Sales order release strategy

hello everybody.
marketing person prepares the sales order and he enters some discount in the pricing procedure. the requirement is that a higher level person will first check if the discounting and other terms & conditions have been maintained correctly. then he/she will release the sales order & the system should run the MRP.
is there any release provision available in SAP that will not allow the marketing person to create the sales order but the order will be saved by some other higher authority? The marketing person should not be able to save the sales order even if he/she tries to do.
please give me the solution step by step if it is a long procedure.

hi,
In a condition record, you can define upper and lower limits to restrict manual changes in the sales document during pricing.
Procedure
To specify limits:
On the overview screen of the condition record, select the appropriate condition record and then choose Goto ® Details.The details screen for the condition record is displayed. Here you can maintain the Upper limit and Lower limit fields as required.
If, during manual processing, you exceed or drop below a defined limit, the system informs you with an error message.
" is there any release provision available in SAP that will not allow the marketing person to create the sales order but the order will be saved by some other higher authority ". not sure if i understood this perfectly. Anyway, dont give the marketing person access to VA01 t.code.
as an alternative, put a credit limit check for all the orders that it goes to a delivery block. let the sales order be saved. no issue. but put a user exit that unless the credit block is released by VKM3 no schedule line is permitted. And VKM3 release provision you give it only to higher level person.
hope it helps.
Thanks

WMS : How to Process Sales Order Released before Turning on WMS

Hello Gurus,
How to process sales orders released before WMS enable flag is turned on in the new WMS enviournment in Oracle 11.5.10 ?

Helios,
Thanks for the document.
I m looking for how to perform Pick confirm transactions for already printed Pick slips before WMS enabled flag is turn on for the org.
One option is to close all the deliveries but if there is no on hand at that point the they will remain option.
Other option is to Back order those deliveries and re release them post wms enable flag is turned on... The only issue i see here is that if there are more new orders for one of the items and the orders are released then which orders will get allocated/reserved if there is limited on hand quantity to statisfy the SO need.
Let me know if you can think off some alternative solution.
Apprecite help !!
Thanks,

Change in Purchase Order Release Strategy Values

Dear All,
I am in process of changing Purchase Order release strategy values.
I have following release strategy -
                       Current Value                  (Proposed Value)
Level 1 -         Upto INR 0.1 Mn               (Proposed value - Upto 1.0 Mn)
Level 2 -         From 0.11 Mn to 0.5 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 1.01 Mn to 5.00 Mn)
Level 3 -         From 0.51 Mn to 1.0 Mn   (Proposed Value - From 5.01 Mn to 10.0 Mn)
Level 4 -         Above 1.0 Mn                  (Proposed Value - Above 10.0 Mn)
My questions are -
1) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are not yet released?
2) Will this change affect the existing Purchase Orders (already created) which are released?
3) Are there any risk factors?
Can you pl. put light on above questions?
Regards,
Prashant Kolhatkar

Hi,
Actually, what you had given is not enough to determine if the existing PO will be impacted or not
If you are just changing the classification but not changing the number of release level of the release code in the release strategy, the partial released PO will not be impacted unless there's PO changes. PO that are released will definitely not be impacted unless there are changed.
In general, after a release strategy is determined for PO, SAP will retrieve the latest list of release code of that release strategy for display for that PO. If this list never change (mean you only change classification of the release strategy), then they will not be apparent to the user. But if this list change (you add new release code, replace existing release code or remove release code), then you will see some discrepency on screen as you will only see the modified list of release code and not the old list of release code
Hope this help

Problem with purchase order release strategy

Hi Guru's
    i am dealing with problem of service purchase order release strategy , when i making the service po , i am not giving any over fulfillment tolerance , after release & making Service entry sheet of PO ,   when i go to the change mode and change
over fulfillment tolerance say 90% , system allow me to make , and not applying release strategy again , so there can be a miss use of this Scenario , so is there any possibility that release strategy , will appear again when change the tolerance ,
0r any other idea from your side , to avoid this ,
your suggestions are really always helpful to me , please guide me for this also
Thanks & regards
Neha

Hi Neha,
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
- the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
   case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
   another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
   quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
- the document is still subject to the previous release
   strategy,
- the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The total net order value is linked to CEKKO-GNETW for a purchase order,
CEBAN-GSWRT for a purchase requisition item-wise release and CEBAN-GFWRT
for a purchase requisition overall release.
If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release
(V_161S-TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the
document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the
document is still subject to the previous release strategy.
Review the SAP note 365604 and 493900 for more
information about Release strategy.
Regards,
Ashwini.

Purchase Order Release Strategy Approval

HI All,
I have an issue with the Purchase Order Release Strategy, I need to set the Release strategy at 2 levels.
Level one will have 1 approver
Level two must have two approvers.
The scene is:
Level one will approve all purchase orders betwee 400 to 5000 euros. 1 approver only
Level two will approve all purchase orders above 5000 euros. 2 approvers.
The problem is that the level two approvers must have the same Purchasing Group, Release strategy and Code, that is.
Pur. group G70, Release Group GC and release strategy DF.
I have completed the customising and the Release simulation is working correctly but when the PO is created the is no release strategy proposed.
CL20N is completed for both levels and works correctly for level one approval but not for level two
Can any please help
Leslie

Hi,
May be in your case the values are not properly designed in release strategy for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) release characteristic.Now go for creation of following release characteristics
1. PO Order Type (ZPO_BSART),
2. Company Code (ZPO_ BUKRS),
3. Purchasing Organization (ZPO_EKORG),
4.Plant (ZPO_WERKS)
5. Purchasing Group (ZPO_ EKGRP) and
6. Total net PO Value (ZPO_GNETW)
Create one release class ZPO_CLASS & then add all above release characteristics
And then design your release strategies as required.
AND under release characteristic for PO Value (ZPO_GNETW) keep following values
A. <= 400 EUR
B. 400.01- 5000 EUR
C. >5000 EUR
As you already created Release Group GC & release strategy DF (1st level), now create another release strategy DS (2nd level).
NOTE: As you needed one releaser at 1st level and then two releasers in 2nd level. So create three release codes C1 for 1st level and C2 & C3 for 2nd level.
In designing release strategies for PO , you can keep value 400.01- 5000 EUR with release codes C1 under DF release strategy and Keep value >5000 EUR with release codes C2 & C3 under DS release strategy.

Purchase order release strategy based on over delivery tolerance level

Hi Boss,
I like to set the Purchase order release strategy based on the over delivery tolerance. But when i checking, the over delivery tolerance filed UEBTO is not in the communication structure CEKKO. Can you please help me how should i extend the CEKKO with field UEBTO.
I do not have the ABAP experience, please guide me with coding.
Thank you,
Siva

Hi Siva:
You should request the development key for this structure under your SAP system, then you can add the extra fields in CEKKO.
Good luck

Purchase order release strategy with a characteristic value as a variable

Hi all,
We have Purchase order release strategy based on the following characteristics:
Total Net Order Value
Purchasing Organization
a few other custom fields
We would like to add a characteristic based on the creator of the PO. In the purchasing department there are two person which have the authorization to create an release POs. The goal is now to check if the actual user, who release the PO, is different from the PO creator. The value of this characteristic may not be a fix value, it must be contain the name of the actual user name.
Is there are a possibility to insert the characteristic value as a variable such as SY-UNAME instead a fix value?
Thanks,
Charles

this is verymuch possible. You can use unsed fields user1, user2 etc in CEKKO or (ii) insert a new field in CEKKOZZ and use the new field. You need to build up logic in user-exit such that this field will take the value of person who had logged in. This can be done by ABAPer.
Hope this resolves ur problem

Purchase order release strategy with multiple characteristics

Hi All,
We have Purchase order release strategy based on the following characteristics:
Total Net Order Value
Purchasing Organization
Release strategy Type
a few other custom fields
We would like to have PO's with release strategy based on a particular Material Group [say X]. I have created a new Characteristic with respect to CEKKO-MATKL and added this characteristic to the same class.
I have created a new release code [HR] [we need a different person to sign off] and a new release strategy [TR] for which I have assigned the release code HR. In this release strategy, I have set it to get activated for a particular Material Group that does seem to work, but the remaining PO's are not getting triggered for other material groups. For other release strategies, I have left the material group field blank, because they need to be triggered for any material groups except X.
Could you please let me know if I am missing something or is there an alternate approach to this ?
Thank you,
Satish

Hi,
Obviously system will not trigger release strategy in ur case since in the classification data for other strategies u have left it blank excepting X for one strategy.
Since u have added a new characteristic Material group and assigned it to class then system expects an input for Material group for triggering release tab.If this is left blank then system by default will not trigger release strategy tab.
Solution:
First add all existing material groups in values tab of mat group characteristic then maintain the required set of material groups except X in other strategies in classification data.
Hope this is clear to you.

Uzair

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.

Sales order released from Credit block, but Purchase Requistion not created

Hi,
In third party sales scenario based on Scheduline Line category configuration purchase requistion creates when the order is created. If order is blocked for credit check then purchase requistion will not be created until order released from credit.
Here my scenario is
I have two users like A and B. When A releases the order from credit block by using transaction VKM1, Sales order releasing from credit and creating Purchase requistion. But, if the order is released by B, Sales order is getting released from credit but purchase requstion is not getting created.
There is no issue from security side, we activated trace and analysed everything it is not security issue.
Thanks and Regards
Alokam Chandra Sekhar

Hi Lakshmi,
Thanks for reply. I followed your instructions, pls find my observations below.
1. Can you check the below settings:
What is the Credit status in the header status tab page of the sales order for the B's sales order?
Is it "Not approved or releasedu201D If it is not approved, you might have released the sales order in VKM3, but you might not have saved it.
Reply: We are releasing order through VKM1 and after releasing the order the status is showing as "Released".
2. Did you use the same material for B's Sales order? If it a different material check the Item category and Schedule line category whether these are same with A's sales order.
Reply: Both the orders has same information, like material Item category and scheduline category
3. Check in the Schedule line tab page --> Procurement button whether you have maintain vendor, Source determination and Info record.
Source list has been verified through ME03 transaction and vendor data maintained correctly.
I really appreciate your time and efforts on this.. looking forward some more suggestions...
Thanks and Regards
