SES Release Strategy not invoked in Backend from SRM confirmation posting

Hi,
I have configured a SES release strategy based on vendor number in R/3. When a SES is created in R/3 via ML81N the release strategy is invoked as expected. However, when a confirmation is entered in SRM for that vendor, the SES that is created in the backend system is created in accepted status and the release strategy is not invoked.
Can anyone advise how to get this to work the same way as ML81N?
I would expect that the SES would be created in the backend from the confirmation without acceptance and the release procedure to be the same as ML81N.
thanks,
Michelle.

Hi,
The SRM confirmation in EBP is the goods receipt(MIGO) and not the service entry sheet entry (ML81N) as we do in Materials management.
As per my understanding there is no provision of service entry sheet entry in SRM 5.0 as of now and SRM 7.0 has this option coming up :
In SRM 7.0 ,
"Supplier-maintained confirmation (service entry sheet) for services performed based on the service items within a purchase order
Confirmation supporting hierarchical structure of service items"
are added.
Look for this information in the thread which speaks about SRM 7.0
Re: Benefits of upgrading to SAP SRM 2007
which gives the info in slide 11, Delta SRM 7.0, Service procurement -2

Purchae requisition Release strategy not Invoked

Hi,
I have Purchase requisition Release startegy.
Criteria is
1. Account assignment category -K
2. Material Group suppose -001
3. Plant - 4001
4. Valuation Price - 1000 USD.
Then Release staregy got Invoked. Presently it is working fine.
I have Created another Release strategy for with same criteria but I have added another criteria with user name- ernam.
Same thing I have created characterstic and assigned to Class.
CL24N and CL20N also Maintained.
But this New Release stragey Not Invoked and Old one only invoked at the time of requsition created.
Please guide me is there any configuration to Invoke this new Strategy?
Regards,
Sridhar.

Hi Indranil,
Thanks for your response.
I thought user name will differentiate the new release strategy with old one.
I am using same parameters in both strategies.
Plants, Material groups, Cost center same with old one. New release strategy very few members are going to use.
Business is few users will create Pur Req. Users are not having release codes. Tracking number also used in another release strategy.

Sridhar.

Release strategy not trigerred if PR changed after Approval

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement kindly help.   We have a PR generated from PS module, This PR is released by the approver. After the Approval, PS user change the PR qty and value has been increased. Now my client wants that this PR should be again sent for approval and release strategy should be trigerred. After the approval my release indicator is 2 RFQ/Purchase Order. I have set the Changeability indicator to 4 and define the tolerance to 0.1 %.
But PR release not trigerred even after this. Kidnly help.
Thanks.
Johi

Hi Johi,
Check note 493900 point 3:
3. Question :
Why is the release strategy not reset?
Answer :
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.
I hope this helps.

Ashwini.

SES release strategy being incorrectly triggered

Dear All,
We have maintained release strategy for Service Entry Sheet. In the SES release strategy class only the following characteristic is maintain
a. Name of the person who creates the Service entry sheet
In the release strategy only 'a', 'b' and 'c' users are maintained in the above characteristic. But in the system even if a user f creates the service entry sheet the system applied the release strategy on it too and asks for release code. The system should only ask for release code if a,b or c user creates SES.
Thank you!

Hi There
Just a guess,,
In CT04- for Name of Person who Created the SES (ERNAM)- in the values tab-
Check the indicator-Additional Values is eanbled or not,, if enable remove it and try
Thanks

Subject : PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less Total PO
Dear Friends
We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy with multiple approvers. After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced . The new PO value should have changed the PO release strategy. But it is not changed. Old release strategy only showing in the PO which is wrong.
Details of the PO
PO no 4500000123 with 5 line items Total PO value : 100,000 USD Release strategy : AB
PO line item 5 deleted. Now total PO value changed to 50,000 USD and the PO release strategy should have been changed to AA but not changed. Still showing PO release strategy AB only.
Are there any OSS notes available to correct his bug.
Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
release indicators change it to 4.It may works. Please explore to all 6 indicators..........
i.e,
1-cannot be changed
2-changable,no new determination of strategy
3-changable,new release in case of strategy
4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change
5-changable,new release if new strategy/outputted
6-changable,new release if new strategy or value changed/ outputted......
And check Characteristic description and value in Classification of Release strategies ........
I hope this will help you. Thanking you.

cns

Hi,
Unless you provides details, difficult to suggest an answer.
What are release criteria's you selected for PO and PR release strategy?
What are the release characteristics you have for PO and PR release procedure?
If you configure perfectly the PO and PR release strategy, did you transfers the "Vital Release Values" with your release strategy with release group and release class.
Refer few threads , may help full to you!

Release strategy not working - no multiple releases

Hi All,
Thanks for your help.
I have resolved that issue.
Now I am facing another problem.I am having release strategy with release codes R1,R2,R3,R4.
For certain amount say 1-99 I need only R1 approval.
and 100-199 the Po should go to R2 approval only and for 200-299 it should go to R3 level approver.But for amount >300 PO need both R3 and R4 approval.The PO should go for R4 Release after R3 Release.
R1,R2,R3 levels are working fine as the PO goes only at one level.But for R4 it not working.
The users are selected based on the roles assigned.
I am using a Ztable to get the roles where release code,group and roles are populate.
For each Release code are assigned Say for R1 it is ZR1 and R2 it is ZR2 etc...for each level the users selected based on roles say for R1 ---users will have roles ZR1.
But at R4 level I need to select the users for both ZR3 and ZR4.
When I am triggering the WF using Purchase order as Po number and Release code as R4 it is not selecting R3 roles.
I am using the user exit for the user determination based on roles.
Can anyone please help me on how to resolve this.
Thanks and Regards
Raju

Hi Sujoy!
Thanks for the resolution.
My question is: Currently, plant is set as one of the characteristic in the release strategy. Hence, this problem!!
Now, we need to remove this "plant" and maybe consider including Company code or Purchase organization as the characteristic.
1. Pl tell me how to implement this?

Create PO at backend from SRM

Hi
I have below scenario to create PO at backend from SRM
1)SRM Shopping cart(assign contract number) ->Create PO at ERP
2)SRM Shopping cart ->RFx-> RFx Response -> Create PO at ERP.
Can you pls confirm below doubts.
1) Does the BAPI(BAPI_PO_CREATE1) is called for both above scenario?
2) Also I want to know how the attachment transfer is carried out from SRM to Backend.
I found note to implement BADI BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW at SRM for backend transfer.
I implemented as follows including setting at ERP DC10,DC20,DC30.
method IF_EX_BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW~FILL_PO_INTERFACE1.
Enable transfer of attachments in classic scenario
cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
cs_ctrl_att-BE_STORAGE_CAT = 'ZDMS_CT_CT'.
cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
endmethod.
But i could not understand the general flow how the file attachment at SRM Portal is transferred to ERP DMS.
can you please explain.
Regards
Chandra

Hi Masa
Thanks for your reply.
yes, we are working on SRM7.0 EHP4.0.
As you said, I can see in PI SXMB_MONI messages the PO is created in ERP backend.
But why its going thru ESOA? Why its not taking above BAPIs and RFC to transfer the PO datas?
Also again the attachment is missing in PO created. its not transferred in ESOA standard?
Addon possible to solve the problem?
For your information.
We transferred ERP PR file attachment as URL from ERP to SRM using BBP_TRANSFER program.
Now after attaching file in SRM portal at RFX ,how PO is transffered to ERP?
Pls guide me what should be done?

SES Release Strategy

Hi,
Need to configure release strategy for SES unfortunately SPRO setting for the configuration are closed on live client.
How can i get the client open, Do i need knowledge of specific objects?
Alternatively can i configure and transport the release strategy from a dev. client where SPRO is open ?
Any help would be appreciated

HI,
Make use of this path
SPRO-> IMG-> Materials Management-> External Services Management-> Define Release Procedure for Service Entry Sheet
You are not allowed to touch the configuration part in the production client. for that matter nobody will have.
what you have to do is that you have to config in the development and create a transfer request and then transfer this request to the Quality test the release process if everything is proper then transfer the request to production from development with proper approval
Thanks & regards,
Kiran

PO Release Strategy not triggerred for particular Total Net Order Value

Dear,
I am currently facing the issue where release strategy for purchase orders is not getting triggered for a particular value or lower.
For order value 1 INR or less, no release strategy is triggered for new created PO. And for value > 1 INR release strategy is getting triggered.
All otehr PO characterstics are the same, I mean to say the values for other characterstics such as plant material group are identical.
But the characterstics for release for Total net order value are <= 30000 INR. There are two system copies, where in one system the same release strategy is working as expected. But in other system the above mentioned issue occurs. There is no differnce which I can see in the release strategy setup.
Please suggest for solution.
Thank you.
Warm Regards.

Dear All,
While looking further into the issue by going into debugging mode, we have found that in include LCLSCF2I, Internal table p_selection_criteria_tab , the value for ATFLV (Internal Floating point from) gets different values in the two systems. For example, in the affected system, for PO with 1INR tottal value, for one of the Total value chaaracterstics before INR characterstic, ATFLV value is 0,0000000000000000E+00, hence it gets out of loop and doesn't trigger release strategy.
But in another system for same PO values and release setup, ATFLV value is 1,0000000000000000E+00 for that characterstic.
May I know how the value for this field gets calculated.
Thank you.
Warm Regards.

Release strategy not triggering for Specif plant

Hi Friends
I configured a release strategy with three charecteristics. P.org, Plant, Net value.
this stretegy is triggering for specific plants which are under a particular company code, and if I change to my plant and P.org. its not triggering.
I have deleted all the classifications and release strategies from, no other data in VV_T16FS_2 , AUSP,T16FV,and T16FS tables except this release strategies data.
do we have any settings at cocode level??????
please respond if answer known
Points would be awarded for for your valuable answer.

Thank you deepak for your quick respond
Actually There were already release strategies with same charecteristics, and with the values of other plants and other P.orgs which are under certain companycode.
these were triggering perfectly for PO
Now created new strategy for plant and P.org under different plant code of different cocde. this strategy not triggering for PO.
but if the release strtegy values replaced by the erlier plants and P.org again its triggering.
Now I created new chars, class, and stategies still same problem persists.
Release stategy working for the values of a prticular company code plants, Porgs.
and already tried your suggestion Cocode as char. but same its working for only that company code not for my companycode

Release Strategy not updated in PR

Hello,
We had a purchase requisition that was released manually via ME54n. The status of the PR is "approved" (which it should be) in the tables in SAP. (We have tables in SAP for the front end portal to view the status of PRs). However, when we look at the PR in me53n, on the release strategy tab at item level, it still shows "release possible". And we are unable to create a PO from that PR.
Not sure why the tables got updated correctly but not in the PR itself in me53n.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you,

Thx for reply ...
But here in my case , the status "FOR OVERALL RELEASE" is only being appeared for few PRs, for all other PRs either the status is "IN Release" or "Release Completed".
Although all PRs are subjected to OVERALL Release.
I couldn't identify the reason why only few PRs have "FOR OVERALL RELEASE".Also like to share all such PRs has already been approved by approvers but instead of "Release complete" , system is showing me status "FOR OVERALL Release"
Appreciate if you could let me know the reason for the same.\
regards

Release strategy not working

Hi All,
I am working on a release procedure.All the release procedure configurations have been done for PO release .I have modified the user exit that determines the approvers which is a part of role 2000027 and I am using the standard WF 20000075 itself.
But after that when I creating a PO it is not triggering the WF.
When I am test the WF in SWUS by giving PO number and release code,its working fine.
But when I am Creating PO from ME21N workitem is not going to the user.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this.
Thanks
Raju

Does the PO have any Release Strategy tab in the Header of the PO. If not then your Release strategy is not configured in SPRO. Search this forum for configuration
2)If the PO has Release Strategy tab then please check in SWE2 whether the Linkage between the event and Workflow is activated. If not activate it. Also please check entries in SWEL Transaction code.
Thanks
