation profile is responsible for releases.Please check the creation periodicity tab in the profile.

Payment release function inactive

Hi,
My requirement is to have release function on payment proposal made through FIBLFFP (Free form payment).
I setted the payment block reason in OB27 with details :
- Block indicator = M
- Manual payment block = Yes
- Not changeable = Yes
When I create the payment proposal, AT FIRST document created with payment block --> CORRECT
I did experiment -> changing the payment block manually from FB02 and saved it.
After that, when I create payment proposal, the payment block indicator is not there. Means no release step needed. --> WRONG
How to re-activate the payment block ?
Thanks,
Melissa

Thanks for replying,
Even though I've ticked the "not changeable" in OB27, in fact, it is allowed me to can change payment block indicator in FB02.
Since that I can do that once, now my payment release function is inactive.
How to activate it again ?

Payment release function inactive while creating invoice through FB60

Hi,
I am getting message while creating invoice through FB60 as "Payment release function inactive".
When I select "Free for payment" after going in payment tab, that time only system is allowing me to go further.
Is there any mistake I am doing?
Pls suggest.
Thanks,
Taral Patel

Hi,
Check in vendor master in FD02 > Company Code Data > Payment Transactions, whether the payment block is active there or not?
Also check in OBB8 transaction whether any payment block key is linked to the payment term which is being used in the vendor master.

FM - Release Function

Hi Experts,
In FM, I need to release budget of commitment item by month massively. Do you know some standar 'Release' Function?
Thanks in advance.
José Luis

Dear José Luis,
I meant BCS. If you are in a lower version, it's a bit more complicated...are you sure you cannot go for EHP4?.
If the answer is not, you have to create one ledger per month, and after that, you hace to customize AVC for each ledger, the result is more or less the same, but the effort is bigger.
According to SAP documentation:
User-Specific Availability Control Ledger
However, if the use of a single AVC ledger per budget category does not
meet the requirements of your organization, you can define additional
user-specific AVC ledgers. In this case, you work with a number of
parallel AVC ledgers in one FM area/fiscal year. . In each ledger, the
budget and commitment/actual data from Funds Management can be
summarized according to ledger-specific derivation strategies for
control objects and for tolerance profiles. Each document to be posted
has to pass the AVC checks of all parallel AVC ledgers.
Note that using parallel activated availability control checks can have
a negative effect on system performance. SAP recommends that you do not
use more than three or four AVC ledgers simultaneously.
So, you may activate an user-specific AVC ledger according to your
business needs, and take care so that your derivation strategies are
not too complex to impact negatively performance.

User status for establishing release functionality for new activity.

Hi Experts
My intention is to stop business transactions to a newly included activity in a released project.
I wish a release for the specific activity before allowing business transactions.
For this purpose i have created an user status z0001 as shown below:
10 new New 10 20 1 1
20 rel Released 20 20 1 1
But, i am unable to trigger this for only activity that is newly assigned for the newly included activity.
Is there any means to get thje desired functionality?

Release Functionality in Batch I/P

hi expert,
when process batch input session , some of the session status is always in processing .
and check in the session some of the items most of them are correct and some of them are incorrect .
The reason is the termination of background job running for the session.
Can we just release the session and reprocess it again?
and is there any duplicate posting since most of them shows correct in the processing session ?
Aany advice will be appreciate .
many thanks
-hKP

Hello hKP,
the release of the BI session should reset the status. After this you can reprocess it - the already sucessfully processed records will not be processed again. If you want to check this, start the BI session in "display mode" (i don't know the exact description in english - it's the first option, in the popup, where you can also descide, to run it in background. You should see, that the first record with error will be processed again.
After that you can cancel the further processing and start the BI session in background again.
Best regards
Stephan

What are the Transport Request Release Functionality ?

Sap Specialist,
                     Kindly tell me, I have following Doubt in <b>Transport Request Release</b> .
                     If we Realease any one Transport Request from SE09 in Developement Server,
                     What are the Functionalities Called ?
                     And How is it Export to Production Server ?

Hi,
kindly go through the following hints.
Transport Request within same Server Different Clients
I have 3 clients under one SID (dev 130,140,150).
And we have more than 400+ transport requests in client 130. How can we transport these requests to other clients of 140 & 150. If I want to use tcode SCC1, that can be done only one tran. request at one time.
Do I need to write a script within unix?
Try STMS.
Click on the "import overview"
Double click on your target system
Click "refresh"
Click on "import all request" or ctrl+F9
Specify the target client
Execute the transport
Done...
Thanks,
Shankar

Release strategy for purchase requisition does not kick in

Hi Gurus!
I've been struggling with this issue for some weeks now.
I have set up the release strategy configuration for purchase requisitions with classifications.
However, if I create a purchase requisition the release functionality is not taken into account by the system.
See below some more information regarding my configuration:
1. I've created a new characteristic "REL_PR_GROUP". Status: released, Multiple values, Number of Chars 3, 7 values (TR1, TR2, TR3....TR7), Table name: CEBAN, Field name: EKGRP, Procedure for value assignment set to not ready for input.
2. I've created a new class: "REL_PR_ANPC". Class type 032, Status: released, Same classification: do not check, Char: "REL_PR_GROUP"
3. I have one release group "T1", Rel. object 1, OverReqRel is marked, Class: "REL_PR_ANPC"
4. I have 5 release codes. Grp: T1, Code: 01....05
5. I have 2 release indicators:
"R = Released", Rel. for ordering is marked, Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
"X = Blocked", Changeabil: 4, Value chgs. 100,0
6. I have 1 release strategy:
"T1 with Grp T1"
- one release group, 01 Manager
- release prerequisites not applicable because of only one release group
- release status, nothing marked = blocked, 01 marked = released
- classification, purchasing group is TR1 or TR2 or TR3 or TR4 or TR5 or TR6 or TR7
I intentionally kept the configuration as simple as possible so I can try to get it working first.
Now if I create a purchase requisition for an item with release group T1, I would expect the release strategy to be activated. However, this is not the case. I don't see the "release status" tab in the PR, and if I try to relase via ME54 the system says the PR is not relevant for release.
Could you please assist in getting this working?

Hi,
Have you checked in CL30/CL30N if your release strategy is derived successfully?
See section 3 of Note 365604. A small section of it:
You can use transaction CL30 search for an object using the data
of the purchase requisition/purchase order. Here, it is important
that the object search determines exactly one strategy. If this
is not the case, this indicates that there are overlapping
strategies in the system or that the release strategies in
Customizing do not correspond with those from transaction CL24.
See the previous point. If the object search returns more than
one result, the system subsequently determines an incorrect
release strategy or no release strategy at all.
If it is derived successfully, next, check the user exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_001 as per Note 371667:
The following assignment statement has to exist within activated SAP
enhancements M06B0002 (include zxm06u13) and M06B0005 (include zxm06u31)
for purchase requisitions:
E_CEBAN = I_CEBAN.

Purnima.

Hi Raj
Function Modules
Function modules are procedures that are defined in special ABAP programs only, so-called function groups, but can be called from all ABAP programs. Function groups act as containers for function modules that logically belong together. You create function groups and function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder.
Function modules allow you to encapsulate and reuse global functions in the SAP System. They are managed in a central function library. The SAP System contains several predefined functions modules that can be called from any ABAP program. Function modules also play an important role during updating and in interaction between different SAP systems, or between SAP systems and remote systems through remote communications.
Unlike subroutines, you do not define function modules in the source code of your program. Instead, you use the Function Builder. The actual ABAP interface definition remains hidden from the programmer. You can define the input parameters of a function module as optional. You can also assign default values to them. Function modules also support exception handling. This allows you to catch certain errors while the function module is running. You can test function modules without having to include them in a program using the Function Builder.
The Function Builder also has a release process for function modules. This ensures that incompatible changes cannot be made to any function modules that have already been released. This applies particularly to the interface. Programs that use a released function module will not cease to work if the function module is changed.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/9f/db988735c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
You can execute function module in SE37ie you can perform the activiites defined in the function module by executing it.
By deleting BOM you mention the FM name in se37 and execute. In some function module it will ask input parameters as developed in the program , you have to give the input parameters and execute.

FM SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST no longer available in Release 702 ?

We are in the process of upgrading to ECC 6 Release 702. In the new release, the standard Function Module SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST (which is used to get a list of files on an application server directory), has all its code commented out and replaced by a single statment "raise ACCESS_ERROR".
There is an SAP "security" note 1555144 which mentioned FM SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST as a security risk and recommends that FM SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST be disabled using the "raise ACCESS_ERROR" statement. However, there seems to be no mention of an alternative FM or method that can be used to work around the security issue. There is really nothing to stop us from creating our own custom Z version of the FM, but then the security issue will still be there.
Has anyone else out there come across this issue and if so what was your approach in working around this ?
Thanks in advance.
Alvin

Hi all
Interesting conversation
We run into this same issue earlier this year when we did on ERP EHP5 upgrade for our client. At the moment we have a temporary solution to this, but that must replaced soon.
We asked SAP about this SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST function, and in short the answer was, well, you should not have used it because the status of that function module is Not Released. Fair enough, we really should not have used that since like they said, 'Not Released' basically means it is for internal use and they can and will change those function modules when and how they want, like they just did with this FM.
So, we asked if they have replacement for that FM. Answer was a reference to a note which tells us what is consulting and what is OSS case, meaning, either that they won't tell or they don't have a replacement.
We then searched and searched and found few nice candidates for replacement, also the ones mentioned here. But the problem with all of this function modules is the same, the status of them is 'Not Released'. Our client does not want to replace one burned function module with another 'Not Released' function module (and to be honest, neither do I), so we are in a limbo at the moment.
We do have some ideas (create our own function module which would use external command the read files etc.) but I really find it strange that there does not seem to be an official solution for this. Well, maybe when more and more clients upgrade to Netweaver 7.02, maybe then something happens.

Trying to understand the Release Process with Milestones

Here's my goal:
I want to control the release of a project so that only certain WBSs can accumulate costs once certain milestones are reached. I want to block people from confirming activities out of order.
I created a project with the following activities:
Kick Off (milestone) -> Design -> Approve (stop milestone)
The design activity is where we will plan work and charge time.
I released the Kick Off activity only, leaving the Design & Approve activities in the CRTD status
It has it's own WBS, so my project looks like this:
Project (top WBS) PREL
Kick Off activity REL
Design WBS CRTDDesign Activity CRTD
Approve activity CRTD
When I final confirm the Kick Off activity with CN25, the system reports an error:
"CN699 One or more than one activity was not released. See log"
The Kick Off activity gets status "FKTF - Error when processing function". There is no way I can find to view a log to see what happened. After googling around it seems like the release failed because my Design WBS is not released, however releasing this WBS also releases the Design Activity!
Questions:
What am I missing? How is this milestone release function meant to be used?
If I cannot automatically release an activity in a WBS that is not released, how do you release the WBS only? Why can I release an activity manually in project builder (giving the WBS PREL) , but not automatically with a milestone?
Where is the log mentioned in the CN699 error?
How do you un-release something? In case it was released by mistake, I want to unrelease it so no charges are made.

Hi,
WBS 'Release' status can control whether you can confirm activity assigned to it. If you release WBS , all assigned activity ( Please make sure you are using Activty assigned network PS02 & you have mentioned WBS element in the network activity details. Do not maintain WBS in network header) will be released automatically.
Anyway you have released kickoff activity, just make sure assinged WBS is also released. You may need to create one more WBS ( kick off WBS) just like design WBS at same level.
A
1: There is no such thing as 'Stop Milestone'( Or Start Milestone). Milestones are assigned to last activity you want to monitor for completion meaning when network activity in fully Confirmed(CNF) & there is milestone assigned to it, Milestone is considered release. You can have many functions with Milestone reaching released status( trigger billing unblock, MilestoneTrend analaysis)
2: You can manually release activity in WBS . Releasing WBS will release activity automatically so you cannot prevent activity release , if you decide to release WBS. WBS is parent object & releasing it will release all child object.
Milestone release will not release activity, it is otherway around. Reaching CNF status on last activity will release milestone.
3: Go to network display , there must be log , if activity status shows it.
4: There is no undo functions for 'Release' (Like Cancel TECO) of project/WBS/Activity. Since you can start posting cost after relese , it will violate integrity , if such function is provided. There could be BAPI available to unrelease .
Hope this helps,
Jatin

Can I execute a function module in my Webdynpro App ?

Hi,
Can I execute a function module in my Webdynpro App ? I mean, it's not a BAPI.
Is it possible ? which is the procedure to follow ? (comparing to a bapi procedure).
Thanks for your help !
Regards from Mexico. =)
Diego

Hi Diego,
the warning icon indicates that you're using a function module that has not been externally released. If the corresponding function module has been defined by SAP, its interface might be changed in an incompatible way within one of the next releases, e.g. removing / renaming a parameter or structure field. Stability is only guaranteed for BAPIs or external released function modules.
From the point of view of the model import it does not make any difference. If import does not work, there seems to be some other problem. Maybe the function module has not been activated in the R/3 system. Or check the log file or the import log page which will be the last page of the import wizard.
You might want to import some other none external released function module in order to verify that model import of these kind of function module works.
Kind regards,
Lothar Bender
