User exit in PR Release Strategy/Workflow

Hi xperts,
Need to seek some clarification regarding above subject.
If i were to set in release code config the workflow setting is "9" that is role resolution via user exit, do i still need to config the workflow?
If i do NOT need to config the workflow (whether by user id or position id or etc), how do I assign authorization of release code to the approver?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jurgen
I know that the codes will be assigned via authorization profiles and roles. Let me rephrase my questions:
1. If using user exit for triggering workflow, do i need to maintain the workflow config? or the system will route automatically to the user/approver inbox/email by whatever conditions that hv been setup (or on the other hand, NO need to maintain the workflow cofig)?
2. If system will automatically route to the approver inbox, how do i identify the approvers user id that i need to assign the role?
Thanks.
Anybody??

User Exit for Requisition Release Strategy

Hi All,
Is anyone able to provide any guidance on determining the release strategy of a purchase requisition via a user exit? It has become neccessary to do this due to certain shortcomings of the classes and characteristic functionality.
I believe it's possible, I just don't know how.
Thanks.

User exit for triggering release strategy

Hello Experts,
My requirement is when changes are made in purchase order (ME22N) then once again release strategy will have to get trigger.
is the user exits exists for this purpose,if yes, What is it?. I searched alot but not able to find right exits.

Hello ,
I think you can achieve this via configuration .Basically you want the release strategy to get redetermined based on the changes in the item or if the price of these items increase a certain level .if you have the release startegy as changeble in the SPRO ticked it will automatically go for new release strategy if you have the value of release indicator set .This can be done SPRO->MM->Purchase order->Release procedure for purchase order->Define release procedure->Release indicator.
Set the appropriate value .
Remember you need to know what is that it retrigger that release strategy .
The link below deals with similar requirement ....

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.
I have a requirement where i have to make that tab active and select the Lowest Release Strategy when the amount is less than $2500.
Can anyone please tell me the name of the user exit that controls the 'Release strategy'.
Points will be awarded...
Thanks

Hi
Your settlement rule says "Settle to Cost Center" only.... I dont think any user exit can help in this case, if you want to settle occasioanlly to 2 cost objects
Try with these options
Option A
1. Remove the 100% validation tick in the settlement profile...
2. Maintain 2 settlement rules... i.e. One with Cost center and another with PSG... If any warning comes, ignore it
3. Execute settlement now
Option B
1. Maintain settlement rule with PSG as settlement receiver
2. In the same Settlement rule, Menu GO TO > DETAILS and maintain Cost Center also....
3. Now execute settlement...
Option C
1. Maintain settlement rule with PSG as settlement receiver
2. In the same Settlement rule, populate Cost Center also as a Valid Characteristic
3. Now execute settlement...

PO Release strategy workflow configuration

Hi All,
I am doing PO release strategy workflow configuration in PFTC, Please tell me in this which all configurations come in workbench transport request and which all come in automatic transport request.
Please guide me
Thanks in advance
Pavan

The PR WS00000038 standard Workflow is very simple, you don't have to create a new one, it works, the think is that you need to make some configs in the SPRO
spro
Material Management/Purchaising/Purchase Requisition/ Release Procedure / Procedure With Clasification / Set up procedure with classification/ Workflow
In this config you need to add the: Release Group / release code / object type( US for user id's) / and the User. You have to add one line for each release code that you configured in your release strategies.
After that you have to review the linkage table Tcode: SWETYPV, find the object type BUS2105 and activate the linkage for the event releaseStepCreated, in this you will see the WS00000038.
Now you can start to testing the notifications in the inbox(SBWP) for the configured users using the me51 tcode.

PO Release strategy workflow not getting transferred

Hi All,
I have done all the configurations related to PO release strategy workflow but when transferred to Quality certain configuartion done in PFTC workflow builder are not getting transferred.
I also got message like 'release of purchase order transferred to buffer'.
Please guide.
Thanks in advance
Pavan H S

Hi,
In QA
1) Go to SWU3 check Workflow Configuration Done or not
2) Execute the workflow in SWUS and check it
3) If it working, test the workflow it via T.code SWUE, If not working then workflow is deactivated
4) You have to move the Workbench Transport Request first, then you have to Move customizing Transport Request.

However, plant field is not showing in the PO release strategy workflow screen. they are both in the table T16FW, and plant field is define in the table. Pls help and explain how we can get plant field in the PO release strategy workflow config. Or if this is what SAP design, then is there any other way to accomplish what we want? Thanks a lot!

We have one requirement where PO Release should trigger if amout of PO is greator then PR value. Let me know how this can be achived as I understand that both have different communication structure like CEKKO & CEBAN.

Release Strategy/Workflow for MB21 Reservation

Hello Gurus,
I know as per Standard SAP it is not possible to have a release strategy/workflow for MB21, but if any of you have come across this requirement where material reservation should be approved by related dept heads before the material is issued for those reservations, please reply back with the possible options to configure release strategy or work flow for MB21 even thru development or any other work around.
Your expertise advises will be very helpful for me to work around this requiremnt.
Thanks in advance, looking forward for your reply

Hi Anoop,
Reservations in SAP is just a logical value, which does not have any impact on any stock type. It would be interesting to know why the business needs approval process for reservations.
Anyways even if you need approval process, what you have to do is develop a custom object, where in when ever the business creates a MB21 reservation, assign a unique number to each reservation number.
As a dept head, the business will run the ZMB21, checks the reservation to which he needs to approve. In the back groud call up the unqiue id assigned and place approve button where in dept head can approve the same.
The authorization to this custom tcode should be given as per your requirement.
Hope this helps

PR Release Strategy Workflow

Hi All,
I am working on PR release strategy workflow.
I have developed a custom workflow in which i m using a custom method to release the PR based on some conditions. Workflow is working fine. But the PR is not released. I am not able to track why is it happening?
actually initially i am using bus2009 and later in a task that calls this custom method i am using zbus2009 to call this custom.
I think the data i.e; is not being sent to the method container. I tried, but didnt succeed
Can anyone help me in fixing it?
Thanks,
Raj

Is the Method working when you are Testing the Method from SWO1 with the data you have used in the Workflow instance.
If yes then it is a problem of Binding. Please check whether the parameters are properly binded. Please make sure that the Buiness object that you are using is the same for the method for whose BO you are calling. Analyse the Workfow Log from SWIA and it will solve your issue.
Thanks

About PO Release Strategy Workflow : WS20000075

Hi,
I want a workflow for PO release strategy. I believe that there is a standard workflow WS20000075 for the same.
But I am unable to use it.
I am not a functional guy and there is no one else to assist.
Can somebody tell me how I should go about?
Thanks.

Hi,
WS20000075 this std. Workflow for the PO this has multiple levels of approvals, Depends on the no. of approvals it will flow.
The approver can be picked using the User Exit M06E0005 (EXIT_SAPLEBNF_001 - User Exit ZXM06U51), here you have to write logic to pick the Approver.
The approval workitem comes to SAP Inbox, once the approver click the workitem it will open the Transaction, there the user can approve.
To see the status of the Workflow, Go to ME23N, in the top left a button, Service Object, click on that, a drop down appear in Workflow > Workflow Overview, you can see the status here.

Purchase Order Release Strategy Workflow

Dear SDNers,
I created a custom workflow to trigger workflow when PO created. This workflow send mails to portal for approval to approve the release stratagies of purchase order.
From portal side its working fine. Once the approval approves, user decision step going to next level. every thing is fine from portal side.
But if they go for R3 side to release PO at ME29N, here facing probelm
Suppose, Workitem is waiting at level1. Approver1 recieves used decission step at portal. But by logging into R3 system and release PO, the workitem which is at approver1's inbox has to vanish from his inbox. Its not happening now.
What I hav to do. Kindly let me knwo.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
Two things you should change here:
1. The Event that triggers your workflow should be BUS2012(RELEASESTEPCREATED). This event occurs when a release strategy is activated for a PO due to various reasons.
2. You workflow should have a 1 : 2 fork . One path (fork path) should follow the User Decision path using a portal and the other should be a asynchronous workitem with the following 3 as terminating events:
      BUS2012         RELEASED
      BUS2012         RESET
      BUS2012         SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED
The workitem can be with or without agent.
This should help you.
Regards
Gautam

PO Release strategy Workflow issue

Hi All Workflow Experts,
I need a help in one of the workflows in our project.The workflow is for PO Release Strategy.The problem is in the Production environment and is as mentioned below:
''Users are complaining of irrelevant mails with subject "PRD: PO auto release code" delivered to their lotus notes inbox from SAP workflow. Mail does not carry any further details like whats the PO number etc. In some cases this mail should not be delivered to the recipients as they have nothing to do with PO release strategy approval process.''
As I am not very old in Workflows I want to know where should I start from? I mean what all are the possible
areas where I should look into? Also this issue cannot be replicated in QA environment? So is there any environment specific thing I should do?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Saket.

Hi Saket,
Check who are set as the Recipient types of the workflow mail "PRD: PO auto release code". Also check the condition when the mail is getting send. Check at occurance of what event is the mail getting send to the users. Debug the workflow to fidn out these details and check where the issue really is.
Do post your comments if you find any confusion about the same.

Purchase Release Strategy - Workflow

Hello Everyone,
We have a Purchase Release strategy with workflow. We have an Issue with workflow lying with a approver. Sice the approver is on vacation, is there any way to forward the work item to another user or to automate such scenatio in SAP?
Thanks in advance
Uswin

Hi Guys, thanks for your reply.
The concern here is we have the release strategies already defined & in the normal cases we don't want either User1 or User2 to approve the workitem. We want User1 to approve all the requests. Only in case of exemption, we want to have alternate user to action the request.
Anyway to do it?
Thanks,
Uswin
