Source Determination resets the release strategy of the PR

Hi
I am trying to automate the Purchasing Cyle by running ME57 as a batch job along with ME59n for stock items on contract, however when I create the PR and approve it, when ME57 picks this approved PR it assigns the source automatically but removes the approval! I am having the ABAP consultants debug this, however is there something elementary that I have left out?

Check if u have release strategy based on vendor - FLIEF. This could be a reason. When u change the vendor or assign a vendor, the release strategy is getting reset .

ML81N Enhancement to trigger the 'Release Strategy'..very urgent !!

Hi Guys,
ML81N work in a manner such that if the net amount for any PO/Service entry is less than $2500 then its 'Release Strategy' tab is not active, because the minimum value should be 5000$ to trigger the 'Release Strategy'.
I have a requirement where i have to make that tab active and select the Lowest Release Strategy (the one for 5000$) even when the amount is less than $2500.
I have already tried with the ser exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_003, its a blank user exit and the structure available is CESSR.
Can any one tell me how to activate the 'Release Strategy' tab and the lowest Release stratedy should be selected ????
What i have investigated is that once i will set the Release Strategy to the lowest Release stratedy then that tab will automatically become active.
Please tell me how to select the lowest Release strategy using the CESSR structure ?
Points will be awarded...
Thanks
Rahul

Use this exit.

Reset contract release strategy ME32K

Hi Gurus,
I need to reset the release strategy of the contract everytime some value on the item screen EKPO got changed.
I've already implemented the EXIT -> EXIT_SAPLEBND_002, but it only changes the header EKKO with the structure CEKKO.
Please help me ASAP.
Thanks.

For PR's, there is no header level data. Because vendor number is optional since it is internal document .
If you are releasing all line items at a time, need header level release.
If you release line item by line item, need item level release.
But in the case PO/Contract/SA, these are final reference documents and sending to the vendor as external documents.
That's vendor number is at header level field and line item in the PO are related to the single vendor.
You can release all the items in the PO or u can reject entire PO, not a single line item.
That's why, only header level release is possible for the PO/Contract/SA.
Other than this information please for through this link

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is not possible in SAP standard.
You have to use User Exit;

And Function Module;
EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 - Changes to Communication Structure for Release of Purchasing

Release strategy on the PO

Dear MM Gurus,
I tried to create a release strategy following the procedures per IMG, but my problem was that there was no display of that release strategy on the PO. What is the usual cause of this problem?
Regards,
Aktolga

Hi,
First, please kindly check note 365604 point 2(b).
b) The characteristics must be entered as they are specified on the
   database, that is, the item category must be entered in the
   internal format, for example (value 0-9), cost centers or
   material numbers must be entered with leading zeros..."
You can use transaction CL30N 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." Please check knowledge based article
1497235 .

Ashwini.

How to set the Release Strategy without classification for PR

Hi,
I am able to set Release Strategy for PO with classification, however, now I want to set the Release Strategy for PR with classification. Can someone tell how to proceed to set the Release Strategy to PR with Account Assignment.
I crated the Release Codes, however not able to find what options to choose in the following steps :-
Release indicator
Assign Release Indicators
Release Points: Prerequisites
Determination of Release Strategy
Regards,
Yogesh

1. Release codes
   Create the release codes.     For Purch. Officer, Manager and Sr. Manager
Like PO, MG, SM
2. Release indicators
   Define release indicators and branch to the detail screen. Here you
   define whether fixed purchase requisitions may be changed by Materials
   Planning, for example, and whether an RFQ or a purchase order may be
   created from the requisition.
   You can also determine the field selection here.
In the area "Changes after the start of the release procedure", you
   specify whether a requisition may be changed after the release
   procedure has begun. You specify whether the strategy has to be
   redetermined after changes, or whether the release procedure has to
   start all over again from the beginning.
This parameter bears a relation to the parameter "Value change". For
   example, previous releases are not cancelled if the value of the
   requisition item after the change does not exceed plus 10% of its
   original value.
Attention:
   Be sure to create a release indicator (e.g. B for "blocked") that
   serves as the starting point for subsequent indicators. Do not set the
   indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the detail
   screen for this indicator.
   Also create a release indicator characterizing the released status.
   Set the indicators for release for the issue of RFQs and PO on the
   detail screen.
You can use sytem defined indicator in this case you dont have to do anything
3. Assignment of release indicators
   Assign a release indicator in dependence on the status of the release.
Example:
   You create a release strategy S1 consisting of two release codes 01
   and 02. Release with 01 is a prerequisite for release with 02. If
   release has been effected with 01, the requisition has been given the
   "all clear" for the issue of RFQs.
   You have created the release indicators B (blocked), 1 (cleared for
   issue of RFQs) and 2 (cleared for RFQs and PO).
   Now enter the following as assignment:
Strategy   C1 C2 C3 ...
   S1                          B (blocked)
   S1         X                1 (RFQ)
   S1         X   X            2 (RFQ/PO)
4. Release prerequisites
   Define which release codes are involved in a release strategy. Specify
   whether a code is set for a release status following release, and
   whether one release status is a prerequisite for another (+).
   Example:
Strategy   Code C1 C2 C3 ...
S1         01    X
S1         02    +   X
5. Determination of the release strategy
Determine the conditions under which each release strategy is
assigned. The criteria are account assignment category, material
group, plant, and value of the requisition item.
Here you can define the you criteria but one thing you keep in mind that you hae to define all criteria.
E.G if you will not define the Material group here but it will default in req in that case this will not work thats the reason you have to work with Classification.
<b>In the classification whatever criteria you need that only you have to include like in your case you care about A/C category and value only.     </b>

Item category control the release strategy?

Hi,
Currently the purchase of a material needs to be released.
My issue is that as soon as I change the item category in the sales order,
the material does not need to be released.
How does item category control the release strategy?
Sincerely,
Ketan

Hi Ketan,
You can set item category in the characteristic of a release strategy.
In your case, I guess the item category characteristic is already created. So you can just add the desire value into the characteristic.
Go to SPRO > IMG > Material Management > Purchasing > Purchase Requisition > Release Procedure > Procedure With Classification > Set Up Procedure With Classification > Release Strategies
Select the related release strategy, double click to view the detail. You will see there are 4 buttons in the bottom of the screen. Choose 'Classification' and enter you value of item category.
Thanks & regards,
JT

To show the release status of the transport request

Hello Experts,
I am having a requirement like the following:
I need to list the transports along with the release status of the transport request in a View.
Release status means that transport request imported into Development system, Quality system and Production system.
Which table will hold this information?
I have checked with E070. But i dont know how to find in that. Or any other table is there to do this?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Suresh

Hello Kalyan,
I dont know how to find my request in TMSBUFTXT.
For example i am having a TR now in Dev system: XXX45678.
If i have imported it to Quality system, then how to find this entry?
Or if i have imported it to Production system, then how could i find that the TR XXX45678 is now in Production system.
Since i am creating a View, i need the information that in which Database Table this entry will be stored.
I dont want Function module name.
Best Regards,

When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

Reset PR release Strategy - ME55

Hi,
Can someone advise if ME55 can be used to reset the PR release strategy collectively? If not, is there a transaction code that can do so. Till now, i can only ME54 to single reset the PR release strategy. Thanks.

ME55 is to collectively release the PR not for resetting . so you have individually go in each pr and reset the release . there is no such tcode for collective reset.

Resetting RFQ Release Strategy

Dear colleagues,
We are using RFQ release to select appropriate bid among set of biddings. Suppose an RFQ is approved, letu2019s say RFQ number 10, within a set of RFQsu2019. After negotiations with vendorsu2019 new bids are made, letu2019s say RFQ number 20 and 30, which has fewer prices than the approved one. In this case RFQ release should be reset, but it does not.
I know that SAP considers PO, RFQ, and Contract as purchasing documents and logic of release strategy are same.
Is there any way to achieve this requirement?
Regards
Metin

Hi,
You are trying to use release for which it is not supposed to be.
Release is for only for the approval of an RFQ before it is issued to Vendor.
In your case if you are having multiple quotes for an item based on the negotiations carried out with vendor, the same should be updated to the existing RFQ created.
For example you created RFQ-R1 for vendor V1 and RFQ-R2 for Vendor V2.
When you first receive the quotations you maintain using ME47 for RFQ R1 and R2.
Now when you negotiate with V1 and get a better price the same should be updated in R1.
So this way R1 at any point of time will have the latest negotiated price.
The item changes recorded when doing the changes can be viewed if you require. You may have to create a custom report to view these.
Similarly the Me49 might need to be customized to suit to your comparison needs.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards

Deleting of message type after reseting of release strategy

Dear Team,
My requirement is when the PO is finally release and outputted to vendor, its relaese indicator is set to 'R'(i,e, Relaesed, no changes) . Now if for any reason i have to do some modification , I have to repeat the output via ME9F so as it seems that PO is again ready to output. Now using transaction 'ME28'', I will goto derelaese the the PO
Now I have the requirement, is there any way that just after dereleasing from ME28, the message type that I have added which allows me to reset the release, got deleted.
That when now i goto ME22N, for making the modification, their must not be any preconfigured message type and genereated when do any changes.
This is required to print the amendment in PO,
So please suggest if their is any modification or enhacement available to achieve the above
Regrads
SAPABAP

Hi,
1st try with standard functionality and if not possible then go for enhacement. You needed in ME22N,if you do or make the modification in PO ,no preconfigured message type should be triggred automatically or no output genereated.
Lets example you have PO message type ZNEU and its clear that you need preconfigured message type should be triggred automatically for PO output for PO creation ONLY. Use the below path:
SPRO->MM->Purchasing>Message->Output control->Message tyoes-> Define message type for Purchase Order--->Fine-Tuned Control: Purchase Order
As you needed,then DO NOT make entry or if entry is there,just DELETE for PO change not to trigges any message type
{Indicator for print----
condition type
2----
ZNEU}
NOTE: Then think about how you will have PO print after any changes in PO.But you can think of not having automatically PO message type on PO creation or PO changes and can ONLY enter PO message type manually for PO print.So do not select u201CAccess to conditionu201D check box in NACE t.code for your PO message type ZNEU.

Cancel the release and change the z segment in new version.

Hi,
I have a Z segment created in 4.6c.
Now we have upgraded to ECC and i want to change one of the field ( i.e data element of the field ) and I am not able to change it.
It gives me the hard error. I am unable to cancel the relase and do the modication.
If I try to add a version it doesnt accept it with out any additonal fields.
I have tried deleting the segemnt in Basic type and tried deleting the whole segemnt, but it doesn accept this way too.
Any ideas how to go about it?
Thanks,
Krishna.

Hello,
I had a similar problem when I tried to delete fields from a segment. I also wasn't able to cancel the release of the segment and the release of the extended idoc type.
The reason seems to be that the idoc extension and the segment have been set to "released" in a lower release version of the sap-system.
I was able to edit the segment when I changed the corresponding table entry in EDISDEF and set the release to the current one. However that is no solution I would like to propose.
Anyway the problem could have something to do with the release of the the sap-system. In this case I would be glad if someone could offer a solution which is more close to the standard than editing the system tables directly.
